A Ropnblican's Idea of Schenek.
We reproduce to-day, from the Cincin-
Inatl Commerciolof January ~ 1866, let
ter upon General SCHENcK, written about
the time that the editor Of the Journal was
so warm on the scent for him for the Uni
ted states Senate. This letter was written
| by Republiean-the name Of the author
being In the possession of the Commercial.
ScHENoK's friends made many efforts to
discover it, but did not succeed. II is like
the authorship Of the famous letters OF
JUNIus. II il mystery still. =

sDay t0n." he hit the nall on the head. This
letter, with some help from Dayton in tho
Republican ranks, beat Mr.. SoTssOK out

To Judge from the editorials Of the Day

l United States Senator. This Is not sO
Onr editor, very clever gentleman, It Is
true IL badly afflicted with Seheaek on tAe
brdin; but when yOn count him and half a
dozen ambitious young gentlemen, who
look for the Congregational mantle to fall
upon their shoulders when Sehenok. as
| cends, yea hdce dboUt all who, about here,
l fret themselves much about the Senatorial
SUGGESTIONS.
Tie truth Is tie mass Of the people see
no reason why john Sherman should give
place tn Schenck. lie was an able leader
In the Republican movement when Schenck
was absolutely opposed 20 il. u will not
l do for men who were not Republicans
when John Sherman was denounced by the
South ~ an Abolltionist for being a Re-
publican, 10 question his orthodoxy.
But it is said that Sehenck, from the be-
| ginning, was sound, but that he knew
Fremont tn be an iInpostor; and this Is
given as reason why lac did not join In
the Republican movement at FIRST. That
l excuse will not BE- taken.
| Tot. Schenek knew nd more OF Fremont
than the rest OF us.
| 2d. II he did, ne had no light to de-
nounco the party or stand ont against it's
principles, because nc did not like our
standard bearer. M
| The truth is Schenck was not a republi-
can IN those days.
He bud received the appointment OF
Minister 10 Brazil from Fillmore, and ne
| followed the fortunes OF that miserable
silver gray faction, Ot which Fillmore was
the head, TIL tho rotten concern went nn-
der He stood out In the cold t1l driven in
| by the 'r1St. He stuck to the silyer-gYay
| TIL there was nothing left to stick TO. Was
he not opposed TO the election Of Governor
| Chase, rs well as TO Fremont and Dayton
pidhe eyer come into the party till the
! summer df Liucoln's first election? The
people Of Ohio win not forget Schenck &
positioM toward the Republican party at
| the tive vixen the SOnth in mass was
heapiug conlum0ly upon Sherman. They
| viii not forget that, during the last can
vass for Congress in this dlstFlct, Schenck
had nu word OF commentator for Mr..
| Lincoln, nor that he was one OF the sore
hedds Ia Congress who wished 90 get up
another candidate to supplant Mr.. Lin
coin Ia 1864.
Hut say that Schenck Is now Republl-
can; he has not, and never can have, the
influence that sherman has. He has u pc
Guliar aptitude for mdkin9 eRemies, and for
rejtidtctRy any measures 10 e0Aieh he gives
his support. This cannot be denied. We
choose 3enatOrs for their usefulness. We
want men who will support our principles,
| and who have the potoer 20 curry them Through
SuceessfalIy. What great measure has he

Again: We want man for whom the
people like To vote. Look Mt our election
returns since 1880, and you will find that
Scllenck dl,eavs Tah behlad his ticket. lie
has been drag upon every ticket on which
he has been placed. appeal TO our election
returns in proof OF this. Compare the votes
given to him with the votes for Odlin, Ander-
son. Craighead, Brough and LlncOlnl
But Schenck has really very little iH COM

Just before the electiOn) can give him n
claim to citizenship, then he IL citizen Of

We are tired Of this English Borough
