THE STATE TICKET.

We adopt the language and sentiments
OF a cotemporary in saying that The State
Republican Convention OF the 2Sth ult.
deserves the thanks OF the entire party for
placing in nomination one OF the best and
strongest State tickets ever sent to the peo
pie for consideration and support. 1t no
disparagement OF the defeated candidates
to say that out OF the entire list presented
a better general average could not have
been obtained, nor one that would have won
the respect and commanded the support Of
a larger number of voters.
Major Charles Townsend, OF Athens
county, as candidate for Secretary of State,
heads the list lie is an orator and deba-
ter OF rare presence and power, and as the
leader OF the Ohio Republicans will make
most effective and brilliant campaign
He was good soldier whose bravery was
| often tried and proved; and as member
of the present General Assembly he has
shown ability, GOODNESS, good management
and wisdom. He is not only popular in
his section of the State, but his friends can
be found in every county of Ohio, and
they will all lend him an earnest and eff
fective support.
Judge George w. Mcllvaine, Of Tuscnra-
was, needs no introduction TO the people Of
Ohio. His record as Judge Of the Su-
preme Court is the basis upon which his
support must rest, and il is one OF which
no Republican Of the State nj ed be ashamed
of. Judge McIlvaine is an able lawyer,
Just Judge aud a pure man. and would
do honor TO any judicial tribunal in the
Laird.
Mr.. Dwight Crowsll, of Ashtabula coun-
| ty, as was expected, had an easy victory in
securing the nomination for Clerk of the
Supreme Court. He was nominated for
the same position in 1877, and it was his
misfortune rather than his fault that lie was
defeated along with the general wreck that
befel the Stale ticket OF that year. 1t is
only Just that lie should be given another
chance, upon ticket that is certain TO go
through victoriuusly.
Mr.. S. II. IIosmer, OF Muskingum coun-
tv, the candidate for Board Of Public
Works, is well known in this section OF the
State as IA man OF experience, safe Judge
ment, and undoubted honesty-qualities
which are needed in position OF that
character.
Col, d. F. DeWolf is os good a selection
for School Com issIoner as could have
been made, and there is no man in Ohio
who could more ably fulfill the duties OF
that responsible position. He is at present
Professor of Modern Languages and Liter.
ature IN Hudson College, was for twelve
years Superintendent OF Schools in Toledo
and served with distinction during the wal
in the 55th regiment of OHIO Volunteers
fIe is an educated and careful man, and the
State will have the benefit of his mature
experience and thorough knowledge Of all
matters pertaining TO schools aud school
Interests. In all respects the Ticket il
one that we take pleasure in commencing
to the voters Of Ohio.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

WAsHINGToN, d. c., May 1880.
The Committee on Ways and Means are
still tinkering at the tariff, although there
is little or no hope OF any legislation on
the subject this session. 1t appears as
though the Committee was laboring solely
to!appense certain restless spirits among the
great monopolists in the importing trade
who are endeayoring to promote their own
interests. The Democrats on the Commit.
tee, il should be added, are not 10th to graf
ify them, but they will find themselves in
= minority, for even their own party will
not hold together on that question.
The President surprised both parties in
his veto oil the Immediate Deficiency bill,
containing the prohibition of payment TO
United States MAJ shals. The Republicans,
although almost una animously opposed to
it, thought the President might sign il in
| order 10 shorten The session, and prevent q
disgracful session. The veto however,will
have little effect to extend it, for one item
Of il has already been passed in separate
bill, that providing for the Government
printing Office. Other subjects included in
il will lie treated in The same wny, except
the martial clause, and those officers will
be provided for by private means il neces
slry, trusting TO future Congress to
right the wrong.
The political views of the week is inter
esting, One hundred and ten delegates
have been elected TO the Republican Ma
iIonal Convention. Wisconsin divided its
honors between Washburn, Blaine and
Sherman, and Tennessee and Mississippi
between Blaine, Sherman and Grant. In
Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and New
Hampshire, Mr.. Blaine carried of the
honOrs. The contest ia getting so exciting
that pubic business has to await the move
ments OF the Conventions.
Senator Cameron ia much disturbed by
the bolt in the Pennsylvahia Delegation.
Several delegates have been here TO notify
him that they cannot vote as unit for
Grant, but propose TO vote for Senator
Blaine, and he has gone home to see what
can be done in the Way+of compromise.
The President has not yet decided who
shall he Post Master General in the place
OF Mr.. Key. One dificulty il to find sat.
isfactory man who wants the place with
the prospects OF holding it only nine
months.
The Senate yesterday passed bill to re.
lieve MIR. DeFrees from responsibility foI
the loss OF money stolen from the Govern,
ment printing Office a'lillle more than q
year ago. LEO.

Women Gamblers.

lister FOSTER to that country says such a
line OF road Is essential to extend orr trade
with that country, and that President DIAz
is in favor of aiding the project; but that
