ONO POHITICs. The Ohio Democratic
Convention met at Columbus on Wednesday
last and nominated Gen. Rosccrans for Gov
ernor. Resolutions were adopted favOring the
taxation of U. s. Bonds and their redemption
in greenbacks, declaring that the question of
suffrage belongs to the States, and denouncing
the national bank system. The Republicans
renominated their present Governor, General
Hayes, several weeks ago, so the campaign is
now open in Ohio. The nomination of Gen.
Rosecrans is regarded as a measure of necessi-
ty on the part of the Democrats, rather than
an indication OF preference, for no man in Ohio
has been more abused by the Democrats than
he. 1t was he who sent Vallandigham across
the lines, and it was the Vallandigham men
who nearly created a row in the convention
that nominated him. The Cleveland Leader,
in commenting on the nomination, says:
The Democracy of Ohio seem striving to OBJ
tain victory by complete surrender of their
principles and their policy Theirnomination of
Rosecrans is complete Standardization We
commented upon 1t yesterday morning, quo
ting his celebrated letter to the General Assem-
bly, OF Ohio In denunciation of the peace par
w. Lernaps greater piece OF SelfStultlhca-
ton is found in the nomination of COL John
NJ. Connell, for Attorney General. No man
was more bitter during the war in the denun-
cation OF '.Copperheads" than this same Con-
nell, then Colonel of the 18th Ohio. He was
ceaseless in abusing the Copperhead party,
from Vallandigham down to every man who
supported him. He was the author of the
stirring address of the Army of the Cumber
land to the people of Ohio, written in the Win
ter OF 1868, which exasperated the Democrats
OF Ohio beyond measure.
