WORDS OF CAUTION.

Many OF our Republican contemporaries
have found fault with us because we have
frequently expressed the opinion that
the Republican party in Ohio will be d.
iealed at the coming eletion. 1t may be
the part of wisdom to carry sn election
10y brag and bluster. and abuse of the
very men who gave the grand and glori
Gus Republican party being, and who
have stood by it and made it a success
We do not so understand the matter
We find the following in one Of our
Republican exchanges:
The meeting Of a few disaffected Re-
publicans at Columbus last week to de.
nounce the course Of President Hayes
was rather an empty affair The attend
ance, all told, aggregated twenty five per.
soDs, and the resolutions adopted were
slightly "betwixt aud between" with
but little OF either about them. OF course
Mr. Hayes was bounced, but he has plpn-
~ OF friends outside Of the ranks Of these
twenty-five sore heads.
These plenty of friends" who are to
take the place OF the Republicans who
believe in principle, must be Democrats
That is a vain hope Democrats are not
going to vote the Republican ticket
There is no earthly, or other reason, why
they should do so at this time.
We happen to be acquainted with one
OF these twenty-five sore heads"
When the war broke out Gen Samuel
Thnp,aa was ot.ita a vo,,,, man lie .yaa
clerk at Keystone Furnace. in this coun-
ty. In July. 1861, the first three years
company raised in jackson cpun'y
left Keystone Station. This was Co E
9th Regiment. In that company was
young Thomas. He was regular cor.
respondent of the Standard, and some OF
the ablest letters we received, were those
signed Go. E."
Young Thomas rose from Lieutenant
to General, and did not leave the service
until some time after the close of the
war, still rendering service in the South
There is no truer Republican than
Gen Thomas The idea of such q man
being a "sore-head." is superlatively
ridiculous. He wants no Office And
he is one Of the committee woo drafted
the resolutions which we published last
week.
The New York Tribune contains the
following dispatch from Columbus
COLUMBUS, o, August Is.
The Anti Hayes Republican Commit
tee are in receipt OF q vast number OF let
ters from nearly every county IN the
State commencing the movement begun
here one week Hgo. Several OF the let
ttrs are from men heretofore active work
ers in the Republican ranks, who stood
prominent in their counties. Stanley
Matthews seems TO be the most severely
censurrd after President Hayes Our
correspondent denounced Judge West a.
Communist, and asked if il was a crime
tor a man TO own a Government bond
II added. Does the State OF Ohio wsni
dreamer for its GOVERNOR Gen Beat
" is enthu.iastic over what he consider
the success OF the revolt He states that
be is informed by temperance people
that the Prohibition ticket will receive a
larger vote this year than ever before;
ibAt heretofore wi ere principle was al
stake. the party had cast their vote near
ly solid tor the Republican candidates.
but now they have no reason for doing
40. The General is firm in the couVic
ton that at least 10000 Republicans in
Ohio will refuse TO vote the State ticket.
He says the Republican party in this
State is sadly demoralized; that never
before in its history did its candidate for
Governor put himself and party on the
defensive from the first by utterances
which must be explained and smoothtd
over. lie says also that while the work.
ingmen's movement may take some vote~
from the Democracy, it will in no way
help the Republicans. Under John 6
Thompson the Democracy will make the
campaign an aggressive one.
The Cincinnati Times one day last
week, contained the following editorial.
