would probably be willing to compromise
for one half that amount, and not try
the suits, if Deacon Smith would consent
to draw his check.
Tom Ewing and Senator Thurman are
both described as "sad-eyed men" since
their, return to Congress. That killing
frost that nipped all their political hopes
and prospects for the future in the bud,
which fell in Ohio in October, was
enough to make them both feel de-
spOndent.
[Chicago Times.l
Mr.. Thurman perpetrated ghastly
joke, yesterday, in the Senate chamber,
by intimating that somebody had been
decorating the eoffins. There were bou-
auets on the desks of several statesmen
OF Bourbonic tendencies, his own among
the rest. who have been sentenced to re-
tirement by the action of the people of
their respective States.

When Cincinnati finishes her Southern
Railroad to Chattanooga the merchants
and business men of the South are to be
invited to cross the Ohio and Join with
the smoky city in celebrating the event.
The Southern merchants who are anxious
to meet Deacon Richard Smith and all
the able patriots who are in the habit of
denouncing them as cut.throats, repudia-
tors, swindlers and barbarians are pack
ing their carpet-bags and getting ready
to have a nice time.

The overwhelming preponderance of
ohio men at Cincinnati is the principal
objection that Messrs. Blaine and Conk-
ling have to holding the nominating con-
vention there.

There is said to be strong sentiment
IN Washington in favor of Governor Fos-
ter for the Craftsmanship of the Republi-
can National Committee, that the party
may utilize his fine talent as an organizer
and his iberality in subscribing to cam
paign funds. And then, too, there is
the splendid prestige of being an Ohio
man. r..,
Among the many events Of thrilling
import to occur in the year 1880 is the
tour of the Cincinnati Star Base Ball
Club, the contract having been signed by
ali of the nine except Charles Carpenter,
who is now in Cuba, presumably clearing
the way for General Grant, and there is
profound conviction that Jim White
also will condescend to an engagement.
1t is painful to contemplate the possibil-
ity of Jim refusing.

When John Hay moved into Ohio he
knew Just what he was about. 1t is
absolutely impossible to keep an Ohio
man out of Office great while at It
time.

General Tom Young, of Ohio, upon
the very opening day of Congress, laid
off his "store clothes" and rubbed on
enough war paint to last him through
whole winters fight.
New York Trbunel
II Thurman is permitted to have his
3ay he will lead his party into another
brilliant blunder He is rejoicing over
the attitude of the President and Secre-
tary Sherman on the retirement of the
legaltenders and the coinage of silver,
and declares that they have conferred
favor on the Democrats by giving them
an issue upon which they can unite.
There can be no surer way to make New
York Republican State next year than
to have the Democratic party take its
stand against the National banks and in
favor of irredeemable Government paper
and unlimited silver coinage.

Since that unholy alliance among the
brewers in Cincinnati to advance the
price of beer, almost any outrageous story
will be believed. It is said that there is
airing in the School Board of that city
who takes high moral grounds, and pro-
pose to reduce the teachers wages who
do not pay their debts The milk in the
cocoanut is found to be in the fact that
these high-toned Trustees buy up claims
against teachers at discount. ,
The objection which lies against Gin
cirinati as the place for holding the next
Republican National Convention is on
account of the local influence being
brought to bear in favor of some Ohio
man. The whole city would turn out
and surround the tent, and "whoop 'em
up" for their favorite candidate. Moth
ing of the sort is ever done in Chicago,
and every fellow is allowed fair shake.

Mr.. Halstead, of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, and Mr.. Richard Smith, of the
Cincinnati Gazette, are in Washington
endeavoring. to galyanize the Sherman
movement into semblanceof life They
90 not seem to have profted by their ex-
periences of 1876, when they almost par
alyzed their arms in endeavoring to make
President out of Mr.. Bristow.

Cane growers of the Mississippi Valley
ate in session at Cincinnati. The culti-
vation Of gold-beaded canes and the ebony
and hickory varieties should receive at
tention from these gentlemen, the Missis-
sippi Valley being noted for chiyalric
canings, and the introduction of superior
kinds from abroad being Of importance
to the country. i 4,4
