MINNIE, MY DOLL-wIFE.
She IS fair SO q peach,

She IS fair as peach,
She is light as feather,
And more tuneful her speech
Than all s0rg-birds together;
Her face is delicious,
Bright, modest, and clear,
And she fills all the wishes

Little curls toss and Chamber,
While the thick hair behind
Is Of chestnut with amber;
Her dark eyes are seen
Ever kindiing or dlmming.

Now in tenderness swimming.

And how white beyond telling
While her bust YOU may note
Into womanhood swelling
Like \ bud, newly graced
As tho suns rays unfold Ii;
While so small is her waist,
In apanrsd hands you may hold 1t.

Republican Love for the soldle,

Republican Love for the Soldier.
The Republicans claim that their love
for the soldier is gushing and over flowing:
that by day they plan and by night they
dream how best they may help him along.
There was an illustration of this love in
the Republican County Convention at
GAINESVILLE on last Saturday. Private D.
ZIMMER, a man who did heroic service in
the War in Captain c. HAzLETT's Company,
and who, on the bloody field of Chica-
mauga, lost his right leg by grape shot,
believing in the avowed love of the Repub-
lican party for the soldier, and feeling him
self qualified to discharge the duties of the
office, aspired to the nomination for County
Auditor. He received SO votes, while
stay-at-home Republican, who had for
two terms filled the Office, received 124-a
majority of 35.
Privates do well enough to vote the
Republican ticket, but not an Office car
they have from that party. Did they not
get SIG month in Greenbacks, and was
that not pay enough for doing the insig.
nifcant thing of courting death on the
battlefield? 1t is presumption in them te
think of contesting for nomination to ar
important Office with Republican who
staid at home and endured the hardships
and privations consequent upon fighting
the "enemy in the rear" No; no. Tht
offices are for stay-at-home Republican,
and officers in the army; but not for pri
Yates. Sixteen dollars a month, with de
licious hard-tack, is compensation ample
for the private, in Republican estimation

Thanks, Good Friends.

Subscriptions continue to come in large
ly in excess OF our anticipations, and
by the first of August, from present
indications, the WEEKLY OHIO STATESMAN
will have larger list of subscribers than
any political paper published at the Capt.
tai has ever had.
This shows that the people are arousing
to the Importance of the pending politi-
cal contest-to the importance of nomina-
ting Mr.. PENDLEToN, and of paying off the
public debt and relieving the people from
the oppressive taxation with which they
are cursed. Last year we had to send
out agents over the State, at considerable
expense, to get up large list for the CAM
piign. This years subscriptions come in
voluntarily with more rapidity than they
were sent in by agents last year.
Stop not in well-doing, good friends.
Flood the State with Democratic papers
now. Give your county papers extensive
circulations, and then circulate the STATES
MAN, or any other good Democratic paper.
See to it that every Democrat, and every
doubtful voter, is in receipt of Democrat
ic paper regularly until the election. If
this work shall be done between this and
the first of August, Ohio will be redeemed
beyond doubt.

Ho. tor New York!

There was a meeting at Thurman Hall
last night, to take into consideration the
proposition to join the Cincinnati "Pendie-
ton Escort" The escort" will take par
ties from this city to New York, bring
them back, board them going and coming,
and lodge them while in New York City,
for $40. Persons while in New York City
will have to board themselves, and the
Escort" have made arrangements by
which their members can board themselves
at 60 cents per day.
The following committee was appointed
to receive the names of parties who will
join the escort" at this city: .t
George w. Meeker, c. Loewenstein, JAS
McAlister, M. Trainor, John Geary.
The Escort" will leave Cincinnati on
Tuesday afternoon at o'clock and arrive
at this city about 9 o'clock at night. The
officers of the "Escort" require to be in
formed by Monday morning how many
persons will join the Escort" at this city,
that they may make the necessary arrange
ments for their accommodation.
All persons in this city or in the sur
rounding country desiring to join the 'Es-
cort" will report either verbally or by
letter to the aforesaid committee not later
than Friday evening.
The Committee will meet at Thurman
Hall on Friday evening at s O'Clock, to
make up their report.
Persons all along the Pan Handle can be-
come members of the "Escort" on these
terms by notifying the officers at Cincin-
natl in time.
This furnishes the cheapest means OF at
tending the great Convention that is to
nominate the next President of the United
States-GEoRGE II. PENDLE EToN. Let all
who can go.

Two Extremes Meet-CaIifOrnIa
and Maine.

We have lately had correct illustration
of the general popularity of Mr.. Pendleton,
and how the Democracy of the most remote
States, by common impulse, are demanding
his nomination. Thus in the Bangor
(Maine) Democrat of the 9th, we find in
the proceedings of the Democratic caucus
in Bucksport, Maine, to select delegates to
the State Convention, the following:
"ResolUed, That the Republican Journal
of Belfast, in bringing forward the name
of the Hon. George 81. Pendleton, of Ohio,
as the Democratic candidate for President,
subject to the decision of the National Con-
vention, meets our appreciation, and reflects
the true feelings and sentiments of the De-
mocracy of this section of the State.
"Resolued, That the great mass of the
American people, upon whom the burdens
rest, demand some relief, and they see in
the plan proposed by the Hon. George H.
PendIeton, that which will bring relief, and
ultimately remove our burdens. Let that
policy be adopted, and the Hon. George II
Pendleton be the standard bearer, and the
Democracy will sweep the country from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the
great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico.
"Reso,ved, That his purity of character
and sound craftsmanship eminently qualify
him at this time for that importanG posi-
tion."
By the same mail we received the Ne,c
California Express, published at Martinez,
in the Golden State of the Pacific. That
journal, in alluding to the proceedings OF
the Democratic State Convention called to
select the delegates to New York says:
Enthusiasm was the order of the day,
and everything gave token that the Democ-
racy of California are bound to hold vic
torious bapner in November. Compliment
tary notice was given to Governor Haight,
but there was no mistaking the fact that
the choice of the Convention for President,
as we believe it to be the choice of the
Democracy of the State, is for George H.
Pepdleton, of Ohio"
Thus the extreme Atlantic and the ex-
treme Pacific coast unite with the center
in urging the nomination OF Mr.. Pendle-
ton,-Ptiisbngh Post.

PendIetou i'm PennsyIvania.

The PENDLEToN feeling in Pennsylvania
is beginning to grow fred hot"-as hot
even as in Ohio. The feeling is no longer
confined to Western Pennsylvania; but it
is moving eastward, having already reach
ed even the very precincts of Philadelphia.
Hon. HEIsTER CLYMER, of Reading, Penn
sylvania, is represented by the Pittsburgh
Post, upon "undoubted authority" as SEN
thusiastic for Pendleton."
The West Chester .Jefersonian, Ches-
ter county, Pa, which is near Phila-
delphia, obedienJ to the will of
the people declares that "If the Democrat
ic National Convention are wise, the above
will be the parties in the approaching
Presidential contest. With PENDLEToN,
backed as he is by the tax-paying masses,
on the one side, and GRANT sustained by
the tax-consuming gentry on the other,
the result cannot but be glorious Demo-
cratic triumph unequaled by any since the
great campaign in which old Hickory
and the people were arrayed against the
rag barons' of his day." f-
On the 10th. the Democracy of Venango
county, held their County Convention at
Franklin. The Convention was presided
over by Hon. ARNOLD PLUMMER "a gentle
man, statesman, Democrat and Bond
holder.) A set of resolutions, of which the
following is one, was unanimously adopt
ed:
Resolued, That George n. Pendleton. OF
Ohio, the patriot and statesman, who first
placed himself upon the record as the ad-
vocate of Equal Taxation on all species OF
property, and of the redemption in legal
tenders of the Government Bonds not ex-
pressly made payable in coin, is the unani-
nous choice of this Convention as the Dem
ocratic candidate for President of the Uni
ted States.
The Franklin Spectator, an able Demo-
cratic paper, in commenting on these pro-
ceedings, said:
"The Convention deserves the thanks of
every man in Venango county, at least,
who lives by Industrial pursuits-the me-
chanic, the laborer, for its plain, outspok-
en- language in reference to the bonded
debt, and tor equal taxation on all species
of property. IL is the only political body
in the country which has dared to come up
to this question manfully, and enter its
protest for the Plowholder against the
Bondholder.
There was a significance, too, in the
hearty response from every member, which
greeted the name of George Fl. Pendleton
1t was not SO much for the man-noble
type though he is of the statesman who
guided our councils in the better and pur-
er days-but it was the recognition of a
sentiment that will sweep over this coun-
try next fall, and end in triumph of pop
ular rights over class legislation and the
political quackeries which have so long be-
guiled the people.

We were gratified yesterday to receive a
call from Hon. S. S. BLOOM, of Richland,
and from Col. SAMUEL PIKE, the veteran
editor.
Mr.. BLOOM reported Richland fully Or
eanized and ready to do her full share to-
ward the redemption of the State. Know
ing the man, we know that Mr.. BLOOM
will do his whole duty in the matter.
Col. PIKE brought us good word from
Highland, assuring US that the prospects of
the Democracy are flattering in the high
est. Such news we receive verbally and
through letter from all parts OF the State
and all concur in their testimony that Mr..
PENDLEroN is beyond all question the most
popular man the Democracy can at this
time run for the Presidency.

The Democracy of Richland county held
their primary elections on Saturday, Goth
inst, and on Monday the Convention met
in Mansfield.

Auditor, Marcus McDermott; Recorder,
E. Clark; Commissioner, D. M. Snyder
Infirmary Director, Fayette Thornton ;
Coroner, DIR. W. II. Race.
Hon. Geo. w. Geddis received the entire

no doubt, nominated by the District Con-
vention, composed of delegates from Ash
land, Richland and Morrow counties.
After passing resolutions indorsing the
platform adopted by the Democratic State
Convention, in favor of the nomination of
Hon. Geo. 81. Pendleton for President, and
pledging the Democracy to the united sup
port of the ticket nominated, the Conven-
tion adjourned.
A Central Committee was also elected at
their primary election, one member from
each township and ward, which subse-
quently organized by the election of S. S.
Bloom, of Shelby, Ohio, Chairman, and
Col. Jas. S. Grail, of Mansfield, O., Secre-
tary. Hon. Joel Myers, Col. M. R. Dickey,
Capt. Joseph Gutzweiler, Thos. Mcbride
and S. E. Jenner, were appointed an Exc

A Central committee for each township
was also appointed, so that the Democracy

undoubtedly roll up splendid majority at
the fall elections.
