Ono Sort of Neighbor.

•Good Cheer. There are emergencies when it seems necessary to trouble a heighbor to lend the lacking convenience, but such occasions should be aS rare as good management can make them. A loose habit of forgetting to keep the kitchen supplied favors the practice of running next door or across the street to borrow a cup of sugar, an ounce of tea,.4fcloaf of brefei, a cake of soap, of whatever the need may be; but such » practice stamps the mistress of the house as a slovenly, improvident housekeeper, whose careless ways stand in strenuous need of reform. Perhaps it is only thoughtlessness in many cases that allows such ill-management and tlw fault when discovered will be reformed. A kitchen slate hung conspicuously on the wall, with pencil attached will be a great factor in working a reform. Let the house keeper write down each article as its want is discovered, and let her also put down such things as she finds herself nearly out of, not waiting to actually see the bottom of the barrel or box before making a note of their emptiness. Then teach whoevei it is who visits the store to always study the slate before going out. In this way, without much trouble to any one, the foolish system of running out to borrow will soon pass out of existence, and the neighbors with whom the friendly exchanges have been made will in time earn to feel backward about borrowing from those who never borrow from them. _ —j -

Emauopation Celebration.

Five thousand colored people attended an Emancipation celebration at Shelbyville, Ind.-, on the 2d. Ex-Senator B. K. Brtice delivered the principal address. He first spoke of the colored race when in slavery end (ben of their emancipation. To the immortal Lincoln who struck the chains from their bodies and made them citisens, he paid an eloquent tribute. Turning to his people in the audience lie advised them to secure homes for themselves, even if they were such as the stars of heaven would glitter through the cracks in the roof; also to educate their children, as they-had a favorable opportunity under the free-school system of Indiana. Technically speaking, the colored people had all the rights of other citizens of the Republic, but in fact they were in many instances shamefully mistreated and slighted. The deplorable condition of the colored peeple in the South was feelingly referred to and a sad picture presented of the want of educational facilities for the generations coming on. He told the colored people to turn to the future with brave hearts and willing hands, follow the teachings of Christianity and embrace every opportunity for improvement

Another Stock Yards Fire.

A fire in Armour’s new beef house at the ttucago 1 stock yards, Wednesday, caused a loss of $300,000. Insurance $195,000. The building was a cheap affair but covered nearly an entire square. The basement contained about 25,000 hides. On the first floor were between 3,000 and 4,000 dressed cattle and over a thousand undressed, while on the second floor were 500 dressed sheep and about 100 hogs. U

THE FUTURE EXISTENCE

What Shall OWr Employment Be? Newer and Parer Principle* May Come by Ceavercloa, but Man'* CbaracXArUlic* Follow Him Beyond the Grave. Rev. Dr. Talmage preached at “The Hamptons” last Sunday. Subject “Employments in Heaven.” Text: Ezekiel i., 1. He said: The question is often silently asked, though perhaps neveraudibly propounded: “What are our departed Christian friends doing now?” The question is more easily answered than you might, perhaps, suppoee. Though there has come no recent intelligence from the heavenly city, and we seem dependent upon the story of eighteen centuries ago, still I think we may from strongest inference decide what are the present occupations of our transferred kinsfold, After God has made a nature He never eradicates the chief characteristics of its temperament. You never knew a man phlegmatic in temperament to become sanguine in temperament. You never knew a man sanguine in temperament to become phlegmatic in teinpeiament. Conversion plants new principles in the soul, but Paul and John are just as’different from each other after conversion as they were different from each other before conversion. If conversion does not eradicate The prominent characteristics of the temperament, neither will death eradicate them. You have, then,only by a sum in subtraction and a sum in'addition to find what are the employments of your departed friends in the better world. You are to subtract from them all earthly grossnessand add all earthly goodness, and then you are to come to the conclusion that they are doing now in heaven what in their best moments they did on earth. The reakon that so many people never start for heaven is because they could not stand it if they got there if it should turn out to be the rigid and formal place some peoples photograph it. We like to come to church, but we would not want to stay her to next Christmas. We like to hear the Halelujah Chorus, but we would not want to hear it all the time for fifty centuries. It might be on some great occasion it would be possibly comfortable to wear a crown of gold weighing several pounds but it would be an affliction to wear such a crown forever. In other words, we run the description of heaveu into tbe ground, while we make that which was intended as especial and celebrative to be the exclusive employment of the heavenly, You might as well, if asked to describe the habits of American society, describe a Decoration Day, or a Fourth of July, or an autumnal Thanksgiving, as though it were all i afc»4faßie lam not going to speculate in regard to the future world, but I must by inevitable laws of inference and deduction and common sense conclude that in heaven we will be just as different from each other as we are now different, and hence that there will be at least as many different employments in the celestial world as there employments here. Christ is to be the great joy, the great rapture, the great worship of heaven; but will that abolish employment? No more than loves on earthpaternal, filial, fraternal,con jugal love — abolish earthly occupation. In the first place, I remark that all those of our departed Christian friends who on earth foundgreat joy in tbe fine arts are now indulging their tastes in the same direction. On earth they had their gladdest pleasures amid pictures and statuary, and in the study of the laws of light and shade perspective. Have you any idea that affluence of faculty at death collapsed and perished? Why so, when there is more for them to look at, and they have keener appreciation of the beautiful, and they stand amid the very looms where the sunsets and the rainbows and the sprin g mornings are woven? Are you so obtuse as to suppose because the painter drops his easeal and the sculptor his chisel and the engraver his knife, that therefore that taste,which he was enlarging and intensifying for forty or fifty years, is entirely obliterated? These artists, or these' friends of fcrttepn earth worked in coarse meterial, end with imperfect brain and with frail hand. Now they have carried their work into larger liberties and into wider circumference. They are at their old businegfc, yes, but without the fatigues,without the limitations, without, the hinderances of the terrestrial studio.

Do not, therefore, be melancholy among the tapestaies, and the bric-a-brac, and the embroideries, and the water-colors, and the works of art which your departed friends used to admire. Do not say: “lam sorry they had to leave all these things.” Rather say: “I am glad they have gone up to higher artistic opportunity and appreciation.” Our friends who found so much joy in the fine arts on earth are now luxuriating in Louvres and Luxembourgs celesI remark again that all our departed Christian friends who in this world were passionately fond of music are still regaling that taste in the- world celestial. The Bible says so much about the music of heaven that it can not all be figurative. The Bible over and over again speaks of the songs of heaven. If heaven had no songs of its own a vast number of those of earth would have been taken up by the earthly emigrants. Surely the“ Christian at death does not lose bis memory. Then there must be .millions oLsouik in heaved who know •‘Coronation,” and “Antioch,” and “Mount Pisgah,” and “Old Hundred.”. The leader-of the eternal orchestra need only once tap his baton and “a 11 Leaven; will be ready for the halh-lujah.' Can not the soul sing? How often we compliment some exquisite singer by saying: “There was so much soul in her music''’ In heaven it will beail sonl nntil the body after a while comes up in the reeun-setion, and then there will be an additional heaven. Can not the soul hear? If it can hear then it can hear J music. Do not, therefore, let it be in your house-hold when sonig member leaves for heaven, as it is in some households. that you close the piano and uhsting the harp for two years because the fingers that-used to play on them are still. You must remember that they have better instruments of music where ! they are. ■ I You ask me: ■■ Do thev have real harps and real trumpets and real organs o'’ 0 '’ I .do not know. Some iviseacres sav poaii tively there are no such things in heavIdo sot know, but I should not be

surprised if the God who made all the,, mountains and all the hills and all tbe forests and all the mOtals of the earth and all the growths of the universe—l should not be surprised if He could, if He bad a mind to, make a few harpsand trumpets and organs. ?. ' ' .. ■ < . Music was bora in heaven and it will ever have its highest throne in heaven; and I want you to understand that our departed friends who were passionately fond of music here are now at the headquarters of harmony. I think that the grand old chsrch tunes that died when your grandfathers died have gone witn them to heaven. Again, I remark that those of our departed Christian friends who in this world had very strop? military spiritsare now in armies celestial and Out on bloodless battle. There are hundreds of people born soldiers. They can not help it. They belong to rigiments in time of peace. They can not hear a drum or fife without trying to keep step to the music. They are Christians, and when they fight they fight on the right side. Now when these, our Christian friends who had natural and powerful military spirit, entered heaven they entered the celestial army. The door of heaven hardly opens but you hear a military demonstration. Dayid cried out: “The chariots of God are twenty thousand ” Elisha saw the mountains filled with celestial cavalry. St. John said: “The armies which are in heaven followeo him on white horses.” Now, when those who had the military spirit on earth eanctitied entered glory I suppose they right away enlisted in some heavenly campaign; they volunteered right away. There must needs be in heaven soldiers with a soldierly Spirit. There are grand parade days when the king reviews the troops. There must be armed escorts sent out to bring up from earth to heaven those who were more than conquerors. There must be crusades ever being fitted out for some part of God’s dominion—battles, bloodless, groanless, painless. Angels of evil to be fought back. Other rebellious to be conquered. Worlds to be put to the torch. Worlds to be saved. . Worlds to be demolished. Worlds to be sunk. Worlds to be hoisted. Beside that, in our own world there are battles for the right and against the wrong where we must have the heavenly military. That is what keeps us Christian reformers so buoyant. So few good men against so many bad men; so few churches against so many grogshops; so few pure printing-nresees against so many polluted printingpresses; and yet we are buoyant and courageous, because we know that while the armies of evil in the world are larger in numbers than the army of the truth, there are celestial colonies in the air fighting on our side. I have not so-much faith in the army on the ground as I have in the army in the air. O, God! open our eyes that we may see them. The military spirits that went up from earth to join the military spirits before the throne—Joshua, and Caleb, and Gideon, and David, and Samson, and the hundreds of Christian warriors who on earth fought with fleshly arm, and now having gone upon high are coming down the hills of heaven ready to fight among the invisibles Yonder they are—coming, coming. Did you not hear them as they swept by? ° But what are our mathematical friends to do in the next world? They found their joy and their delight in mathematics. There was more poetry for them in Euclid than in John Milton. They were as passionately fond of mathematics as Plato, who wrote over his door: “Let no one enter here who is not acquainted with geometry.” What are they doing now? They are busy with figures, yet. No place in all the universe like heaven for figures. Numbers infinite, distances infinite, calculations infinite. The didactic. Dr. Dick said- he really thought the redeemed in heaven spent some of their time with the higher branches of mathematics. Some of our transferred and transported metaphysicians. What are they doing now? studying the human hind, only under better circumstances than they used to study it. They used to study the mind sheathed in the dull human body. Now the spirit unsheathed—now they are studying the sword outside the scabbard. Have you any doubt about what Sir William Hamilton is doing in heaven, or what Jonathan Edwards is doing in heaven, cr the multitudes on earth who had a passion for metaphysics sanctified by the grace of God? No difficulty in guessing. Metaphysics, glorious metaphysics, everlasting metaphysics.

What are our departed Christian friends who are explofersdoing now? Exploring yet, but with lightning locomotion, with vision microscopic and telescopic at the same time. A continent at a glance. A world in a second. A planetary system in a day. Christian John Frauklin no more in disable “Erebus” dashing toward the North Pole; Christian De Longno moretryingtofreeblockaded “Jeannette” from the'fce;Christian Liyingstone no more amid African malarias trying to make revelation of- a dark continent; but all of them in the twinkling of an eye taking in that which was unapproachable. Mont Blanc scaled without alpenstock. The coral depths of the ocean explored without . a diving bell. The mountains unbarred and opened without Sir Hunphrey Davy’s safety-lamp. What are our departed friends who found their chief joy in study doing now? Studying yet, but instead of a few thouI sand volumes on a few shelves, all the I volumes of the Universe open before r them—geologic, ornitholbgic, eoncholo- ■ eic, botanic, philosophic. : No more iieed of Ley den-jars, or voltaic j piles, or electric batteries, standing as they do face to face with the facts of the universe. M hat are the historians doing now? Studying history yet, but not the history of a few centuries of our planet only, but the history of the eternities—whole millenniums before Xenophon, or Herodotus, or I Moses, or Adam was born. History of i one world, history of all worlds. i W hat are our departed astronomers doing? Studying astronomy yet, but not through the dull lens of earthly observatory, but with one stroke of wing going right out to Jupiter, and Mara, and Mercury, and Saturn, and Orion, and the Pleiades —overtaking and passing swiftest comets in their flight. Herschel died a Christian. Have vou ffny i doubt about what Herschel is doing? ■ Isaac Newton died a Christian. Have you any doubt about what Isaac Newton is doing? Joseph Henry died a Christian. Have you any doubt about what Joseph Henry as doing’ 3 They were in discussion all these astronomers of earth, about

what the aurora boreallis was, and none of them could guess. They know now; they have been out there togge for themaeives. What are our departed Christian chemists doing? Following out their own science, following out and following out forever. Since they died they solved ten thousand questions which once puzzled them in the earthly laboratory. But w hat are our friends who found their chief joy in conversation and inl sociality doing now? In brighter conversation there and in grander sociality. What a place to visit in, where your next door neighbors are kings and queens. You, yourselves, kingly and queenly. If they want to know more particularly about the first Paradise, they have only to go over and ask Adam. If they want to know how the sun and the moon baited, they have only to go over and ask Joshua. If they want to know how the storm pelted I Sodom, they have only to go over and I ask Lot. If they want to know more I about the arrogance of Haman, they have only to go over and ask Mordecai. If they want to know how tbe Red Sea boiled when it was cloven they have only to go over and ask Moses. If thev want to know the particulars about the Bethlehem advent, they have only to go over and ask the serenading angels who stood that Christmas night in the balconies-of crystal. If they want to know more of the crucifiction, they have only to go over and ask those who were personal spectators while the mountains crouched and the heavens got black in the face at the spectacle. If they want to know more about the sufferings of the Scotch Covenanters, they have only to go over and ask Andrew Melville. If they want to know more about the old time revivals, they have only to go over and ask Whitefield, and Wesley, and Livingston, and Fletcher, and Nettleton, and Finney. Oh, what a place to visit in! If eternity were one minute shorter it would not be long enough for such sociality. Think of our friends who in this world were passionately fond of flowers turned into Paradise. Think of our friends who were very fond of raising supurb fruit turned into the orchard where each tree has twelve kinds of fruit at once, and bearing the fruit all the year round! Wfiat are our departed Christian friends doing in heaven, those who on earth found their chief joy in the Gospel ministry? They are visiting there old congregations. Most of those ministers have got their people around them already. When I get to heaven—as by the grace of God lam destined to go to that place —I will come and see you all. Yea, I will come to all the people to whom I have administered in the Gospel, and to the millions of souls to whom through the kindness of the printingpress lam permitted to preach every week in thia land and in other lands—leters coming from New Zealand and Australia and uttermost parts of the earth, as well as from near stations, teilins me of the souls I have helped— I will visit them all. I give them fair notice. Our departed friends of the ministry are engaged in that delectable enterfainment now. But what are our departed Christian friends who in all departments of usefulness were busy, finding their chief joy in doing good—what are they doing now? Going right on with the work. John Howard visiting the dungeons; the dead women of Northern and Southern battle-fields still abroad looking for the wounded; George Peabody still watching the poor; Thomas Clarkson still looking after the enslaved — all of those who did good on earth busier since death than before. The tombstone is not the terminus but the starting post. . What are our departed Christian friends who found their chief joy in studying God doing now? Studying God yet. No need of revelation now, for unblanched they are face to face. Now they can handle the omnipitant thunderbolts just as a child handles the sword of a father come back from victorious battle.

They have no sin, nor fear consequentiy. Studying Christ, not through a revelation, save revelation of the scars, that deep lettering.which brings it all up quicK enough. Studying the Christ of the Bethlehem caravansary, the Christ of the awful massacre, with its hemorrhage of the head and hand and foot and side —the Christ of the shattered mausoleum—Christ of the sacrifice, the star, the sun, the man, the God, the God-man, tbe man-God. But hark! the bell of the cathedral rings—the cathedral-bell of heaven. What is the matter now? There is going to be a great meeting in the temple. Worshipers all coming through the aisles. Make room for the Conqueror. Christ standing in the temple. All heaven gathering around Him. Those who Loved the beaut if uL come to look at the Rose of Sharon. Those who loved’music come to hear His voice. Those who were mathematicians come to count the years of His reign. All different and different forever in many respects, yet all alike in admiration for Christ, end all alike in the doxology: “Unto Him who washed us from our sins in His own blood, and made us kings and priests unto God, to Him be glory in the Church throughout all ages, world without endl” Amen!

RAILWAY COLLISION.

Probably Eighteen or Twenty Men Killed on the Chicago A Alton at Hopedale, Ill.—Twelve Men In jured. A freight and a construction train on the Chicago & Alton R. R. collided on a bridge at ’ Hopedale, 111., Wednesday afternoon. The result was a tenific crash, delaying trains fifteen hours, and causing the loss of several fives. Ten dead bodies were taken from the wreck the same evening, and eight men were ..unaccounted for. . The dead list may be swelled to twenty-two by the death of those supposed to be fatally injured. Twelve men were more or less injured. Responsibility for the accident is. not definitely settled., ‘ The Usual Story. R. P. Clement, President of the Citizen’s Savings Bank, of Leavenworth, Kansas, used the funds of depositors for margin speculation. The bank,therefore, closed Wednesday. Clement has left for parts unknown? He lost upwards of $50,000. “ -- - - ; ■ - : . -

THEY COULD NOT AGREE.

The Election Conspiracy Cases at Indianapolis : —. The Jury Wretile With Each Other tor Twenty-four Hour* and Are Then Die-eharfrd-How the Ballots Stood and Other luteresting Particulars. The jurorsin the conspiracies reported to Judge Woods Saturday evening that they could not agree and were discharged. They at once drew their pay and left for their several homes. The jury, it will be remembered was composed of the following: Charle* W. Anderson, foreman, Royal Center, Catw county, Democrat-Greenbacker. ’ J John R. May, Independence,Warren, Democrat. John T. Hunt, Dana, Vermillion, Democrat. Charles W. Vande ender, Newport, Vermillion, Democrat. David B. Dinsmore, Hillsdale, ' Vermilliop, - Democrat. , , ■ I Wm. H. Fulwider, Columbus, Bartholomew, Democrat. William Stone, Logan, D arborn, Democrat. Willard S. Bowen, LaPorte, Democrat. Ezra Wood, Madison. Jefferson, Republican. Samuel Nicholson, Hymen', Sullivan, Republican. George W. King. Bartholomew, Republican. James H. Fear, Tipton. Republican. There was a considerable curiosity among those who had been watching the trial to know how the jury stood in its ballotings on the different defendants. One of the jurors said: “In most of the cases it was what I suppose will be called a strict party vote, the Democrats voting for acquittal and the Republicans for conviction. The vote on Beck was at one time eleven for acquittal while in the case of Bernhamer the vote stood six for conviction to six for acquittal. There was no heated or exciting arguments among the jurors but from the first after retiring it was plainly to be seen that no agreement could be had. The foreman, Mr. Anderson, was strong for conviction.” Another of the jurors said, “We took our first ballot immediately after supper on Friday evening. It seems from first to last that we must have voted a thousand times, but that is, of course, an overestimate. We voted on each defendant seperately every time. The vote for Coy’s conviction was five against seven for acquit al.” The same juror said the persons from Vermillion county “were strog for acquittal. The juror of Laporte county was very active and kept any who might appear to waver into line.” A juror estimated the average ballots taken to be about as follows: Bernhamer—Six for acquittal; six for conviction. „—.■■ ■■■ -- • ■ -- " - Coy—Seven for acquittal- fl re for conviction. RuHivan —Eightfor acquirtSlT Tour for conviction. Mattler-Seveu for acquittal; five for conviction. Metcalf—Nine for.acquit tai; three for conviction. Beck—Ten for acquittal; two for conviction. Budd—Eight for acquittal; four for conviction. Mr. Spaan -stood about with Coy, though at times there were fluctuations in his rating as a conspirator. There were also occasional variations in the vote on Budd. Judge Claypool, who assisted IT. S. Attorney Sellers in the prosecution, was asked how he regarded the action of the jury. He said:

“It was a matter of surprise,” ftplied that gentleman adding, after a pause, “and not much either after the first round. In my judgment the evidence is so strong that if the spirit of politics had not entered into the minds of the jurors they could not have hesitated five minutes in rendering a verdict against all the defendants, excepting Reardon. Since the case has been tried we have information of very important evidence which must render a conviction of some of the defendants, as it seems to me, almost certain. In my opinion,the prosecution should be pressed, with renewed vigor from this time onward, and the people ought not to surrender until it is certainlp determined that it is impossible to punish such crimes committed in our midst. I have heard the suggestion that this prosecution was intended for political effect. Ido not see how it is possible for any honest man to entertain such an opinion,because I have a conviction that the defendants have had the sympathy of a good many prominent Republicans, whose names I do not wish to mention.” The defendants in the case regard the result with more satisfaction than if a verdict of guilty had been rendered, but appear to recognize the fact that the contest is not over. The committee of one hundred express a determination to prosecute the cases tea final termination. Public sentiment is more or less devided. The fact of the changing of the tally sheets is admitted as beyond doubt, but many Democrats claim Perkins alone was guilty of this offense against the laws. It is not known when a second hearing will be had.

OHIO REPUBLICANS.

They Meet, Formulate a Platforni, Nominate a Ticket and Endorse Hon. John Sherm.n for the Presidency—Foraker for Governor—The Proceedings. The Republicans of Ohio met in convention at Toledb, Wednesday evening, July 27th, and adjourned Thursday evening Governor Grosvernor offered a resolution indorsing Sherman’s candidacy 'for the Presidency, as follows: Recognizing, as the Republicans of Ohio always have, the gifted an tried statesmen of the republican party of other States: loyal and unfaltering in their devotion to’ the success of the organization in 1888, under whateverstandan| bearer the republican national convention may select, they have just pride in the record and career of John Sherman as a member of the repuolican party and as a statesman of fidelity, large experience and great ability. His carger as a statesman began with the birth of the Republican nartv: he has grown and developed with the growth of that organization; his genius

and patriotism are stamped upon the record* o? the party and the statutes and constitution of the country: and believing that bis nomination for tbe office of president woald be wiae and judicious, we respectfully present his name to the people of the United States as a candidate, and announce, our hearty aud cordial support of him for that office. / No sooner was this read than Col. J. G. Munson, of Zanesville, rose and offered the ultimatum of the anti-Sher-man men in the following That we hereby pledge the united and enlhuslaMic support of the Republicans of Ohio to the nominee of the next National Republican con vaatioa, and, in this connection, we call the attention of the republicans of. Ohio to the eminent services and splendid career of Hon. John Sherman. Both resolutions were referred without debate. By a vote of 18 to 3, afterward made unanimous, tbe committee on resolutions adopted the former as a part of the platform. / . ______ Ex-Governor Charles Foster, chairman of the committee on resolutions, read the platform. It pronounces in favor of a protective tariff; urges the passage of laws to protect the country from the inroads of dangerous arid undesirable elements, including convict labor from abroad; denounces as hostile to the interests of labor the bold and persistent usurpation in many of the States of its political rights and privi leges, demands a free ballot and a fair count in all sections, and that the settlements of the war must stand irrevo-cable-respected, honored and observed in every part of the republic. Congressshould take control of elections of Rep-' resentatives; demands the restoration of the duty on wool; favors liberal pensions, and appropriations for waterway improvements and national education, and demands the abolition of tax on American-grown tobacco as the first step in the reduction of internal revenue; public lands should be held for actual settlers; advocates the civil service law while condemning the falsepretenses of Cleveland’s administration; extends hearty sympathy to Gladstone, Parnell and their associates; condemns Cleveland’s vetoes of pension bills and demands the passage of the dependent bill; asks legislation to protect innocent users of patented articles from prosecution of unjust claims for damages. The tariff plank was received with loud cheers, and all received more er less applause. When the endorsement of Governor Foraker’s administration was reached the convention cheered as one man, many rising to their feet and swinging hats, etc. The rebel flag clause revived the demonstration. When the last resolution, the famous Sherman endorsement, was reached, the cheering broke out, and on call from a delegate, three cheers were give for Sherman before the reading could continue. Its elose was marked by a long cheer. A motion was made to adopt the whole platform by aaclamatioh. It done unanimously. Cheering followed, and loud calls were made for Sherman. ' He did not then appear and the report of the committee on permanent organization was read and adopted. Hon. John Sherman was made permanent chairman, and a committee of three was appointed to conduct him to the chair. The convention was in a good humor, being jubilant over the adoption of the indorsement resolution, and cheered Senator Sherman as he took the platform. His speech was listened to with the closest attention, and was received with every demonstration of applause, and especially his disclaimer that the indorsementresolution had any binding effect upon the district conventions next year. He received a tremendous round of cheers at the close. Dr. Graydon, of Cincinnati,then nominated Governor Foraker for a second term, and the motion was carried by acclamation and a whirlwind of cheers. Asa Bushnell, of Springfield, would have been similarly nominated for lieutenant governor, but he refused the honor, pleading business engagements. The ticket was completed as follows: Governor, J. B. Foraker. Lietuenant-governor. W. C. Lyon. Supreme Judge, (long term) Wm. T. Spear. Supreme Judge (short term) F. J. Diqkman. State Auditor, E. W. Poe. Attorney-general, D. K. Watson. Member of Board of Public Works, C. A. Flickinger. The Senator thanked the convention for the honor of presiding officer, and congratulated the members upon the encouraging prospects for Republicanism in the State and Nation. He eulogized Governor Foraker and declared the latter deserved both his popularity and his re-nomination, as he has fairly earned both. He said: “More than that, he has prevented a Democratic President from surrendering to the confederates the flags and banners they lost in the rebellion.” He reviewed the work of the late Republican Legislature, and comifaended it highly, and then discussed State questions at some length. He commended the platform, especially the tariff, pauper labor and imported labor planks, and emphasized the demand in the platform for fairer congressional elections. The Senator closed by thanking, in a most heartfelt manner. the convention for its unanimous indorsement. He said: “I know that this resolution is of no importance unless the voters of the district of Ohio and of the Union shall, of their own free choice, elect delegates who will agree with yon in your opinion. I recognize the rule and the right of every district to speak its own voice,”
