Cleveland Leader, which said that, although
Mr.! GALLOWAY was in the field as candi-

1.-THE GovERNo RNoRsHIP.-The commenda-
bic ambition of large majority of the
population of Ohio to become next Gov,
ernor of the State does not now seem likely
to be gratited. We have already made the
origiDal observation that the office can not,
for constitutional reasons, be multitude
nously enjoyed; and we may now add that
the 18th OF June Convention Will doubt
less see good reasons for mot nominating
more than one candidate to be elected to
the office. zl---
ut has. not for moment been Believed
by any disinterested and intelligent person
that the masses bf the people would think
of accepting. anyIon of the little four or
five thousand names which have been OBJ
truded in this connection. And the two
or three men of note, as Cox and Delapo,
who have been thus named by their admir-
ing and complimentary friends, can not
have felt, that it was any thing more than
a pleasing f1atterv to say or suppose that
they were the appropriate persons TO select
a standard bearer from in this campaign.
ut has latterly been apparent that the
choice of the press and the people is con-
fined to about five names-Gartield,
Schenck, Shellabarger, Galloway and
Hayes The Union party needs and de-
mands one OF these Inen as its candidate
for Governor 'aa' -tss sa5
s'Gartield is unquestionably the first choice.

magnetism, and a splendid military record.
He would make the campaign a triumphal
procession. He would get more votes than
could any other man in the State. He is
reluctant to permit his name to be used in
the convention; but he would no doubt
sacrifice his personal preference to the pub
lie preference. He should be the nominee.
''Schenck, we understand, peremptorily
declines He would make an excellent
candidate, but as his district is sometimes
supposed to be rather doubtful, it is best
not to admit possible chance for Vallan-
digham8 Democrat to go to Congress from
about Dayton. ,jr s-4 s-, 41
"Shehabarger would be enthusiastically
voted for as Ohio's great Radical leader,
and would make splendid run. But the
Fortieth Congress needs him, and he is
commended for, his determination to re-
main there. f1e. - - ~-''
"Samuel Galloway, then, if the Conven-
tion decide to take a civilian candidate,
ought to be the man. His ability, his
power on the stump, his Radical record, his
lifelong and unrewarded service in the
cause of Republican liberty, constitute high
claims to the consideration of the Conven-
tion. If we can not have soldier with as
high claims as these, then we should insist
on having Galloway.
"But. by concerted announcement of the
two leading Cincinnati dailies, last week. it |
appears that General Rutherford B. Hayes
will permit his name to go before the Con-
yention. General Hayes is a gentleman |
and sehOlor and we are assured by these
papers that he is an able and forcible speak
er. He has brilliant military record, and
is of genial and popular manners. He is |
not so well known as the others named |
but we have no doubt he would make a
good fight, and his nomination would be
acceptable" 9EEs- s.
How beautifully the above snubs Gen.
Cox and Mr.. DEIANo, while saying good
word for GALLOWAY. 1t is nothing more
6 than a pleasing fattery. to sayror suppose
that they (DELANo and Cox were appro-
pirate persons to select a standard bearer
from in this campaign" That is giving
his present Excellency the cold shoulder
with a vengeance.
The Torcblight thinks the Fortieth Con-
gress needs MIR. SHELLABARGER, and hence
he must remain. But does not the Torch
light know that several of the leading g Rad
icals here need the Fortieth Congress, just
as much as it needs SHELLABARGER? Mr..
GALLOWAY would like very much to be
again by being sent back to
that second edition of CRoMwELL's Rump
Parliament. -UFL
