phens, C. H. Beach, Wm Humphrey, Edward
West, Edmund Day, and s. Burke, alternates
Addresses were made by Hon. P. Bliss, Prof

spirited resolutions were adopted, among them
one heartily endorsing the course of Mr.. Bliss
in Congress, Mr. Garfield in the Ohio Senate,
and Mr. Monroe in the House.
Lrcas CoUNrY.-The Republicans of Lucas
County held Convention ON Saturday, and aP-
pointed Lyman Parcher, J. NJ. Ashley, and
Samuel r. Reed delegates to the State Conven-
ton. Delegates were also appointed to the
Congressional Convention. and resolution was
passed approving Of the course of Mr. Mott, the
excellent Representative in Congress from the
Toledo district
PoRrAsE CoUSTr.-The Republicans of Port
age appointed Abram G. StreatOr, J. S. Herrick,
o. P. Brown, Joseph Angel, and A. P. Single
tary, delegates to the State Convention; and
Hiram Giddings, E. B. Taylor, Albert Austin,
E. L. Williams, and L9ra Case, substitutes
AsHrAsuLA CouNrY.-The Republicans of

The initiatory steps were taken tD have the
Republican nominations made this fall in Ash
tabuIa county by the Republican voters at an
election to be held in the several townships on
the 4th of September, the persons receiving the
highest number Of ballots cast TO be the nomi-
nees. This popular vote system has been IN
vogue with both parties in many of the coun-
ties Of the State for years past, and is deserved
ly and rapidly growing into fa'or. County
Conventions have too ireqently become the
mere instrumentaIities of office seekers to fost
themselves into fat places, and are packed by
wire-workers and bargain and sale politicians
a. certainly and eoOlly as the gambler stocks
his cards. County-se4t cliques lay their wires
in the townships, the mass of voters of the par
ty neglect to attend the primary meetings, and
automatons are sent to the convention to rat
ify what the clique long before had Parcelled
out among themselves, taking at least the lions
share.
There is some trouble and labor attending
the popular vote plan of making nominations,
but, where once adopted, Convention nominal
tions are ever after discarded. The Democrats
first introduced it in some of their strong coun-
ties, and their rule is to let no man vote who
viii not pledge himself to support the ticket
thus fairly nominated. The Democrats have
found the popular vote plan harmOnizing and
party strengthening system, and Republicans
might profit by and add to their majOrities in
most counties by following their example

THE PESITESTIARY MuRDER CAsE.-The case
of the State against Myer for killing Neville in
the Ohio Penitentiary on the 29th of May last,
was commenced before Judge Bates at Colum-
bus on Monday. The case it will be recollected
was a very fragrant and improved one, and the
defence set up is insanity. The counsel assign
ed the prisoner, Judge Warden and H. C. No

prisoner declines communicating with his st-
tOmeys concerning the offence. 1t is hardly
probable that the insane dodge viii save the

DErRo1r WooD TRADE VERSUS CLEvLANn
Coal TRADE-The Detroit Tribune gives some
figures showing the increasing importance Of
the wood trade of that city, much of it too at
the expense of the Cleveland Coal Tale. It
st ties that the boats belonging to three lines OF
propellers running to Detroit-the Western,
American, and N Y Central-consume at the
rate Of 10, 600 cords month, at cost of sI7,-
600, all supplied from Detroit, or at points west
of that port. To supply the amount gives en-
ployment to 100 men and 25 scows. The wood
is brought from the hundreds Of creeks which
fiow into the main channel from St. Clair river
to the head of Lake Erie. The Tribune says
Until this season, propslleEs have not derived
their supplies from this source, bat have used
coal altogether, shipped from Cleveland hither.
Estimating the season Of navigation to include
only seven months in the year, il will be found
that the handsome sum Of 600, which for
merly had 20 be sent abroad to supply the above
named three pTOPsller lines alone, is now paid
out at home This is protecting "home inter-
ests' to some purpose.

c.nd,date for supre me Judge.

Ep,roR LEADER Our State Convention for
nominating suitable candidates for the several
Offices to be filed at the October election is near
at hand, ard i. behooves the delegates thereto
to be careful TO make such nominations as viii
secure the confidence and hearty cooperation Of
the voters. This doubt not is their honest in
tention, and they will therefore excuse one OF
the people for reminding them of it. The most
important office to be filled this fall is, doubt
less, that of Judge of the Supreme Court, for
that Court can, to some extent, annul that un-
constitutional party legislation which LOeOfocO-
ism always and everywhere seeks to accomplish
at whatever injury to the interests Of the Peo-
pie.
Several good names have already been meD-
toned for that Office from our own county as
well as from other parts Of the State, and It Is

fair fame Ofeither of those gentlemen, that
