Nomination at the Mouth
Of WelEAW Greek.


Of Jefferson county--nominated Mr..
McCausIG, ofthe latter county, as their
candidate for Congress, 10 this district
The nominee 10 the same citizen whose
courage, it is said, @waa Putpo SO severe
test during the last war with Great
Briao, hat he took physic, and made
himself sick, TO avoid draft, calling
! him into the service Of his country
| If, in the course Of"human events" this
said McCduslin should become the re.
preventative Of The l7Ih Congressional
District of Ohio, we shall, we lrusN be
pardoned for expressing the hope, that
he will, at least, make a better Iawgv.
or in 1913 and IA, than he did q soldier
in 1912 and 'l3. In statesman.like at.
tainments, argumentative powers, en-
Heightened and discriminating judgment,
and in oil the qualities that can grace
the representative, or adorn the man
Dr.. Hanna, the Whig candidate, is inf
niteIy superior 10 Mr.. McCauslin; and
nothing but the mere force Of party
drill can possibly secure the eIec
ton OF the latter. In truth, all thai is
necessary to ensure Dr., Hanna's eIec
ton is union OF the opposition to Loco
focoism in this district. And why may
not that union be effected? Or, rather,
will it not be olfectedG Let the friends
of Wing principles see to il, without
delay.
We refer 10 the nomination Of Nc
Causln, at this moment, not for the pur
pose Of showing his after inleriorlly
when compared with DR.. Hanna, but
with The view OF introducing to our
readers paragraph from the Ohio Pat
riol-inended to show up the monstrous
Injustice which was done 10 Dr.. Friss
by the Carroll delegation, al the Yellow
Creek Convention. The Patriot pro
ceeds to set forth the support given to
Fries at the primary meetings, showing
that The Dr.. was first in CO'umbana,
second in Carroll, and third in Jefferson /;
and then follows the subjoined para
graph, cutting and sIashing our quiet,
ino0ensiue and most loving townsmen! --

inp .whsl the Patriot says OF our beloved
fellow citizens Surely, no one will call
in question our great respect for the
persons referred TO, especially, as poll
tical managers. Our good opinion Of
them is OF TOO old date, and too we'll
established, to be shaken by the Ohio
Patriot. We merely quote from that
paper, because its remarks may serve
hereafter
"To point a moral, or adorn tale"
The Patriot spenks thus:
"Such was the state Of affairs before
the convention assemblod-and under
such circumstances, who would have
doubted the right of Dr., Fries 10 no
