THE OHIO CONVENTION.
why 1t Was Called mt GTeyeIa I, Il

The machine politicians of the Re-
publican persuasion-those who would
throw mud at Hayes with the same del
icacy with which they licked Grants
boots-propose to capture the Cleveland
Convention. They were thinking of
this as long ago as when they called
the Convention. Cleveland was the
spot that had Blaine taint in IL before
the National Convention in Cincinnati.
It contains disappointed editor. The
Garfield movement is in that neighbor-
hood. Ben Wade's bursting indigna-
tion is not remote. Travel between New
England and the Northwest is on the
Cleveland route. Packard can pass that
way. Chamberlain may make @ call
The easy thing to do is to shy dead
cat or two at Hayes because he did not
dispense his magnetic sure cure for
sore heads according to great expecta-
tions. The machinery is in motion,
and the elements of dissatisfaction are
concentrating at Cleveland.

THE COssACKs.
Some Of their Good Qualities as soldiers
How they are supplied During War


How they are supplied During wa,
Times.
The Cossacks tie their horses to a
double line Of ropes. and appear to
bivouac by the side of the animals, SO
compact is the arrangement of their
camp, and the field artillery park their
guns with great care at the end Of each
days march. The Cossack is conun-
drum. He Is sometimes mounted on a
serawny beast of q horse, and sometimes
Is seen on snowy animal that has
much more style than his rider. Perehed
up ON saddle that Is made of wooden
tree, with O great cushion on top that
may be removed at will. and pommel
at least eight inches high, it Is some
times difficult to tell the rough-looking
fellow from native farmhand. He
always seems, however, to be going
somewhere, both his horse and himself
have a business air about them, and q
complete disregard OF anybody or any
thing.
A Cossack will sleep In the middle Of
the road or across the sidewalk with as
much freedom as in his own tent-if he
ever had tent. He sleeps anywhere
and at any time, and seems to like It,.
There Is a corps of six hundred Of these
fellows, it is said, who are selected as
scouts because they are uncommonly
quick to see and hear. Their activity
in other respects no one can doubt. A
battalion OF Cossacks has no frills
about ito indulge in slang little, it
is all for service and has all seen ser
vice. Dust-colored uniforms, wiry
horses, bright, active men, there does
not seem to be- an ounce Of superfluous
baggage or an extra bullet. It is a
gypsy-looking crowd, but it does one
good to see them scamper past.
Next to these the most original thing
is the supply train. It is composed OF
various kinds Of wagons, all much after
the same pattern as regards the heavy
wheels and frame, but varying from O
wicker body to box or to a tray like a
half hogshead. Few of the wagons are
much larger than half hogshead,
either, and none Of them heavier than q
small express wagon. They have no
springs and no cover, except loose tar
paulin or bundle OF old canvas. These
small, bony beasts, which would be
called ponies anywhere else, trot along
with the carts as nimbly as cats, and q
on the top, is perhaps the only load
OF course it takes four times the num-
ber Of wagons to make an American
train carrying the same weight. But
the active little ponies are as enduring
as mules, and q train moves with great
rapidity. 1t looks, however, like cara
van OF gypsies, and when at camp like
a bivouao Of the same wanderers, for
the drivers sleep anywhere they find
the softest bed, picket their horses
without any order and use the great
wooden bow, that spans the neck of
the middle horse, for crane over the

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.
baltimore Gazette. |


The Republican politicians are getting
daily more alarmed over the Ohio cam
paign. Senator Patterson, feeling hos
the State will go Democratic, and by a
good majority. Others, who are friend
ly disposed toward Mr.. Hayes, have
opened their eyes to the fact that the
Republicans of Ohio are fretting under
Stanley Matthews dynasty. They
learn with considerable uneasiness
that the Democrats have matured plan
for securing the Legislature even at the
expense Of the Governorship. In that
State the Governor is a mere figure
head anyhow. He signs few creden-
tials, but the Secretary of State really
transaets all business OF importance.
Hence they have decided that Demo-
cratic Legislature is OF more consequence
in the long run, as 1t will help along the
general plan of changing the political
complexion Of the Senate, and will has
ten the day when the government will
be practically In the hands of the Dem
ocratic party. From this time on the
Democratic leaders will bend all their
energies in the canvass in that direc-
ton. In this they will be aided not
only by the financial issues they have
raised against the Sherman policy, but
also by the opposition which has been
excited in the Republican ranks by the
attempt which is being made by the
friends Of Stanley Matthews to force
that gentleman down the throats Of the
party for the Senate in case the Iegis-
lature should go their way, 1t will be
remembered that when the senatorial
fight was thickest the opponents of
Matthews were trying to make capital
against him by claiming that it was his
duty to contest the election of Banning to
the House instead Of figuring for the
Senate and allowing the Banning case
to go by default. 1t is now learned from
the most reliable private sources that
this feeling has grown very extensively
in the party during the past few weeks,
especially since the Democratic Judge
who had been seated on the merits of
the returns in BanninS's district has
been required to stand down and let the
Republican have the place. This was
the case in which the notorious Eph. Hol-
land testified that he had voted several
hundred men illegally. The friends of
Garfield have not yet forgotten their
chagrin at the way their friend was re-
tired from the Senate contest in the
interest OF Stanley Matthews, and they
are open now in their programme for
revenge, and are using this same argu-
ment. The supporters of Matthews
confess that they will have to modify
their demands, and admit that the
prize shalf be open to all contestants,
and not covered by any Matthews
Foster, as we'll as Garfield.
Is showing his hand, though he has
been heard to say that he
would not come in competition with
Garfield in any manner
