Communism in the Ohio Campaign.

We cory in another part Of this paper the
important portion of the speech In which
Judge WEST. the Republican candidate for
Governor of ohio, accepted the nomination
offered him In this speech the idea Of
regulating by legislation the rates Of
wages aud the relations between labor
and capital is unQuallicdly avowcd. Thus
the Socialstic programme Of the Convention
is echoed in the declarations of the candi-
date; and the Communism Of the platform.
which so many Republican journals have
represented as cap-trap designed merely
10 catch votes, il put forth ia the most cu-
phatic manner as the great novel issue of
the campaign.

ing two years Of wandcrings in foreign
lands. That story was reproduced i'll the san
Francisco Chronicle, and caused great sem
sation On the Pacific coast. SARGENT and
his associates saw their doom was sealed
unless these and other charges could be
completely rcpcllcd and instead Of meeting
them explicitly, they sought TO have the
chronicle indicted for libel in every
county Of the State Finally, an in
dictmcnt was procured in FL Dorado
county against CHARLES and W. H. DE-
lOUNG proprctors of the Chronicle. In
order To make up his defence, CHARLES De
NOUNG applied to tho departments for certi-
fled copies of the recommendations made by
SARGENT, for use in evidence in the trial for
alleged libel against that Senator. JONI
SHERMAN was the first to answer this appli
cation having long been an intimate friend
and political confederate Of SARGENT in all
the scandalous partisan Legislation of the
last ten years. His reply is characteristic:

The Rev. James F. Merriam has
been officiating for a few months as pas
tor of Congregational church in
Springfield, Mass. He was liked by
the congregation, and n council was
called for his formal installation. He
read statement of his religious belief,
as is customary, and it contained the
following: "ln regard to the matter of
the punishment of those impenitent at
death, | believe tie Bible does not teach
it; nor do believe it teaches the con-
trary. 1t leaves the question an open
one. Hence, in my public teaching and
misistry, as minister of the Gospel, |
would teach neither the one nor the
other. In my private judgment and be-
lief | hold that future punishment, if
eternal in any sense, is so in the sense
that it is eternal death or annihilation. "
Thereupon the council voted that Mr..
Merriam was theologically unsound,
and refused to install him.

1t is extraordinary how the royal

the Prince of Wales all but did so;
Prince Leopold some time since had en-
