the manner in which candidates are thrust for
ward before the people, is not generally known.
In order that may not seem to be severe upon
some gentlemen Of the Press viii suppose .
case, and by this means show how candidate
making is done, and also how it happens that
some very unknown persons spring into notori.
ETY. to the boundless surprise Of every one who
knows the parties thus hoisted to the pinnacle o
fame. do this the more readily, because tht
process of which am going to speak requires
no talent to perform It Itisvery simple and i
very often successful. 1t is the plan by which
reliable and good men are thrust aside to make
way for INSCRIPTIONS Adventures and soulless
politicians, whose cravensh submission to the
party eleyating them is the sole condition on
which such elevation can be obtained
do not say that this submission "suffereth
long aud is by any means kind, after power
is obtained. To the great horror Of those who
expectit, it often turns into downright rebellion
and instead Of submission, the proudest defiance
is hurled into the face of those who, according
to contract, had right to expect otherwise.
very pointed illustration of this kind may
be seen in the course pursued by the State Leg
islators elected from the county Of Cuyahoga.
When nominated, it was fairly understood by
those making, as well as those receiving the
nomination, that one condition was the support
that the nominees were to give 10 the reelection
of the Senior Senator of the State to the Uni
ted States Senate. Instead of support these
Legislators now present the most decided oppo-
sition.
But, Mr.. Editor, did not intend TO write a
homily on the treachery Of Legislators. Nordid
l intend to ramble away from the suppositior
which / started out to make, to bring myself ur
to a standing position among the short-coming'
of Cuyahoga county Legislators; yet while il
this county will commence anew on my sup.
position. Let us suppose that there is paper
published in said county; and such a thing is
perfectly supposabe. We will give it a very
honest and almost Quakerish name. Letus call
we have one of the most attractive, and to all
honest people most seductive names ever given
to paper. Now let us find an editor whose
moral and intellectual capacity shall be worthy
of guiding the paper aforesaid,
He must not be vulgar in thought, word o.
deed. He must be equally pure profanity i
concerned. The nearest approximation that h
dares make towards ntemperance is to own
vineyard. Having procured such a man TO b
our Editor. Let US show how he may procee
by means of the most doubtful species of Plai
Dealing to thrust some particular erony of hi
own before his readers and the State at large a
most desirable candidate to be run at the mex
election.
! 1t makes no difference whether this man i
well known or not, the plan about to be pursu
ed by our Plain Dealing editor will, withou
/ fail, cause him to be well enough known.
Governor is wanted and the most available mar
must be selected. 1t may not be amis to say
that our editor does not belong to the leading
party of the State, and as a matter of cours,
sees the necessity for an extra effort Our ed

that too without the help of any catawba from
