We have looked over the names presented
to the Democracy of Ohio, by the State Con-
vention, says the Toledo Blade, and must con-
fess to little disappointment. The ticket is
not what we expectad. 1t is made up of
hackneyed politicians-men who have been
long in ofice-and who seemingly are nomin-
ated now, by virtue Of prescriptive right
Letthe Democrats Of Ohio look over this tick
ct and see if they can find in it, as a whole, a
fair representation of the principles by which
they claim,to be governed as party. One
would suppose. that they did not know the
meaning of rotation in Office. by the number
of old party hacks which they have nominated.
tits not ticket that the people will regard
with any satisfaction. 1t just such list of
nominations as we should suppose would be
made by convention where every member
was scrambling for the highest Office he could
get. Read the names. Wood, Medill, Bres-
lin, Pugh, BARLEY. Thurman, Caldwell, Miller,
Manypenny. These are names that have been
familiar to the Office holders of the Democrat
.ic party for years, They are brought for the
twentieth time before the Democracy of Ohio,
as if the party had no other persons fit for Of
ce in its ranks, Where is the evidence in this
ticket. that the Democracy respect their sup
porters? Where the proof that they are the
representatives of the people?
Again. The ticket is one of Indifferent
ability. Have the Democracy Of Ohio no bet
ter men-no more talented men to offer the
people for their support? Look at it Com
pare it with the names of the olden time, and
oh what a falling off Gov. Woods the best
man on the ticket, and we always thought
quite as much of his heart as his head, We
are surprised, that with men of the sagacity of
Judge Potter and others, to manage matters
in the Convention, that they did not contriye
to get up stronger ticket, but where all is
a scramble, wise counsellors are not regard

The Democratic papers throughout the
State are evidently disappointed in the nomi-
nations. They do not speak of them with en-
thusiasm-hardly with respect Il is evident
that the party itself feels the need Of purif-
cation. Prosperity has corrupted it We
doubt if among a majority of its mem,
bers the sentiment is not prevalent, that it
needs to be overthrown. We believe that
such men as Senator Myers and Judge Spald-
who have been thrown overheard
and all that class of Democrats whom they
represent, do secretly desire the downfall of
the party. They know that without such a ca
lamity, they cannot rise.
Its evident that the Hunker portion of the
party are aware of the disaffecton which ex
lists, and are anxious 20 subdue it. This con-
vention has revealed to them the fact, that this
disafeciion is greater than they supposed
Hence they have slipped over the comprom-
ise measures without notice either of appro-
val or disapproval in their resolutions. We
do not hear them SO loud in their denuncia-
ton of free-soil democracy as they were be-
fore the convention. There is a disposition to
concede every thing for success.
1t is cheering to look from the broken con-
dition of the Democracy, to the firm and COM
pact condition of the Wings. They have only
to keep together, 10 carry the State trium-
phantly. The result of the Loco State Con-
vention, if it have no other effect, will at least
impart fresh ardor to the Wings, renew their
courage for the conflict and render their rap
idly filling columns more invulnerable than
ever. A thousand omens cheer u.s. The good
Wing cause is successful everywhere, let not
Ohio prove recreant .
