EASY LTIyG.-The Ottawa PepU5!i-an,
lacking solid material for attacking the
action of the recent Democratic State
Convention and the nominees, falls natu-

proceeds in this wise:
All the old wise rats, who if there
Were the least chance Of an election. would
have jumped at the opportunity OF no
minat.On for State Office somehow came
up missing At the Convention. Richard
son was too poor TO run t0r Governor;
Buckmaster thought il safest to hold on 10
the Office he holds now; Morrison would
not risk his popularity won by his attack
on Blssell; Goodcll discovered all at once
that he doesn want the office of Secreta-
" Of State and Gen. Fry did not even
show his face at the Convention"
Now, although it is true that the last
two Of the gentlemen here named made
no effort to get a nomination. vet TO say
that Morrison, Buck master, and a dozen of
others did not labor earnestly, and with
all the might themselves and their friends
could muster TO secure nominations, is SO
wide of the truth as to show that while
the editor knew nothing of what he was
talking about, he could lie with facility
attainable only by one of his large practice
IN that way.
