Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1876-06-23

The German societies of Cincinnati have
invited Gov. Hayes to be present at their
Centennial Festival on the 4th Of July,
and assured him Of their unanimous sup
port in the campaign.
s.Mr. Blaine, said gentleman this
Spring. who is the Great Unknown? The
Great UnlnoEnY repeated Mr.. Blaine in
his CHEEKY way; well, the Great Unknown
is named Rutherford B. Hayes, of Ohio"
The British court has discharged Wins
low, refusing to surrender him under the
the existing law, and the United States re-
fusing to negotiate new treaty enlsrging
the extradition of fugitives from justice.
Thest. Louis Republican, the sblest
Democratic paper IN Missouri, admits that
it is useless to disguise the fact that the
tickst-Hayes and Wheeler-is a very
strong one, presenting elements Of politi-
cal success.
San Francisco has no tolerance for the
Cinnamon, who, while undergoing punish
ment for small city offences, have their pig
tails Topped OF, notwithstanding the reHg-
ious reverence entertained for them by
the wearers.
Some Of our earping Democratic friends
complain that Gov. Hayes is unknown. If
man who has been made a Major General,
has been three times elected Governor of
the third State in the Union, is unknown,
how many of US viii ever become famous?
Afwarm debate took place in the Cincin-
matt convention on the resolution looking
10 hostile legislation on the Chinese ques-
tion. A motion to strike out the resolu-
ton was voted down by a vote of nearly
two to tone. The resolution itself means
nothing.
Thurlow Weed indorses the nomination
in the highest terms. BE says that
the ticket is the strongest that could
be nominated, and he thinks that Gov.
Hayes might as well begin to pack his goods
ready for shipment to the White House
next Spring.
The bungling and stupid mismanage-
ment of the Democratic House is likely to
be followed by serious consequences. But
seven more wOrkngi days remain before
the close Of the fiscal year, and there is
cheerful prospect that on the 1st Of July
the government wiz come to stand-stin
for the want Of funds. A message from
the President expresses the gravity of the
situation.
A female suffrage resolution was sub
mitted to the Cincinnati convention, and
sustained in speech from female har-
anguist. There are two things that these
crazy sufragists forget. One is-that but
a small portion Of men, and a very much |
smaller number Of women, desire woman's
suffrage, and the other is that there is al
ready too much suffrage for the best in
tsrests Of the country.
The Cincinnati Commercial says this, as
justly due to the Republican National Con-
vsntion: eve doubt if eYerbefor larger
number Of men gathered for political pur-
poses yere 50 deeorous IN department, or
Of higher character for intel ligence. It
was in all resp ects superior to any of its
predecessors Of which we have knowledge,
and was striking Illustration Of the pos
sibility Of making the advance in ciyilizA-
ton more apparent in orr politics.
Evidences come from every quarter at
testing the strength and popularity Of the
Cincinnati nominations. No national tick
ct ever gave such satisfaction in Ohio, and
none ever more thoroughly harmonized the
party. Gov. Hayes continues
to receive congratulations By hundreds
from all parts Of Che country, and many
assurances Of support are coming from un-
expected quarters. The Germans and Lib
sral Republicans are very generally deelar-
ing for Hayes and Wheeler, and the press
n Ohio, excepting the regular Democratic
argrns, i substantially a unit for that
ticdet. RI
