here to perform duty to their, party and
the country-to represent the wishes Of the
feelings of the 10000 democratic voters
Of Ohio-and they performed their duty
in presenting Ticket which cannot be
beat.
Although the season OF the year was a
busy one, seventy-one counties were repre-
sented by delegates chosen. The Conven-
ton met at 10 O'Clock in AmbOs' Hall, and
having finished up its business, adjourned
before O'Clock each member bearing to his

in the annals of political warfare. Several

at the harmony and good feeling which
marked the proceedings.
Judge JAMES MYERS, of Lucas, the candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor, is a name
familiar to the Ohio Democracy. AS a
State Senator during the stormy session,
when by the aid ofinfamous apportionment
the Wing party sought to PROSTATE the old
Constitution. and to trample it in the dust,
he bore himself as a soldier good and true
AS the Democratic Chairman of the tempo.
rary organization, at the time of which we
speak, Judge MYERS, by his frmness and
decision Of character, and his knowledge Of
Parliamentary law, gave evidence of a high
order Of talent, which his after services Oh

He is Democrat in theory Democrat in
practice. In early life he struggled against
poverty, and is the architect OF his own for
tune, AS Democrat. he is of the radical
progressive school-ever up to the time, but
never beyond. On the subject Of Common
Schools, he is sound and liberal--feeling a
deep and absorbing interest in that clause
of the Constitution which secures 10 every
child in the State the benefits of common
school education.
On that other question of deep interest tc
the people--that Of compelling the Banker
to pay his fair proportion of the taxes of the
government, Judge MYERS is not only right
in sentiment, but has paid especial attention
to it. and woe be to the Whig so fool-hardy
as to meet the Democratic candidate for
Lieutenant Governor on the stump, or else.
where, in debate on this question. His
speeches in the Senate, (Which we may take
occasion to republish) on this question, are
an index of the man-plain practical, and
eminent for the vein of common sense which
pevades their every part. Nominated or
the first ballot, over some OF the best men
in Ohio; Judge MYERS appears before the
people of the State with an endorsement
which must be peculiarly gratifying to his
numerous friends. The enthusiastic feeling
in favor of the nominee. by the defeated
candidates and their friends, gave our Wing
opponents present to understand that in the
coming contest, they would play no laggard
part, but with heart and soul enter into
the contest, and do battle for the whole
ticket.
For School Commissioner, the candidate
nominated is HIRAM BARNEY, of Hamilton.
That he is eminently qualified for the post.
no one will deny. lie is now at the head oil
the Common schools Of Cincinnati and even
the Ohio State Journal acknowledges him to
be "a teacher ef established rcputation!"- -
Deeply interested in the cause of common
schools-talented, liberal and energetic, he
has made himself name and fame in the
cause of education which any man might
envy. His is no narrow. bigoted, or Sec
tior al mind, which would impel him to lend
forts to any creed or religion, or to suffer the
schools under his care 10 be used for any
other than for the education of the youth OF
the State, and with full knowledge of his
talents and requirements, we hold him to be
one of the best qualified men in Ohio for the
post to which he has been nominated and
this opiEion is not ours alone, butt pervades
the public mind, and is the settled conclu-
sion of those whose attention has been turn
to the common school education of the youth
of Ohio.
In every respect we hold Mr.. BARNEY the
equal of Lorin Andrews, in many very ma
ny respects, he is his superior. If the
friends of the latter, who have claimed for
him, to be, par ercellence, the man for the
station, are willing to institute a compari-
son with that of the Democratic nominee,
the.frends Of Hr. Barney are ready for the
trial.
The Democratic Convention pre- sent him
to the people of Ohio as Democrat, and as
a friend and advocate of the school law
The Convention which nominated him, pres
ent him not only as Democrat, but as a
gentleman of enlarged capacity and of lber-
a!y'ews, as one who in every respect is wor-
thy. s.of support--as one who, in an eminent
degree, possesses every qualification for the
post to which he has been nominated
That Mr.. BARNEY will be elected, no one
who knows can for a moment doubt. No
Democrat will Withhold from him their sup

for he has no personal one, who,
feeling deep interest IN the success of the
school law, and anxious to give it a fair trial
in the hands Of its friends, who will vote
for Mr., Barney, not only on the ground that
he is the best qualified man in Ohio for the
post.
The Democratic State Ticket is now
Full--oUR FLAG IS UNFURLED and it will
wave over the ticket until every man on it
