IHE buMHD'OR iSefpt1aet, or this city, a
paper that has considerable circulation in
ONO, which took early ground against the
Imitation folly, and the nomination of the
demagogue Cary on the democratic ticket,
says OF the result in that state:
Whilst we are the last to detract from
the merits OF Carl Schurz, yet we believe
that the result would have been nearly the
same II he had not delivered his able
speeches. 1t is our opinion that the result
was already fixed when the Cincinnati
Iolksbtott (Hassaureks paper) and the CIeve-
land H1echteT declared that they would not,
and could not, support Allen and Cary. Both
these papers are ably conducted aud pos
sessed OF large influence. 1t was merely
necessary for them To lay the facts before
