The New York Evening Post well SAYS. it is
not always thought piece OF good luck to a
man to have creditors to owe money, that is

duccd him to decline the nomination of the
democrats in Ohio for Governor.
The chief features of the Ohio Democratic
platform are, a plain and naked assertion that
the debt ought not to be paid in gold, and
| demand that the bonds shall 10 taxed; two
measures which, if they could be carried,
would break every savings bank in the coun-
| try and rob millions of the industrious poor of
their earnings. In this state alone, the savings
bank hold nearly fifty seven millions of United
States bonds. Dishonor these. as the Ohio
Democrats propose. and sorrow, loss and desti-
tuition would come to thousands Of widows, or
phans and industrious working men and wo-

Democrats had the auda ity to commend in
their platform the acts of the last legislature,
notorious as the most wasteful aud shameless
| " corrupt Ohio has ever had.
| On such platform, mixture OF covert dis
| honesty and open corruption, General Rose
Grams could not well stand and it will crafty
