The Situation in Ohio.
TI1E OUTLOOK OROWING MORE FAVOR
ABLE FOR THE REPUBLICANS.
Special to the Chicago Tribune.
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legislature repealed this most useful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.

Blaine's Triumphal Prog
ress. 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

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.
