DEyYIsoN, the political scare-crow OF
Ohio, is working hard TO cut III ahead OF
Garfield for the Senatorship if the Re-
publicans carry the Legislature. Den
nisOn and Garfield will probably have a
chance TO coudole with each other, for
even the Republicans, with all their ex-
travagant claims, admit that the Demo-
Gratis are looking after the Legislative
districts with an earnestness which bids
fair to insure success.-DetrOb Free

Mr.. CHARLES WooLLEY, a prominent
Democrat of Cincinnati, cOntides to the
ENQUIRER that "the impression down
here is that the Democracy will be de-
feated this fall" He says there is haI-
monv enough among the Democrats,
but an alarming apathy, and the dam
ger is that large number will remain
away from the polls unless there is a
fire built under them" If this is the
case the Central Committee should or
game 4 corps of incendiaries to make
bonfires under the boys and warm them
up.-hudidnGpoiis Journal.
EVEN President Hayes himself, who
is a modest man, seems to be OF the
opinion that Ohio is the only State that
can pro luce Presidential timber. He
told an interviewer at Cincinnati that
in his opinion Tilden "would be the
easiest man beaten the Democrats could
nominate" and when asked who he
thought was the best man the Demo
Gratis could nominate, he named George
III. Pendleton. PendletOn is undoubt-
edly man of ability, and is by no
means as soft on the money question
as he makes out.-Bdhim0re Americdn.
Ir is gravely published to the world
that on his farm at FOstOria, Mr.. Foster,
the candidate for Governor OF Ohio,
raises potatoes that weigh two pounds.
II is not clearly defined that it is one
potato, two potatoes, or hall dozen
potatoes which weigh two pounds, and
it is strongly suspected there is atrick
in the statement intended to catch the
Irish vote, as well as that OF rural citi-
zens whose souls are completely rapt
in the divine mysteries of potato culture.
These should insist that the Republi
can Executive Committee, to which the
statement can doubtless be traced, ex-
plain to the people, with appropriate
aflidavits, whether Mr.. Foster has rails
ed potatoes which weigh two pounds
each, and if so, how many and OF what
kind.-PdtsJtTgh Dispatch.
