numbered
The wall of the brOther-in-law is heard IN
the land The ingrattude of republics Is what troubles

There are good reasons for believing that tho
Republicans of Ohio in their Convention to-day, will fol-

they say about tho third term: The Republicans u
Ohio will speak and there should be phrases framed
for ouphOny words OF uncertain weight In their utter
ance. The gravity OF tho subject, andathe pert!nencs
declaring public opinion upon it, will heneeforth d

and the history OF his country about the value and the
dignity the limitations and the responsibility OF ~
office and is their aud their duty to talk to him
with th0rOughness."

Here is solid comfort for those patriotic
Democrats hopeful OF carrying the country or
the platform OF Free Trade, Hard Money, and Homo
