REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.
The Republican Con veutiou.ou Sat
urday laai, was one of the largest the
Republicans have had in this county
for years, and the earnestness mani
fested by the delegates in their ballot
ing for their favorites for nomina
tion indicated a strong fight this fall
and a probability of success. We
never saw more earnest work, con
ducted, aa it was, very coolly. It ail
tors ill for the opposition. Sucli of
the nominations as were not made by
acclamation, were cou teste J clowly,
and when decided were made unani
mous by a hearty yea.
Mr. Isaac Seitz, of Bloom t jwuship,
the candidate for Representative, is a
life-long resident of this county, is an
earnest Republican, a successful far
mer, and withal a man of culture ami
worthy to occupy a seat in the
lower house of the Ohio Legislature.
For Treasurer, Mr. C. C. Park, of
Clinton, was nominated. Mr. Park
has resided in this county for over for
ty years, and is generally known and
reepeeted throughout its length and
breadth. He is a well-to-do farmer,
having managed his finances with
Credit and profit. Knowing his abili
ty la that line, the people will readily
trust him with the money of the
wnty.
Wra. R. Smythe was honored with
tho nomination, by acclamation, for
Recorder. He is a worthy man, hav
Ing been a soldier In the war for the
Colon and bearing numerous wounds
attesting his bravery and devotion
lie Buouiu receive the vote or every
friend of the soldier, as he undoubted
ly will.
Ii. Jj. Brewer was nominated for
Prosecuting Attorney. He is an able
lawyer and an honest man. If elect
fed, be can be relied upon to do his
Whole dnty,regardless of fear or favor.
and will not allow himself to be under
.the cantrol of any party clique. Elect
him.
Jno. A Bradner, of Loudon town-
ship, has been an active business man
of Fostoria for many years. He stands
high In the western part of the coun
ty where he is well acquainted, and is
favorably known all over the county.
He has held offices of trust in Fosto
ria and given perfect satisfaction. He
is a good business man, and will make
an excellent Commissioner.
Price J. Wilson, of Tiffin, was nom
inated for County Surveyor. This is
an important office and Mr. Wilson
is fully competent to do the work re
quired, and is worthy the confidence
and support of the people.
The office of Infirmary Director was
given Mr. Myron Sexton by acclama
tion. Mr. Sexton is a resident of
Clinton township, and brings to this
office, which requires a large share of
patience from any one who ie his
duty to the poor and the tax payers,
honesty of purpose and ability.
This is a strong ticket. It is com
posed entirely of men capable of exe
cuting the duties of the offices, and all
are tried, true and unflinching Repub
licans. No better selection could have
been made.
Now, let every man in Seneca
county go to work to elect the ticket
presented to them. There is not an
objectionable man presented, and it is
a duty every Republican owes to the
principles of honesty and integrity
represented to award all an undivided
and hearty support.
If every Republican does his duty,
the October election will give us vic
tory. Organize and work at once,

KENTUCKY ELECTION.
The election in Keutucky took place
on Monday, the 7th inst. The State
went Democratic by about 31,000.
which makes it but a sorry victory for
ine democracy. The Republicans of
Kentucky are gaining in strength from
year, to year, as the following will
bow:
In 13GS Seymour's majority in that
state was 78,523. The next year Tate
neai Wing for the tneasurership by
o,ia votes. in 1870, in the vote for
congressional representatives, the
democratic majority was 32,203, which
" -no e tuajomy oi syi.msj on a
hotly contested election. This year
The majority will not exceed 2r,,(m at
the most.
Republicans of Kentucky have done
nobly.
Ku Klux riots took place In differ
ent parts of the State during the day,
and many attempts were made to in

A pathetic story comes to us from

DEMOCRATIC JUDICIAL CONVENTION.

Total...
Whitely, of Hancock, received two
votes from one of the counties.
Thus, it will lie seen that Judge
Mott has been made a "yearling," the
reason for which we will give below.
When the convention met, White
ly intended to secure the nomination,
supposing that he had fixed the ropes
i o as to ue sure oi il c pon jooKiiig
; e ground, ne louuu lu ue
i no cnance, ana ne uire an .oe . ... r
' ''e could muster to Jackson.
Now to the reasons oi the miiiiiiii
1 tion of such a man as Ahner M. Ja- k-
son commonly called "Srhaik.
Seneca's part in it in explained a
follows: Judge Pillars is not liked,
and the "two term role" was broken
that he might lie slaughtered when
he came liefore the next convention
for renomination. That is reason
fiisf.
Reason second is found in the fact
that Seneca wanted to heal all dill'er
ences with Crawford, that its good
will might be secured, with a view of
getting its assistance to nominate W.
P. Noble for Congress at. the next
Congressional election.
A general reason for the action may
lie found in the extreme hatred of the
Democratic lawyers, in all the coun
ties, towards Judge Mott. When
Mott first entered uihu his duties as
Judge, there was a general disposi
tion on the part of these lawyers to
irnjiosc on him and use him as a tool
in fact run his court. This attempt
to make him subservient to their will
was met by him as it deserved to be,
ami the gentlemen were forced to ac
knowledge his power and treat him
with resjiect. Efforts of this kind
were made whenever he held court,
and a failure to achieve success embit
tered these men againstMott and ven
geance was sworn against him.
They have had their revenge in so
far as they defeated Judge Mott's re
nomination; but he can rest assured
that the people are his friends. We
believe that there has been no Judge
in this district for years whose con
duct on the bench has met with great
er approval from the people. He has
been just and upright and rendered
his decisions honestly, according to
his judgment, regardless of the opin
ions of interested Democratic lawyers.
For this he is thrown overboard, and
a man nominated that it is supposed
can be used. The people were for
Mott, and the lawyers against him.
The candidate nominated Jackson
stands relatively as the Democratic
lawyers say Mott does. They claim
that Mott is no lawyer is Jackson
any better? We are satisfied that he
is net he never was a lawyer, and
never will be, if he lives to the age of
the "oldest inhabitant." He is a very
cIever,social fellow, too social for his
own good with a strong voice. He
also has an immense amount of wind
concealed somewhere within his body
that furnishes a never failing power
to give force to his voice. The fore
going, with a ponderous body, is all
there Is of Jackson whether or not
that is sufficient for a first-class Judge.
we leave for the people to decide.
REDUCING THE PUBLIC DEBT.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
issued a tabular statement showing
tlie present condition of the Public
Debt and the monthly exhibits since
the 1st of March, 1SG9. Tlie total del
on the 1st of August, less cash in the
Treasury, was f 2,2S3,32S,S57 "JS, show
ing a reduction during July of 8,7(11,
0G7 92, a decrease during the liv
months of $,'j7,379,9&S 94, and a total
decrease since March 1st, IStiit,
of
$242,134,402 (. The monthly inter
est charge on the 1st of August, 1S71
was $sll.U2,.4-) all, lieing a decrease
since March 1st, 1S;9, ot fl,:J0,117,aiul
a decrease in the annual interest
charge of $14,701,404.
During 1S09, the monthly state
ments showing the greatest amount
of reduction were those of June 1st
and July 1st; in 1370 those of July 1st
and August 1st, and in 1871 that o
April 1st. The heaviest reduction
was in the statement of July 1st, 1S70,
when the decrease was i?20,203,772.
If the rate of reduction should be in
tlie exact proportion of tlie decrease
shown by the present August state'
ineut, or according to the monthly
average since March 1st, 1SG9. the
debt would lie wiped out in less than
tweuty-three years. To accomplish
this, in fact, would require less pay
ments monthly than the sum for Au
gust, by the amount of the steadily
decreasing interest charge.
This, it should be borne in mind,
has been under what the Democracy
call a "wasteful" and "extravagant1
Republican Administration, and this
too when the burden of taxation has
been repeatedly lightened.
We have received a circular from
New York headed with the words,
"The Victoria League." This start
ling heading is printed on a scroll-like
background of a beautiful purple,
while the circular itself is printed In
plain black, and sets forth that "The
Victoria League" is an organization
having the object'iu view of electing as
the next President-ess of the United
States, Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull and
also give to women the right of suf
frage. The party to be created is to
be called the Equal Rights Party.
Our good will is asked for this new
party and its candidate. We accord
both all the good will they want; but
we should really like to know if Mrs,
Woodhull when elected will have Dr.
Blood reside in the White House and
what position he will occupy. We
must know all about that liefore we
agree to support ictoria. It rather
hurts our feelings to know that in New
York Mrs. Woodhull is now living in
the same house with Blood, from
whom she was divorced several years
ago, and we cannot give in our adhe
sion to her until we kuow how he is
lie disposed of in the future.
The Cincinnati Enquirer (Deiu.) no
ticing the slight effect produced
among Republicans by the siiecch of
Democratic candidate for Govern
of Ohio, says that "it was ho mod
erate as to make them regard the
speech as no stronger than weak herb
tea." It advises a stronger line of at
tack, suggesting to Mr. McCook the
following very common-place pro
gramme: "Show up, in burning lan
guage, their corruption, rascality, and
profligacy; expose their hypocrisy,
their contempt forioiii!ar intelligence
their reaching after monarchy:
don't forget the shameless iifjioi-
lsm of Grant, nor hl devoll.ni to hi
stables in preference to f :t-itivi
Departnieut."
Esjiecial attention is called to the
letter of Col. Council which is ad
dressed to Judge Thurmau. It is a
severe cut to the "Democracy as it now
is," and hurts the feelings of the lead
ers. We shall expect the Advertiser to
present it to its readers soon soon if
ever.

LETTER FROM COL. CONNELL TO SENATOR
THURMAN.
in a False and
Connell Refuses to Speak.
LANCASTER, O., Aug 2, 1871.
7o. A. !. Tliurman, (Jtaimwn
iP-raotrafie &ft Erf'-titire Com
mitter: I have received what appears to be a
circular letter, signed by you as Chair
man of the Democratic State Execu
tive committee, inviting me to enter
the pending State canvass as a speak
er, to assist in the full discussion of
the questions at issue between the two
parties and after mature and careful
deliberation, am impelled to answer
that I cannot give an honest consent
to do so, and I desire to express my
reasons for declining.
No one has a greater desire than I
for the overthrow of the dangerous
and powerful party now controlling
ilie Government, and I had hoped
that such wise counsels would have
prevailed at our State Convention, as
to have almost insured our success
in which event, I would have given
all of labor, influence and strength I
have to a noble caa"e for which I have
heretofore labored.
But "in the house of its friends," at
that Convention, were dealt the deads
! liest blows to the Democracy it ha9
yet received.
The action there, the blunders or
worse inthe nomination for Governor,
the witchery which stole away the
reason of delegates, and in some
mysterious way caused them to for
swear their faith, and by public re
cantation confess that the mission
and the creed of the party since the
war were false, heretical and wrong,
have sickened the hearts of the honest,
quiet, t hinking voters of our party to
an extent not yet fully recognized by
our leaders, who tiien voluntarily
walked up and sat on the "cutty stool."
The voters of our party are not unin
formed of the false osition the party
is placed in. They know we are go
ing U'fore the people this fall with at
least two untruths glaringly con
spicuous on our front. First, they
know that Colonel McCook was not
nominates! Governor, and that his
principal competitor led him on the
tirst ballot, when the unaccountable
mistake or fraud occurred in the an
nouncement of the vote which scores
of delegates knew to lie false; and
they will soon learn how shocked
were the friends of our dc facto can-
didateforCJovernor: who believed him
to be too hicrh-toued and sensitive
stand in his present disagreeable
position, when they discovered th
he permitted his immediate partisans
to simply say in regard to tlie fraud or
mistake in the nomination, that they
could only "hope that it would not ge
out."
This however, is a small matter
compared to the falsehoods expressed
in the party platform. When the
convention took upon itself to declare
that the Democracy of this State
recognized as accomplished facts the
two latest (so called) amendments to
the Constitution, and regarded them
as no longer political issues before the
country, it stated an untruth. Noth
ing. : ; : l,un niMr Viaa
more affected the hearts and minds of
Democratic voters than these, there
denominated dead issues, And when
in the second resolution, the Con
vention undertook to say that "the
Democratic party pledges itself to the
full, faithful and absolute execution
and enforcement of tlie Constitution,
as it now is, so as to secure equal
rights to all persons under it, without
distinction of race, coloror condition."
it exceeded its authority and simply
asserted what was known to be a false
hood,
Frank Hurd represented on the floor
of the convention tlie true sentnnen
of tlie Democracy of Ohio. They
were expressed first in his resolution
ot instructions: "That the committee
on Resolutions be instructed to make
no allusions in their report to the so-
called Fourteenth ami meeuin
Amendments to the Constitution
the United States" And afterward
in
his minority reiiort, stating "that
it
was inexpedient to make any expres
sion or opinion as to the fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments. Yet
any expression be deemed necessary
that the following be adopted as a
substitute to the first and second
resolutions proposed to this Con
vention :
"Jtesolced, The the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments have been
made parts of the Federal Constitution
by fraud and violence, and are revo
lutionary ana void."
If the Democratic party Is mon
bund, then its political priests may be
Allowed to leliot rn itoonlMMoinol
sins of their defining. But they have
certainly made the party to appear
like the dying African, wno, wnen
asked by his preacher if he was ready
to uie, and whether lie nau iorgiven
his enemies, and especially his colored
neighbor lietween whom and himself
there had long tieen a teud, answereu
"If I'se gwine to die, I forgive him
but if I gets well, dat darkie had bet
ter look out for hisself."
Worse than the misrepresentation
of the party in its views of the riiiht
and validity of the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments, is tlie con
fession of previous errors and false
opinions, implied m the language or
the hrst and secomi resolutions.
They record the party as acknowl
edging aud acquiescing in the validity
of tlie reconstruction aud force lawsof
the Radical Congress; and thus are
made to admit that Congress could
take away the life of ten free States,
deny their existence, annul their
constitutions and reduce them to the
condition of territories, without sov'
ereignty and witiiout government, and
that bv an act or resolution or t on
grcss they could be declared out of the
Union and without any but such
governments as Congress might order
over them.
They make us acknowledge the
right of Congress to deprive native
white men of full age of the right to
vote, at its will, and to compel these
disfranchised whits native citizens.
without representation in their Gov
ernment, to obey laws aud submit to
authorities imposed upon them against
their wills, either by Congress or by
the votes of crowds of dumb, ignorant
negroes, brutalized by their former
condition in slavery, knowing none
or the duties of uie citizen and obey'
ing the single instinct to vote as their
new masters, the Radical leaders, may
aictate,
In recognizing the validity of these
amendments, aud in pledging our
party to the execution and enforce
ment of them, we acknowledge Con
gressional reconstruction fully, against
wnicn we nave contended with brave
and hopeful hearts, as a party, for five
years, we give up tne oia Jonstitu
tion, the reserved rights of the States
the dearest right of the native white
man his suffrage and surrender ab
solute power to Congress, to destroy
States, to take away theirsovereignty
to nullify their Constitutions, to denv
to them and their people the rieht cf
sen government, to put over them
loreign rulers, to control them by
swarms or newiy-maue Darbanan
voters, to abolish their courts and an
nul their laws, substituting therefor
the arbitrary will of Congress and of
its military satrans.
itesistance to all of these laws dur
ing their accomplishment, which are
now acknowledged to be ritrht or

Groesbeck, Ewing, Campbell, Ward
and a host of others, who may well

Why use the cant, senseless phrase,
"dead political issues?" No conven
tion of men ever were able by words
to bury a political question so long as
it touched the hearts of the people, or
agitated tne niimis or men. An in
stitution like slavery might cease to
exist, but a principleof government or
political action never ceases to be of
interes-t to a free people and to-day,
although slavery, the institution, is
dead, one of its consequences, rebel
lion, is as niueli the right of an
oppressed people as when Moses re
belled against Fharaon, or our fathers
against the British crown.
If it lie true that the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments were made
parts of tlie Constitution by fraud and
lolence, and are therefore, revolution
ary and void, as the great body of the
Democratic party believed, it is not
certain that if that party came into
power so as to control legislative bod
ies of the State aud nation it would
hoose no man to a legislative office
who would not be true tothis idea and
ii exercising his rieht to jndge of the
election and qualifications of members
i me body he belonged to, would ne
not lie hound to exclude any claiming
lection or oualitication u inter these
void amendments?
Equally utiisipular is tlie rhetorical
xpreHMiou of our cloouent leader. Mr.
JriMKheek, that "war legislates" in
ie Meiise that shallow politicians have
Kl.vcii It. War, the ultima ratio of ty
rant, "legislates" Keuerallv as the
linqiot tin. It is the law of brute
force, aud In its own exeeutive,and he
who is quoting this expression thinks
means that a free'people are bound
acquiesce in and approve the des-
iwitic "legislation" or forced results
war, forgets the thrill of iov
and Iiojhj tliat flashed through
the country when our supreme ju
diciary wiped out war's fearful
crime in "legislation" which filled
the prisons of the land with offense-.

less and defenseless citizens, arrested
and confined under war orders. War
is ever savage and cruel, and when it
"legislates,"its enactments are brutal,
and must cease to have effect when
ever peace returns to permit freemen
to deny their validity.
This theme is too great tor lengthy
review in a communication like this.
I have but suggested a few salient
points to awaken the attention of the
people. The Democratic party has
been stunned and paralyzed by the
strange action of its convention, and
as yet no one has spoken out to relieve
its apathy.
I take this opportunity to send out
this note of warning, availing myself
of the chance your letter has given me
of making my response more signifi
cant, by reason thereof, than if I had
volunteered to address the public from
an individual standpoint.
With hope still for the future of the
great party of defense of the rights of
the citizen, and of the separate States,
and of the only true Lnion. as the
fathers made it under their old Con
stitution, I am, with great respect,
yonr obedient servant,
JOHN M. CONNELL.
KU-KLUX DIABOLISM.
The Congressional Committee in
vestigating the Ku-Klux villainy a
sub-committee in Washington, and
another sub-committee in South Car
olina have now been in daily session
more than two months, and have had
before them many scores of witnesses
from all sections of the late Insurrec
tionary States men of both high and
humble station Presiding Elders,
Preachers, ex-Members of the Federal
Congress,and ex-Members of the Con
federate Congress, ex-Generals of both
Armies, Governors and ex-Governors,
Judges, Solicitors, Sheriffs, Revenue
Officers, Officers of the Army, Post
masters, School Teachers, Repentant
aud Non-repentant members of Ku
Klux Klans, and dozens of their
maimed and suffering victims, black
and white.
And what has this patient and thor
ough investigation established and
established beyond all future cavil and
question ?
1. That in all the late Insurrection
ary States, and generally diffused,
though not found in every County, is
an oath-bound bee ret organization,
working only at night, and its mem
bers always in disguise, with Officers.
Signs, Signals, Passwords, Grips, and
all the necessary paraphernalia, with
the Pledged and Sworn purpose of put
ting down iheEcpublican and putting
vp the Democratic party ; known in
different localities among the initiated
by different names, but everywhere
recognized by the general cognomen,
"Ku-Klux."
2. That the organization came Into
being a few months previous to. the
last Presidential Election, during
which canvass it was in its most vig
orous condition, but is now through
all the South, wifcfa more efficient dis
cipline and effective direction than ev
er, reviving in preparation of the next
Presidential campaign, when, as they
told one of their victims in Tennessee
a few weeks since, "no d d Radical
voting is to be allowed in any South
ern State, by black or white."
3. That this Ku-Klux organization
is the premeditated and determined
scheme for carrying the South at the
next election of President, and so, by
securing the entire electoral vote of
that section, make sure the election of
the Democratic nominee.
4. That the officers and establishers
of these 'IDens" (as they appropriately
call their separate bands) are the lead
ing and active Democratic politicians
of the South.
5. That the scheme has the hearty
good-will of a large section of the
Democratic Party in all those States,
and acquiescence of nearly the entire
Party.
6. That the direct and chief purpose
of tlie organization, as sworn by all
the Victims, as the assertion uniform
ly made to them by these midnight
assassins, and corroborated by the
universal testimony of the repentant
and divulging members of the Order,
is this: The putting down of the
Republican and the putting up of the
Democratic Party.
7. That while the Democratic and
Ku-Klux Witnesses on their direct
examination usually deny the political
purpose of the Order, asserting that
the Ku-Klux are a social necessity
growing out of the abolition of the
oldPatrol ; thmt they hm to ride the
country to "keep the Niggers in their
place;" that under the influence of
Iladical Legislation and Methodist
Preaching the Niggers are liable to be
come saucy." and without an occa
sional Ku-Klux visit would "begin . to
think themselves as good as white
folks;" and that these frequent flosr-
gings, and an occasional murder, are
necessary to maintain such a state of
morals among the Blacks as will per
mit the vice-liatinsr Whites to live in
their neighborhood ; yet, on the cross
examination, these Witnesses also
very generally, as well as very re
luctantly, confess that the intimida
tion of Republican voters is a promi
nent and not to be regretted result.
8. Tliat to secure this purpose, the
putting down of the Republican and
the putting-up of the Democratic
Party, Intimidation is the grand
measure the intimidation of Republi
can voters, black and white, but
especially the humble and defenceless,
dv 3imnight iiaids; by .Burning
Houses and Stores, and the Destruc
tion of Crops ; by Wuippinrrs of such
extreme cruelty as often to end in
Iieath ; by most indecent and painful
Maiming; by Assassination and Mur
der in such cowardly manner and with
such hellish device as may strike ter
ror into whole counties, and bring
down the Republican vote from two
three thousand to less than a single
uozen.
9. That "School-teachers." aud
"Preachers of the Methodist Church
North," seem to be the especial abhor-
ance or inese democratic Assassins
and hundreds of School-houses and
Methodist Churches have been given
the flames; and Christendom will
stand aghast when it is made known
the scores of School-teachers and
Methodist Preachers, who, by this
Democratic agency, have been, with
inese tnree years, w hipped ! Shot
Hung ! and, in some instances, it i
believed, Burned at the Stake !
10. That in nearly one-half the
States of the Union this work of hell
now going on, night by nieht ev
ery month extending the range of its
uioooy operations, ana learlully mui
tiplying the number of its victims !
10. That it is solely and immediate
in tha service of the Democratic
Party a large portion of the party
ooum neanny approving large num
bers of the party North attemDtinsr Its
palliation by excuse, and its shelter
irom scorn Dy covering np or denying
crimes, as ii cowaraiv Assassina
tion could be palliated, and brutal
Murder excused and the Democratic
Party throughout the land rejoicing
its promise to help. So, either by
open and acknowledged action, or by
less criminal and the more coward
uarticiDation of extenuatiner and
shielding the crime, the Party, South
North, become before the people
before God equal sharers in the
responsibility.
Out of the mouths of more than two
hundred Witnesses is every syllable of

The New York Frauds.
A New York correspondent of the
Chicago Journal writes as follows :
Between twenty and thirty persons
have been discharged from the con-
troller'a office during the past few
weeks. One of these persons who had
access to all the secret books, took
copies of everything, when he found
he was going. He afterward offered
sell these evidences of guilt to the
man mgersoii, who is so heavily
implicated. The offer was declined,
doubtless because Iugersoll thought it
would be no use to buy one set of
copies as the fellow doubtless had an
other. For the same reason, proliahly,
others of the ring to whom they were
offered declined to buy the documents,
when the possessor himself brought
them to the Times office.
I hear to-day that two individuals
connected with these rascalities who
fear criminal prosecutions, have
expressed a desire to turn state's
evidence. One particularly is report
ed to have done so. Unquestionably
there will be many persons who will
seek to avoid punishment in this
manner if prosecutions should I
commencee, and then what disclosures
shall have !
This will be an interesting matter to
discover. The opinion now prevails
that much of it has been used for
campaign purposes. As you are
aware, large sums have been distrib
uted by the ring every year through
the state to carry the Senatorial and
Assembly Districts. Time and again
they have sent So, 000 or 10 OuO here
or there to buy votes or to corrupt
election officers. Frequently they
have sent money into other states.
Your readers will remember Governor
English's dispatches last year to Boss
Tweed, soliciting aid for Connecticut.
Did You Ever.
Did you ever see a chimney-sweep
with his shoes blacked ?
Did you ever get an omnibus to stop
exactly where you wished it?
Did you ever know a lady with a
wasp-like waist whose disposition also
was not rather waspish?
Did yon ever meet an alderman who
was a vegetarian ?
Did you ever know a baby that was
not considered the "sweetest ever
born," and "so like" somebody or
other, to whom you cannot discover
an atom of resemblance ?
Did you ever meet an Englishman
abroad who did not seem to think
that he lost caste by speaking civilly?
Did you ever hear a modest man
propose a toast without regretting that
had not been placed in better
hands ?
Did you ever come home late, and
try to get to bed witiiout anybody
hearing you, when the front door did
not bang, and every stair explode?

FOR GOVERNOR OF OHIO.
GEORGE WASHINGTON
The only thing in the way of suc
cess that we can see, is some in
judicious person might relate the story
of the hatchet aud ciierry tree, and if
G. W. couldn't tell a lie, it might hurt
him a little among some of the leaders.
An old dyed-in-the-wool democrat,
Col. (Jonnejl, of Lancaster, O., writes
to Judge Tliurman, declining to enter
the state canvass liecause the party is
in a false position in two respects ; first;
has Col. George W. McCook for
standard bearer, whereas Gen. Ewing
received a majority of the votes of tlie
convention; and second, by tainting
the platform with the so-called new
departure declarations, affirming
things which all sound democrats
hold subversive of the constitution. A
supposititious candidate and a false
platform arc a little too much for Col.
Connell.
