SOME OHIO MEN
Briefly Discussed BY their Admiring
Neighbors.
Inter- ocean,

Hnter- ocean,
Mr.. Keifer, member of Congress from
Ohio, is hard-money man and an inti-
mate friend Of the President, but he
says:
"Any one who has the slightest knowl-
edge Of the business interests of the coun-
try will say that the thing we need in
this country is to quit financial agitation
and legislation until we are entirely re-
covered from the reverses we have ex-
perienced resulting from an inflated, de-
preciated currency"
Sensible, Keifer.

The Cincinnati Commercial Is terribly
disgruntled at the reception Grant is re-
ceiving all over the country, and thinks
the nation is in danger. 1t compares his
career to Caesar and Napoleon, and looks
upon a third term as being equivalent to
q crown. 1t is for Sherman.

The distinguished editor Of the Oko-
Iona Howler, who emigrated from the
loyal State of Ohio few years ago with
his only extra shirt wrapped in cotton
handkerchief, and at once placed himself
at the head Of the Southern forces which
neglected to disband after the surrender
of Lee, announces that the South recog-
nizes Grant as despot, tiend iucarnate
and dodo, and if he is placed in power
for third term she (the SOUTH will
stand ready to resist his usurpation vi ct
armis. There is no doubt that Grant is
bad citizen, but if he should be elected
to third term with anything like fair
ness, it would not be well for the Okolona
citizen of Ohio to commence vi ct armis-
ing without due delberation. There
should be at least a caucus.

The truly good Deacon Richard Smith
did not gush much over Grant. eve are
seldom carried away by enthusiasm" :"
An iceberg could have said as much.

The allurements offered BY Chicago
must have been powerful, indeed, to
steel the hearts of the Republican Ma
tional Committeeman against the hon.
eyed persuasions of the truly good Dea-
con Richard Smith. If the pork-packing
Paris of America lost its cause, it was not
for lack of a jealous advocate. Possibly
some of the numerous Young Mems
Christian Associations, which Deacon
Richard Smith is in the habit of address
ing on spiritual topics, may be puzzled at
first to reconcile his we'll established rep
utation for true goodness with the assur-
ance to the Committeeman that the
price of lager beer would not be raised
during the sitting of the Convention.
But the matter is simple. In the first
place the truly good Deacon gave this
assurance in the heat Of argument. In
the second place, he was provoked to it
by the Chicago men, who had pledged
themselves that their beer-notoriously
inferior to the Cincinnati article-should
be sold to thirsting delegates at normal
rates. In the third place, it is altogether
probable the truly good man has been
persuaded by his wicked partners, that
lager is a strictly temperance drink
wholly devoid Of intoxicating properties

If Cincinnati or Ohio should happen
by accident to have Presidential candi

and they will see that Chicago will Civ,
him cordial welcome and fair chanc,

not howl on the track of every man WHIT
sees fit to aspire to nomination. Th'
field is open, and may the best man win
A former incident leads us to express
also, a hope that the very liberal prom
ises which Chicago has made to get tn
Convention will in this instance be full

| The good deacon is modest, and onl,
mentions it as "a former incident; bu
we know what he means all the same
and in advance assure him that the pric,
of lager shall not 60 above nickel t.

The morality of town has good dea
to do with its selection as a place TO
