The democrats In congress- are dreadfully
disgusted with the OHIO convention doipgs
Some of them openly declare 1t was . big

Ia conceded that Thurman 10 shelved, and
that no hard.money democrat can be nom-
mated at st. Louis without serious quar-

Bristow has followed thieves when it was
expected he would get kicked out of the
cabinet for doing it. He is q reformer. His
nomination would be platform that every
body of any republican tendencies what
ever, would believe in, and the thousands
who have cast democratic ballots with
half heart, would gladly vote for him.
There certainly is no reason why old time
republicans, who have stood by the party
through thick and thin shouldn't do the
same thing. The son Of Kentucky abo-
ltionist, he is grounded in the faith, and
what man has been more diligcnt in good
works?-Nontpeler Fireman.
Dristow delegates are increasing. Ala

shows strong element of that kind among
Its representatives to the Cincinnati con-
vention, and Kentucky is expected to elect
an exclusively Bristow delegation to-day.

be despsed. He will be nominated for the
presidency If the convention faithfully re-
presents the republican party of the coun-
try, and would place before the people a
man whose designation would be generally
accepted rs equivalent to an election
