There i, !alf one Democratic daily in this ieln,-
cratic city, Jhe Statesman. and itS proprietor~
claim il &" hc the central organ Of the Democracy
Of Ohio It, preteaSions during the past year
nave been sustained only 10y the fact that it, edi-
tor belongs 10 the party, while it is well known in
this city that the prOprietorshp of the paper is
! equally divided betw cen the two parties 4 year
| or more ago Mr.. Eshelman,n nov in your neighbor-
ing Co. of Wayne, severed his connection with the
paper, 4 then Mr. Flood became the chiefas he had
before been the assistant editor. The former gen.
/ tleman had sustained pecuniary losses sufficient
| to cause him to retire very willingly, and turn
over to a new management a paper upon which
| he had labored so long and faithfully. Mr.. My
ers, of the proprietary firm of Nevins S Myers,
whose pecuniary interest in the StarnSInan the
past year is understood to have been ual to thst
of Mr.. Nevins being Jointly interested IN the pub
/ location of the Mansfield Herald, tn" republican
organ of Richland county and mouth piece of Sen
the usual political motives, withheld his name as
one of the publishers of the central democratic
/ or used for that of Myers. Young Medary, al
| though son of the veteran wheel horse of Ohio
democracy, and founder of The Crisis and with
/ al worthy son OF a worthy sire, Is merely nom
lnal attache of the concern, without any personal
political or pecuniary interest IN the control or
I complexion of the paper.
According TO recent indications in the Statesman
I ITSELF the gossip of Cincinnati correspondents
and other reliable Information, the peculiar ar
rangenents of the past year are to give place TO
| new and still more remarkable newspaper deal.
/ The Statesman establishment is divided up into
! three equal interests between Messrs. Nevins,
1 Myers and Mills. Whether the name of Myers
I the personal friend and political Friday of
/ fishers remains 10 be seen. Prudence or modesty
/ may dictate its omission Ii is clear, hewever,
| thar with one democratic proprietor favorable to
the presidential aspirations of Chase, and another
committed TO the Senatorial reelection of Sher-
/ n. there l. re-
mark IN knowing circles here that the central or
gan is becoming slightly mixed, and that there
eral demand, for new democratic daily Mr..
| Mills, who is to take the place Of the veteran
Pittsburgh Commercial, which (as you well know
Is the live republican paper Of that-city and west
ern Pennsylvania. He Is a gentleman of industry
and ability, with wide editorial reputatlon-as a
writer for eithersde of all political queStions-but
whether he will add to the democratic improve
nent OF the paper, Is matter which remains to
| be solved. That the central organ of the Ohio
DeLlocrscy shouid Oe under the eQitorlil control
| OF live democrat with democratic anteeedents
and sympathies, and earnestly in favor of the
principles and success of the democracy, there is
no question. That Mr.. Mills, fresh from service
on republican paper, coming here at the instance
of Mr.. Myers, and being subjected to his infu-
ence, viii be the proper man TO turn the crank Of
a leading political organ OF the still unterrifed
but often deceived democracy, Is matter subject
/ at least to serious doubt.
In view of the prospect of change so unrelia-
bic as have indicated in the foregoing, there are
positive assurances of new democratic daily he
/ ing started ct this important and central point,
under the auspices control and prOprietorship of
men whose reputation, ability and political servi-
ces Will be a guarantee that the democracy will
have daily central democratic organ worthy of
the name, one that will utter no discOrdant sounds
/ and advocate no unreliable men or doubtful
/ measures,
THE LEGIsIATUEE
| The doings of this very ordinary assemblage
during last week may. with propriety, be very
| briefly summed up. The question of adjourn
ment-the only one of real importance to the peo-
pie that reInains-is only halfdsposed OF, and the
date when the SolOns will return TO the bosoms of
| their families, and some of them to the indigna-
tion of their constituents, will probably be fixed
! this week The subject Of female suffrage
discussed day and then dropped
! out of sight like diseased mess OF hot hash
Congress VIII have to equalize Ohio women with
ncgroes-the effort in the Legislature to do has
Jailed for the present, Notwithstanding the de-
mands of Il convention of growing hens and cack-
ling rOOsterS, held il this cIty few weeks since.
bne or two days We're spent in cussing and dis
cuSSing orders Of tie day--sO caled-[n which
the usual display of lOilty made on one side
and democratic truths told the other. The bill
10 prevent frauds committed in the voluntary pO-
litical organizations finally defeated. The
majority Of the majority too much indebted
10 frauds for their ~unenyiable positions Much
local legislation introduced and hut little dis
posed Of The State tax levy having been increas-
ed half mill on the dollar, the bill to reduce sal
aries TO gold standard will he defeated somehow.
And 80 we gO'-the usual way Of republican re-
form.
Yours in the same old faith,
