The Feeling
Among most people is that the ticket is
a fair, average one-possibly notso strong
DIS some that have been nominated in
years past, but still ticket that the par
ty can 90 before the people with conf

ly an unfortunate move on the part Of
Gen. Ewing to allow his name to 60 be-
fore the convention when he did, when
Bishops nomination was almost certain
but it was done against his better ldg'
ment, to crafty the partiality of his
friends, who were confident that the mere
announcement of his name would con.
centrate the strength of all other candi.
dates on him, The Cleveland delegation
say to night they would have given their
thirty votes solid to Ward on the sixth
{ ballot ifthey hadn't feared Ewing would
have stood chance Of lengthening the
contest and securing the nomination
The feeling is that Bishops name will
give Hamilton county to the Democracy
/ by a handsome majority, and the fac

great popularity throughout the State.
