EgWe have been creditably informed
that at the primary ballotings Of the Ro-
mish Democracy of this city, on Saturday
last, quite anunber of votes were cast for
Rev. Thiepont the Roman Catholic priest
hero. AS the Rev. gentleman was not e.
nally nominated by the Bloomfield conyen-
ton, it is probable these primary votes
were merely pioneers to try how far the
democracy would so in supporting the Ro-
mish church and priests. Probably by
next fall he would stand good chance for

The Press Of Ohio,

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Com
merchl enumerates the papers in Ohio
which supported the Republican nomina-
tions. .....,. ..-....,...
"Being pretty thoroughly acquainted
with the position Of the press in the vari-
Gus counties Of the State, have made an
estimate of the number of papers support
ing Chase and Medill respectively. l find
III Chase and 81 Medill papers. This
may not be perfectly accurate, but it is
very nearly SO. There may be a few more
for Chase; but the Medill papers will not,
l think, exceed the number have given.
In addition to this, the New York Tribune,
which warmly supports the Republican
movement, has circulation in Ohio of II :
900, and the National Era 5000. The
New York Evening Post, which has a
larger circulation in Ohio than any Demo
cratic paper published out Of the Stale,
supports Mr.. Chase. In regard to the fe "
anti-administration papers that withhold
support from Mr.. Chase, 1 would remark
that the Cincinnati Times last year gave
no support to the State Ticket, until within
week or two of the election the Gin
cinnati Columbian, the Dayton Journal
and Germantown Locomotive, occupied
about the same position last year that they
do now. The Cleveland Express has beer
established since last year, and has but /
limited influence. The Cleveland Herald
Cleveland Leader, and German papel
there, all supported the Republican ticket
The Columbus Continental is another pa
per said to refuse to support Chase. Thi
is weekly, recently established. Their
are FIVE other papers in Columbus whicl
support Chase. The Daily Journal, Dali.
Enterprise, Columbian, Elevator, and
German paper. The Newark Times, anoth
er boiling paper, is very weak, edited by
very weak man. 1t could add little strelgt
to any cause, and, understand, new ps
per will soon be started in Newark % ad
vocate Republicanism, and that Lickin
will give large majority to the ticke
The Steubenville Herald, and the PERI
County American, which have been quote
as boiling, are now supporting the Repu
lican nominations and we believe that
number of other papers, now withholdir
support, will come into the support of Il
ticket before the election. f."
