When Judge MATTHEWS takes snutf'
Senatorial Democracy sneezes. he Is con
ceded to be the leading young Democrat
| of Ohio, G. z. notify any means excepted.
He is adequate to any ordinary OCCASION
and holds his own in all debates of a leg
islative OF legal character. AS a party
leader, he isup to all the tricks OF the tr@de'
