FROM THE GUBERNAToRIAL CoNTEsT-ExcIrE-
MENT IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
TOLEDO, Ohio, August TO- 1875
The Toledo Blade this evening publishes the following
article based private information regarded by that
paper a entirely reliable:-
There a aaoat to the effect that tho condi-
ton of the Governors health is such that his with
drawa from the Gubernatoria contest is quite probable
His personal friends desire him TO withdraw for the pro-
lection of his health and the proongation of his life
while his political friends regard his defeat
for Governor certain, which result would be dis
astrous to his Presidential prospects BY his with
drawa from the Gubernaoral contest and the placing
of other at the head of the ticket defeat IN
October would enable the friends of Allen go before
the National Convention with the plea that he is the
only democrat who can carry Ohio Thurman and his
friends bitterly oppose Aliens withdrawal under any
circumstances as they expect to make capital in the
National Convention by the defeat of Allen and his
limited imitation scheme. These Tumors afoat
among certain inner circles of the democratic party
and should change be made in the head of the demo-
cratic ticket it may be looked for soon

In and about this city and all the State the
lightning struck frequently damaging houses and trees

not less than thirty barns struck by tho lightning
in Fairfield county alone. For nearly four hours the
rain poured down, flooding everywhere the pastures
and potato fields raising the streams to unusual
heights, inhcting injuries which cannot DO fully re
