In view of the row among the Ohio Democrats it is worth while to observe tliat Governor Campbell has at least one advantage over McKinley. He his absolute control of tlie state organi zation of iris party, and undoubtedly special care will be taken to take tlie management of affairs out of the hands of the local bosses, so tliat tlie treachery of those worthies can accomplish noth ing more than tlie loss of their own votes. On the other hand the Foraker men—who correspond pretty closely on the republican side to Campbell's opjio- nents on tlie democratic—are running the republican campaign in the state as completely as in Cincinnati. Only one personal friend of Mr. McKinley is on the republican state central commit tee, and for the first time in tlie history of Ohio polities the candidates for state offices were excluded from the meeting of the committee when it organized and elected officers. McKinley is not much of a politician, and has no grip on the machine. The politicians in Iris party are not hostile to him, as the Cincinnati democratic ring is to Governor Campbell— they are simply indifferent to him. From tlie present outlook the entire republican campaign, so far as tlie state central committee is concerned, is to l>e run with an eye single to electing Foraker to the senate. Of course, that is not what the beneficiaries of the tariff out side of Ohio are interested in, when they put up their coin it will be given for the purjiose of electing McKinley. But unless they send their own agents to handle it, or make sure that they are putting it into the hands of McKin ley’s personal friends, Foraker will get lienefit of it, and the Napoleon of Chinese protection will lie left to take his chances. This is one of tlie eonsirieratioiis that makes it unsafe to bet on the outcome of the Ohio campaign, The Australian ballot system is another. But 1 for that Govern- Campbell would be at the mercy of the trusts and the Cincinnati thugs, but as it is nothing is certain, It would be poetic justice' if the Gov- ern's conscientiousness in insisting up on the adoption of the reform should prove his salvation.— Examiner. Reynolds' newspaper, the only dis tinctively radical paper in Londan, ad vocating republican ideas, expresses the belief that “the principal of mon archy is nearing its downfall, since it is producing such imbeciles as the I’rince of Wales and such prententious hum bugs as the Kaiser, who believes that the Almighty has api>ointed him to govern as best suits his own ambition. Such ideas of rulership are out of place in the Nineteenth century, and people will refuse to l>e tolerant toward them much longer.’’ All accounts represent that distress is imminent in many districts of Russia. The wheat crop is so inferior, and tlie condition of the poor so pitiful in con sequence, that in order to prevent a wide-spread famine the exportation of Russian wheat is prohibited. This is a fact that will make the great grain erop of America, now beiug harvested, all the more valuable. St. Louis Globe-Democrats (Ilcp.): If the democrats carry Pennsylvania in the state election this year, or cut the republican margin down to 9,00(1 or 10,- 000, Gov. Pattison’s name will be prom irent in the list of aspirants for the presidential nomination in next year’s democratic national convention. A democratic victory in Pennsylvania in the canvass of 1891 and a democratic defeat in Ohio would put Pattison ahead of all others in tlie convention, with the posible exception of Cleve land. Should the democratic majority in Pennsylvania lie 18,900 or 20,000 with the republicans ahead in Ohio, Pattison would undoubtedly be nomi- nated iu 1892 on the first ballot. a father is going away into sin he leaves Indianapolis Journal (Hep.): In all n°l t Perhaps S1;?ut there ,re RU i .ffer' his living children with their mother; but ent. was Iel about this ai chair discussious concerning the presidential if a father is going away into sin what is ; more gentleness, more tenderness, more ------------ Washington, July 18th. — Reports when we had done wrong.
