STILL MORE CONTRADICTORY RI
s's MORS,
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1867-06-11
The Reason Why?

EThe Dayton Journal has the last word in
reference to whether General Schenck is,
or is not, candidate for Gubernatorial
honors. 1t says I'VE are in position to
state that the name of Gen. Schenck will be
withdrawn if it should be presented by the
1 Convention"
A correspondent of the Columbus Journal
writing from Steubenville, says:
81 am decidedly opposed to seeing the
Third District represented in Congress by
Clement L. Vallandigham or one of his
followers, and if Gen. Schenck resigns
those best informed think it among the
possibilities, if not probabilities, that such
will be the result. The same might be said
of General Hayes and the Second District,
except that he is not Gen. Shenck's equal
in ability, and is not so generally and ia
vorably known outside, perhaps, of C1ncin-
NATL" E-.Eh. h...Ir E.t
The Journal admits the fear of SCHENCKs
District, in case OF his resignation, being
represented by a Democrat, in the follow
ing:
"Some suggestions about the Governor
ship are made by correspondent from
Steubenville Whatever the fact may be
with regard to Gen. Schenk's District, our
correspondent need not doubt the ability
of Hayes District to return Republican
successor. His majority was 2'55s." at
Will the Jo,rndEialiow us to whisper in
its editors ear that. 55S majority in
Hayes District is but small affair, and
one easily overcome, in 1.-THE great revolu-
ton which the country is now in the
midst of, and which will sweep the party
at present in power into minority
to blot out the memory of which will force
them to change their names, and to make
many of them swear that they never had
confidence in THAD. STEVENS, and always
opposed Negro Suffrage.

a Radfcal Boast Proven False.

Mr.. NIXON, the leading Radical in the
Legislature from Hamilton county, while
endeavoring to fasten the Metropolitan
Police Law on Columbus, and to prevent 1t
from being imposed on Cincinnati, said the
latter was Republican city, and of course
was we'll governed; while Columbus being
Democratic city, was ill governed. 1t was
rule, he said, without an exception, that
under Democratic rule all cities were bad
ly governed, and required Legislative in
reference to save the people from misrule,
while all experience has shown that all cit
les governed as was Cincinnati by Repub-
licans, were governed wisely and well.
Bearing this assertion in mind, the follow
ing from the Cincinnati Commercial of the
9th instant, is refreshing:
"Complaints are made that the people of
Cincinnati are tardy and illiberal in aiding
great public enterprises in which they are
concerned. Perhaps, If close investigation
were had it would appear that much of this
illiberality arises from inability that is the
consequence of the excessive Ia aXation that
is required to produce the immense arms OF
public money recklessly voted away"
I'm the aoorst days of the Democratic party
rule, the city government tcGs not more profit
oately administered than it is Tlolo and our
City Council goes on needless and headlong,
appropriaring the public money with an
easy. scorn of expenses, and acting upon the
spenuthrift maxims popular with those
who are squandering the money of others
and have no sense of moral responsibility"
This, from a Radical Abolition sheet,
shows that if the city of Cincinnati, gov
erned entirely by Republicans, does not re-
quire the aid of a Metropolitan Police, the
City Council does need majority of honest
men to take care of the interests of the
CITY.

A High Compliment TO One of the
Democratic Nominees from a Re-
publican Source.

A High compliment ~ OhO % eHC
Democratic Nominees from a Re.
publican Source.
Pending the contest for Representative
at the Democratic primary election, the
STATESMAN, as matter of right and expe-
diency, took no part in, and on all occa-
siops refused to open its columns to the
praise or censure of any candidate.
Among the communications which we re-
fused to publish, was the following, writ
ten and handed to MS by strong Republi-
can, who had, through evil and through
good report, stuck to the party, and with
tongue and pen defended it. 1t pays a
high and just compliment to Mr.. Ross,
whose selection for Representative the
writer urges. Coming from the source it
does, it is compliment of which the can
didate for Representative may we'll feel
proud. The selection of Mr.. Ross by the
aDemoeracy,.o course does away with the
objection to publishing it:
EDITOR STATESMAN: We desire a brief
space in your paper to say few words III
regard to the election of a member of the
House of Representatives for our county. 1t
has been some time since the city has had a
member of either branch of the Legislature.
Now, we are certainly entitled to Repre-
sentative, and the question is, who shall he
be? We want there gentleman OF trust,
perseverance and ability. Such man is
William l.. Ross. He has been presented
to the Democracy of Franklin county
without any agency of his own, and has
not sought the position. We do not, and
would not, say word against any other
person who is named for the position, but
we feel it duty to urge upon our citizens
the name of Mr.. Ross, for their earnest
support. He has all the requisite qualifi-
cations. AS member of our City Coun-
Gil, he has shown superior ability. His
efforts to defeat the Metropolitan Police
law, deserves the gratitude of the people,
and most certainly he deserves to be re-
membered for it. MANY CITIZENS.
