SENATOR CHANDLER has enriched
the Republican vocabulary with a

The Cincinnati Gazette says: The
Republican Convention, which will
be the largest. most able and most
important ever held 10 the State of
Ohio, will not be in the hands of
ward bummers and crossroads poll
ticians, but in the control of the Re-
publican party. 1T will rise above
eli petty tricks and schemes, and
nominate ticket that will be sweep
ingly elected, and construct plat
form that will ring out not only 10
Ohio. bnt throughout the nation.
This is the latest and most reliable

THE Democrats 10 Congress have
cut sorry figure in their contest with
the Executive. 1t is useless TO
mince words about the matter.
They have blundered, blundered bad
Iy, and have subjected themselves to
merited ridicule. They have placed
themselves 10 the attitude of one
who seeks al issue, but retreats as
soon as be sees that his opponent is
prepared to meet it. The first step
they took was false one, and there
is wisdom iu the French maxim that
it is the 6rst step which counts.
During the last session there was
good reason for attaching the politi-
cal legislation desired to appropriation
bills. The Senate was Republican,
