The Washington correspondent of
the New York World says There is
a growing sentiment that the nominee
at Cincinnati should be an eastern
man, aud Senator Bayard's name il
more frequently mentioned than apy
other. 1t is generally believed in
democratic circles that with Bayard
against Garfield there would be no
doubt about the democrats carrying
two or three eastern states, while at
the same time California. Oregon
Nevada and Indiana are uncertain for
Garfield. Ohio democrats say that
after the Credit Mobilier disclosures
Garfield majority in his congressional
district dropped off over nine thou
sand, and the De Golyer business will
be one Of the chief issues he will have
to meet in the approaching campaign.
Non partisan observers all say that
with little care at Cincinnati aud
the nomination of anybody but Tilden
the democrats are certain of success

GARFIELD AND HIS APOLOGIsrs

All kinds OF excuses are made for
the assailable points in General Gar.
fields record. Some journals boldly
deny all charges, and ascribe them to
the inventive genius of political oppo-
nents; others say that General Gar
field should rise and explain, while
some merely say that he was an un-
sophisticated, unsuspecting sort of a
man, and was led into mistakes. The
poorest defense is that he has been
peatedly returned to congress. The
publican party has never yet thrown
useful partisan overheard for such
little peculations as those charged to
Gar6eld's account. Members of the
party may object and protest and re.
fuse to vote, but the masses march up
TO the polls all the same and thereby
declare that they think it all right
The high toned members of the party
do the protesting and the rest the
voting. In his own district, however
it should be remembered that his
vote fell of about nine thousand al
the next election after the Credit
Mobilier exposures. The better and
more thoughtful members of his party
did not, and do not yet, fully endorse
his course in that and other matters
In time, however, he proved so usefu
to his party, that his offenses wer,
condOned, and after his great services
as visiting statesman to New Or
leans, and the part subsequently taker
in cheating and brow beating the
democrats out Of the presidency, he
so rose in the estimation of his party
that he was easily elected senator ovel
Allen G. Thurman, one Of 0hio'i
greatest and best men. All this does
not acquit Gen. Garfield of single
charge, it merely shows thatth repub
lican party sets a higher estimate OF
super-servicable zeal than it does on
craftsmanship and common honesty
As long as Garfield was only a mem
ber Of congress, there was no particu.
lar occasion to go back and investigate
his record. That was done ono,
by a republican congress. II Ohio

State Debts.


Louisville POst.l
The inability of several of the
southern states, notably Virginia and
Tennessee, to pay their debts, gives
vast interest to the question Of the
creditors recourse in such cases.
Sovereign states do not allow them
selves to be sued in their own courts,
aud by the llth articleOf amendments
to the constitution OF the
United States, the jurisdiction
previously vested in the courts
of the United States, in suits
by individuals against a state is ex-
pressly taken away. Must creditor
of a state trust wholly to his debtors
honesty, or is there any tribunal which
can enforce his rights2 A supposed
way out of the difficulty lies through
that clause of the constitution giving
jurisdiction to the supreme court in
suits between different states of the
union. In an article in the North
American Review written by Judge
Curtis and published in 1914, IL was
for the first time suggested that a
state might take an assignment of a
debt due its citizens and bring suit
upon it in its own name in the su d.
rreme court. The state of New York

Health Officer Miles was called
upon last night by reporter to hear
what he had to say regarding the arti
Gle published in Yesterdays issue
about the prevalence of cholera in
Cincinnati. The statement of DR.
Miles was substantially as follows:
II think the Enquirer yesterday
did me injustice. | made no report
Of the existence of cholera based ON
my own opinions, but on the authority
of reputable physicians. 1t is a fact
that diarrheal diseases are very preya-
lent in this city, and a few deaths
from sporadic. not Asiatic, cholera
have been returned to the health
office. | thought proper in my
monthly report to call attention to the
principal causes of death, and make
some suggestions as to the sanitary
condition of the city, advising people
TO be careful of themselves. and eau
tiOning them against the use of green
vegetables and improper food"

MAJOR j. X. McCann, county
court clerk of Davidson county, died
in Nashville yesterday morning, June
10Th, after brief illness. The de-
ceased had rather eventful life, and
was quite famous during the war as
the leader of a band of partisan
rangers. By the federals he was
known as the Guerrilla Chief Dick
McCann." He was born in Peters
burg, Va, and was in his fifty second
year at the time of his death. He
served as a private in the Mexican
war in the First regiment of Tennessee
volunteers, afterwards went to Cali
tornia, but did not remain long, was
an elector on the Douglass ticket, and
was regarded as an able stump
speaker. His career during the war
is well known. He was dashing
leader and a generous foeman. AT the
battle of Cbickamauga he was captured
and sent to Johnson's island and held
until near the close Of the war. Not
withstanding his parole he was twice
Ntried for his life at Knoxville in the
federal court, but both times acquit-
ted. The last time General Grant
telegraphed that McCann had
committed no offence, civil or mill
tary, for which he could be tried.
After having remained in Jail ten
months at Knoxville be was released
After this he lead quiet life, except
that his genial and impetuous nature
always led him to take part in local
politics. At the August election in
1878 he was elected county court
clerk by a very large majority. 1t had
been observed that he was in declin-
ing health for some years, but his last
illness was very brief, and his death a
great shock to his friends. Person
ally he was very popular man, and
his sudden taken off will be regretted
by his friends throughout the state
and as far as he was known.

THE republicans all over the coun-
try have determined to make strenu-
Gus efforts tOVelect as many congress
men as possible. They are tired and
disgusted with the economy of our
honest democratic congress. That
will certainly be the game in our own
district, and all who desert the demo
cratic ranks on any pretext whatever
are simply playing into the hands Of
the republicans whether they mean to
