This year we have to elect a Gov
ernor in Ohio, as the term Of the
present incumbent expires before an
other annual election. 1t is vastly
important, not only to the Republican
party, but to all the people of the
State, who the Republicans choose as
the standard bearer of their principles
ia the coming political campaign
The name of Hon. B. F. Wade has
been favorably mentioned in connec-
: ton with the candidacy by many
prominent Republicans, and Mr.. Wade
w0uld undoubtedly make successful
campaign against any candidate the
Democratic party might choose to put
in the Held against him, if he was IN a
physical condition TO make the can
vass.
In relation to his being candidate
for the Office, be has written to the cd
itOr of the Cincinnati Times the fol-
lowing frank and characteristic letter,
which we here annex. He cannot be
q candidate:
/. Because / am not qualified for the
great struggle that is before u.s. For
two years past, my voice has been so
used up that / have not been able to
make q speech, and it is worse now
than ever. And this reason of itself
is all sufficient, as you will agree. 2
1t has been a fundamental principle
with me, and never yet violated, that
the ofIice should seek the man and not
the man the Office; and in accordance
with this principle, early took sol
emn oath that / would never stump
the public for, or in favor of an Office
which I was to ELL and even if were
able to do so, that oath would bar me
never yet solicited any mortal man
6or an office. 1t would be too humil
iating. would as soon beg for old
clothes.
These, yea will say, ARE very oldfash
toned ideas; but if this glorious Gov
ernment is ever ruined, it will be by
Ofice seekers.
Another reason, which, however,
does net amount to much, is that ]
cannot we'll afford to take the position.
Though long time In Office, madt

Of more than ordinary interest to til,

exhibited during the brief period they
have held the reins of State govern

that they are more in sympathy with
the peculiar interests and success ot
the Democratic party than they are
with the best intereS OF the people Of
the state, irrespective Of party sac

The press of the country are paying
their compliments to the late Ohio
Legislature. The general opinion
seems to be that tive quote from a
Boston paper-"was the most corrupt
ever known in that State, and, perhaps
the most openly corrupt that has been

is correct. The United States has
hardly turned out more disgraceful
