Cleveland, Sept. 20. For a time the Republicans of this state were qiito faint hearted over the political situ ttion. The Democrats hail '..cttr organization, and with the Standard Oil Ccin;mny as their backer werere- jpared to have great sums of money. The 'stories 'df'defeolftns' amor7i-Qer-i mans were greatly exaggerated. The temperance issue was thought to be unavoidable. The Democrats had planned a comprehensive colonization scheras. Ohio has no registry law. It used to have, but the Democratfc legislature repealed this most useful shield against fraud. Colonization from Indiana was particularly dread ed, as the western tier of towns in this state along the Indiana line are Demo cratic. To on"het this the eastern tier of counties in Indiana are Republican. The local managers in these Republi can counties will keep watch agmnst colonists being run over from the other sde. The situation, which two weeks ago looked so alarming, has changed com pi tt'U . The Republicans have been benefited by the scare. They are now splendidly equipped and organized. This s'ate is being closely canvassed, so that by the 1st of O.tolw the Re publican managers ri!l be able to ti II within a feirrftfundred votes how the state will go. ' From the reports al ready in, the Republicans feel confi dent of carrying the state in October by from 15,000 to 20,000 nmjority. Tliay are encouiaged in this view by tho fact that outside of Cincinnatli theic is almost no defection among tie Germaus. Upon this point im portant testimony is eivcu by Fitz Glogoeur, editor of the Cleveland "Anzeiger." This paper has supported the Democratic party in the last few contests in this state, when the tern perance itsue has been made prom! nent. Mr. Glogosur said to your cor respondent: 'There is no defection among tho Germans in Ohio now from the R'puhlican party. "We are for Blaine. Jly paper supports him. Wc recognize the fact that the Uruperancc issue is not in this campaign. Tho people who are talking of the German bolt from Blaineon account of an il legal temperance issue must think the Germans are fools. The majority of the Germans and Ea'oon keepers nro satisfied with tin present license law in this slate, and regard it as the best possible solution of the question. You wi'l rind no German in this state vot ingn:ainst Mr. Blatie in October." The bolt of lri-li Americans from the Democratic ticket in this s'nte as in New York, ltight here in Cleve land, Fnin was elected to Congress the last time by over 40QO majority. Since that time the Democrats have "gerrymandered" the district so as to take away from it 1500 Rppubljcans. Yet, in fpite of thin, it is clear that Foran, himself an Irishman and the supposed friend of the wcrking classe', ii. now regarded as absolutely certain of being beaten. If he U this will represent a gain of over 6000 votes. The workingmen and Iiikh Americans are cutting Foran because he is against Rlnine, Cleveland, abieh went Pmn- ocratic last year, is f aid to br certainly Republican this year. Grneral Logan has done great work o ei in this state in stirring up tho enthu siasm of jtho Republicans so as to set Ih'i'i to work, nnd now that Blaine Ins arrived, the demonstrations in his behalf have ditheartened the Demo crats. No onoexpects that many votes -will be changed by the speech making or demonstrations of the canvsss, but the eflect of the great meetings of last week and thosn to come is to call out every Republican and to harnioiiizs-all' party differences growing out of local jealousies. It is believed that in the October election the entire Republican vote is to be brought out. The Demo crats are largely reiving unon the blunt use of money in this state during the last ten days before the election, but as the Republicans are thorougly forewarned, they will be able to meet tlm policy and expose it. There are 40,000 wool growers in this state. All are protectionists, and fully SO per cent, of these men are Republicans. It is said that at the last state election tho wool growers de ;y $ & v JVJI feated the Republican ticket on ac count of the Republicans in Congrcst cutting the wool tariff. This year all oi the Republican wool growers and many of the Democrats will vote for the Republican ticket en account of the protection principles of tho Repub lican party. Upon the whole the sit uation here to day looks very well, and unless the Democrats are able to UbC large sums of money without de tection the Republican ticket must be elected in October by a majority, the managers, now confidently expect, of 15,000. This will' Mtis1jTb'b'sRepiTt licsns would liavo 10,000 in Maine. More than that will be regarded as the absolute end of all Democratic pre tensions of electing their national ticket. The Wisdom and, Foolish ness of Bathing- Oar modern habits have made ihe bathing room a most important part of the house. Every one bathes. The bath has been so long and so indus triously trumpeted as a panacea for almost everything that even those who shiver after a cold bath or fell likn fainting after a warm one will regu larly take either ono er the other. lie who does not take a morning bath in these days scarcely dare own to the fact, for he feels that he will bo re garded at once as an uncleanly person. Yet there is no necessary connection between cleanliness and total immer sion of the body for a greater or less period. The bath, as now understood, is, ns u well known to many physi cians, too rude a treatment for many persons of sensitive temperament. It is not every organism that can stand the chill of' a plunge in cold water anil the shock of a shower upon the head. If reaction is swift, and all the organs of the body in good working o:der, cold and shower baths' may often be beneficial; but if tho tone of the sys tem is low tho reaction will- not tako place and injury will result. It would bo well if we would trust our sensa tions more and follow our wills less. AMien a person does not "feel like" taking a bath, yet will take it, he ii simply using his will against himself. Cleanliness cap. be satisfied by wash ing portions of tho body separately so as not to chill the entire surface at once. In any case the benefit of a cold bath comes from the reaction and must be secured by friction, followed by oclive exertion, not by sitting or standing in currents of air. Fast Riding. Talking of fast riding Ihccthor day, a gentleman of this city, gave a report er of the "Times-Mountaineer" some of his experiences in the raddle. A frtw years ago he had occasicn to lide from Yakima City to The Dalles, and aften accomplished the journey during daylight of a winter's day. The dis tance is about ninety miles, nnd the short days of winter hardly ten hours long. But the fastest riding he ever did .was in a case of sickness. His friend resided about thirty miles be low Yakima City, on th? river, nnd our informant slartcJ to the latter place and brought a doctor back with him in three hours, a distance of twenty miles an hour, or a mile every three minutes. The gentleman is very reliable, and will support all his state ments by undoubted evidence. Oiy reporter thought these matters worthy of being made items, and jotted them down for that purposp, but ho desires it distinctly understood the t he did not see the gentleman ride sixty miles in three hour", but gives the story as 'twas given him.

The movements of Mr. Blaine and the unprecedented enthusiasm which ho meets at every turn are-political events of the highest importance. They show, what certain eastern journalists' and amateur politicians will never be made to realize, that tho American pop!o are not the lickle, changeable creatures that they are often repre sented to be. Mr. B'aino has for years po-sessd the cuthusastic admir-ntionoi-tbf'-JtrtJfrlracfe anuftfiU. These unmistakable demonstrations show that he possesses it still. Tire disaffection and bitter criticism of tho bolters ha3 not reached the ponular feeling. Tho average man has follow ed Mr. Blaine's career with pride and satisfaction. Tr.e average man ad mires brains and eloquenco nnd mag nanimity in a political leador. The magnetism which tho independent presi sneers at so constantly is just what the nverage man likes. Why shouldn't he .ike a l.right, dear head1 ed, attractive man better than a stupid, common place man? The thing which the dudes and Pharisees" can not understand at all is human nature. And their distrust of it is greater than their ignorance of it. They really take stock in Matthew Arnold'? nori spiiso about "remnant!." and the su perior sagacity'and purity of the salect few, and they bslievo that them selves constitute the precious reirnant, the leavening clement, in tho Ameri can nation. Tho truth is that the opinions and instincts of the plain people in this country are usually about right, and tho man who distrust the J Iain people am themselves to be distrusted. Tho enMiusiasm of tho people is a great moral force, not an immniora! force as the American dis ciples of Arnold ho'd. "Minneapolis Tribune." . Origin of Base. Bali. Base ball rtnlly originated in New YorK city in 1815, when a party of gentlemen so modified tho game of town ball as to create a new gamo, to which they gavo the name of baco ball. On the 23d of Septcmbor of that year these gentlemen formally organized the Knickerbocker Base Ball club, and adopted a series of playing rules. Prior to 1S15 a sort of crude base ball hid been'played under various rules, but it was litllo more than a school boy'.s diversion. Tim Olympic Club, of Philadelphia, had been organized in 1853, but it p'uted nothing but town ball until! 18G0, when ba3e ball was adoptel in its stead. In New England, about thirty years ago, there was a gamo called "The New England Game," which was played with a bmali, light ball, which was thrown overhand to the bat, white in the New York game of bate ball as then played by the Knickerbocker, Etgle, Gotham, and Empire clubs, a large, elastic ball was pitched to the bit. The original rules of the gamo were' very vague and incomplete. The ball wa3 much too large and heavy, being allowed a circumference of 10 inches and a weight of 6L ounces, just an inch in size and an ounce in weight greater than the present limit. Thero was no limitation to the length of tho kit. Iu tho year 18G3 two important new ruies were made, one requiring tho p:tclier to stand in a spare e7jf"Ce9t by thiee anil tV other requiring the' umpiro to call bulls aiij slvo the bats man his first base after three had been called. Until Dccembsr 14, 1SG4, a fair ball, if caught on the first bounce, put the striker out, but on the above date the National Association of Base Ball Players did away with the bound catch, except fpr foul balls, and finally adopted the fly ge.me. Forty-five foot was tho distance from the pitcher's position to the homo plato until 1881, when it was moved five feet further back. "Philadelphia Times." . During tho recent unprecedented rainy sjiell in Austin, Mrs. Jones sent her servant to a neighbor, Mrs. Smith, with the following message: "Would you be kind enough to send .back that umbrella yo i bonowed, about a month ago, from Mrs. Jones" "Certainly, here it is. Tell Mrs. Jones I would have sent it back sooner, but it has been raining ever sin:o T borrowed it." A mill built in 1G50 is still running in New London, Cotir. v;.- V"Vti
