his face with beer mug when in
company.
+ Joseph H. Barrett, of the Times
Chronicle, Is the loveliest of his sex,
and the best clog dancer in the pro
fession.
Bond, of the Scioto Gazette, is the
tallest editor. Even the Chillicothe
chills can't shake him all over-they
divide into three reliefs, like mill
tary guard, and shake him by sec
tions.
ANDY Francisco, of the State
journal, is the smallest man and the
biggest every other way. He and
Bond are called "The Twins" be-
cause they are SO much longer and
shorter than each other.
Captain Mason, of the Cleveland
Leader, is the handsomest editor in
Ohio. Cowles has to stand guard
at the door while he writes to keep
the Cleveland bellies away from him.
Mackley, of the jackson Stand
ard, is the old sinner who writes
Random Thoughts"
Samuel R. Reed, of the Cincinnati
Gazette, is the greatest theologian
among the editors. He can so ad-
vocate religion as to make a man
curse the faith he was born in.
Clark Waggoner, of the Toledo
Commercial, has a nose like Slaw-
kenburgius-he had to enlarge his
business to take it all in.
Halstead, of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, can sit on the fence with
more ability than any other editor
in Ohio.
Griswold, of the Lancaster Ca
zette, is the living image of Emper
or Wilhelm, yet he is a fair editor
for one so young.
Cockerill, of the Cincinnati En-
quirer, without being as great the
ologian as Reed, or as truly good as
Deacon Smith, has a great deal of
native piety, restrained by a taste
for ungodly amusements.
Bloss, as everybody knows, is kept
on the Enquirer because he writes
the worst hand IN America. His
writing looks like a procession of
corkscreWs going to an inebriate
asylum.
Douglass, of the GAINESVILLE Courier
has the strongest faith of any editor
in Ohio--he believes that GAINESVILLE
will be a city, Notwithstanding its
natural advantages.
Captain Lee, of the Delaware
Gazette, is the most accomplished
natural scientist among Ohio editors.
Plimpton, of the Cincinnati Com
merciaI, is the only real poet among
Ohio editors though Deacon Smith
got off a very good political brindisi,
with the indecorous title-"Bully
for Grant"
Hopley, of the Bucyrus Journal, is
the most stinging writer of classical
lampoon, or rhymed political invec-
tive.
Montgomery, of the Logan Re
publican, is the handsomest editor in
Ohio, but ne never goes anywhere,
and isn't generally known.
Benedict, Of the Cleveland Herald,
is the hardest worked man in the
profession. If he wasn't off at the
seaside all summer, and down South
all winter, he couldn't stand it.
Armstrong, of the Cleveland Plain
dealer, is the widest man among
Ohio editors. He reaches from
Cleveland to Tifin.
Chapman, of the Pomeroy Tele-
graph, lives higher than any other
editor in Ohio, by a thousand feet.
Lecky Harper, of the Mt. Vernon
Banner, is the most patient editor.
He will try to tell the truth a thou
sand times, and if he fails every
time, try it again with unimpaired
cheerfulness.
| Prof. Scott, Of the Athens Journal,
is the only female editor in Ohio.
Allison, ofthe Steubenville Herald
has enough hair to make a Fifth
Avenue belle go mad with envy.
W. D. Morgan, of the Newark
Democrat, spells editor auditor"
Fairbanks,of the Cleveland Herald
is our leading Spiritualist.
Mcfarland, of the Portsmouth
Tribune, is the most scrupulously
truthful editor in Ohio. He prom
ised to publish Conkling's speech in
full, and did it, though it occupied
three entire pages, and threw out all
his advertisements.
Jones, of the Toledo Blade, is the
fattest editor.
The ugliest editor in Ohio is
postmaster named Comfy.
