FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1895.
As usual the Democrats are carrying Ohio two months before election day.
THE Louisville Post has bolted the Democratic candicate for Governor, and prints the ticket with the name of General Hardin omitted.
THE coinage executed at the mints of the United States during August amounted to 84,517,600, as follows: Gold, S3,672,200 silver, $748,000 minor coins, $97,400.
IT is safe to predict that the greenbacks will not be retired now, whether the President recommends this policy or not. The greenbacks are here to stay—awhile longer at least.
AFTER more than sixteen years Oi litigation, the contest over the will of Bishop Ames, Methodist Episcopal, has been settled. The children are to have -jual shares of what is left of the estate
MAURICE THOMPSON has poem in the September
a .beautiful
in the September Century en
titled "The Ballad of the Chickamauga." In view of the approaching celebration of the National Park on that bloody field the ballad is timely.
AN advance of ten cents an ounce has been made in the price of sterling silver ware by twelve of largest manufacturers. This is not because of any advance in the price of silver bullion, but merely a combination to increa profits.
GENERAL BUCKNKR has withdrawn from the Senatorial race in Kentucky and declines to make a canvass of the State with General Hardin on the ticket. This but adds to the demoralization in the Democratic ranks and correspondingly increases Republican prospects.
.ST. Louis Ol bc Democrat: The latest "prediction" of the political soothsayers is that the contest in the Republican Convention will be between Reed and Allison. iThey say that Quay and
Piatt are as much opposed to McKinley as both are known to be to Harrison, and that each is thus put out of .the race. The friends of each, however, Will keep on working for their favorite. UfiHlier the Ohio statesman nor the ex-President hftfa had cause yet $o give up hope.

regard to Maryland: Senator Gorman represeats the Democrats patty not only of Maryland but of the United States—that is, if there be any organized Democratic party in Maryland. Yet he is traduced daily by so-called Democrats, aaa his opponents in the Democratic ranks are encouraged to support the Republican .ticket. In a word, "treason, like a deadly blight," has come o'er the councils of the brave" in Maryland, and the Republicans hope to march to the polls next November in the company of a multitude of men professing to be Democrats.
THE Democratic outlook in Maryland is painfully bleak, according to a prominent Democratic politician of that State. "The Democrats seem to have already given up the battle," he said. "Not one in twenty will be heard to indulge in the prediction of party success. In fact, most of them predict the election of the Republican ticket. Mr. Gorman seems to be one of the few who make any show of confidence. He persists in maintaining that the Democratic party will carry the State. What he can find to base his confidence on is somewhat of a mys tery, but he may 'have something up his sleeve' that the public doesn't know about."
THE Ohio Wool Growers' Associa tion held its semi-annual meeting at Columbus on Wednesday. From the address of Judge Lawrence, President of the Association, we quote these meaty paragraphs:
With some measure of protection under the wool tariff of 1890, sheep increased in the United State's from 43,421,13(5 in 1891, of the value of $108,397,447, and a wool product of 307,000,000 pounds, to 47,273,553 sheep in 1893, of the value of $125,909,204, and a wool product of 348,000,000 pounds. Under the free wool act of August 28, 1894, sheep have declined in number to only 42.294,064 in 1895, with a wool product of about 264,000,000, a decline of 74,000,000 pounds, or as estimated by expert authority, 100.000.000. Wool dropped in price in the Philadelphia
1
standard grade of XX Ohio Washed Merino, from a little over 30 cents in March, 1893, to about 15 cents in March 1895.
Sheep in Ohio, under the tariff of 3S90, increased from 3,594,800 in tlia year, or the value of §8,713,370 to S3,8S7.610. of the value of $10,072,994 in 1S92. But under free wool they declined in number to 3,041,112 in April 1895, of the value of S5,342,0?.l.
THE Indianapolis Journal gives the following information concerning the working of the Pension office at Indianapolis:
From Jan. 1 to Aug. 1 over 3,400 pensioners on the Indianapolis roll had their pensions reduced. The four largest pay rolls are those of the Indianapolis, Columbus, Chicago and Topeka agencies. The last three are larger than the Indianapolis, so that the "reissues" at the four cannot be less than 15,000. There are twelve agencies besides the four named. If in these twelve the average of "reissues" were half as many as in Indiana, there would by 20,000 of them in these agencies, making a total of 35,000. The average reduction on a reissue is $4 per month, so that the Cleveland administration has saved about $140,000 a month by cutting down the pensions of 35,000 indigent and feeble old men. If Thomas laggart. should be elected Mayor it would be hailed by the Demcjiatic press as an* approval of the Cleveland administration.
