The nominees of the Democratic
party of Ohio for Governor and Lieu.
tenant Governor, is the most popu.
lar and best received ticket ever put
out by any party. They are states,
men and soldiers-honest, able and
consistent men-thoroughly interes.
ted in the peoples interests and de.
voted to the Union. They are toe
well known to need any introduction
to our readers. The people will elect
them to the honorable positions to
which they r called. The whole
ticket is unexceptionable, and the
enthusiasm it has created among
all classes proves its popularity. II
is bound to win.

JOHN SHERMAN is lauded and pro-
nounced a great %financier by the Re-

done great things, and financed the

fast hurrying to the tomb OF the Cap

vascillating policies, the shuttle cock
ofthe Liberals and stalwarts, is bat
a sorry exhibition. of the failure of a
political general who cannot tel to.

The Republican platform condemns
the President for refusing to approve
the appropriation bills, in it's attempt
to show the Democratic, is a party
to ''break up the government by re-
fusing to appropriate money to the
legitimate object" The Democrat,
ic Congress has made the appropria-
lions, and said they shall only be
used for Legitimate Objects" The
President says they shall not be
used unless he can also use them for
the payment of Deputy Marshals
and for troops at the polls.

The next day after the Republican
Convention the Cincinnati CONNER

cd there a "6ore," and in answer to
a correspondent who wanted to know
what is The matter with the plat
form, the Commercial said:
"a correspondent wants to know
what is the matter with the Repub
lican State Platform. 1t is, in the
first place, clumsy. Then it is a
muddle. One can make out the
general meaning and tendency OF
the Platform; but there isn't a sen
tcnco in it fit to be shown on a trans
parency."

FOSTER.
Some Handwriting Already on the
Wall.

The views of Mr.. Foster upon the
question of Supervisors of Elections
and the general conduct of the Re
publican party in the Southern
States are also a matter of record.
He went to Louisiana, as a member
of a Congressional Committee, and
reported what he saw. He may he
a very honest man; lie is doubtless
too honest; but here is a part of his
opinion of the Republican party:
"The general condition of affairs
in the State of Louisiana seems to
be as follows: The conviction has
been general among the whites since
1872 that the Kellogg Government
was n usurpation. This conviction
among them has been strengthened
by the acts of the Kellogg Legisla
ture ~abolishing existing Couits and
Judges and substituting others, pre-
sided over by Judges appointed BY
Kellogg, having extraordinary and
exclusive Jurisdiction over political
questions; by changes in the laws,
centralizing in the Governor every
form of political control, including
the supervision of elections; by con
tinuing the Returning Board, with
absolute power over the returns, of
the elections, by the extraordinary
provisions enacted for the trial of
titles and claims to Office by the
conversion of the police force, main
tanned ut the expense of the City OF
/. New Orleans, into an ayowed brig
ade of the State militia. subject to
the command of the Governor; BY
the creation in some places Of mon
opolies in markets, gas-making, Wa
ter-gorks, and ferries, cleaning
vaults and removing filth, and doing
work as wharfings; by the abolition
of Courts with elective Judges, and
the substitution of other Courts with
f Judges appointed by Kellogg in eva
sion of the Constitution of the State:
by enactments publishing crimihaHl
all persons whe attempted to fill Of
fetal pc, itions unless returned by
the Returning Board, by unlimited
. appropriations for the payment o
Legislative warrants, vouchers ant
checks issued during the year 1871
and 1872; by laws declaring that NJ
? persons in arrears for taxes aiter de
| fault published shall bring any sui
in any Court of the State, or be al
lowed to be a witness in his own he
half-mcasures which, when couple,
with the extraordinary burdens Q

/, language of Governor Kellogg
council, is ga degree of power in tn
: Governor of q State scarcely excl
cised by any sovereign in the world.
To-day Foster stands on a plat
form that calls for Federal inter
i ference in State elections. Did b

u will be mistaken.

The Portsmouth Times tersely
says: The Republican Senate re-
fused to pass the appropriation bills
which a Democratic House had en-
acted. Hence their defeat and the
extra session of Congress. A Con-
fgress, Democratic in both branches,
has passed these appropriation bills,
providing ample supplies for the
army and the government. Hayes
has, for partisan purposes, and with
thinly disguised excuses, vetoed
these measures. Who is therefore
responsible for the failure of the
supply bills. Those who supported
them or those who caused their de-
feat? The country will not be de-
ceived.

In connection with the demand

hear much said about a revival of
trade and a general looking up of
business o fthe country. The rapid

rate of four per cent, is a coatradic,
tion to all such statements. Look
over our town. and county,! How
many new houses are going up?
What new branches of industry are
starting into existence? Wherein
has the trade Of the country increas-
led? These bonds are draining the
country of the money that is needed
in every community for legitimate
trade. The government in the sale
of the $40 certificates, as in the sale
of its other bonds has made it posi-,
