The Pittsburgh Post has this to
say for Ohio, which by the way is a
political compliment:
"TLey get up more politics in Ohio
to the square inch than in any other
State in the Union. The people as a
whole are better posted on politics
than in any other State. And they
have stronger politicians and organ
izations, better stumpers and a more
aggressive press in Ohio than in 9Th
er States. Both parties have their
war paint on all the time and in the
intervals between elections, sleep ON
their arms. Every canvass produces
a crop of ideas and eliminates from
the common herd a rising statesman
or a Presidential aspirant."

In a former issue we gave a list of
candidates for Representative in the
Republican party, any one of whom
is the superior of Mr., SEUBBs in every
particular which goes to make up
qualification for Representative at
this critical time. We would ask
the candid Republican to give a reas-
on why they ignored such men as
Dougherty, Minor, Welsh, Aker,
VIM. Campbell, Barnard, hurry,
Mills, and a score of others, who have
practical business experience and
qualifications? Mi. Stubs is a
young inexperienced man, a mere
novice in politics and the business
affairs of the State. He is no doubt
a good farmer and a quiet citizen,
but when and where has his services
to the public been rendered that he
should he put forward against such
men as we have named. Mr.. Haw-
ley is Mr.. Stubbs' superior in point
of ability and experience, and under
former rules of the party was enti-
tied to a denomination, but in these
times of rings and family cembina-
lions, the voice and welfare of the
people are ignored by a ring which
looks and cares only for it's own in

THE CAMPAIGN OPENED

The campaign on the part of the
Democracy of Ohio, was opened last
Thursday evening at Columbus, by
Hon. GEO. H. PENDLEToN and Hon.
THos. EWING. Their names a tower
of strength, would alone be a guaran-
tee of ability to sound clearly and ell
oquently the key notes of the great
campaign. Among the gems of po-
litical literature there will be, we pre-,
sumo, non during the coming strug-
gle which will excel the following
from Mr.. PENDLEroN's able speech:
"But down at the bottom, under
lying this conflict, which is but an
incident and symptom, there is a
graver conflict and a mightier strug
gle, arraying greater forces, and
stimulating more gigantic efforts. 1t
is the conflict between that capital
which employs no human labor,
which works with no human hands,
which never pauses by night or by
day, in winter-snows, or summer
heat, or autumn-rains, which never
wearies, never rests, never loses, but
ever gathers in its increase and its
interest--and that capital which EN-
ploys labor, feeds enterprise, stimu-
lates industry and brings into activ-
ity and cooperation the hand, the
head, the busy brain, the cunning
ingenuity, the productive energies of
all the forces of accumulated wealth
and human vigor. 1t is the conflict
between that capital which seizes the
production of others and that capital
which itself produces. 1t is the con-
fict between the Money Power and
the Industries of the country"
Gen. EWING most eloquently dis
cussed the financial issues, and for
titled the positions he took by the
teachings of past experience-point-
ed out the true road to resumption
and denounced the folly and madness
of a policy which in the interest of
the capitalist has made labor and life
so cheap and money so dear. Both
of these able speeches should be read,
not by democrats only, but by every
one who in the darkness of the pres
ent hopes for better days in future.
