The Ohio Republican Convention.
The Republican (state Convention of Ohio
meets nt Toledo to-day, and a very inter
esting convention it will be, in all proba
bility. Tho chief interest is not in tho candi
dates, because it is pretty well settled who
will bo nominated, particularly for Gover
nor, but in tho probable action of tho con
volition with regard to the proposed resolu
tion indorsing Senator Sherman for Presi
dent. It is believed that at least two-thirds
of the Ohio Republicans are in favor of the
nomination of Blaine for President, and if
thnt is the case the State convention can
not honestly ask for tho nomination of
Sherman.
Tho State convention has nothing to do
with national ]xlitics, but Sherman is de
termined that it shall say whether it favors
his candidacy or not. Ho is a delegate to
the convention, and his friends will be there
in force, and will bring strong influences to
beau upon the delegates in his favor.
In 1880 and in 1884 the Ohio delegation to
tho National Convention was divided, a
majority being for Sherman, blit the senti
ment for him was not strong enough to hold
the majority to his standard when n favor
able opportunity to vote for another candi
date presented itself. Senator Sherman has
determined that Ohio must give him n solid
and hearty support if he is a candidate be
fore the next National Republican Conven
tion, and he wants to know now what his
prospects are. A few weeks ago ho an
nounced that unless the Ohio delegation was
solid for him ho would not be a candidate,
and that tho failure of the Toledo conven
tion to indorse him would lie followed by
an announcement that he was out of tho
Presidential race.
1 Tho question whiah presents itself, there
fore, is this; \Vi ll the convention give Sen
ator Sherman tho indorsement which ho de
sires? The impression appears to be that it
will, lint it will do so not because he is tho
favorite, but because to refuse would be to
endanger the success of the State ticket next
fall. The difference between the strength
of the Democratic and Republican parties
in the State is not very great, and a refusal
to indorse Senator Sherman might cause
him and his admirers to remain inactive in
the approaching State campaign. If they
should show a disposition to abandon tho
State ticket to its fato the Democratic can
didate for Governor might be elected.
It looks, therefore, as if the convention
would ho compelled to indorse Senator Sher
man whether it wants to or not. It cannot
afford to take the chances of incurring his
hostility to the State ticket. Gov. Foraker
has a strong backing in the State for Vice
President, but if a solid Sherman delegation
is chosen there will be no possibility of
bringing Gov. Foraker forward for tho
second place on tho ticket unless Senator
Sherman withdraws.
But if the State convention indorses Sena
tor Sherman, will the party respect tho in
dorsement in choosing delegates to the
national convention? That is very doubtful.
If Mr. Blaine is a candidate it is probable
that Ohio will again choose a divided dele
gation.
Summed up tho situation is about this:
If the State convention indorses Senator
Sherman the indorsement will not be a
genuine one, and will not lx> respected it
Mr. Blaine is a candidate. It will not be
given willingly, but through fear of incur
ring Senator Sherman’s hostility to tho
State ticket, and its consequent defeat.
Senator Sherman can force an indorsement
from the State, but he cminot. control the
selection of the delegation to tho national
convention. It looks now os if he would
suffer tho same kind of a disappointment in
1888 that he did in 1880 and 1884.
Florida’s Sub-Tropical Exposition.
The proposed Sub-Tropical Exposition at
Jacksonville is certain to boa success. Its
promoters arc pushing forward the prepara
tions for it with groat earnestness anil ener
gy. They appear to understand fully tho
magnitude of the task they have undertaken
and to be fully equal to it.
From present indications tho exposition
will lx; much larger than it was at first pro
posed. Tho interest that is manifested in it,
throughout Florida, and also outside of
tho State, justifies an enlargement of the
seopo of tho enterprise. The State itself
could furnish material for a magnificent ex
position, but wheu it is understood that
Central America and tho West Indies are to
bo drawn upon, ns well as parts of this
country outside of Florida, it will be at once
seen what a magnificent display is contem
plated.
It is gratifying that the work of making
preparations has begun so soon. Although
it is not proposed to open tho exposition
until next January it will require all the
time before thut date to itti the work that is
necessary to be done. Tho great mistake
that is made in connection with nearly all
expositions is that too many things aro left
to be done until the last moment. Tho re
sult is that on tho opening day everything
is in disorder, and the public receive a bad
impression. That was the case at the Now
Orleans exposition, and tho managers of the
Florida affuir will bo wise if they avoid that
mistake. When the opening day is fixed
let it ho understood that by that time every
thing will bo in order.
In view of the fact that Florida has as
tonished tho world by hor progress in popu
lation and material wealth, it is fair to pre
sume that there will bo still greater aston
ishment, when it is soon what Florida can do
in tho fruit and vegetable lino wheu at her
best.
If tho Dry Goods Chronicle is credible
authority, Southern people arc preparing to

during the coming season than has proba
bly been witnessed in any similar one in tho
history of tho New York dry goods jobbing
business. The South would bo better off if

is a truly remarkable city.
TFIE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 1887.
The CSenvict Camp Investigation.
The in vwtigation of the management of
the convict camps and tbe treatment of
convicts which is being made by a commit
tee of the I.egislatum is attracting a good
deal of attention throughout the State. The
testimony thus fur introduced is somewhat
conflicting, but it creates the impression
that there is room for improvement in the
management of tiio camps and in the treat
ment of convicts. It is not expected, of
course, that convicts shall have the com
forts and conveniences which laborers,
who <lo tho sumo kind of work
which they do, have because they aro not
only not entitled to them, but many of them
arc so hardened and thoroughly bad that
they would take advantage of any kindness
extended to them, but it is exix'ctetl that
their lives shall not bo rendered more bur
densome than the courts which imposed
sentences upon them intended. Confinement
and hard labor do not mean excessive labor
ami brutal treatment. The State intends
that the convicts shall have wholesome food
and plenty of it, and that they shall have
proper medical attention when they are
sick.
Some of the testimony which has been
contradicted—-whether successfully or not
remains for the investigating committee to
determine—indicates the existence of im
morality and brutality in tiio camps so gross
us to call for a sweeping reform. While,
perhaps, the condition of affairs in the
camps in this State is no worse than it is in
the camps of other States where the lease
system prevails the existence of abuses
elsewhere does not excuse abuses in this
State, and if the Legislature becomes satis
fied thnt any of the lessees are not comply
ing with their contracts iu their treatment
of the convicts there ought to be no hesita
tion in declaring their looses forfeited.
Tho State is deeply interested in having the
convicts treated justly, Ixvause, aside from
the State’s obligation to soe that they are
dealt with humanely, if they are brutally
treated they will he more dangerous to
society when they are released from confine
ment.
Before any of the lessees ore condemned
I hey should be given a full hearing, and
then if it appears that they have been un
worthy of the trust reposed in them they
ought to be dealt with without any leniency.
It is believed that the leases are profitable,
and I hero are plenty of men who will gladly
take the convicts and treat them in a way
that will lie wholly satisfactory. There
is no danger that the convicts will bo thrown
back uixrn the State for support. In some
of tho States iu which the lease system pre
vails n pretty heavy bonus is paid for the
right to the labor of tho convicts. It can
not be said, therefore, that the lessees in
this State are afraid if they do not get all
the work they can out of the convicts they
will lose money. If any lessee loses money
it is because ho doesn't know how to manage
his convicts.
Tho Spartanburg Encampment.
Tho first annual meeting of tho Interstate
Farmers’ Summer Encampment at Spartan
burg, 8. C., will begin ou Aug. 3 and con
tinue until Aug. fi. The prospects for a suc
cessful and profitable encampment aro ex
eellent. Hundreds of farmers from Ala
bama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina
and Kouth Carolina are expected to be pres
ent They will have opportunities for en
joying themselves and for gaining many
hints relative to practical farming that will
prove beneficial to them. There will lx
lectures anil addresses on agricultural sub
jects, and exhibitions of tho practical work
ings of tlie latest agricultural machinery
and implements. A great deal of fine stock
is expected to be on exhibition, and farmers
will have a chance to pick up some interest
ing anil valuable points about the breeding
and raising of fine stock. In mingling
together and hearing each other’s experi
ence in farming, it will bo strange if they
do not get many suggestions which they
can turn to practical account.
The manufacturer and the merchant will
also be present, tho one to exhibit the latest
improved machinery and inventions for
use upon farms and in the household, and
the other to bring to tho notice of customers
articles which may bo needed by farmers.
There will boa display of minerals found
in the States named, and in viewing the
collection farmers may bo led to inquire
whether upon their forms there are not
minerals which can bo made profitable to
them.
The arrangements for the accommodation
of visitors aro represented to ho very satis
factory. Tho grounds havo been prepared
with great euro, and with the view of se
curing the greatest amount of pleasure and

have au encampment of farmers at Spar
tanburg every summer, and they will make
every exertion to mako the first a success

Mrs. Garner is tho editor of the Carroll
(La.) Banner. A short time ago, while vis
iting tho coast parish of Cameron, she made
a discovery which she thus charmingly de
scribes: “The low lands lying down by the
Gulf of Mexico constitute Cameron, the
prohibition parish. Thoro the rieebird twit
ters, tho cattle graze peacefully on the
prairie, nnd tho orange groves bear their
golden treasure. Leesburg is tho parish
seat. The press party wont ashore hero and
took possession of the court house, which
was tenanted by one jxjrson, the clerk. The
Sheriff had no work to do, nnd just fucing
tho hallway was a small, dilapidated struc
ture which once served for a parish jail,
but for several years now had been
utilized as a granary. Wo wont nnd shook
the creaky iloor, which was rusting away
on its hinges; we peeped through tiio shut
ters and rusty iron bars into the Interior; tho
only sound was the scampering of the rots

skeptical that prohibition (fix's prohibit.
The New York limes is authority for this

danger of a tight money market, brokets

that he was lending on long time at 4), and

CURRENT COMMENT.
Going It Alone.
From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Dem.)
The formation of a colored (J. A. R. post in
this city indicates the intention of the negro
veterans to submit to no color line. It is to bo
hoped this will not stir up <;en. Tuttle nor in
duce Gen. Fairchild to attempt tcrpalsy anyone.
Tuttle's Nearness Explains It.
From the New York World (Deni.)
Certain Republicans at Cottage Hill, la., are
boycotting and persecuting a postmistress
whom they rlo not like. This is a rough com
mentary on the chivalry of Cottage Hill, but the
influence of the neighboring Tuttle may serve
as a partial explanation of such treatment of a
woman. ,
No Occasion for a Howl.
From the Memphis Avalanche {Dem.)
There is no necessity for an indignant North

demand the .substitution of colored teacher* for
the whites imported from the North.
Mr. Randall Was Mistaken.
From the Philadelphia Becord(Dem.)
A little while ago Mr. Randall, after carefully
scanning the political horizon, oracularly in
formed the correspondent of a friendly organ
t hat the people ha<\ no desire to interfere with
the present tariff. The unanimous action of the
< >hio Democracy has probably convinced him of
his mistake, ’that monopoly rejoices in the
rich profits which it drains from consumers un
der the operation of the tariff is no sign that the
people are satisfied with tho process.

An Excellent Fourth of July Celebra
tion.
From the Glean Times.
The Fourth of July celebration at Angelica
was a success. Among the novel attractions
advort’sed was a s.'o prize to be given to the
couidc who would be married from the platform.
In the town of Ward, in Allegany county, lived
Burton Easton, a young ami manly farmer. In
the same town lived Mary White, whose father
also accumulated wealth by the shine of his
plowshare. White, by virtue of her nat
ural brightness, has for a year or two in the
summer months taught the school in her dis
trict. There two people bad hxirne 1 to love each
other, as is the way of people everywhere, and
had set the happy day for a time this autumn.
A friend suggested that they secure the prize at
the Angelica celebration, and both, glad to have
an excuse to hasten the time when their two
hearts should boat ns one, agreed to be manned
on the great anniversary day of American inde
pendence. And marrie 1 they were in th-' pres
ence of a gaping multitude. They got their SOO
and considerable besides.
The Splendors of a Hearse.
From the Detroit Free Press.
Bast year an undertaker in Kalamazoo—only it
wasn’t Kalamazoo—placed an order with a
Rochester house for a ham heme hearse. It
happened that another Kalamazoo man had
business in Rochester after the hearse was fin
ished, and before it was delivered, and curiosity
led him to the factory.
“I came to see if 1 could get a look at Mr.
Blank’s hoarse,” he said.
The manager expressed a willingness to ac
conunodut * him, and personally led the way to
the great show rooms. The first hearse they
came to the visitor asked:
“Is that Blank's?”
“No. sir,” was the answer.
“Is his ns good as that*”
“Much finer.”
“She must be a daisy.”
This sort of thing went on with every ve
hicle of the land that was passed until finaliy
in the furthest corner they found Blank's
hearse.
“Is that it?” asked the man.
“Yes, sir.”
He took a long, critical loolart it, then, turn
ing to his guide, said solemn 'JP
“You mark my word, there’ll bo suicides in
Kalamazoo.”
Under a Palm Tree.
From the Stockton Mail.
In a desert on one of the South Pacific islands
er<- about a dozen cocuanut trees, and five miles
distant is the ocean. After a hot ride through
the blazing sun a cool breeze from the ocean
set in. and I l>egan to feel th** soft touch of
slumber, and all at once 1 hoard a faint musical
tinkling as if troops of fairies were coming to
greet us as they used to do the enchanted
princess in th** olden days. I tried to locate the
melodious sounds. In all directions there was
nothing but hot, glowing sand. I looked up
there was nothing but tue beautiful tropical sky
and th*? tremulous atmosphere. Still louder
sounded the music: it was all around us; it filled
the air. 1 gazed toward the ocean, and then*,
apparently a short distance away, was a beauti
ful lake, with its waves dashing upon raoss
epverod stone*. Ka Pule had fallen asleep, and.
g tzing at the lake and listening to the music in
the air, I rested n*y head against the rough
bark of a tree. As I did so 1 heard the distant
gurgle of a brook. I could plainly hear the
water splashing over the glistening stones and
dying away in quiet eddies. I was more and
more !xwildered, and at length awoke Ka Pule.
I told him what I had heard, and directed his
attention to the lake. H* explained that the
seeming lake was a mirage: that the sound of
gurgling waters odme from an underground
stream, and that, the music was caused by the
stirring of the flinty sands by the wind.
Woman’s Foot.
From the Boston Traveller.
A high official of the government tipped back
in his comfortable office chair and said to the
Tract lit,- correspondent : T have made a dis
covery that is worth millions to bashful men.
You know there are sonic fellows who never go
into ladies' company without being embarrassed,
but 1 have found out something that will make
a bashful man the equal of the most self-con
scious woman that ever lived. Now let me tell
you my secret. I started out on the broad,
general platform that a woman is mor* scusi
five about her feet than anything else. Having
settled that in my mind, I began r series of ex
periments. The horse car is my favorite place.
1 love to see a queenly-looking woman gel into
the car and sit down with the air of knowing
that she is the best dressed lady present. In an
apparently unconcerned way I attract her at
tention by looking steadily at her feet, with an
occasional giauce at her face. Of course, I
avoid all appearance of impertinence. 1 assume
the air of a man who sees something that inter
ests him. No matter how calm the victim is
when she entered the cay, inside of five minutes
she will be so nervous that she will fairly ache
to get to He:- destination, sin* may have the
handsomest foot in the world, and know that it
is encased in a nicely fitting shoe, but she will
wilt all the same. It is a woman's weakness. 1
have tried it on young girls of 10 ancl old women
of td: the result is Jhe same. Achilles was vul
nerable only in his hoed; but you can’t look
steadily at a woman's little too for two consecu
tive minutes without making her feed as though
she would like to murder yo. .”
Athirst.
From the Detroit Free Press.
Oh, the tinkle, tuntle, tinkle, oh, the chinkle,
vbnnkle, ehinkle
Of the iee within the pitcher that I hear each
blessed morn!
Oh, the glad mid merry trebles, lilte a brook
above the pebbles.
Where rivenvani it Hows between the fields of
ripened corn!
How I listen, listen, listen, my very eyeballs
el is ten
With the rapture that is filling me and thrill
in;; uienll over!
And I almost feel the sips that shall cool my fe
vered lips—
Far more to he desired than the honey in the
clover!
And nearer, nearer, nearer, conies the music
aver dearer
Of t In- footfall of the boll boy on the steps of
the hotel;
And my soul goes out in yearning, every other
comfort spurning.
To the gentle ministrations of the hoy that
"tends the ls'!l!
Most enviable follow—c#n he guess Just how the
mellow
“Tinkle, te.ukle"' changes him to an angel in
tny sight ?
In my heart I love and bless him, and almost
could caress him.
For thirstlk T dreamed of him the livelong sul
try night!
Now he's coming,coining, coming, soon I"llhear
his knuckles drumming
On t lie panels or the portal that doth let upon
the hall!
Oh, kindly hoy, he nimble—striko and clash
thine icy cymbal.
Never can its'frigid music on my longing
senses pall!
Oh, the tinkle, tank! *, tinkle, oh, the chinkle,
cbankle, chinkle.
Like the lapping of the laughing waves upon a
golden shore—
Like a dream of fern mid grotto —I skull buy a
temperance motto
And hung it high and dry above my hotel
chamber door!
Still marching, marching, marching, my throat
and lips are parching—
He isiuses—oh, sweet minister! O angel
straight from Heaven"
1 turn the knob in rapture my hands reach out
to capture
The pitcher -hut it's gone— incarnate fiend—
