The GubermatOrfal Contest Inn
/ brOsliO. b.
While there is no man of any note in the
party calling itself Republican, who really
wishes to be nominated for Governor, for
the reason that defeat is certain, sure and
inevitable, yet there are men spoken of
that prominent members of that party Bit
terly oppose being placed at the head OF
the Ticket. a-r a. t-
For time it was thought that Gov. Cox
would be forced on the track by the ele-
ment in Southern Ohio, who fear the Ne
| gro Suffrage issue. This induced the friends
of Gen. ScHENcK 10 insist upon his being a
candidate, and he consented upon the con-
dition that his name alone could defeat the
movement of those in of nominating a
Conservative candidate in Southern Ohio
This was blow aimed at Cox. Fearing
that ScHENcK might fail, as he did at
Vienna, when he dumped his command
into Secesh battery, the Cleveland Leader,
the ultra Abolition organ, checkmates the
movement in favor of Cox by the follow
ing: -.ss
ave are happy to state-and we do so on
the best duthority-that Governor Cox is un-
qualifiedly in favor of equal suffrage in the
South and in Ohio. and that, if nominated,
he will support BOTH"

that his "Excellency" has "'bouted face"
on his Oberlin Letter, and is now pledged
to Negro Suffrage, it effectually kills off the
movement in Southern Ohio in favor of
! nominating a conservative candidate tor
Governor, who might receive the votes of
anti-Negro Suffrage Republicans.

of Gov. Cox, the AsIatabula Sentinel whose

Cox, because he hasssno "that towering

candidate ought to have, and which, the

In further aid of the effort to defeat the
denomination of Gen. Cox, the ultra Abo-
litionists who think that the negroes did all
the fighting during the war. and are conf

islature last winter, more than intimated,

noble or sensible, can come from a man,
unless he is in heart or color black, Gen.
HAYES, of Hamilton, was brought promi-
nently forward. In Congress he had voted
to give the negroes of Washington, against
the protest of the Whites-more than one

Congress he was meek and lowly fol-
lower of THADDEUs STEVENS. Such man,
rich, and ready to spend his money, was the
right man, the Radicals thought, to make
the canvass. In Negrodum, he "towered,"
and if elected he would, judging from his
past record. carry out the full Radical pro-
gramme. But all is not gold that glitters,
and all the wool of the country is not con-
fined to the negro's head, and hence,
Republican Wool Grower, of the Western
Reserve, thus gives the party due notice,
they may govern themselves accord

growers will bolt, for the reasons therein
stated:
GEN. HAYES AND THE TARIFF.
ute huttOT ~ WS L6uu0T'
Now that General R. B. Hayes is being
urged for nomination for the office of Gov
ernor of Ohio, it may be as well to state
that whatever may be his general qualifi-
cations for that office, his Congressional
record on the Tariff question would be ia
tai to his success in the canvass. At the
meeting of the Ohio Wool Growers Asso-
citation, in January last, the following res
olutions were adopted by that body:
l,ofo a,,1
presentatives in Congress are urgently re-
quested to exert their influence, by voice
and vote, To secure the passage OF law
which shall embrace the provisions of the
bill aforesaid, in regard to wool and wool
ems, and we shall hold them responsible, to
full extent of their ability, for the accom-
plishment of the same.
80. Resolued, That we remember with
gratitude those members of Congress who
have proved themselves our friends in this
measure, and hereby pledge our opposition
to such members of Congress as shall prove
recreant to the interests of the people as
herein expressed"
Similar resolutions have been adopted by
nearly all the State and local Wool Grow
ers' Associations throughout the country.
Gen. 4. B. Hayes was member of the last
Congress, and with his colleague, Mr.. Egg
gleston, of the same District, failed to meet
the wishes of the people as expressed in
the above resolutions, and therefore be-
comes amenable to the ban therein pre-
nounced.
The wool growers of Ohio are in sober
earnest in this matter, and, as the Lord
liveth, the men who have disregarded their
earnest appeal for protection, in the hour
of need, shall not bear rule over them, by
their own consent. CUYAHOGA.
The Cleveland Leader, from which paper
we copy the above, while still urging the
nomination of HAYES, and protesting ''that
General Hayes would have infinitely less
to do with the wool tariff question as Gov
ernon than as a member of Congress-" at
the same time is forced. to admit that:
''Still it is fact, which the State Conven-
tion cannot afford to overlook, that there
is in the wool growing counties of the
State very wide and deep feeling against
these congressman, of whom General
Hayes was one, who opposed the tariff on
wool in the Thirty ninth Congress-
Without the aid from wool growers OF
the Western Reserve, the woody heads can
have no hope of success, hence it is all day
with those who staked their money on the
nomination of Col. Hayes, as a candidate.
