Thurman feels relieved" some more now.
The Ohio Democrats have q kangaroo ticket.
VIII Tillen tap the barrel to perpetuate the Ohio
Idea!
The Ohio platform didn't say word about
Poor Uncle Dick. He must shake his own hand
in future.

Ohio biunder full swing.
Ewing must resign his seat IN Congress before he
sots sail for his defeat.
II Is very doubtful if Thurman's health will per-
NIT him to take the stump for Ewing
The enthusiasm of the Eastern Democratic editor
over the Ono brethren's work is not uproarious.
Hendricks must wonder where he is now. Thur
man is out of the way, but lo Ewing looms in his
stead.
How to achieve drgniied wriggle is the tough
problem which the Democratic intellect is now
tackling.

ant-Goyernor! 1t is too. too much
Your Uncle Dick enjoys the distinction of having
dropped out of sight more suddenly and completely
than any Governor on recond And yet he was an
expert mixer.
The gifted architect of the Ohio Democratic

President will veto the Appropriation bills If
riders are attached 10 them forbidding him TO en-
force existing laws.

Springer the sprigltiy, says that if the President
vetoes the last caucus plan the Democrats VIII then
have precisely the issue they want, That will be
tie third time they've had it-and didn't dare 10
hold it.
We have the authority of the Ohio Democrats for
the assertion that the revolutionary programme OF

tnre considerations" IF that is so let us all give
thanks that we have had no sample of the outcome
of the partys immature consideration.
Three resolutions of the Democratic platform of
Ohio are oracuar utterances the great burden Of

the Democratic party Of this county from destroy
ing the Union.
The Democratic editors in this latitude declare
with much delight that the nomination of two
Union soldiers by their party in ONO will spike the

credited him with the remark has made affidavit

Hendricks has the floor in the " fool" and COM
