trail Commlttee Of Ohio for many
years. The Republican newspa-
pets have wasted much ink and pa
per in predicting that Col. Thomp-
son would be dismissed from this
position, and there would hang
split In the party. They can no
longer play on this string, for the
Committee met in Columbus and
unanimously reelected Thompson
as their Chairman. AT the same
time, 1. F. Mckinney, formerly an
able member of Congress, was
elected Chairman Of the Execu-
tive Com mittee. These gentlemen
are old friends and will heartily CO.
operate in the management OF the
canvass. Our Democratic friends
In Ohio are TO be congratulated
upon such an auspicious beginning.
The Boston Post paragraphs thus:
And now it is announced that Cur
rie, the murderer, is an Ohio man.
Oh, State insatiate III Hayes
calls another extra session, 1t will
be conclusive proof that he has no
belief in a hereafter.--Blair, the
pugilist, has been at Washington
over week and not a door-keeper
has been mauled. Bill Chandler
must see that his tiger does his
duty.--The Republican candidate
for Governor of Maine was In the
army as full private. We believe
he deserved the distinction---If
Senator Chandler really wants to
sue the Washington Post for libel
on the old count, he certainly need
not be backward for lack of fresh
invitations.--Roscoe Conklipg
does not understand Charley Fos-
ter's Republicanism. 1t is very
much like Conkling's. 1t begins
and ends with a desire to get fat
place and keep it.--A "sassing"
match 'twixt Kearney and Conk'
ling would satisfy the Washington
Post. What can Denis have done
to the Post that it wants to see him
suffer defeat and mortification?--
The Texas Legislature orders that
hereafter drummers representing
houses out of that State pay a
special tax of $500 each. The har-
assed country merchant will now
try to get elected to the Legislature
in other States, so as to pass q SIM
liar law.--Mr. Garfield has sub
sided into comparative meekness.
A good many things have happened
to bring about this result, but
erhaps the speeci. OF iIo1. Frank
,'urd was the most potent agency
them all.--It is rumored that
ex-senator Dorsey, Of Arkan sas,
has made $200,000 in stock spec la
tions, and is about 10 start Repub'
lican daily paper with the proceeds.
Dorsey evidently doesn't care
much about money.-Don't let us
go back to the Revolution to dis
cuss the loyalty or disloyalty OF
historic Americans. The last
twenty years furnishes ell the
problems of that kind that we can
attend to. Settle Logan before
taking up Gales.-This looks like
| business. The almanaes for 1850
are beginning to appear. There
will be seven eclipses in that year
which may be counted on as cer-
tainty-four of the sun, two of the
moon and one of the Republican
party.-It is one of the wopders
of journalism that the New York
Times can hold on to lis faith in
the Republican party and at the
same time feel such profound
contempt for the majority of the
men managing that party as it
from time to time expresses.
Secretary McCrary doesn't think
the Burlington Uowa) Hdgkeye a
funny paper at all, in spite of its
reputation. 1t keeps giving inside
views of his political character AID
personal operations, and has al
ready advanced far enough in the
series to prove that the ambitious
Secretary of War is about the last
man who should be selected to fill
judicial position.
