The Presidential Nominee of the
Labor RefOrmers.
From the Cincinnati ENQUIRER III

From the Cincinnati Enquirer DEM.
Mr.. Davis is at present occupying a seat
on the Supreme Bench of the United States,
under appointment of Mt. Lincoln. He is
a man well advanced in lite, though well
preserved. He has extensive means, and, if
he were so disposed, could impart a vast
amount of magnetism to a Presidential
campaign. He is an able jurist, and a
staunch friend of the Constitution of the
United States. 1t was Judge Davis who
loosened the satrap Burnside's grip on the
Chicago Times in 1868.
The labor movement is beginning, at
last. to assume definite shape. 1t may not
accomplish much in the present campaign,
but it possesses formidable strength, and
can not be ignored by either political party.

The oracular declaration of Morton in the

as to the position of the Administration;
and thus the issue is joined and the

from the platform of the Liberals shows
where they stand:

Incident OF the WAR.

Many sad stories have been told Of the
late war. One Of the saddest that We know
of, occurred at the we'll known battle Of
Chickamauga in 1863. AS "A celebrated

denly stopped, and kneeling down kissed

IL was his son, and two years had elapsed

meeting, but duty impelled the father on

be agonized, the true soldier of the south
could not stop TO shed his manly tears. Ills

WHAT's TO BE Done ABOUT IT p
The law of Congress donating lands to
the State for the benefit of College es-
tabished to promote learning in Agri-
culture and the Mechanic Arts, has been
gro SLY violated. 1t was violated first by
the State law appropriating the grant; ;
ano second, the State law itself was vio-
lated by the agents entrusted with its
management. And in both cases the
dep arturo from the condition of the do
nat on, was palpable. If this proceeding
of had faith is persisted in, the State will
legally as well as morally forfeit her
claim to the grant. The question now
arises, what's to be done about it? Is
this magnificent fund to be squandered
and frittered away by improper man
agernent, or is it to be altogether lost to
the State by failure to comply with the
terms on which it was donated? Some
thing ought to be done and done quickly.
