man with the record of George L. Con-
verse can be elected to Congress.
The total vote of the City of Columbus
at the late election was 9,5SI. Dayton cast
SOP, and Toledo s,046 votes. The above

Columbus vote more frequently than they |
do in Dayton or Toledo, or that we have |
a much larger Dispatch.
The financial question is about settled, |
but we are not done with the Democratic |
Legislature. Even if it should reform
entirely at the coming session, there was

which to get up another Republican vic
tory.-O. S. Journal.

saator Thurman be then?
Y. i. y Thurman left the Eastern De-
ovrDErN.,cy for the purpose of consolidating
his own State in his favor for the Presi-
dency. And now Ohio has 'tgone back
on him. -
The Democratic editors who insisted up
