AS TO his candidacy for Governor,
General Ewing, in letter to newspa-
per correspondent in Columbus, says: Il
am not seeking the nomination. and will
only accept it if it gravitates to me by
force of circumstances" That s;gaifieS,
perhaps, that if the specific gravity OF
the nomination be equivalent to the raS-
baby, the General expects it to lod'e
him; if equivalent to silver, Warle
will catch it; but if it chance to be heiyy
as gold, it will "grayitate" to Bishop OF

WHEN it is merely the protection of
the right of the people to vote and to
have their ballots and no more counted,
the Democrats in Congress are mighty
sticklers on constitutional points and
profess to believe that when the Censti-
tuition gave Congress the power to regu-
late congressional elections it never
meant, that the power should be used.
But when it comes to any matter in
which. they are interested constitutional
scruples occasion them very little
trouble. The Southern members want
to get a national quarantine law under
whose provisions offences against State
sanitary regulations shall be tried in the
United States courts. The proposition is
one which the vehement objectors to fed
eral encroachments might well view
with alarm, but we find Republican SEN
ators appearing as defenders of State
rights. while the Southerners seem to
care for nothing SO long as they get the
bill through, 80 ..a1ae l5f.c q

THE House of Representatives finally
passed, on Saturday, the Silver Bill, by a
vote of ia to 81, but not until the Re
publicans had carried their point and
secured vote on the Ryan substitute.
The night session on Friday lasted until
A. NJ on Saturday, and it was marked
by the peculiar scenes of night session.
At 9 A. NJ. adjournment was made until
noon, and in the afternoon the bill was
passed. The result was greeted with
hand-clapping on the Democratic side.

WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON died in
New York on Saturday. He was one of
the boldest and most uncompromising
of the early Abolitionists and worked in
its cause with great zeal and vigor. The
first Abolition paper published in this
country was published in st. Clairsville
and afterwards removed to Baltimore in
1929, just fifty years ago, and edited by
Mr.. Garrison and Mr.. Lundy. Some of
Garrison's attacks on slavery and the
slave market were so severe that he
was indicted and convicted of "grosS,
malicious libel" and sentenced to fine
and costs Being unable to pay the
costs he was imprisoned forty-nine days,
until a merchant in New York paid his
fine and procured his release. He next
attempted to found an anti-slavery jour
nal in Washington, but was unsuecess-
full. The Liberator, which he finally
succeeded in establishing in Boston had
a weakly infancy. His labors have long
been over and he is willing to die. Few
men have lived to see life purpose
more fully realized than he. ..4.. ~.
