RANDOM THOUGHTS.
BY THE EDITOR.

Having determined to take my family
with me, and attend the Republican
State Convention at Columbus, June I'd,
and the Editorial State Convention June
Sd and 4th, wrote to Mr.. Blount, of the
American House, to reserve US a room.
He answered that he would do so.
We started on Tuesday forenoon, and
without any remarkable incidents, ar
rived at Columbus at five o'clock, and
were shown to our room, No. 43, fine
front room. After supper l went to the
Neil House, and, as 1 supposed, found
caucusing at fever heat. 1 have been at
Columbus at several State conventions,
but never saw any thing like this. The
great room and hall at the Neil House,
and the pavement for some distance,
were so crowded that it was almost i'm
possible to get through. 1 leisurely
passed through the crowd, listening to
the conversation as | passed. There
were hundreds of earnest men, so earnest
that not dozen of them were smoking
l soon ascertained that about three
lOuTLuS Vi buGIn were lOT Lay GSi anu OHC-
fifth for Taft, and the other fraction scat
tering. The Taft men were strong in
brain, position, influence and earnestness,
but they were very deficient in numbers
l found that they expected to carry their
point by force of brain and strategy. l
talked with several of the leading men
of the State, and all admitted that the
situation was critical. ! suggested to
Gov. Noyes, one of the most earnest Taft
men, that, as Taft was in hopeless mi
nority, his name be not presented to the
convention, and thus have the nomina-
ton rendered to Gov. Hayes unanimous
ly. He said the name Of Taft would, un-
der no circumstances, be withdrawn.
They were dispatching to Gov. Hayes,
and receiving replies. He said he could
in no case go into contest with Taft, as
he had declined to be q candidate, and
urged Taft to come out as a candidate.
The plan of the Taft men was to have
one-fourth Of the party control the other
three-fourths, and accept candidate in
opposition to the wishes of nine-tenths
of the party outside Of the large cities.
Wed " forenoon repaired to the

journal, and Mr.. MeGregor of the Stark
County Democrat. Time was then mark
ed by the piano, and the pupils all
marched out, the males on one side, and
the females on the other, winding among
the seats like great streams, and keeping
perfect time with the music.
Next in order was an expedition on
the street cars to the Fair Grounds, a
couple of miles east of the city. There
was q collation., and plenty of champagne,
and numerous short, witty speeches.
Between eight and nine o'clock on
Thursday night we went to thesDeaf and
Dumb Asylum There was grand music,
then an address by S. R. Reed, of the
Cincinnati Gazette. 1 will publish it
next week. Next were exercises by the
deaf and dumb and singing by the blind.
Next the banquet. Gen. Comfy, Presi-
dent of the Editorial Association, led the
way, and the editors, their wives and
daughters, followed, and then the citi-
zens When Gen. Comfy started, he
took Gov Allen by the arm, and he and
Uncle William marched out of the hall
with much dignity We all entered the
dining hall and were seated, and had a
splendid banquet. The tables were at
tended by the teachers, and such ser
wants are rarely seen. They were young
ty, all dressed in white, and had cunning
looking little caps, or hats on their
heads. They were all pretty and lovely,
but the one who waited on our table was
the prettiest and most lovely of all She
was little woman. with long nose. l
always was pleased with little women
with long noses. This little woman was
all smiles. and loveliness, and kindness.
l will never see her again, or
know her name or her history.
For several years the Standard has been
sent to the Institution. l want those
who receive this number, to show this
article to the teacher who has the longest
nose the sweetest smile, the kindest
heart, and that is the girl whom l thus
thank for her kindness to me at the ban.
quet. If was thirty years younger and
did not have a wife, and children. and
grand children, 1 would find out who
this lovely teacher is.
Friday morning we all started on the
excursion train for Straitsville and
Athens. Finding that the excursion
train would not make the connection al
Athens, we got off at Logan and waited
for the regular train.
There is much more that 1 had to say
but this article is long enough. There
are several personals, and other matters
of which will speak in other articles.

The following are the resolutions
State convention at Columbus last week
In all that great, and full, and enthusias-
tic convention, there was not one dissen-
ting voice.
We will speak of these resolutions in
another place;
1.-THE Republicans of Ohio, in conven-
ton assembled, reaffirming the cardinal
principles of their organization which
have become received maxims of policy
State and national, declare on specific
points the series of sentiments following:
"First-The States are one as a nation,
and all citizens are equal under the laws,
and entitled to their fullest protection
"Second-That the policy of finance
shoule be steadily pursued which, with
out unnecessary shock to business or
trade, will ultimately equalize the pur-
chasing capacity of the coin and paper
dollar.
"Third-We are in favor of tariff for
revenue, with incidental protection to
American industry.
Fourth-We stand by free education,
our public school system, the taxation of
all for its support, and no division of the
school fund.
Fifth-Under our republican system of
government there should be no connec-
ton, direct or indirect, between Church
and State, and we oppose all legislation
in the interest of any particular sect.
Upon this subject we should not fail to
profit by the experience of foreign gov
ernments, where the efforts of the Church
to control the State constitute an evil of
great magnitude, and endangers the
power and prosperity of the people.
SiXth-We demand such revision of
of the patent laws as will relieve indus
| try from the oppression of monopolies in
administration.
Seventh-A grateful people cen never
cease to remember the services of our
soldiers and sailors, and it is due to them
that liberality and generosity should OBJ
tain in the adjustment of pay and boun-
ties.
| Eigth-That we demand that the pub
lie domain shall be scrupulously reserved
for occupancy by actual settlers.
Ninth-Tha determination of the gov
ernment to collect the revenue, and pun
ish frauds, has our unqualified approval
Tenth-That the power of municipal
corporations to create debts should be
restricted and local and local and other
expenditures should be so reduced as to
diminish taxation.
Eleventh-The observance of Washing
tons example, in retiring at the close Of
second Presidential term, will be in
the future, as it has been in the past, re-
| garded as fundamental rule in the un-
written law of the republic.
| Twelfth-The distinguished success of
of his administration. which, to the
fame of the patriot and soldier he added
that of the capable end judicious states
man, entities President Grant to the
gratitude of his countrymen.

We think Bowen, of the Macarthur
Enquirer, is little inconsistent. If we
are not mistaken, he opposed the crusa-
ders, and went into the defense of the
personal liberty dodge of those who
claim the right to sell and drink liquor
Now he whines about the expense caused
by the robbery and attempted murder
at Hamden. He admits that the Irish
and that the last thing done by Jack
Sprouse before he committed the crime,
was to beg glass of at one OF the Ham
den doggeries Beer and whisky caused
this, as they do nearly every crime in
our land.

The Vinton Record gives full account
of the ROBBERY and probable murder of a

Hamden, by Jack Sprouse. The robber
is young man, son of Charley Sprouse'

ago Young Sprouse is in Jail at Near

enough to escape the gallows. If oNeill

Cincinnati is in bad way. The inf
dels, bummers and outlaws, are being
set back peg or two. They failed in
examining their candidate for Governor
down the throat of the Republican par
ty, and now their Mayor has ordered
that they shall close the front doors of
their saloons ON Sunday. and that they
shall not celebrate the Fourth of July
on Sunday. Verify, it looks like the
"Puritans" are rather getting the out
laws in chancery:

1t is sometimes annoying when good

taken for great men. We met in Colum-

VIM. Nash, Esq, of the Gallipolis Jour

recently in Cincinnati, and was every
where taken to be Mayor Johnston. Our
misfortune when in Columbus was, that
we were supposed to be Gen. Sherman.

VICTORY.

If the Republican party does not elect
its entire ticket at the ensuing election,
it ought to quit. The ticket is the
strongest that has been put before the
people for years We have little faith in
platforms, and it is a rare thing for a po-
litical convention to get up string of
resolutions which suits US. But we can
not pick flaw in this platform.
Let our friends move upon the enemy
in solid column, and victory will be sure.
