Nominations of the State Convention
The nominations were judciously and happily
made. Judge Bowen, of Marion, has for some
fourteen years, been an ornament TO the Com
mon Pleas Bench. He bears the marks of the
slave despots upon his person, for as long ago
as 1880 he was mobbed for his humanity TO-.
wards fugitive, not from justice, but from the
"sum Of all human Vlales." His nomina-
ton for Supreme Judge was claimed by the
North West, new region of the State, from
which the shackles Of Locofocoism and pro-sla-
veryism have so nobly been shaken off.
Josiah Scott, Of Butler, for the long term on
the Supreme Bench, is nomination eminen,y
fit to be made. He is not only legal gentle
man OF extensive acquirenents, industry, and
sound judgment, but he is an honest man,
whose heart beats in the right place. The
south west had strong claims for the nominee,
and the Miami tribes will roll up magnificent
majority for Scott and the ticket
The Rev. Anson Smyth is just the man of all
others in the State for the important post o.
School Commissioner. He is sound, practical
man, devoted to the cause of the peoples Col
lcges, and will correct the abuses of the Common
School system which have so impaired its pop.

He has acquired good reputation as the head
of the Common Schools in Toledo; has haC
very much experience in the workings of the
School Law, and was last winter invited by the
teachers of the State to take charge of che edi
torial department of the Ohio Journal of Edu'
cation.
John R. Waddel, Of Ross, is practical en-
gineer, we'll qualified in every respect for an
efficient and valuable member of the Board oI
Public Works. He is we'll known and very
popular in the Scioto Valley, and the men OIL

And midst the many dangers led

In the souls sacred chambers Of light,

Gliding all lfe's dull work and weariness;
And turning December to May.
