The anomaly of partizan with
out a party is exhibited in the case
of the editor of the Bucyrus Forum.
He says he does not depart,
not he. That he is opposed to the
platform, he is. Yet he supports
the nominees of the party, who ac-
cept the platform, he does. he is a
regular "Bhat is it." and can't tell
himself where he belongs. He is

HWas McCook actually nominated During
the recess, after the nomination of McCook
had been declared, few quietly questioned
it. The excitement of the remaining hours of
the convention prevented investigation, I'd
it was hoped that publication of the vote by
counties wound show where and how the diff
fererences between tallies had occurred. But
the vote by counties has not been published,
giving rise TO suspicious that it has been sup
pressed, and the official tally sheets destroyed.
The total number of delegates was 494. Ac-
cording to official report all the delegates pre-
sent voted for or against the resolutions, 365
for % against the correct aggregate
of 494.
HImmediately after this vote balloting began
for Governor, when, according TO the official
announcement, thirty-one delegates failed or
refused to vote, as but 463 votes were reported
by the chair as having been cast, divided as
follows; McCook 1877; Ewing III; Ward 81;
Groesbeck l; Allen l Several delegates kept
tally, and before the official announcement Of
the vote, it was known that Ewing was fifteen
votes ahead of McCook, and had received 2O4
votes. Oh the second ballot, according to the
offieial count announced, thirty-eight delega-
tes failed or refused to vote, of which, as re-
ported by the Secretary, McCook received 253;
Ewing l9l; scattering IL.
'tBy private tally kept by two gentlemen
known for their accuracy, and in high esteem,
personally and politically in this State, the
whole vote appears to have been cast, divided
thus: Ewing, 24l l-2, McCook, 239 l-2; scat
tering l3. 1t appears, therefore, that the vote
was incorrectly announced in aggregate and
and in detail.
"The evidence is strong against the fact of
McCook's nomination, and nothing will tend
TO rebut it but the publication Of the names of
the counties whose delegates the Secretary re-
ported to the President as not voting on either
ballot for Governor. If this cannot be done.
the sooner the State Central Committee call a
new Convention the better
1 have regretted, ever since writing this
communication, that yielded to the urgent
request Of general Ewing TO suppress its pub
ication, for it now appears that it would have
been better for both Ewing and AIcCook to
have had the truth boldly told at once than to
hide it until drawn from the bottom of the
well by political antagonists.
If the Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee viii publish the private
tally sheet kept by him as corrected by COM
parison with two others when he was at Lam
caster, and by kilograms from Ross and High
land counties, am satisfied that it Will show
Ewing's nomination on the second ballot.
Under all the circumstances, / feel sorry
That have been driven to write so much
ABOUT an unfortunate matter, which inciden-
UalIy mentioned IN calling attention of my
party 70 the more important question of our
duty 10 ignore the false creed clared in our
platform Like murder, it would out, through
the folly q some our editors, who need fool
Killer among them to insure any hope of the
party's success.

LANCASTER, O., August IA, 1871.
"And ere three shriH notes the pipe uttered,
You heard as if an army muttered:
And the mutterlng grew to grumbing:
And the grumbling grew to mighty rumbling;
And out of the house the rats came tumbling.
Great rats, small rats lean rats, brawny rats,
Brown rats, black rats, gray rats, tawny rats,
Grave old plodders, gay young friskers,
Cooking tails and picking whlskers.
Iregret to have stirred up a commotion, and
was ignorant of the tumult, until l read my
own Ohio Eagle Of last week, and was put up
on inquiry, and found myself notorious because
I had published my reasons for declining to
speak for my party in Ohio, in this, its year Of
humiliation. I discovered in my Eagle my
biographers not of my own selection; among
them our precious tribolite of the Cincinnati
ENQUIRER, nv combustible, fame headed friend
of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and whatever
hireling Hess1an Colonel NeYins now keeps to
take the place of ''the old wheel horse" who
made the Ohio Statesman the honored organ
of our party In the days of its glory and sue
cess.
In the histories Of my past life these chron-
iclers omitted to tell how for years I was an
owner and caretaker of that imperial abird of
freedom the Ohio Eagle, and it is sad to me
to notice that the respectable gentleman who
now own the proud old bird, (onee cared for
bv John and Charles Brough: Medill, Pike,
Robinson. Tuthil, Roland and others, having
no mental pabulum of their own to give it,
permit it to be fed even on the objections of
the man who makes a commode of the States
man, whenever ex-General Sohleich and ex-
Treasurer Breslin have not leisure to attend to
its wants.
On examineation of the stories Of nay fierce
detractors, was amazed, hattered, and con-
irmed in my own views, when l discovered
that the facts stated in my obnoxious letter
were not controvertted. but that the donkeys
yho have been kicking at me, and thereby in
yitine me to FecaIcitration, deemed an attack
upon nv invulnerable person Of more import
ance than denial of that which 1 published.
There is a faint intimation that McCook
was nominated, and an intention to mislead
the people by appealing to the reported Off
cial count at the convention as furnishing the
best evidence, which it of course would, If ac-
cessible. But Mr.. Allen, the fugleman of
McCook, informed me that the record of it had,
BY carelessness, been burned up. The second
ory evidence, therefore, found In the produe-
ton of tally sheets kept by delegates, is all that
is left to US. And Just here I may as well in
trodUce.

And now from Dayton We hear concerning
the operations of notorious adventureress and
impostor hailing from this place, who has been
repeatedly exposed. One of our exchanges
tells the story in the following manner: A
Young woman calling herself Charlotte Prem
tice, and hailing from Painesville, Ohio, was
stricken with paralysis, few days ago, at the
DAYTON depot. Her case attracted much
sympathy. And as she was poor, and without
money, avs carefully conveyed to hotel, re-
ceived every attention that her delicate situa-
ton required, and when she was so far recov-
cred as to be able to travel, she was supplied
with purse by liberal, sympathizing friends,
and sent on her journey home to Painsvllle.
A letter addressed to Deacon - of that
place, by person who doubted the young
woman's story, brought the information, on
Tuesday, that she is a wandering adventureress
who is playing the paralysis dodge in order to
make money.-Pa PainesUale AdUeTtiSer.
Evidently the same gal that played the
paralysis dodge here, few weeks ago.
