.Ohio--General Ewing.

Last week we recommended TICKET 10
be made up Of THURMAN and EWING as
good one for the Ohio Democrats to nomi-
nate. We calculated that it would unite
alI&the elements of the party, and thus in:
sure success. Mr.. THURMAN, however, adj
hered firmly to his expressed intention not
TO run for the governorshp, and so it has
come TO pass that General EWING occupies
the first place on the ticket and is just now
the most conspicuous man Of his party in
the United States. On the result OF the
election 10 Ohio this fall may depend the
result of the presidential election next year.
Geaeral EwING's name heads a ticket
which combines within itself every ele-
ment Of popularity. He is rather too much
of greenback advocate to suit us; but
we need not say that we should heartily re-
ioice to SEQ the party OF hate defeated by
even the craziest OF greenback lunatics-ln
which class, however, General EWING is
not found. Greenbacks are not SO bad as
the horrid scenes Of disorder, humiliation,
disgrace, and corruption, which would fol-
low the success OF a party whose only ban
ner is the bloody shirt. In lieu OF express
ing any opinion Of our own as to the pros
poets OF the new ticket, we copy from the
Washington Post OF yesterday the subioin-
ed report OF several interviews with Ohio
men-men who are thoroughly posted:
The news OF the nomination OF General
Ewing for Governor by the Democratic
Convention Of Ohio spread rapidly through
the city yesterday afternoon, and the Gene
raj was Immediately overwhelmed with con-
studied the first ballot the result was not a
surprise, but the nomination was uneXpect-
ed by Democrats generally. Congratulatory
kilograms poured in upon General Ewing
from all portions OF his State and from lead
ing Democrats Of other States. One OF the
first received was from Governor Bishop,
who expressed great satisfaction at the re-
suit, and promised to put in his best HICKS
for the success OF the ticket.
The Post found General Ewing at his
residence last aight, and asked II he would
accept.

frankly. ST have not yet received any for
NAL notice OF my nomination, but shall
accept. The nomination IS highly gratifY-
ing to me because it was unsought. l was

nomination. but had notified my friends
that I would accept the nomination il it
were offered TO me-"
In conversation with his friends, General
Ewing expressed himself as confident OF his
ability 10 win in the canvass. He remarked
that the Republicans would have to lay aside
the bloody shirt in the canvass, as he aud
General Rice were both Federal soldiers,
while Foster was quiet civilian. He In
