REPUBLICAN STATE COM
VENTI0N,

The Republican State Convention
met at Columbus last Wednesday,
June 23d. 1t was we'll attended, and
characterized by the best of feeling
Says the State Journal-"The Con-
vention was the most orderly one we
have ever attended, and the most har-
monious. Not the least i'll feeling or
bad blood was engendered With
such a beginning the end is made
plain and distinct-a brilliant and COM
plete victory. Hs 1'ai
The following are the nominations
the three first by acclamation-to-wit:
Governor-Gen. R. B. Hayes.
1t. Governor-John c. Lee.
Supreme Judge-Luther Day, of
Portage county. a1
Treasurer of States. S. Warner,
of Lorain county.
Attorney General--Col. Frank B.
Pond, of Morgan county.
Member of the Board of Public
Works-Richard A. Porter, of Stark
county.
This is the ticket of the Union Re-
publicans of 0hio--this is our ticket
and better one has never been pre-
sented to the people of Ohio. All on
the ticket, save one, have been tried,
and have shown their fitness for public
trusts by their honest and faithful
work. Resolutions next week.

re- The Democrats are extremely
anxious that there should be an in
dependent Republican candidate for
Sheriff, this fall. They promise
wonderful things if one can be found
to make the race. The labors of a
certain s'black sheeppee" are all in
this direction. Should one be found
to bite at the bait, he should remem-
Der that it is one thing to promise
and another to perform. The devil
promised our Savior all the posses
sions of the world, if He would but
fall down and worship him, while the
old scamp had not a foot of ground
on the face of the earth. So with
the Democrats-they promise all
that is desirable-votes enough to
elect-while they are almost as poor
in this respect as their great-grand
father was in land.

| The Democratic county convention
last Saturday-it was funeral sure
enough, and very slim attendance of
mourners at that. We went up to the
Court House, after dinner, expecting
to report county ticket, and the other
funny things usual to Democratic con-
ventions in Gallia county. We found
eleven of the unterriGed inside of the
bar, (some more, we suppose, were out
side of the bars in different parts of the
city, supposed to be delegates, and
three spectators, ourself making the
fourth.
After short but painful silence, one
of the eleven, with long drawn sigh,
arose, and, in Tmournful tones, moved
that delegates be appointed to the State
convention. The ten responded, $50
be it," and the chair declared the
thing accomplished. In the same SOL
emn way delegates were appointed to
the Senatorial convention. Then came
mournful and painful silence-their
minds busy, no doubt, with thoughts of
the vanity of all democratic conven-
tions--but the silence and the medita-
tons had an end, and then arose the tall
form of the chief of the tribe--our
neighbor of the Dispatch-and an
nounced that this was busy season of
the year-the people were employed
with their harvest-could not come out
and hence it was thought advisable,
at present, to make no nominations for
county officers, and the ten raised their
bowed heads and cried-Amen. when
they issued their call for this meeting,
the thought that the 96th ofJune would
be busy day-harvest time-did not
occur to them. But when they found
the seats empty--the people not present
then they found it was busy time!
Wonderfully
Thus ended these sad funeral SER
vices. We felt relieved, and we guess
the eleven did.
P. S. Justice requires us to state
that the convention would have been
larger by three, had they not fingered
too long on the "outside of the bar. -
They were just in time to meet the SOL
emn eleven at the door. They saw
gave the silent grasp of the hand--and
then went out and wept.
P. s. ed. We did not count GATES
and GIBSON. They occupied the Hall,
and done the winking. But soon their
eyes filed with tears, at the unpromis-
ing sight, and they wentout and-blew
their noses.

HORRIBLE DEATH.-A sudden and
horrible death occurred at Charleston,
w. Va, last week. A man who made
some pretensions to being a "snake
charmer," was trying his skill upon a
large rattlesnake. He had handled and
played with him some time without be-
ing bitten, when, becoming thus en-
boldened, he placed the head of the
snake in his mouth almost instantly il
bit the charmer's tongue, and in less
than half an hour the man was dead
suffering in the interim the most intense
agony.

For the Gallipolis Journal
Honor to Whom Honor is Due.

AS the time draws near when the
people viii be called upon 70 select
men to fill some of the county and
municipal offices, it is right and
proper for us to consider who those
men shall be, and in doing this there
are several things to be determined.
In the first place we should consiier
who are competent; secondly, who
are willing to serve the people, and
thirdly, who are worthy
Now in this connection we wish to
say y word in favor of one who il
nominated and elected, will come up
to the standard of qualification as
indicated above We refer to Henry
A. Kent, Esq, of Huntington town
ship. Esq. Kent has consented "a
allow his name to come before the
people, first, for nomjnation and If
nominated, fer election for Probate
Judge.
To show that Mr. Kent is WORTHY
of any place in the gift of the people
which he can fill, it is only necessary
to say that he faithfully served his
country as soldier for over two
years, during which time he lost his
left arm. After coming home from
the army he set about preparing
himself for business, with commen-
dable zeal. He attended the Ewing.
ton Academy for several terms, dur
ing which time his success in study
was only equaled by his extraordina-
ry application. He has filed the
Office of Justice OF the Peace for a
considerable length of time, and has
also twice filed the Office of township
assessor. The duties of these offices
he has certainly discharged with
credit the fact of which any one can
be convinced by examining his recent
docket. He does not claim much for
his first official work, but since de,
voting much time and having been
to much expense in preparing himi
self for the duties Of office; his work
will compare favorably with that of
men of greater experience.
If it is necessary to say more for
his qualifications we will let the fol-
lowing from Prof. S. Halliday speak
for itself.
ITO ALL WHOM IT MAY CON
GERM"
Know We, that Henry A. Kent,
bearer hereof, has under my instruc
ton, taken a full course of book
keeping by double entry. By dill
gent application, added to thought
full and persevering turn of mind, his
improvement has been highly salts
factory, until can now without hesi-
tation pronounce him master of the
theory in all its departments; and
doubt not that even by small de-
gree of practice, he would prove q
great acquisition to any party. that
might require his services as a book
keeper.
His moral department. has been
such, as to inspire me with full con-
tidence in him as a man.
Given under my hand at Spring
field township, this 9Th day Of August,
A. D. 1868.
S. HALLIDAY.
In conclusion we sincerely trust
that Esq. Kent may have favorable
consideration, among those whose
duty it will be to represent the vari-
Gus townships. for the purpose of
putting in nomination a candidate
:or the county.
