suggested, on his individual responsibility,
as means of expediting the 'adjournment,

WELCOME HOME.
Governor and Mrs. Fornker Recetre an
Ovation on Their Return trom Chicago.
Columbus, June 27. Governor Foraker
and party arrived from Chicago at about 2
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and were met at
tho depot by the Foraker club, accompanied
by a band ahd a number of citixns.
As Governor Foraker appeared on the
platform of tbe private car that bad been
placed at his disposal he was cheered hear
tily, and the cheers were redoubled as Mrs.
Foraker appeared. She carried a parasol
which had a number of small silk Hags at
tached to It In answer to the cheers the
governor bowed and waved his hat, while
Mrs. Foraker twirled the flag-ornamented
parasol, showing the Sags to the cheering
crowd.
All the way down High street the club
was cheered, and whenever the Governor
and Mrs. Foraker were caught sight of
there was always a waving of hats and
flags. The governor was escorted to his
home at the head of State street, by the
club and Ohio delegates, where the party
were met by a crowd of citizens anxious to
extend greetings. On alighting at the gate.
Governor Foraker stepped upon the carriage-stone
and said:
'Gestlemex of the Club I could
not do less than thank rou for this unex
pected honor, for unexpected It most cer
tainly Is. 1 was not expectLig this, as I
was thinking we were not returning home
crowned with honors. Tour actions, how
ever, are probably in accordance
with the last telegram recehed
from Hon. John Sherman before
leaving Chicago. In this telegram he
said he desired to thank the Ohio dele
gation of its efforts in his behalf, and that
it had done all in Its power for his .nomina
tion. This gives the lie to the statements
of the delegation proving recreant to the
trust Imposed upon them by the republi
cans of Ohio. There never was anything
in this except in the minds of the Infernal
rascals wbo circulated the reports, but they
are knocked out, and too dead to skin.
We did not get Sherman, and as Indiana
was Inclined to give him tbe go-by, we con
cluded to take her hi, and also New York."
Cheers.
Some one in the audience inquired:
"What is the chance for your ltlch street
friend?"
To which tbe governor responded:
"The stars and stripes have taken the
place of the bandana, which has been
relegated to the times when it had no polit
ical significance. As we have had a long
and tiresome siege I propose to go in, get
something to eat and some sleep, after
which we will buckle on the armor, as you
have done, and it shall not be taken off till
It Is time to inaugurate our successor to
Grover Cleveland."
Considerable preparation is being made
by the several republican clnbs here for tbe
ratification meeting tonight

Frank K. Julinsoo and Charles Flatt Get a

One of the most quietly impressive ar
raignments that has occurred in common

announced their Intention of pleading not

entered a plea of guilty tthe charge of
grand larceny. The charge of burglary
was nollied, owing to the condition of the
building from which the wool-was stolen.
The charge of assault with intent to kill,
against Johnson, was laid away.
Mr. Cook, on behalf ot the prison

athletic men, made a strong plea for mercy'
and leniency. He represented that John

that the crime had been 'committed while
the men were drunk and desperate.
In sentencing the men Judge White said
tbe fanning element had to be protected,
both as to 1ies and property: that he had
thought of giving the prisoners the full
penalty of the law, but In view
of mitigating features of tbe
case, wonld make it five years
esh at hard labor and to pay the costs of
the prosecution. The prisoners heard tho
sentence unmoved. Both were chewing
tobacco and spit fluently when they heard
the sentence.
An Unimportant Correction.
"A Plumber" sends a communication to
the Republic In which he says that Mr.
II. Desormoux turned the gas on himself
in the Arcade building, and not one of his
men. It is difficult to determine where the
point comes in, but probably the public can
discover it The facts are that the gas was
turned on by some unauthorized person and
an explosion was the result.

WET BUT HAPPY.
The Oroeers' Picnlo Today A Creditable
but Damp Procession.
The grocers weren't in any sense "dry
goods" men today, independent of what
their business is. Their great picnic came
on a rainy day steadily wet and disagree
able. Notwithstanding, they made a brave
effort and turned out a very creditable
though somewhat bedraggled procession,
consisting of sixty-seven grocery wagons,
gaily bedecked with flags, bunting and
evergreens. The red, white and blue "ran"
just as soon as the rain struck It and the
result was a mixture that had the premon
itory symptoms of becoming an Italian sun
set Most of the groceries closed according to
programme at 9 o'clock, and the procession
moved through tbe rain an hour later. Ev
en thing was carried out to the letter,
don't care if it did rain. Grand Marshal
Lafferty and Aides Burnett and Clancy
headed tbe procession. Next followed
Foreman's band In a big van-,
and then sixty-seven grocery wagons.
covered, oyerwith,, watr-8oakedparriot-
bm. Some of the designs had originally
been very pretty, but the prohibition weath
er had done them np. The full line of
march was traversed, the procession wind
ing up at the Fair grounds about noon.
Tbe programme of spoils is being observed
there this afternoon as well as the weather
will permit
The Grocers' association demonstrated
that they are stayers from "away back."
WHO WILL WIN?
A Contest Going on, With an Uncertain
Outcome.
It is difficult to tell, from the present
status of the race, whether the "concern
across the road" from the Republic office,
or the Times, will win in their frantic en
deavors to kill off the democratic dally
enterprise, by attempting to fill the "aching
void" themselves. It is "amusln" to watch
the contest and bets are about even as to
the outcome.
The democratic colerlng given the inter
views published in Monday evening's
Times rather gave them the call, but "tbe
concern across the road" from the Repub
lic office has rather forged ahead again,
in its attempts last night
While all this Is going on the "deramles"
have announced their intention to
go right along with the enter
prise and will probably issue
early in July. Tbe boys of the the two
competing gangs may come out of the race
only to find that they were not entered at
all, and that tbe show has been opened up
at another place.
Go in young fellows you furnish fun for
the (crowd while preparation for the big
show, are in progress. You are a neces
sary side issue to the big show under the
big canvass.
THETHIRD PARTY.
Rexpectf oily Referred to the Followers of
the Cause.
Prof Weston, of Stanfordville, Conn.,
late of Antioch college. Yellow Springs,
In a letter to the editor of the Yellow
Springs Review commending the village
for having voted to close their saloons,
closes his letter as follows:
"It is a weak, roundabout way to think
to reach prohibition by votes for persons.
Tbe direct vote brings out the strength and
shows that the political party that claims all
the prohibition sentiment is weak compared
to tbe aggregate power that stands ready
to speak out when It has a chance. Some
years ago Ohio cast over 333,000 ballots by
a direct vote for prohibition. 'At tbe same
election the third partyists cast I believe,
about 13,000 votes. They have gained since
then a little by the large expenditure of
money but what have they accomplished ?
And how long, with their rate of increase,
will it take them to get a majority ? They
will never get it The only way Is for ail
the friends of temperance and good morals,
without regard to party, to work together
to get what they can and hold what they
get And In this work the republicans will
be foremost J. B. Westox.
The City Barn-Yard.
The barn-yard on Columbia street In front
of the court house, is In bad condition to
day, the express and moving vans having
been making that a rendezvous again for
some time, which gives the place a very
rural stable-) ard appearance. Those men
with their teams should have a suitable
and convenient place for their wagons, but
It certainly should not be In that public
place. It Is unsightly and unnecessary.
borne better and just as convenient place
should be provided.
Benzined a tioat.
Arthur Coe, a mischievous youngster em
ployed at the Buckeye Printing works, put
benzine on Rev. Mr. Gross's c at
today, and set the animal to
crazy that It turned all sorts
of back hand springs and tried to swallow
Itself. Coe was arrested by Officer Wilson,
but afterwards released at the solicitation
of Mr. Gross.

bis mother, and was worn by his father
during that memorable campaign. At the
top is a cut of the bird of freedom bearing
tbe American flag, with an appropriate
motto. In the center Is a cut of Grand
father Harrison, then the candidate, and
below a cut of tbe log cabin and cider bar
rel. It is a very handsome badge and ought
to be reproduced for service this year. It
Is doubtful If there Is another in existence,
and if not the badge may grow to have
great Intrfnslc value in addition to its great
value as a relic of forty-eight years ago.

OHIO AT CHICACO.
now
the Delegation was Watered and
Fed In the Convention flail.
The "amusln" Incidents of tbe great
Chicago convention are now coming to the
surface, since tbo real business has been
disposed of. "F. D. M.," In describing the
scenes on Monday, when the Ohio delega
tion was being fed, says:
"At this point there was some commo
tion in the Ohio delegation, and It was dis
covered that a boy with a -big basket and
another with a big pail were engaged In
feeding and watering the delegation. The
'Big Four' sat with huge buns and big
pieces of pie in their bands, and their
cheeks puffed out as they masticated the
big mouthfuls they chawed off. They did
not seem to take kindly to the boy with the
water, but they were going for tbe grub In
great shape. The president sternly or
dered that the people engaged in feeding
the animals be at once removed by the ser-geant-at
arms. The Ohio delegation, wbo
bad missed tbe feeding trough, cast despair
ing looks as it disappeared, and the boy
with the water pail walked out almost un
noticed." Tbe Columbus Journal, in referring to
tho above, gives the following explanatory
chart:
"Mr. Mussey evidently did not know that
one of these 'bojs' was Mr. Frank Balrd,
of this city, one of the altera ates-at-large,
who was lord chamberlain of the Sherman
headquarters during the great struggle,
through whom all callers bad to pass their
cards and credentials. Ho was the door
keeper of the inner counsels where, for or
dinary district delegates and tbe common
herd, It was harder to enter than for a
camel to pass through the eye of a needle.
Balrd, by the way, was one of the greatest
of hustlers at the convention for Sherman.
Ue carried the basket of sandwiches through
the convention gracefully. He Is al
ways graceful. Another alternate car
ried the pail of water, and why should he
be abused for the only thing he got to dn?
Uutsurh Is statesmanship. These great
alternates at-large never dreamed that
when they got to Chicago they would be
taken by the high priests of the press, wbo
sit on tbe platform, as wemer-wurst fiends.
It seems, however, that the principal re
ward of alternates as well as delegates
from Ohio is to be misunderstood in part
and misinterpreted in tbe other part. Mus
sey has certainly sized up the situation to
perfection on this point It is doubtful
whether be realized how correctly he was
measuring tho functions of great men."
THEKIDCOTHISFOOTIN IT.
What Mama's Darllns Was Dolns; all
the
Time Be Was Gettinsja Ride.
A very laughable incident occurred in
front of Aron's jewelry store yesterday
afternoon, which played to big business
and furnished vivid amusement for a whole
street full of people. A well-known young
married lady of social prominence was
promenading Blowly down street, pushing
ahead of her a dainty baby buggy, contain
ing an equally dainty cbeaub. The baby
was a child of about one summer,
while the vehicle was of about
two springs. The lady's manner was rub
er abstracted and astsbe slowly ambled
along ber gaze wandered from side to side
of the street in an easy, gentle interest in
tbe shop windows and their bright con
tents. She had evidently been marketing
lor inn iront or tne buggy contained a
quanltv of supplies, including a roll of
printed butter.
Tbe naoy bad its foot in the butter, bnl
mamma was looking away and admiring
the spring styles but the batter was just
good enougn lor the baby. It
plashed its little foot in the butter
and kicked In It aud got It way np to lb
nttie stocking and oued its knee joint with
it and was having a greasy, agreeable time
churning tbe butter back Into cream. When
mama finally noticed, the baby bad a
pound of creamery neatly spread over the
shoe and stocking and distributed with
judicious Impartiality over the robes and the
rest of the groceries. A big laugh went np
when mama round what had happened.
"Kick, dearie," she said, "KIckle 'e
ittee footie."
Baby kicked cut its "ittle footie" and a
little shower of buttery oil sprinkled the
pivement Baby was voted by mamma
not a success as a shopper.
OHIO AND THE TICKET.

General Harrtson's Business Associates
Both Ohio Men.
Ohio has considerable stock in the Chi
cago presidential ticket after all, directly
and by association. General Harrison was
born and educated in Ohio; his law partner,
Jno. B.EIam, esq., conies from near Xenla,
Greene county, and Is an old personal friend
ot Mr. Thomas G. Brown of the Rkpubuc.
Mr. Elam graduated from Miami Univer
sity in 1S71 and afterwards studied law
with Hon. John Little. He then went to
Indianapolis, In a few years was elected
prosecuting attorney of the county in which
Indianapolis is located and just before
General Harrison went to the United States
Senate the law partnership was formed be
tween two Ohio men. Another member of
tbe firm is Pink Fishback, a native of
Clermont county. Ohio, the hrm name be
ing Harrison, Fishback & Elam, all Ohio
men.
That Same Old Coon.
Political prognostications of Mr. H. M
Shepherd are generally pretty good. In
conversation with that gentleman this
morning it was quite apparent that he is
wonderfully pleased with the result of the
Chicago convention. Some weeks before
the convention assembled he commenced
making provisions for a "Tippecanoe and
Tyler Too" campaign, believing that tbe
grandson of ' Old Tip" would be nomi
nated. In his office he takes delight in
showing to his friends a bran new coon
skin, which, more than probable, will adorn
bis frontispiece tbe coming campaign. If
he succeeds in procuring a demijohn of
hard cider he will be thoroughly equipped.
Don't he Unkind, John.
"There was a new coon in town" Son-
day, and he was smashing the hearts of the
poor girls right and left He was the most
gorgeously-attired chap ot the season, was
Dayton's Professor Brooks junior, and cre
ated a sensation. He bad on a gray cordu
roy suit trimmed, faced aud lined with dark
blue satin, patent leather shoes, and the
latest In neck-tie, hat etc. His proces
sion of himself up Detroit street was equal
toawnoie company or mtantry. It was
supposed that he was a real sample of tbe
kind of dude spnngheld turns out Aenla
