Ohio Nominations.

The Convention that assembled at
Columbus, Ohio, on June 22d, was very
large and harmonious. The unanimity
of feeling displayed in making nomina-
tons show that the party is in earnest,
and is governed by principles. and not
by personal considerations. Gov. r. B.
Hayes, Lieut. Governor J. G. Lee,
Judge Day, of the Supreme Court, and
State Treasurer Sidney E. Warner, were
unanimously nominated for re election.
Col. Frank B. Pond, of Morgan county.
was nominated for Attorney General,
and Richard r. Porter, of Stark, for
Member of the Board of Public Works,
by ballot. These nominations were af.
forwards made unanimous.

A FRENcHMAN's DEv1cE.-A French
journal is responsible for the following:
In a small provincial town one OF the
residents, NJ A. B., found that his house
was rendered both damp and dark by
the contiguity of large tree which was
inconven5ently near to his windows
He would gladly have it cut down, but
the tree belonged to the commune and
was not to be meddled with. Being a
man of resources, he sent for insertion
to one of the arts Papers the following
paragraph: There is still in existence
one Of the trees Of liberty of the date of
1903. 1t may be seen at X, close to
the house Of NJ. A. B., and the passers-
by reverentially uncover their heads to
this venerable witness Of our grandest
struggles and our most iliustrious vic
tory Three days afterward an order
came from the prefecture In Paris for
the Mayor of x. to cause the said tree
to be cut down--which was according
~ done forthwith.

"Bro Davis is still harping on his

Bird of last week. We learn that the
modest and moderate urgency sharp
ing" we've done, is being responded to
by those who have the means to play
the harp Of a thousand strings and
thus build the railway in question:
Centreville fellow citizens, as soon as
articles of association are prepared, will
each subscribe one thousand dollars to-
wards the project. This is ''harping"
to some purpose. and, adding its volume
pleasant and agreeable harmony. With
a little more of this kind of "harping"
the street railway between the two towns
will be made, sure and certain.

UNCLE Ben WADE.-Who came so
dangerously near being President, is
doing the Pacific Railroad. A cores
pendent says that he is literally inspect
ing the road. When the train is in
motion he sits at the door of the rear
car and watches the track as if he had
lost something valuable and expected
every moment to discover it. On one
occasion, night coming on, Mr.. Wade
ordered the train to run on a siding
and leave his car until morning, as he
was determined to go over the road in
daylight. AS soon as he could see,
special engine was sent up and attached
to his car, and the old gentleman having
properly adjusted his spectacles, set
sail westward.

The decision Of the Supreme Court
on the specific appropriation bill was
not filed until the 10th. They do not
touch upon the quorum question, tho
they permitted it to be argued at length
before them. There is some dissatis-
faction expressed at this course, and
many do not hesitate to say that the
main question has been lodged. AS it
is, there is nothing in the decision be-
yond the statement that the attestation

it was properly passed, and that quo
rum was present, and that they have no

THE PRoHIBIToaY LAW IN MAssA-

Constables are attempting to enforce the
new Prohibitory Liquor Law; through
out the State trouble is still feared;
some of larger places are under heavy
penalties; for a single sale fine of ten
dollars; and twenty days imprisonment;
for next violation, a fine Of twenty dol
lars and thirty to sixty days imprison-
ment; for every subsequent violation a
fine Of fifty dollars and from three to
six months imprisonment. The keep
ing with intent to sell is punished by
ten dollars fine and twenty days impris-
onment. The seller is liable for all
damage done by the buyer and drin ker
when drunk, and any person arrested
for drunkenness can escape prosecution
by appearing as witness against the
person Of whom he purchased the

The ceremony Of dedicating the Sol
diers' Monument at Gettysburg on the
LIST Of July, were grand and imposin G,
and the address of Senator o. P. NOR
TON, was one Of his best efforts. We in
tended to publish it in full in to days
paper; but are forced for want of room
to content ourselves with the three clo-
sing paragraphs, which is sample of
a the repleteness and high character Of the
address as a whole: @t
While we pay this tribute of love
and gratitude to the dead, let US not
. forget the surviving heroes of the bat
tie. They, too, offered their lives, but
the sacrifice was not required. The ad-
miration,s love and gratitude of the ma
ton will attend them as they pass down
the declivity of time to honored graves.
In the evening of their lives, they will
tell the story Of Gettysburg to wonder
ing youth, who will listen as did we,
when our grandfathers told Of Bunker
Hill, Saratoga and Yorktown. Many of
. them are here to-day to review the
scene of their struggle and triumph
How powerful the contrast between now
and then, The dark cloud which over
spread the horizon of the nation is gone
and all is brightness. The sulphurous
cloud of battle, too, is gone, and there
is nothing to obscure our vision of the
field. The dead have returned to dust.
The fields once numbered with bodies
and slippery with blood, are clothed
with verdure and harvest, and to-day
all is peace, beauty and repose.
- We seek not to commemorate tri.
umph over our misguided countrym en-.
It is the cause we celebrate. Our iris
umpl is theirs, and their children's
children, unto the last generation. The
great disturbing element has been re-
moved. Vicious political heresies have
been extirpated. The trial by wager of
battle has been decided in favor Of lib
crty and union, and all will submit The
people of the North and South have met
each other face to face on many field,
have tried each others courage. have
found that they are much alike in most
things, have increased their mutual re-
spect, and are aow preparing to live to-
. gether more fraternally than before.
g The Southern States are rapidly re-
covering from the prostration of the
war, and with their deliverance from
J the incubus Of slavery, with free labor,
j with free schools, with emigration from
the North and from Europe, will soon
attain prosperity and power, ofwhich
they scarcely dreamed in former days.
Their advan cling prosperity is solid and
enduring. We rejoice in it, and partic-
ipate in it, The bonds Of union are
made indissoluble by the community Of
political principles, by the complete
identity of domestic and comm ercial in
terests, and by uniform systems of Las
Dor, of education, and of habits Of
thoughts and action, HENcEFoRrH DIS
UNION is IMPOSSIBLE.
