The Goyerno,.hip of Ohio

The old story Of the Frenchmsu who didn't
want his money At all IL the bank WAS Abe TO
pas II during financial or ia but WIN wanted
IL very much il the b:nk had gone 70 evarI -.
ug smash finds new Illustration in the az peri
eDee Of some tOdy nearly eyeIy day OF the
world Ex-senator Wade, for inst nee, = Just
row having an opportunity Of understanding
how 1t = himself. So long as ID At gentleman
T0utly refused 10 be a cand. date -Or Governor
OF Ohio there emed % be q remarkable unsni-
m ~ IN his favor; ut Stree a paper friendly II
bin has ielt authorized - state that he would
no doubt accept the honor OF a nomination -
unanimously rendered ard earnc thy ms sted
upon, sharp opposition has sprung M in differ
ent parts of tie state, aud at present it appear,
10 be Questionable whether he could get the
nomination at all, even if bis claims are yiror-
ously pes ed in convention.
One obi elton urged against him with much
force in many quarters is the argument that he
has already been literally dealt with by his
party, and that he should rot stand in the yay
or younger and able men WHO have earned thei,
Claims TO civil honors by long and b szarCous
hlhtary service. Another reason, which i,
probably equally potent in the minds OF many
earnest republicans, bat not go publicly given,
~ the apprehension that the nomination of Mr.
wade at this time would be regarded as an
enforcement in advance of the San Domip yo
policy by the republican party OF Ohio, and
that that question would be forced into the
cinpsign, and thus Gu. an open rupture over
a measure upon which the partJ in that State
is now tar from united, but which will not be
dangerous if judiciously kept out of ayht
Still another objection lies in the belief enter
tanned by not few that the project ID nominate
him had its origin in and yet receives its main
support from this city; and II there is any point
upon which the rank and file of all political
parties throughout the country are especially
and particularly ser .itive, Ii is in regard to
what they conceive 10 be Washington dIctation
or manipulation in local ohtics.
That anything of the kind has been practiced
or attempted in this case we do not pretend to
say, but general impression that such is the
fact Is about rs dangerous as the fact itself;
and, looking the whole field over, and compar-
ing such sdvices "a ve get from different quar-
tiers on the subject, it looks very mich a ii Mr.
Wade, being now willing 70 take the Governor
ship, cannot get il. iforn one cause or Another,
or tom variety of causes, and that the place
Will Re filed by some younger man who has
won bis spurs on the battle field.
