We told you SO. In the room where
the two tramps, near Atlanta, Ga, Sc
creted themselves to commit two afro
cious murders, a copy of Deacon Smiths
Cincinnati Gazette was found. The
chances are that the Deacon will lose two
of his constant readers through the
workings of the cruel Georgia law.

The battle in Ohio is in the prepara-
tory stage, but the activities on both
sides indicate that it will be severe and
desperate. The heavy artillery will be-
gin to play about the middle of August,
and then the fur and fire will fly. Those
Ohioans are never at their best save
when they are fighting each other.

The Ohio campaign will open in few
weeks, and the heaviest Grcenback tai
ent in the country Will swoop down upon
the State to chin for fiat Piatt. "Behold,
as wild asses in the desert gather forth to
their work; rising betimes for prey"

Louisiana holds Cincinnati in grateful
recollection for the generous aid extend
ed our distressed people, and we at least
can not join in condemning her citizens
from seeking to protect herself. We can
only trust that kind Providence will
preserve her generous people from the
destroying pestilence that ravaged our
land and desolated so many homes.
[st. Louis Globe Democrat
We grieve to learn that our friend, Mr..
Joseph Medill, of the Chicago Tribune.
is the owner of the race-horse, "Sleepy
Tom" We had hoped for better things
of him. We are now prepared to hear
that the truly good Deacon Richard
Smith, of the Cincinnati Gazette, is the
proprietor Of brace faro game.

The President and Mrs. Hayes will
soon leave for Ohio in consequence of the
torrid weather at Washington. He will
find that State a very lonesome summer
resort as all his old friends are absent
holding down offices.

The "Ohio idea" seems to be that
every man in that State is to be the next
President.
[Chicago Inter-Ocean.l
The question agitating Cincinnati is
Will smoke wash?
Sleepy Tom is an Ohio horse, and Gen.
eral Tom Ewing is an Ohio man; would
it not be a capital idea for General Tom
to straddle Sleepy Tom and try pacing
toward the capital. If Tom can not ride
at 2:l2t gait, try Cary. Let him speak
one of those eloquent three-hour orations
as he flies, and just see how he will spread
the truth. One speech would reach from
Lake Erie to the Ohio River, and echo
out into Kentucky and Tennessee.

Ex-Postmaster Comfy was sent by Mr..
Hayes, on salary, to Sandwich Islands
to recuperate his health, undermined by
the climate of Columbus, Ohio. Ex-
Postmaster Comfy is now about to come
to Columbus, Ohio, still on a salary, to
recuperate his health, undermined by
the climate of the Sandwich Islands.

The creature Minor, at Cincinnati, is
again seeking to advance himself through
the fears of the cowardly Cincinnatians.
The little fool may be sure that every
Louisville passenger can show clean
bill of health. Louisville may this year
quarantine against Cincinnati.

1t is hideous mistake to suppose that
Pinafore has been exhausted. A theatri- |
cal manager in Cincinnati has struck
upon something novel in that line. He
proposes to anchor model man-of- war
in the big lake Of the Geological Garden,
and produce the sparkling little opera on
the main deck with the natural accom-
paniments of water and moonlight. A
special company has been engaged for
the work in New York. When the man
ager gets through with Cincinnati he
should make all excursion with his vessel
on the Miami and Erie Canal.

Judge Taft wants to be Senator from
Ohio. His chances, however, are greatly |
inferior to those of Garfield. Taft would |
have been chosen candidate for Governor,
instead of Foster, but he was so stiff and
dignfied that none of the delegations
could approach him, and went off and !
voted for Foster The same thing will /
beat the old Judge this year for Senator.
