By the circumstance that 1t holds its
election in October, Ohio is supposed to
speak for the entire Union. This benefits
no party permanently and it would save
expense, labor and much distress of con-
science if the time of holding the State
election were made to correspond with
that of the States voting in November.
OF course no such alteration could be ac-
complished as party measure, but there
ought to be enough patriotic and sensi-
bic men in both organizations to bring it
about. 1t will be much to be regretted
if the Ohio Legislature at its coming
session does not take some action in the
matter.

Mr.. Thomas Ambrose, Clerk of the
United States Court in Cincinnati, has in
seven years laid away about $4,000 in
the shane of over-charges in his office,
Mr.. Ambrose is a firm believer in the
doctrine that this is a Nation with a
large ny and not day passes that he
does not view with alarm the shameful
encroachments of the wicked South upon
the rights and privileges of the loyal
North. Ii Mr.. Ambrose gets what is due
him he will view the encroachments OF
the South for the next year or two from
the iron grating of some commodious
Jail.

The Hon. Edward F. Noyes, the United
States Minister to France, has arrived at
Constantinople on his way to Egypt. He
should visit Paris occasionally.
Governor Bishop is indulging in the
luxury of a libel suit against the good
deacon Smith, laying his damages at
100000.

If Field Marshal Halstead were sent to
the United States Senate he would only
be kept constantly embroiled with the
Philistines of his own party. The Field
Mashal wants plenty of room to maneu-
yer his independence, and the Senate
would not afford it. Let us all hope that
the "soaring mind" of the Cincinnati
Commercial will never be Gagged in Wash
ington.
"On the WHOLE" says the London
Truth, "Grant may be described as about
the one great gun America has turned
out since Washington--Lincoln, perhaps,
and Longfellow certainly excepted" This
only shows how absolutely ignorant of
America these Englshmen are. They do
not even seem to have heard of Deacon
Richard Smith, or Mr. Childs, Or the
Count Johannes, or Eli Perkins.

Mrs. Senator Thurman and other ladies
Of Ohio offered handsome silk flag to
the Democrats of the county which, in
the recent election, should show the
largest gains over the vote cast i'll 1878.
The flag was awarded the other day, and
it went to the county in which the Chair
man of the Republican Executive Com
mittee resides. There is whole volume
of comment in this fact, which it is safe
to say will not be appreciated by Chair
man Robinson at least.
New York Tribune.l
Mr.. Ewing is reported as reproaching
the Republican party of Ohio for not
trouncing him worse, "in view of the re-
suit in New York" This seems unrea-
sonable 1t recalls the case of the boy
who cried and "took on" because his
mother put larger mustard plaster on
his brother than she did on him.

Milk is high at Cincinnati, and there
is scarcity of water. But as long as lager
is cheap the average Cincinnatian will
not complain.
Nashville Banner.l
In the hurly buny of elections, the
great loss the Senate is about to sustain by
the retirement of Mr.. Thurman is over
looked. When this distinguished gentle
man entered the Senate he had but few
comrades of the Democratic faith.
When he leaves, he leaves a majority in
that body, and it is fair to say he con-
tributed to that end more than any one
man.

Private Dalzell, the Ohio fe-eater,
has found vacant corner in the New
York Sun, into which he sticks this bit
of idiocv:
"A solid North for the Union answers a
solid South against the Union. But that
is but zephyr. Wait till you hear the
tempest voice of 1880. The Boys in Blue
rescued this land from rebels by arms in
1865, and from rebels by ballots in 1879
Next year, by ballots or by bullets, OF
both, they will do it again"
Mr. Dalzell, permit up to introduce
you to Mr. Herman, editor of the Oko
Iona Howler. Now you lunatics car
settle this business between you, anc
may the man be blowed who first cries
Enough"
