THE CASE STRONGLY PUT.

E. D. Mansfield, in one of his
mastery political articles in the
Cincinnati Gazette, thus talks to
the Democracy of Ohio:
IF you acknowledge the Repub-
lican principles to be right, why
keep up an organized opposition
against it? What is there to oppose:
You have had the weakness to call
upon the whole Democratic party,
and the whole people of the United
States, to oppose the administration
of General Grant. But the admin
istration represents the Republican
party, and you say the Republican
party is right. YOu contradict
yourselves at the first step. But
suppose you do oppose the admin
istration of Graut, achdt is it you
oppose? Will you oppose the reduc-
ton of debt and taxes: VIII you
oppose peace with England and
peace at home: The reduction of
debt and taxes, and the treaty with
England which secures peace among
the great Anglo Saxon nations, are
the striking features of Grants ad-
ministration, and they are signal
successes. We challenge the stu
dent OF American history to produce
anything equal to this in all the
Democratic administrations of the
country. Will You say to the peo-
pie of Ohio, Republicans are all
right, but the administration is all
wrong" when that administration
itself is the embodied representa-
tive of the Republican party? What
will You do: Will you turn to the
right, or to the left: or. fall between
two stools:'

McCooK's NOMINATION AT C0luM-
BUS BOGUS.

There,,is trustworthy information
from Columbus, O., that at the late
Democratic convention Gen. Ewing
was really nominated instead of Nc
Cook. Upon the final ballot, as an
nounced, McCook had 225 and Ew-
ing l91. Two persons ofprominence
in the party,who kept full and care
ful tally sheets, agree that Ewing
really received 243, and McCook
only 221. The mistake arose en-
tirely from unintentional mistakes
in counting up the delegations. By
blnnder of one of the secretaries,
the tally sheet from which the an
nouncement was made wSs used
twice. and hence the difficulty in as
eerfaining the exact official count.
The state Democratic committee
will meet in q few days to consider
the matter.

GREAT FIRES IN NEW JERSEY.

Some days since as the workmen
on the Tuckertown Railway were
burning brush on the track near
where it crosses the Oyster Creek,
the fire got beyond their control and
caught in the cedar Swamp. Being
very dry, and the wind blowing
fresh from the south and west, sent
the flames down on the village of
Waretown at fearful rate. 1t
spread far and wide, until the whole
township was burned oye. The de-
struction of property was immense.
Oyer 10000 acres of fine thrifty
timber and cedar swamps have been
destroyed. The loss cannot be es-
timated in dollars and cents. 1t
will probably amount to several
hundred Thousand dollars. The
sight is said to have been magnlfi-
Gently grand, but terribly awful.

were present from Michigan and

FIERCE STORM IN IOWA.
Wind, Rain and Hail in Superabundance
Great Damage to Property-One
Man kiIled-Ruiidings Unroofed, Trees
Blown Down, Ect.

Iowa CITY, Iowa, June about
four o'clock this afternoon the most
fearful storm ever seen in this sec
ton broke upon us. Rain and hail
fell in torrents for about forty min
utes, accompanied with fearful
wind from the west. Considerable
damage was done in the city, and,
as is supposed, great damage to
crops and fruit in the country. The
dry goods store of d. Griffiths, on
Clinton street, was unroofed, and
the entire stock, one of the finest
in the city, completely deluged.
The damage is probably $4,000.
The fine new brick dwelling of
Mrs. A. d. Downey had its west
gable end blown in, and the center
of the house considerably damaged.
st. Joseph's school building, on
Iowa street, had one end blown in,
and it is reported that two or three
ether houses were unroofed in the
outskirts Of the city. One man is
reported killed. Fruit and shade
trees were blown to the ground in
all parts of the city. The new
Trinity Church, in process of cree
ton, was injured some. 1t is i'm
possible TO give the entire amount
of damage now.

FROM DEMOCRATIC PAPERS

The Cincinnati COmmoneT kicks
at the proceedings of the Democrat
ic convention; candidates and plat
form. OF the platform it says:
"We shall be greatly mistaken if
the Republican Convention platform
will not be better Democracy. We
pronounce the Kentucky Republi-
cans at Frankfort lately to have
adopted a platform that comes
nearer to the truth. Mr.. Hurd' S
substitute denouncing the amend
ments as being void ON principles
of common honesty, should have
been adopted. There will not be
much enthusiasm for such a creed
and ticket"
Mr.. McCook's first effort of the
campaign meets with small favor.
Referring to the statement of the
Enquirer that the vital question is
not upon the Amendments as parts
of the Constitution, but upon their
Interpretation, the COmmOner says:
"McCook puts himself forward as
the interpreter, and breaks down so
pitifully that the smallest pettifog-
ger can show him up. In fact, he
will have to swallow his first speech,
and so on, till the operation becomes
as easy as it is ridiculous"
The Baltimore Gazette is serious
" frank for a Democratic paper in
these days. 1t says of the New
Departure:
"The great blunder which the
Northern Democracy makes is set
ting up a platform as mark for its
antagonist. The outside party
wants no platform. It's policy is to
get in
The Columbus Convention should
have passed a-FeselHtieR to the
point thus: ':ReSolced, that the
Democracy of Ohio want office
honestly if they can, but they mast
have the Offices" All the leaders of
the party would have stood should
er to shoulder on that platform.

HONEST SENTIMENT.

Gen, W. McCook in MS ad-
dress to the Democrtic State Con
vention last week In the course of
his remarks on the amendments Gc-
cepted in the platform adopted by
that convention, spoke as follows of
the 18th amendment:
1t is full of clap-trap upon the
subject of the limitation of repre-
sentation of the States. 1t is full
of clap-trap upon the subject of
our own debt, which no Democratic
Convention has ever proposed to re-
pudiate-indiyidnal Democrats may
have been repudiate. it proposes
that we shall not assume the debt
Of the Confederate States. God
knows that we have assumed as
much as we can pay already, with
out undertaking TO shoulder the
burdens of any State or Gonfeder-
ate States in the South. Applause.
tits a mere clap-trap Of clap
traps, schich diSgyaces the fundd-
mental instrument sncb as the Con-
stitution Of the United STATES. Ap-
plause,
The aboze is undoubtedly the
honest sentiment 90 Gen. McCook
and the great mass of the democrat
ic party, notwithstanding they have
accepted these a!nendments in their
platform and pledged themselves to
a '.faithful and absolute execution
and enforcement ofthe Constitution
rs it now is" They mean to be un
derstood as accepting these .amaHd-
mcnts now but if they get into pow
er they will be declared a disgrace
to the Constitution and in Frank
Blair's words to be ''deciored mil
and eoi@."

A HERO WITH THE CHILDREN.

Here is chance for fame which
the great political hero of the South
is rashly throwing away. The
Louisville Courier journal says:
Let not Mr.. Davis be seduced by
the coarse eggings of bilious and
distempercd press or excited by the
hootings OF q rabble OF british
sight-seers. There is among many
things, a gentler influence to be
considered,-the sweet illusions
which tle womanhood of the South
has introduced into the nursery. If
Mr.. Davis would be hero With the
children hero with posterity-the
hero of household fairy tale, be-
dcwed With tears, ,sanctified by blood,
animated by glory in which each
little one has an inherited portion,-
he had better have done with bal
comics and drums and flies and
dFanllen brawlers, that do no credit
to the cause he led and lost.
We know Of no better place for
the petticoatcd head OF Il CON
federsoy that died in infancy than
the nursery. Having ceased to be y
hero with men, JEFF should not let
slip his chance of being n hero
with the children, -CIereldnd Her.

THE DOOMED CITY.

The terrible fever and epidemic,
which has been raging in the Bue-
nos Ayeres, is still sweeping off its
victims by the hundred. The last
report states that the nnmber Of
deaths in the city was 100 q day.
1t is estimated that at least $4,000
had died Of the loathsome disease
out of population of 100000, and
that there were Is, 900 siek,t the most
of whom would doubtless never re
cover. 1t is hardly possible, it is
said, that the fever will abate until
the frost appears, which is meyer
very heavy in the vicinity of Buenos
Ayres, and there is but little doubt
but by that time the beautiful South
American city, will be in truth City
of the Dead.

KEEP STILL.

The Democratic papers Of the
North are cursing JEFF Davis for his
ill-timed utterances. They beg him
to retire from public view for the
present, and to keep his mouth her
rnetically sealed, if he cannot open
it to better purpose than in his
late speeches. They also beseech
the re-eating journals of the South
TO moderate their zeal for the ''Lost
Cause" for while. Il is not the
sentiments expressed that they OBJ
iect to, but their untimely expression
In effect they say, "Kaep still until
we haze won our elections, and then
we can help you talk 10 some pur-
nose"
