Gen. Aquila Wiley, who was nomina-
ted on the 18th for Congress, in the Por.
tage-Stark district, is one of the ablest,
yet one of the most modest men in Ohio
He served CALAMITY in the war, and lost
leg at Mission Ridge. In 1872 was the
Democratic candidate for Secretary of
State, and made splendid canvass. He
is now Probate Judge of Wayne county,
and was nominated for Congress against
his wishes. Judge Kenny of Ashland,
in nominating him aptly said, General
Wiley has given one leg to his country,
and he must now give the remainder of
his body to the Democracy."-C Co8hocton

The Democrats of the Wayne.stark
district have nominated that brave sold
ier and excellent Democrat, Gen. Wiley,
of Wooster, as their candidate for Con.
gress. The district was Democratic last
October by about 800,-NeaUark Advocote.
Gen. Wiley Unexpectedly received the
nomination for Congress in the 10th dis
trict. Gen. Wiley lost a leg in the army,
but still he made this surprising run to
the infinite disgust of the ready.to howl
Republicans. Eshelman, who was the
regular Wayne county candidate has
since been nominated for Probate Judge,
the Office that Wiley now holds, and was
a candidate for reelection. This turn.
about makes the political goose hang al
titudilum' in Wayne county. As for Nc.
Gregor of Stark, he will stand on his ma
tive heath, and will do valiant work for
the gallant one'legged soldier who dis
tanCed him in the race for the nomina-
tion.- Youngstown VindiCGtor.
The Portage county Democrats are
we'll pleased with the nomination of
Gen. Wiley for Congress, and will give
him an enthusiastic support. A great
deal depends upon Portage in this con-
test, and we hope and believe her De-
mocracy are equal to the OCCASION

McGregor, Eshelman, Warwick and
the other candidates who went to Mas
sillon full of expectation as to the Con.
gressional nomination, all 60 home dis
appointed; but the disappointment is not
so great as it would ha 7e been had one
of the original competitors gained the
prize. The convention threw the whole
irreconcilable crowd overheard and nom
mated Gen. Aquila Wiley Of Wayne Co,
Gen. Wiley was the Democratic candi-
date for Secretary of State in 1872, and
was defeated by Gen. WVkof. Major
Mckinley will probably make it warm
for him in 1878.-StGte Journal, Rep.

it was found impossible to nominate Ell
