A EUbeFnAfOR18l Candidate Captured
On Saturday week, Gen. Tom Ewing
went down from Lancaster to Morl ow, to
talk Democracy and greenback nonsense
to the people of that burg, and expecting
to return to Lancaster in the evening; |
but, when he arrived at this place, he |
was besought by political friends to stop !
off and address the Democracy here, as
they had held their nominating cOnven-
ton here on that day. Accordingly the
sieek-looking candidate for Governor was
captured at our depot on his return to
Lancaster, and forced to make a speech at
City Hall, notwithstanding he had made
arrangements to be taken to Lancaster
that night. He remained here over the
Sabbath.
The Circleville Herald, Miss Lilly Darst's
lively paper, tells the following good one
on the General:
"A pOrtly and well-groomed gentleman
passed through this city on Saturday
morning, en-route for Morrow. The 9:l5
| D. M train on the G.. &. NJ. V. road stops
at this city, and the gentleman was anx-
ious to secure carriage to take hlm 10
+ Lancaster from this place on his return.
He stepped to the platform and beckOned
Gus. O'Wiley, the alert agent of the Pick
I aXvav House. ftCan't you have a convey
> ance for me when ] return at > 10 to-
| night? | wish to go to Lancaster" 'tYes
sir. can order you carriage; but hadn't
Won better stop over with us? I'm en-
gagged at the Piekaway now; used to be
: at the American. We will give you a
It good roonl--you had better let me engage
: one for you.' The traveller replied that
Il he usually stopped at the American, and
it might be as well that he should not
e IA that he OPafaFrR6 on on
IS and some further conversation ensuedi
IT when the suaYe Gus. inquired, care you
: still in the agricultural implement bust
ness?' 81 guess you don't know me-
I 81 thought did, but guess not. " 81 an

particulars, ask a leading member of th'

4 ED. Mansfield in the Cincinnati
s. Gazette, of Saturday last,- publish a very
It sensible letter in which he says:
y Resumption is an accomplished fact
d A gold and paper dollar are worth tn
. same. Any man who wants gold cal
have it. The currency is increased in re
u ality by the amount of gold coin in tn
es country. Money is SO abundant tina
ne any man having any credit can borrow
money at less interest than cOuld ever be
fore have heen done in this country. Tn
= L
n wheat higher in gold than has been know
for several years. The banks are soun
), and safe, and only want business. Al
BE branches of business are reviving. L
nv one word, the country is on the risin
u tide of prosperity. What can the Demo
cratic orators say to that? Has govern
nj ment had anything to do with it? As
e suredly, say the Democrats; for the
D. Ehave been years charging on the Reput
- licans all the business depression of tn
country. That day is over. Now tn
lat country looms mp under the influence
IN a triumphant Republican success. III
ST. consequence is, politically, that Ewin
~ disgusts the people with long sheeche
" and is getting deeper and deeper into til
", mud. But what other issue has he? DaI
rs. he defend the record of the infamor
or Legislature, or of Congress, or of tt
- Confederate Brigadiers? 1t might su
10 some ofthe old Copperheads to tell the
IN, of Confederate success in Congress;
ill recite the boasts and glOrification of CO..
ed federate Generals fresh from the tiel
which they had fertilized with UniC
blood; but it would not suit thousands
'nf Democratic soldiers and patriots who st
love their country. Upon the whole the
seems nothing better for Ewing than
ng wander'abOut in his financial mud pu
r. die, where he seems like bullfrOg win
EN- the water is drying up.
