says the editor, we have heard, was one Of
Gen. Jackson's Western States. Governor
Ray is reelected also.
--oOo~--
At the last Presidential election, Ohio
polled 5000 votes, OF which Gen. Jackson
had l3,429. In the Congressional elec-
tons of 1896, the administration candidates
received a majority of 81 $50 votes over
those ofthe Jackson party. Yet some OF
the opposition papers-pcrhaps all OF them
would fain induce their readers To be-
lieve that Ohio will assuredly give her vote
for Gen. Jackson. We know of no bet
ter answer to this idle boast, than to OPP
pose it to the facts we have just stated and
leave the people to draw their own infer
ences as to the probable course Of the state
at the next election.-lN Nat Jour.
