THE NEXT GOVERNOR.

The Portsmouth Tribune comes out for
Hon. H. S. Bundy, of our county, for
next Governor of the State of Ohio.
We have no idea whether Mr.. Bundy
would accept the nomination or not.
If it should be the desire Of large
portion of the party, we rather think he
would accepts but of one thing we are
certain, and that is, he will not seek the
nomination. He Is not the man to in
trigue or work for the nomination.
THERE'S perhaps no man who is more
intimately acquainted with Mr. Bundy
than we are and we k,ioto him to be re-
liable, under all circumstances. We
need just such men for Governors of
each and all of the loyal States. .dT
But here is what the Tribune says:
4 BUSpY FOR oovERSoR.
Without the least idea whether Mr. Bundy
would accept or not, we present his name to the
people Of the State, as an excellent man for our
next Governor. Since the publication Of Mr..
Coxs letter declining denomination great la
mentatiOng are being made by some Of the coun-
try press, for fear another as well qualified, may
not be secured General Cox has undoubtedly
acquitted himself with great honor and as much
distinction as the Office would admit Of II isnot
the most responsible position in the world, nor is
the pay such as first class man ought to receive

gentleman to Gil, whose private duties will ad-
nit OF his spending portion of his time at the
Capitol, without interfering too largely with his
individual business, ......
Without mentioning the usual argument OF 10.
callty. which we consider a very poor one there
are other and sufficient reasons why Mr. Bundy
ls q suitable representative man for the peopeof
Ohio. His political record Is as clean and pure
as any mans In the State, never ultra, nor blgoted
but always true to the spFincples he chose to Ad-
yocate, and never falling 10 chose the right side

House, and his Senatorial district In the Senate of

not abandoned or 'abated his business, to mike

We cannot say, though we wish we could, that
Mr.. Bnndy would accept the nomination, We
know he declined a denomination 10 Congress

fear the same reason may prevent his name from
