That old political sinner, Frank Smith, of
Harperticld, was member OF the convention,
he has seen the error of his ways, and proposes
to vote the ticket that he helped to nominate.
the McCook Ashtabula speech, we presume
rs in many other cascs-was little too much
io- Franks stomach. Hence the change.
THE DISTRICT CONVENTION which assem-
blcd at Madison on Tuesday, was full in every
delegation, and the candidacy for the Judge
of Common Pleas resulted in the choice Of NJ.
&. CANFuELD, of Geauga, on the first ballot.
CALDWELL had 25 votes, BooTH 2, and the bal
auce OF the so votes was for Garfield, who, OF
course, was chosen.
The name of Gen JACK EASEMENT being
the only one presented for Senator, he was
nominated by bristerous acclamatiOn and en-.
thusiasm. The General is good soldier, a
good railroad builder, full of force and fire, a
Republican to the toe-nail, has clear head
and gushing heart and sensibiliIcs-all that's
essential in filling the bill OF a Senator If,
however, he can assume the theoretical idea
of demure and quiet dignity and gravity and
a sage-like mien and cast of countenunce, we
think there will be no difficulty about his
passing. A hearty cheer for the General
GERMAN IN OUR PUBLIC ScHooLs.-At a
special meeting of the Board of Education,
August 10Th, ii has decided to introduce the
study of the German language into the Public
Schools. To this end the Board haye secured
the services of Capt SPoRNBERGER, gentle
man just from Germany. He comes to us well
recommended, not only by his personal ap-
pearance but also by Prof Q. l.. HoTzE, of
the Central High School, of Cleveland.
The pupils of the high school who may
wish to study German will be allowed to sub
silute that language for Latin. The pupils of
the other departments will be allowed 10 omit
one of the regular studies in order to take
German.
1t is very desirable that pupils should decide
before the beginning of school whether they
will take German or not, so that as little time
as possible may be lost in making such changes
as will be necessary when school opens. Capt.
Spornberger proposes TO organize an evening
class, for the benefit of those who wish to
study German, but who cannot attend the
schools.
AT a former meeting of the Board, Prof S.
B. HAMLIN, for several years connected with
the Cleveland Female Seminary, was employed
10 teach vocal music in the schools the coming
year. lie will give two lessons each week to
the pupils and one to the teachers of The sew
eral schools. The next term will begin Mon
day, September 4th, 1871.
Mr.. EDIToR-Your old friend SwIPEs of the
JeBers0niah is about us near the truth as usual
when he says you tried TO get up a quarrel
with the chairman of the caucus meeting on
Saturday evening As your suggestion was
adopted, and resulted us it was intimated it
might, it isn't easy to see where the quarrel
could come in. II seems by the same author.
