lumbus on Wednesday of last week, and nomi-
mated the following ticket:
For Governor, Gen. Rosecrans, of Hamilton
county, Lieutenant Governor, Il. j. Godfrey of
Mercer: Judge of Supreme Court, w. j. Gil
more of Preble; Treasurer, Stephen Buhrer, of
CuNahOga; Attorney General, John NJ COnneIl
of Fartield Board OF Public Works, Ben. P.
Churchill. Of Hamilton.
With the exception of Gen. Rosecrans and
Col Connell, nobody ever heard of the men
composing this ticket. l regard the nomina-
ton of Gen. Rrosecrans as Tie most unfortunate
thing which tie Democracy ever lid. He was
a brave soldier, and has an excellent military
record. Hence the copperhead Democracy de-
splse him. Here they are running for Governor,
a man who did all he could 10 thrash their par
ticular friends the rebels. Many of them will
not vote for any Union soldier much less so
good soldier as Gen. Ro5ecrans. No Republi-
can votes will be caught by this soldier dodge
This has been tried several times, and has al
ways failed
The religious principles ofa candidate should
no longer be brought into politics; but the De-
mocracy no doubt thought that the nom nation
of so notorious Catholic would aid them.-
They forgot that all the Catholics vote their
ticket any way, and that there are hundreds,
thousands, and even tens Of thousands of Prot
estont Democrats who will never forget the per-
secutons Of the Catholics and who win quietly
scratch off the nvme of the brother of Bishop
Rosecrans.
The platform is funny. Here it is:
Res0 tred That the exemption from tax of over
Two thousand five hundred millions of dollars
IN Government bonds and securities is unjust to
the people, and ought not TO be tolerated; and
mat we are opposed to any appropriation for
the payment Of interest on the bonds
until they are made subject to taxation.
Resoired, That the claim of the bondholdcrs
that the bonds which were bought with green
backs, and the principal of which is by law pay
able in currency should nevertheless, be paid in
gold, is unjust and cXtOrti0natc, and if persisted
in will inevitably force upon the people the
question Of reputation.
, ReSolccd, That we denounce the high protect
I've tariff, which was designed only in the inter
ests OF the New England manufacturers; that
said tariff Is also by It's enormous mpositiOnS on
salt, sugar, ten, coffee, and necessarics unendu.
, Iable; oppressive especially upon the people OF
The West; and that we demand its repeal and
The substitution of mother, based upon revenue
principles alone, upon the closest possible ap.
Proclamation TO absolute free trade.
, ReSolged, That the Democratic party of the
United States have always been permanently
friendly to the rights and the interests of the Ia
boring man. that they are in favor Of limited
number Of hours in all manufacturing work
shops, hours dictated By the physical and men
tai welEbeing of the abOrer; that they favor the
most liberal laws in regard to household and
homestead exemption from sale and execution;
that they are also in favor Of liberal grants of
y. land from tha Oublip domain IN nntuot
without any cost, and are opposed to the dona-
ton OF them TO sWindllng railroad corporations:
and that they are generally friendly to the esystem
of measures advocated by the labor and indus
trial Congresses md VIC pledge the Democratic
party, If restored to power, To exercise their in
tuence in giving them practical application.
> RcsOlred. That the attacks of Governors HAYES
and Lee upon the doings Of the late General As
semby are false in fact, malicious in spirit and un-
worthy Of gentlemen occupy ing their elevated
positions.
/ Resolred That the late General Assembly were
called uyon to make large and extraordinary ap-
proprations to rebuild the burned Lunatic Asy-
lum, TO provide n Reform School for girls con
8 truct new Blind Asylum, TO make appropra-
{ tions to pay over $50 600 Of a judgement OBJ
tained in the Supreme Court Of the State In fa-
yor of the Life Insurance and Trust Company,
and to meet deficiency Of over $500 600 of the
preceding Republican legislature, all of which,
together with the extra compensation paid to
members undera law passed by Republican
: legislature, were provided for without an in
crease of the State levy, and tho appropriations
, In the aggregate are much less than that of the
preceding Republican Legislature, without ub.
strnctng SS0O,0OO from the Relief fund for the
MANNED and disabled soldiers and their families.
Resolged, That we hereby return our thanks to
the Elfty-eighth General Assembly for their eco
nOmical expenditures In the administration of
the State Government, aud for the cXposal Of
the Wholesale frauds In the erection Of State
buildings whereby the people were swindled
out of half million of dollars by the negligence
of Republican State officials aud by the dl3hon
esty ofther appoinLecs and subordnates.
Resoieed That 1t Is the right of each State to
decide for Itself who shal possess
the elective franchise within IL; that
the attempt TO regulate suffrage In Ohio BY
means Of the s0-ealled Fifteenth constitutional
amendment Is subycrslye of the principles of the
Federal Constitution.
Resoleed, That the policy and legislation Of I'll @
Radical party directly tend 10 destroy all the re-
served rights of the States and convert the Re
public into a consolidated dospotism; that whe-
ther such despotlsm be exercised byan Emperor
u President or Congress, the result would be
fatal to liberty and good government; that con-
solldati0n In this country means the absolute
dominion of monopoly and aggregate capital

Resolped That the numerous palpablc and
