OHIO DEMoCRACY.-The Democratic State
Convention of Ohio met on the centennial of the
battle of Bunker Hill, and re-nominated for Gov
ernor the old veteran who commanded at that
battle-William Allen. The Convention was
large, but turbulent. The party, in its dicker
for the Catholic vote, has started a commotion in
its ranks that will result in defeat. Its platform
bids for the Catholic and foreign vote, and de-
clares against a tariff except for revenue; yet
one of the big men of the Convention, and a
leading member of the Committee on Resolutions,
was Lewis D. Campbell, once the champion of a
high protective tariff, and afterwards the Know
Nothing leader in Congress. The party expects
the support of the whiskey interest, and to this
end, has nominated Sam. Carey, once known as the
Apostle of Temperance, for Lieutenant-GOvern-
or. The Hayes fever will be fatal to the Ohio
Democracy, this Fall.

EIt is said that Col. D. R. Anthony is now
in a fair way to get well. His broken clevis is
healing, aud he can now write his name without
running out his tongue. The only suspicious
thing about it is, that the doctors now say they
think he will get well. As long as they declared
that there was no chance for him, he kept getting
better; but now that they have changed their
opinion. his condition NAV change.
