Child Poisoned.

A twO-year-old child of Mr.. johnson,
who resides on the corner of Canal and
Cherry streets, came very near dying
from the effects of poison, one day last
week. When the symptoms of having
been poisoned were discovered physi-
clan was called and administered the
proper remedies in such cases. Under
the treatment it was but short time un-
til the eonvulsions and swelling of the
stomach usually attending poisoning,
ceased, and the child was soon out of
danger.
The child was questioned, and it was
found it had picked up, in the yard, and
eaten piece of bread, which was s pread
with phosphorus paste. This had been
thrown in the yard by some person for the
purpose, probably, of killing dog be-
longing to the family Had the sub
stance been arsenic, strychnine or some
of the other poisons usually employed for
such purposes, it is not likely that the
child could have lived. - Columbus Journal.

The New York World gives its impress
sions of the preferences Of the delegates
to the st. Louis Convention as follows /:
For Iilden, 29l; Hendricks, 170; Bayard,
%; Allen, A; Parker, IS; Unknown, 1872.
The New York Times, which is presumed
to be impartial in this matter, estimates
the preferences of the delegates as fol-
lows: for the F'Unknown," 277; Tilden,
258; Thurman, "a; Parker, 1S; Hend-
ricks, 100; Davis, IL; BaYard, 10; Allen,
Il. Authorizations fail, it is said, in time
of drOuth, and so all speculations in ref
erenee to the action of the st. Louis Con-
VentiOn may come very wide of the mark.
1t israther singular that the name of Han
cock does not figure in either the Times or
World estimates. 1t may be, however,
that they regard his identity rs very near
ly akin to that of the "Great Unknown"

IT is really affecting to see what SYM
pathy the Democratic papers have for all
the Republican candidates who did not
receiYe the nomination for the Presiden-

is no sympathy like that of Democratic

receive the nomination by his party. It's

A MAGNIFICENT reception was given
Governor Hayes by his neighbors and
friends, without distinction of political
parties, at his old home in Fremont, last
week. The Governor made very appro-
pirate and well received address upon
this most interesting occasion. H.
WE doubt very much whether the De-
mocracy will be able to adopt hard or
soft money platform, but they may COM
promise on halfway grounds
Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1876-06-29


IT is not true, as stated by some of the
interruptions Democratic newspapers,
that the platform upon which the Repub-
lican candidate stands ''demands tariff
for protection, which simply means tax
ing Western industry to enrich Eastern
manufactures The sth, and the only
resolution in the platform in relation to
tariff, reads as follows:
8. The revenue necessary for current
expenditures and the obligations of the
public debt must be largely derived from
as possible, should be adjusted to promote
the interests of American labor and adj
vance the prosperity of the whole coun-
try.
The prime object of the tariff is for rev.
enue, and not for protection. The pro-
lection is simply incidental. We must
either have tariff for revenue or we
must raise revenue from direct taxation.
Do the Democratic leaders and news
papers advocate direct taxation upon the
people? For, agreeably to the Constitu-
ton, direct taxation would have to be in
proportion to the population and not in
proportion to the wealth. Who, then,
would have to pay the greatest portion of
the taxes to support the Government 1t
evidently would not be the wealthy peo-
pie of the Eastern States. 80 E

The baIlotings for the nomination of a
Republican candidate for President were
as follOMs:
Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1876-06-29


THE St. Louis convention has chosen
Gen. John A. McClernan, of Illinois, per-
manent president, and one vice-president
and one secretary from each of the States.
The rules of1872 were adopted for the gov
ernment of the convention. The prelim-
inaries being settled, new trouble begins,
and the papers of yesterday morning indi-
cate that there will be high times in the
wigwam, and that, scalps will be taken
with charming fatality.
THE universal expression from Repub-
licans, and even Democrats, is that the
nomination of Governor Hayes is the
best one the Republicans could have
made. The nomination meets with the
hearty endorsement of Republicans in
all sections of the Union, and will un-
doubtedly command the strongest vote
the party could give for any candidate.

THE Democratic National Convention
which met at st. Louis ON Tuesday, is
having pretty hot time; the party is ter
riBly divided, the financial question being
the rock upon which they split. Tilden,
of New York, a hard-money Democrat,
evidently has a majority OF the
delegates, but the rule that requires
two-thirds of the Delegates to nominate a
candidate. will most likely defeat his
nomination. The struggle will then be
tn unite the two factions on some cOmpro-
mise man. 1t may be General Hancock,
and it may be Thurman. Allen never had
the ghost of a chance for the nomination.
So far as the result in November is con-
cerned, it makes no diferepce who they
nominate, Governor Hayes will be the
lucky man.
The Ohio delegates are divided, part
"hards'' and part ''softs.'' In relation
to Ohio in the Convention, We make the
following extracts from the st. Louis
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
under date of Jnne 26th:
GEN. TON EWING,
of Ohio, has taken active part to-day with
anti-Tildsn New Yorkers, and has visited
various delegations and spoken openly
and vigorously against Tilden. Both fac
tiOns concede that they cannot carry
Ohio.
THE OHIO DELEGATION.
The meeting of the Ohio delegation was
more harmonious than was expected
Diseord arose more from crooked whisky
in one or two delegates than from any rea1
purpose to quarrel. Gen. Morgan Wai
made Chairman, and Gen. Steedman wa'
selected for the Committee on Permanent
| Organization, and John G.. Thompson, by
acclamatiOn, for a member of the Nation
| al Committee, a concession on all sidei
| from the Allen men. There was quite {
| contest over the committee on resolutions
and the two candidates were Judge Col
/ Inns, of Cincinnati, and Gen. Tom Ewing
| the Allen Greenback man. The vote stood
% to IL for Ewing. This, however, doe
not show the real division in the delega
ton as between Thurman and Allen. tn,
/ Thurman men were inclined at first to le

since they understood that the delegation
was acting under instructions for Allen

William, at least, for one ballot, and per

situation that will hold them togethe
longer, and Pennsylvania has been har
at work, and with considerable promise o
success, to secure the Ohio vote for Han
