Several Eastern papers mention with
some degree of surprise the fact that
many hard-money Democrats of Ohio
have expressed a determination to vote
for Mr. Foster in preference to Mr.. Ew-
ing. There is no cause for surprise. Mr.
Ewing SAYS the paramount issue in the
coming election is the financial question.
He is soft-mOney man. How can hon
est hard-money Democrats support him ?
1t will be a surprise if any of them do
Cincinnati Times.
Ewing has captured the Sam. Cary
wing of the Ohio Nationals, and will re-
eeive their votes for Governor. By this
scheme, which he has 1abored hard to
carry cut, he viii loose the votes of a
great many Democrats who have never
adhered to the soft money heresies of
either Democrats or Nationals, and who
will be alarmed at the coalition, and de-
termined not to allow it to gain suprem-
acy. Every eoRtFivanee of this kind is a
signal of distress from the Ewing camp,
and only renders Fosters victory more
certain.-St. Louis Gtobe-Demoerat.

sists and reiteFates that General Shields
was q Democrat Even so. He was
also a patriot and soldier; and when
broken in fortune and health he sought
/ the position of DoorkeePer of the House
/ of Representatives, Generals Ewing and
Rice, then members of the House, for
j getting and ignoring Democracy and pat
1 riotism, voted against him, and gave their
votes in favor of Field, of Georgia, Con-
federate Brigadier, and elected him. And

There Is nothing that succeeds like sue
cess, and resumption has been splendid
i success. Business, under the wholesome
stimulus of sound money, is rapidly re-
| covering. Failures are rare. Prices OF
all products of the shop, the furnace, the
/ factory and the soil, are speedily advanc-
ing to a standard which will pay the Ia
Dor which brings them forth q handsome
profit. The State Of Ohio is the last place
where an attempt to reverse this condi-
ton, or to seriously disturb it, can be tried
4 with success. The people up there, like
all solid and intelligent communities, are
conservative. Rant goes for little among
them. They look to results, and wheT
they have 90 good thing they know
enough to keep tic attqnooga Times.
The talk about Democracy on the bat
: tle-field, and that sort OF thing, in con
nection with the candidacy of Ewing and
Rice, Is very pretty, but the old liners OF
the party are slow to understand W hat 1
all means, At the Allen. county Demo
cratic Convention Saturday, Mr.. McCnl
Tough, the candidate for Representative
pledged himself as adevoted adherent tt
the doctrine of State Rights, and paid
tender tribute to tile memory OF tn
