Ohio Republicans, has run for office six
times, and never was beaten but once.

Pendleton for governor.
The Washington Star says the Presi-
dent has been receiving daily, since the
publication of his third term letter, nu-
merous letters from all parts of the
country, congratulating him upon that
document
The Baltimore San is one of the few
Democratic papers that are fair enough
to give the president credit for being in
earnest in his letter, and the Democra-
cy in that section appear to be taking
the same view.
A letter from Cairo, Egypt, says ex-
Comptroller Connolly, of New York,
one of the "ring thieves intends
building an extensive villa in that city.
The correspondent declares Connolly to
be very rich, and living at great ex-
pense.
Our victory came a year too soon, :"
is remark now frequently made by
Democratic politicians. They had bet
ter thank heaven (invert that, please)
that it came at all, and make up their
mind, as they contemplate it, that they
will never look upon its like again.
All the news that comes from Wash
ington is to the effect that Commission
er Pratt is giving the most eminent
satisfaction in his new position. He is
ably seeonding the efforts of Secretary
BristOw to overthrow the whisky ring.
May he succeed to the utmOst.-Loqan

The Washington Chronicle says the
Democrats of Mississippi are still dis
cussing whether the ''nigger Gas they
term the black man-haS capacity to
make citizen. After the discussion
has been ended and they conclude he
has not, they will hear that he has been
a citizen for several years.
Mr.. NordhOff, the great unbiased let
ter-writer of the New York Herald is
beginning to have his eyes opened. In
his last letter to his paper he relates
scenes of brutality which passed before
his own eyes, and partially convinced
him that the old spirit of slavery still
lives with ferOcious vitality.

mans presence in the Republican State

him for president.

has done precisely what the Democrats
did not wish him to do. The thr(
