Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1867-11-04

call upon the Democratic State Central
Committee to meet Immediately, and call
the State Convention for the nomination of
State officers, on the glorious Sth of Janu- |
ary. I'm this sign shall we conquer"
In this connection we desire to place in |
nomination, for Secretary of State, on be- |
half of Allen county and the Democracy |
OF the Northwest, the name OF
our present faithful and worthy Clerk |
of the Court of Common Pleas, o. i
E. Griffith, Esq, whose active aud well
known business capacity, especially
fits him for that position. He has been
connected with the Clerks Office in this
county for the past nine years, and so unan-
imous was the recognition of.his abilities
in that position, that although the nomina-
tion was equivalent to an election, he had
no opposition in the Conventions; and this
was also the case one year ago, WGen a
candidate for second term.
His nomination as Secretary-of State
will be earnestly sought by the Democracy
of Allen and by his warm personal friends
throughout the State, as we and they feel
that it would be one eminently fit to be
made, strength to the ticket,and an honor
to the party.

APPLICANTS FOR LEGISLATIVE OFFICES.
We learn from our exchanges that quite a
large number of our editorial brethren are
looking after the loaves and fishes within
the gift OF the Legislature just elected. For
our own part, not being a candidate, we can
contemplate with serene compoSure, the
approaching struggle. We have no favor
ties among the list, although we would like
to see all our Democratic contemporaries
well provided tor. We take the liberty, in
this connection, OF suggesting NJ. l.. Bryan,
of the London Democrat. as worthy of the
highest and best office within the gift of the
II a.srtcl lnf f.t,fr Of f,,..N nt
U. 5. Senator. We do not know that Bryan
is a candidate, but if he should be we stand
ready to deyiate from our position of neu-
trality so lar as 20 urge the peculiar claims
OF our old friend. Besides coming up to the
Jcffersonian standard, Bryan is a good
fellow and whole-souled Democrat, and
we would be glad to see the Democracy OF
the Ohio Legislature, in view of his recent
mistortunes. lend him a helping hand if he
desires an office. The claims Of Mr.. B., as
an oldssand faithful editor, are second to
none, and are deserving of prompt recog-
milton.

sHoNoR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE
Were we called upon for candid opinion
vice in the late political campaign il
Ohio. and who contributed most toward
bringing about the glorious victory b.
which so many true hearts have bee
made glad, we should say, unhesitatingly
and without fear of successful coutradic
tion. that, next to the gallant Jud ge Thur
man, stands the name of John q. Thomp
son, Esq, the gentlemanly, the af
fable, the unswerying, the energeti
John G. Thompson, Chairman of tn
Democratic State and Executive commit
tees. Hehas done more work in a goo
cause than any other man in Ohio, if w
except Judge Thurman, and it is but righ
and proper that his services should be re
membered by the party in time to come
1t there is real hiYh-toned gentleman i

of his office and discharges them wit
punctilious eXactness, and to the entir
satisfaction of every One-it is John {
