SrrposE, for the sake of accuracy, wo all pay "Board of State Charities," as ' the latf- does, instead of "State Board of Charities." Cubing the last three months the advertised letter list in this city has decreased 50 per cent. That tells a story of postal improvement that everybody can understand. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch contributes its mite towards the petting together of the Democratic party thus: "If Chairman Brice is a Democrat ho is a very recent acquisition from the Republican ranks, and his prominence as a Democrat is due entirely to his bar'l and his recent exploits as greaser of the machine." So great was the success of the centennial celebration in New York that the papers of that city are agitating the holding of a World's Fair there in 1892, the.four hundredth anniversary of the landing of Columbus. If there is to bo a World's fair iu America then or at any. time. New York is the place, unless Indianapolis 6hould demand it and provide for it. The well meant effort of some members of the Board of State Charities to bring about an adjustment of tho coalminers' strike has not succeeded. Reporters were excluded from tho confer- , ence at Brazil and tho proceedings aro enveloped in some mystery, but enough is known to show that the operators and miners are no nearer together now than they wero before the mission was undertaken. Both sides stand firmly on thoir f onuer position, tho operators declining to pay more than 70 and 75 cents and tho , miners refusing to accept that price. Hon. William Walter Phelps returned from Germany with the Samoan treaty in his pocket, and will go 'back with a commission as minister to Germany. This is fitting and appropriate. Mr. Phelps is onoof the brightest men in public life, a thorough gentleman and an American of Americans. It is probable he would rather represent the State of New Jersey in the United States Sen ate than to represent tho United States at Berlin, but this honor comes to him go naturally and appropriately that probably he will not decline it. Rev. A. J. Kynett, D. D., secretary of the Methodist Church Extension So ciety, who lives in Philadelphia and is president of the Union Prohibitory League, composed of about 50,000 voters, in an address issued since the late elec tion says that the purpose of tho league for their future work will be "to stand firm for existing restrictions, making them more restrictive as occasion shall require, and pushing forward for pro hibition until the saloon shall disappear and no party political interest will be allowed to stand in the way pf this great movement." The league is composed of voters from all political parties. The New York Star says that President Harrison is not keeping his promises in enforcing the civil-service law. There may be some grounds for this allegation, but the Star should remember that ho cannot give his personal at-' tention to every case, and that the postmaster at Milwaukee has so short a time to live that the Civil-service Commission thought it hardly worth While" to deal roughly with him. But if the clemency which would let the dying die in peace is to be thus abolished, the Jonrnal would urge the President to do his duty, even if it shortened the official lives of such worthies only one day. A tketty incident has just occurred in New York in the presentation of a gold medal to each one of . 4,000 publicschool boys who marched in the late centennial parade. The medals were the gift of the organized societies of New York city, over 100 being represented. Tho school authorities took part in tho presentation, and the Mayor, who was unablo to be present, sent a letter. The medals were of beautiful workmanship, and with appropriate inscriptions made a valuable historic souvenir. The boys entered into the sport of tho occasion with as much earnestness and enthusiasm as the elders. The public should understand that tho man Ambrose Hamlin, whom the twocent organ of Democratic reform is howling about, was appointed during tho last administration. The postoffice record shows ho was appointed March 17, 1&S9, two weeks before Postmaster Wallace came into office. The latter found Hamlin on duty when he came in. Hamlin was first in the line of promotion, and when a vacancy occurred in the regular letter-carrier list Postmaster Wallace promoted him without knowing of tlie flaw in his character and record. It

is not charged that Postmaster Jones

knew of it when he appointed Hamlin, but he had the same means of knowing, and could have known it as easily as Postmaster Wallace, who found the young man already in office. Ho had passed the civil-service examination and was appointed under that law. If tho appointment was an improper or unfit one, the responsibility is with the law and with Postmaster Wallace's predecessor. The two-cent organ of Demo cratic reform is lying about this matter, as it does about everything else. - DEMOCRATS AND PROHIBITIONISTS. Tho New YoTk World, after quoting largely from several Prohibition parA,y leaders, concludes that tho Prohibition party is not dead yet, and that "the Republican, managers will discover that fact in tho elections," and it then pats them on the back and says: "Prohibitionists aro like the honest portion of the old Anti-slavery party. They are in the cause not for profit nor political pre ferment, but for justice, right and hu manity." Well, yes; they are very much alike, and will become more and more so. . "The honest portion of the old Anti-slavery party," after testing the party scheme for twenty years, and find ing that slavery grew more and more arrogant, incontinently abandoned their party organization and their demand for abolition; or ' nothing, . and joined the Republican party on a platform; which said not a word about abolishing slavery, but, on the contrary,, recognized its right to exist, but declared that it must be put under control and bo subject to law. The result was that in less than a decade there was not a slave in America. So now, from tho utterances of "tho honest portion of the Prohibition party" it 6eems probable that they will align themselves in the several States with those who demand only that the traffic be put under proper control, tho several States differing possibly as to detail. No doubt the World would bo happy to see the continuance of the Prohibition party. It guarantees tho re-election of Governor Hill, a consummation much to be desired by the saloon element of New York; but the Prohibitionists being in the cause, "not for profit, nor political preferment, but for justice, right and humanity," propose to work where their labors will best promote these ends, and they have discovered that the re-election of Governor Hill is not likely to tend to that end, and "tho Republican managers will discover that fact in the elections." ' A CASE OF POSSIBLE BEPENTANCE. Are we to understand the Springfield (Mass.) Republican as feeling its way back to the Republican camp! If it wants to come back, and will bo content with a servant's place, it shall bo treated Veil, but we propose no barbecue of any fatted calf on its account. The trouble with tho Republican in its palmy days was that it wanted to bo boss or nothing. Republicans tolerate no bossism. We bo all brethren, fellow-servants; each independent, yet working in harmony; each ready to make concessions, if need be, of individual opinions for the public good,, yet every ono ready to serve a common cause, the cause of our common country, which means the cause of the Republican party. The Republican must have felt lonesome very frequently the last four years or so. There are not enough respectable mugwump papers to constitute a jolly circle, and the Democratic papers have persistently refused to extend th6 right hand of fellowship to their mugwump allies. A few days ago the Republican had a very respectful allusion to passing political events. It rather complimented some late executive decisions on the tariff, and seamed to compliment Gen. T. M. Browne's suggestion to make the administrative and the internal revenue meas ures separate measures, suggesting that what with the abolishing of the internal revenue, the refunding of the direct tax, the passage of the Blair bill, the increase of pension appropriations, and the present construction of tho tariff on somo points, the surplus may be reduced to a safe figure. This shows a gleam of returning reason. Come back, dear Republican; be ono of us, take with the rest of us a servant's place, and we will forgive you all and forget as much as possible. THE WAY TO END STRIKES. Prior to 1870 there were no miners' strikes in Indiana. Such a thing had never been heard of. Going a few years further back, say from 1850 to 1800, under Democratic rule, and with a low tariff there were no labor disturbances of any kind in tho State. The reason was there wero no manufacturing indus tries tQ speak of. We raised somo hogs and corn, cut a few hoop-poles and rolled up Democratic majorities. Those were tho principal industries in the good old Democratic tariff-for-revenue-only times. No miners' strikes in those days. It was not the policy of the Democratic party to encourage strikes, and for that purpose it discouraged manufactures. The growth of manufactures would cre ate competition in tho labor market, increase wages and cause a degree of commercial activity not in harmony with Democratic ideas. Manufactories roquire fuel; this would lead to the opening and working of coal mines, and eventually to strike. The way to; prevent miners' strikes was to discourage mining, and the way to do this was to prevent the growth of manufacturing, which would cause a demand and market for coal. This was the fine old Dem ocratic idea. This policy succeeded so well that in 1800 the total number of manufacturing establishments in the United States was only 140,183. In 18S0 the number had increased to 253,852. In 1SG0 Indiana had, all told, 5,323 manu facturing establishments, while in 18S0 she had 11,108. In twenty years of Re publican ride and protection to American industry tho number of manufacturing establishments in the United States aud tho State of Indiana increased more than during the entire previous history of tho government. This increase of manu facturing caused an enormous demand for coal, and this in turn gave rise to tho coal-mining industry. Practically, that

did not exist under tho Democratic regime. Even as late as 1870 Indiana produced only 437,870 tons of coal. In 1880 her product had increased to 1,449,496 tons; in 1882 to 1,97G,470 tons; in 1883 to 2,500,000; in 18SG to 3,000,000. This enormous growth of the mining interest in Indiana was due to a demand for coal caused by manufacturing and other enterprises, the direct result of the Republican policy of encouraging and protecting American industries. It never could have occurred under Democratic ' rule and a free-trade policy, and the best proof in tho world is that it never did. It is due the Democratic party to say that before a coal mine was opened in Indiana we never had a

miners' strike. And we honestly believe that if the Democratic policy of free trade could be established and adhered to a few years we should hear no more of miners' strikes. American manufacturing would die out, and with it the demand and market for coal. There would be, measurably at least, a return to tho former Democratic condi tion when there was very little coalmining and very few strikes. Peoplo who believe in that method of doing away with strikes and labor troubles should stand in with tho free-trade Democracy. The efficacy of the remedy has been demonstrated. Commenting on one of ex-President Cleveland's recent letters, the New York Sun says: - Less than ten years ago Mr. Cleveland fell into politics. Last year ho was fished out and thrown into the soup, but he still thinks he is in politics. In this conception he is by no means alone. There are still other detached members of the Cleveland movement who think that the soup is still a grand sphere for political ambition. One' sometimes sees a little child dragging around a doll headless, armless, legless and almost trunkless. But it was a doll once, and to the little child it is a doll always. The fond and foolish Democrats who still insist that Mr. Cleveland is a political leader represent the same type of infantile confidence. There is one phase of the prohibition question that the advocates of constitutional prohibition ought by this time to recognize. That is that a large majority of the people of this country do not believe in cumbering their State constitutions with legislative enactments or police regulations. An organic law should deal exclusively with general principles, and as little as possible with specific enactments. A prohibitory law, or any other law on this subject is simply a police regulation, touching a matter that should always bo kept where the people can control it as they see fit. Whatever maybe thought of prohibition, the Constitution is no place lor it. The nomination of Governor Foraker for a third term is rather an unusual event in politics. In some States, including Indiana, it could not happen by reason of constitutional enactment against a second term, but our Ohio neighbors are not restricted in that way. Governor Foraker?s renomination for a third term is more an exceptional honor becauso thcro wero sovcral oilier : can (11 dates in the field, any ono of whom would have made a good race and a good Governor. There is a good deal of latent anti-third term feeling among the people, and while there is no particular reason for it in this case, it may crop out in the campaign. The conditions of two-cent journalism seem to involve a great deal of dirty work. A few days ago the Indianapolis Sentinel printed the following: A SLAP AT THE JOURNAL. Lafayette Courier (Rep.) Malfeasance in office 1 rapidly Increasing; and whenever a rascal Is detected in betraying a trust the public has reposed in him, he ought to be exposed and punished without regard lor political considerations. It is the bounden duty of the press to expose and denounce corruption in high places, and it hen a newspaper party predirections are so strong that it mat alicays be replied upon to conceal, misrepresent and apologise for the misdeeds of the rascals of its political faith, it becomes a common enemy, worse than the original sinners. Tho head-lino and italics are the Sentinel's own. The Lafayette Courier is one of the brightest Republican papers in the State, and an inveterate foe of Democratic Bourbonism and corruption. The article in the Courier from which the Sentinel made a garbled extract is given entire below, with the Courier's caption, which wo commend to the Sentinel: TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH. The Indianapolis Sentinel observes that "Indianapolis is perhaps not the only city that can Joint to two Republicans in office who are uner indictment for fraud; but it is one of them." We are not disposed to quarrel with the Sentinel for publishing the sins of derelict Republican official?, but it inieht have gone further and noted that there is also in Indianapolis a Democratio member of the City Council who was but recently released from a terra of service In the northern Eenitentiary; that the office of county clerk is eiDg tilled by appointment, the Democrat who waR elected to that position having stolen everything he could lay his hands upon and fled to Canada; that the notorious election crook known as Bill Lernhamer, fresh and fragrant from Jrison stripes, has returned and baen received ntofuU fellowship by the Democratic party; that the Insane Asylum has passed to new management because public sentiment forced a change from tho corrupt gang that made the name of tho institution synonymous with all that is unclean and dishonorable; that one of the Democratic asylum trustees Is now under Indictment for embezzlement; that the Democratio janitors and subalterns of the new State-house. under the guise of drawing salaries for neces sary work performed, are plundering the public most scandalously; that It is freely charred and generaUy believed and not denied that the interior of -the Marion County Court-house, ruled by "Gooso" Eden, is fairly reeking with official corruption for which the Democratic party is responsible. The Sentinel should tell the whole truthwhen it startsouttonoiauppolltical wrong doings. It is hardly proper to be forever confess Ing sin. for the other f e llo w, and constantly trying toconcealourown. Malfeasance in office is rapidly increasing, and whenever a rascal is detected in betraying a trust the publio has reposed in him. he oucht to be exposed and punished without re gard for political considerations. It is the bounden duty of the press to expose and denounce corruption in nl;rh places, and when a newspaper'sparty predilections are so strong that it may always be relied upon to conceal, misrepresent and aiKjlotrize for the mi.decd9 of the racal of its political faith, it becomes a com mon nemy, worse than the original sinners. Comment is unnecessary. Even two-cent Democratic journalittn. could hardly de 6cend lower. Ocean steamers aro reporting an unusual number of icebergs in their track, and some vessels already disabled by 'them. May this not have something to do with the unusually low temperature which has prevailed lately! ABOUT MAPLE AND THINGS. Ex-Senator Stephen W. Dorsey is seri ou3ly ill in New York. Thomas Nast, the cartoonist, has just concluded a four years arrangement . with the publishers oi lime. Mr. Geouge Meredith is now sixty-four years old, and lives amid the restful quiet of the Surrey hills, but works as hard as ever, -pending seven or eight hours daily at his desk. Maktin Irons, who at the time of the J strike on the Gould lines five years ago was

too arrogant to grant General Manager Hoxie an interview, now earns a scanty living from a little fruit stand iu St. Louis. Jacques Meyer, the bucket-shop broker of Paris, has been sentenced to one year's imprisonment and fined $1,000. Christine Nilsson was let in for nearly $30,000, and Mile. Jane Hading also for a considerable amount. It is announced that Air. Thomas Ewing Sherman, S. J., 6on of General William T. Sherman, who is finishing his theological studies at Woodstock, Md., willbe ordained a priest by Archbishop Kyan in tho chapel of tho Philadelphia Cathedral on Sunday morning, July 7. A patient gentleman, who collects statistics, brings out to-day some figures to help the cause of peace. It seems that from to 1877 war killed 1.043,000 people, aud what is still more wonderful, tho killing of each man cost more than 2,000. The total cost was 2,413,000,000; so that peace has its good points from an economical side. The remains of Catherine Sevier, the wife of Tennessee's great Governor, lio in a moss-grown corner of an abandoned graveyard at Russellville, Ala. Now that the bones of her distinguished husband have been laid beneath tho monument erected to his honor, it is proposed to open tho neglected grave of his wife and place her remains beside those of her husband. Edward Payson Weston may bo seen any day moiling away with paper and pencil at the New York Press Club just as if he had never made fame and a living with his feet instead of his hands. He could hardly walk 100 miles in twenty-four hours now, though his step is 6tillhabitnally quick. His hair is grizzled, his mustache heavy, and his eyes never without glasses. There is no more constant attendant at

the races than Gen. Roger A. Pryor. With his cold, piercing black eyes, long black locks and giant figure, and a pair of fieldglasses thrown over his shoulders, lie al ways attracts attention. The ex-Southern fire-eater does not hesitate to visit the bettintr stands. Indeed, he is a full -fled tred racing man, as are so many other South Carolinians. Gen. Don Carlos Buell, whose name is now rarely seen in print, is living a retired lifo in the little village of Airdrie, in McLean county, Kentucky. Here the old soldier passes a contented existence in a Deautif in home on tho blutls of Green river. From the window of his library he can see for miles up and down the river and over tho territory beyond. He probably imagines sometimes that he can see liragg s army marching into Kentucky. Gen. Neal Dow has an invalid daughter in Nashua, N. II., who may certainly be regarded as a wonderful woman. The lady has not been"able to move from her chair for years, but she has been an indefatigable student and has mastered the French, German, Spanish, Russian and Greek languages. She recently performed the feat of repeating a long passage from her Greek testament, verbatim, from memory, a month after she had read it. Miss Dow loses sight of her misfortunes in her love of study.

A "postal tube'7 to connect Dover with Calais, over the English Channel, is being discussed in England. The plan is to suspend two tubes of about a yard each in di ameter by means of steel cables across the channel, forty yards above tho level of the sea. 1 he steel cables will be fixed to pillars at distances of about 800 vards. and in each tube a little railway will run with cars capable of carrying 4o0 pounds m ..weight.

The public cares very little about the loaves and fishes so long as its business is well done, but it has a quick eve for mcou' sistency.and it does not regard with favor the practiceofputtingoutan efficient public officer whose tenure is fixed by law, for the sole reason that somebody else wants tho place.

While it is not true that there is any such scarcity of clergymen as superficial zealots are wont to affirm, it is true that that there never was a time in Christian history when able, nntrammeled and con secrated young men, well trained for the work of the gospel i ministry, wero more needed or more called for than to-day. But be who is to succeed must be a man of men as well as a man of books. Boston Advertiser. President Harrison has shown himself to be in no senso a spoilsman, and it is not to be honestly said that he has failed in anv of his pledges regarding changes in the civil service. He has made his removals for cause in the comparative few instances where removals have been made, and his appointments have been made with a care "that has not always distinguished the action of some of his predecessors. Philadelphia Inquirer. With three times as much earning capacitj. and with the general cheapening of the necessaries of life which has taken placo in that period, the lot of the American workingman is certainly much better now than one hundred years ago. The man who proclaims that the lot of tho workingman is growing harder and more hopeless each year will be tho hardest worked man in the universe if he undertakes to prove his claim .by ligures that don't lie. Philadelphia Times. With Cleveland as an exponent of civilservice reform, Brice to storm against plutocracy, and Campbell to wind the changes ou free trade aud monopolies,-it is difficult to understand why the Democrats should tremble themselves about such tritles as principles, and very easy to see why they launch such philippics at the administration. A President and a party that attach the slightest importance to consistency must appear to them to be atUicted with a mild form of lunacy. Baltimore American .

THE PLUM FALLS TO FORAKER

Ohio Republicans Again Choose Ilim as their Candidate for Governor. He Is Enthusiastically Nominated on the Sec ond Ballot, all Factions Indorsing the Selection Eesu It of the Other Contests. Columbus, O., June 26. The .Ohio Ke publican convention was called to order at 10:10 a. m promptly, with much confusion prevailing over an effort to get tho dele gates seated. The first demonstration of the morning was when Major McKinley entered the halL It was most generousAfter a formal prayer the Harrison and Morton Glee Club, which did excellent service in the last campaign, sang, making some fine hits on the several candidates before the convention. The enthusiastic delegates kept the club singing until they wero exhausted. Tho report of the committee on creden tials was that there were no contests. The report on rules and order of business confined nominating speeches to five minutes and seconds to three minutes: that a ma jority of all the votes should be required to nominate, and on a call there should be no changes till the call of comities was completed. The temporary organization of the convention was made permanent, and Chairman Cooper .returned brief thanks for the honor. '- - v Gen. C. H. Grosvenor. chairman' of the committee on resolutions, read-' the report as published yesterday. The report was signed by the whole committee.. A no piair lorni was unanimously aaoptea.Manv of the delegates raised, objections over the fact that their seats had been aporoDriatcd bv outsiders. A half hour was consumed in trying to clear the seats, but the effort failed, and the work of the con vention proceeded. . : Nominations being in order. Senator Kerr, of Mansfield, took the stage and offered the name of E. L. Lampson, of Ashtabula, in an eloquent speech. Col. Kobert aevin, of juayton, captured tho convention in a strong speech, placing the name of Hon. E. L. Morey. His speech was a scathing arraignment of tho De mocracy of the Miami valley, and eulogistic of his candidate. B. H. Cox. of Hamilton, created some what of a sensation in the convention by seconding the nomination of Gen. Kobert P. Kennedy. He claimed that a good per cent, of the delegates from the county were for Kennedy, and that he was tho strongest man before the people. He was hooted and discouraged by the other members of the delegation, all of whom have quietly posed as the special advocates of the renomination of Governor Foraker. Congressman McKinley received an ova tion as he came to the stage to present the name of Gen. Asa Jones. The names of Judge O'Neil, of Lebanon: Captain Vance, of Hancock, and General Dawes, of Marietta, completed the list of regular candidates for the nominations. Gen. C. H. Grosvenor offered the name of Dawes in a pointed speech. The friends of Governor I oraker determined not to for mally present the name of their candidate, but to vote for him when the roll was called. A call of the roll on the nomination for Governor was ordered, and the convention found itself in great confusion. Adams county, the first on the list, refused to cast her vote until the delegates were furnished seats in the convention. All were accommodated but one, and ho refused to vote. Tho k oraker sentiment in the convention, as the call proceeded, was strong and enthusiastic. The first vote resulted: Foraker 1 207 Vance 45 Nett 37 Gibson L'3 General Bushnell.. 1 Total 827 Kennedy 127 Dawes 96 Morris..... 47 Jones 00 O'Neal 50 Lampson. 89 At the conclusion of the ballot an effort was made to take a recess, but this was howled down by the Foraker delegates, and a second ballot was ordered. Kennedy had quite a number of accessions, and his friends became enthusiastic before the call was half through. It was known before the call was finished that Foraker had gained probably less than thirty over tho first ballot. While the additions were being made, Adams county asked to change her vote, and cast the whole number (seven) for 1 oraker. 1 he chair ruled that no changes could be made until the additions had been made, and then changes would be allowed. This was tho point at which the friends of Foraker had set to do the work. The delegates were all on their feet, and tho opposition to Foraker joined in the din, and tried to stem the tide. 1 he changes were fully begun, when Adani Ross, Lucas and others came U Foraker's side. The machinery of the convention was so arranged that the secretary only recognized the counties which wished to change to t oraker. Everything was going in a swimming manner lor roraicer, when uoiumuiana county secured recognition, and cast fifteen votes for Kennedy. This brought a new element of confusion into the convention, and it was a contest as to which could make the more noise. The chair refused to proceed with business until order had been restored. I Ins being partially se cured, the changes again moved in the di rection of t oraker. Hamilton, Cuyahoga. Lucas. Montgomery. Ashtabula and other large counties changed their votes to For aker solid, lhe delegations which desired to change rushed in the direction of tho stage, and as nothing could bo heard, seveial delegations' votes were handed up on pa per. After it became apparent that Foraker had a majority of the votes at the convention, the friends of several of the other candidates triel to make motions to make the nomination by acclamation and unanimous. The chair held this could not be done till all the counties changed which desired to do o. Motions were made on behalf of Morey, Jones, O'Neil and other candidates, to make the nomination of Foraker by acclamation, and themselves withdrawing from the fight. The chairman, securing partial order, asked if it was the desire of all the other candidates that Foraker should be declared the nominee by acclamation. Thia niek with a mixed chorus of "ys" and "no," giving evidence of considerable feeling. Finally about all the candidates were withdrawn, and on motions by Congressmen,, McKinley, Grosvenor, Thompson and others, who were mixed up in the rush of persons seeking recognition, Mr. FoTaker was declared the nominee of the convention amid the greatest confusion. : ' , V : Tho chair announced he-was unable to tell exactly how many votes the Governor had received, but it was about fiOO." The band struck up "Rally Round the Flag," aud the convention joined iu a general jollification which lasted for some time. .. General Grosvenor, Major McKiuley; and Mayor Gardner of Cleveland, were apr pointed a committee to bring Foraker be fore tho convention. After a considerable wait by tho convention the committee presented Governor Foraker amid wild demonstrations. When quiet was restored,- Gov. Foraker proceeded to speak inacareful and measured tone. He said that the Repub-. licansof the State had again nominated, him for Governor, and he was there to accept the trust. It was, he said, not of his own seekirrg. In fact, his plans and aspirations were all in another direction. A party which had heaped honors upon him, lie felt, regardless of his wishes, had the riflht to call him to dutv in any capacity and at anytime. He belie vedv,ic understood what this call to duty meant. It meant that he was to bo the candidato, for Governor, and that alone. This last ex- , pressaon was received with much favor. The Governor snid he thought he knew what the nomination meant, as ho had been there and understood something about the work. The remainder of tho speech was devoted to State and national questions. After Governor Foraker had completed his speech, there were loud calls for McKinley Rind General Grosvenor. The latter came "to the front first, and pledged himself to the support of tho ticket, aud said it was the ticket of the Republicans. It was tho duty of all to take hold and win a victory in November. Major McKinley was still more brief in bis lvmarks, but urged upon all their duty and the support of the ticket. The naiiitt of E. L. Lampson, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and who had mado the caaviws for Governor, was placed iu nomination for Lientenaut-goveruor by Seuator Kerr, of Richland county. There was an evident desire in tho convention that no other name be ottered, as it was pretty gcncrallyjundcrtood. and had been

ro represented, that tho Governor preferred Lampson for a rnuning mate. S. A. Conrad, of Stark, wpa also offered as a candidate. Private J. M. DalzelL of Noble county, was presented for the honor, but before the call of the rpll for the ballot had progressed far, the names of Dalzell and Conrad were withdrawn and Lampson was nominated by acclamation. The only other contest in tho convention was that for Treasurer of State, and tho following names were presented: John C. Brown, of Jeflcrson: John C. Sheffield, of Huron: Thomas B. Harvey, of Ashland, and W. T. Cope, of Columbiana. The vote resulted: Brown, 421; Sheffield, 142: Harvey, 0$; Cope, 105. Brown was declared the nominee of the convention. -It was generally expected that in. case Foraker was nominated the other candidates for the lesser offices would stand successful muster. The ticket was completed by tho following nominations: Urban H. Hester, of Van Wert, for Clerk of tho Su-' preme Court: D. K. Watson, of Franklin, for Attorney-general; F. J. Dickman. of Cuyahoga, forjudge of the Supreme Court, and William Hahan, of Richland, for member of the Board of Public Works. John Hancock, of Ross county, who is serving an unexpired term in the office of School Commissioner, was nominated for the short and full term. It was nearly 4 o'clock before the convention concluded the business, having been in - continuous session from 10 a.- m. A large number of the delegates had left the city as soon as the head of the tteket was disposed of, and the balance of the work claimed but little interest. A 'vote of thanks was tendered the chairman and secretary of the convention. Abont all the defeated candidates and delegates left tho city on the late trains. A majority of the Republicans neem'well satished with the day's work, and where formerly some feeling existed there wero expressions that they would go in to win. : Governor Foraker has received telegrams of congratulation from all parts of tho country. No other Ohio man has everbeen given four, or even three consecutive sominations for Governor, and his grasp on the people of the State is apparently stronger than ever. INDIANA MUSIC-TEACnERS. '

Whittier, of tho Matinee Mnsicale, gave a recital, and created a tine impression. It was preceded by a paper, "Does Music as Now Taught iu Our I'ublic Schools Make Independent Readers?" by J. H.

The next meeting will be held in Muncie. in June, 1890, and Mr. Max Leckner, of Indianapolis, will probably bo president. A TIMID JAILER'S WIFE. A Kentucky Mob Tafces an Alleged Murderer from Jail and Drags Him Away to His Doom. Louisville, June 20. A mob went to the jail at Shephardsville, Bullitt county, at 1 o'clock this morning. They demanded of Jailer Bowman tho surrender of Thomas Mitchell and Charles Ardell, who were con- . fined there, charged with the murder of a pedler named Joseph Lavine. Mr. Bowman fused to surrender the men, and took his .and in front of the door with - a shotguu, declaring he would kill the first man who tried to pass. Mrs. Bowman, hearing tho threats and feariug her husband would bo killed, ran forward and gave them the ke3's, begging Mr. Bowman not to provoke them. Tho loaders then unlocked the doors and went to the cell where the prisoners wcr confined. The jailer followed, begging at least to spare Mitchell, who ho believed was innocent. They heeded his entreaties, telling Mitchell he might thank Mr. Bowman for his life, and binding Ardell took him to the woods, a mile and a half away, where they hanged him. The men all wortr inasks. The crime with which themen are charged was a most brutal one. La vino had stopped at a bouse near Shephardsville. last Thursday, and was showing his goods, when two tramps came up and asked for something to eat. They remained a few minutes, and when they left they secreted themselves by the roadside a short distance away. When, Lavine came up they demanded his money, and upon his refusal shot him down in broad daylight and robbed him. The men were seen running away. Lavine, who was a Pole, was brought to his home in this city, and died last Sunday. On Saturday Mitchell and Ardell were arrested, and Ardell was identilied as one of the tramps. The identification of Mitchell was not positive. Novel Situation Through a Jury's Mistake. Kansas Citv, June 2C Judge Henry today heard arguments in the habeas corpus proceedings brought by John Day. Day was arrested last week on th charge of assaulting Marj- Danner. The case was called to triai in Justice Holt's court and a jury returned the following verdict: "We, ' the jury, find the plaintifl guilty aud assess his lino at $10." This was fining the State of Missouri $10, for the State was the plaintiff. Justice Holt, in order to remedy this mistake, substituted the word defendant for plaintiff in entering up tho judgment, aud Day was sent to iatl. Judge Henry decided to-day that, .although 'Justice Holt was radically in error in changing this judgment, the court could not discharge the prisoner on a habeas corpus. uay is now a man w no was accused anu acquitted, but who was sent to jail. As tlere is no judgment against Day he cannot appeal for anything, and must serve out his sentence. m Rates to the O. A. It. KncampmenU , Chicago, June 20.
