which the Democrats lost the Presidency
in 1877 was frequently and oonspicuously

man is not the man who was defrauded, in
the individual sense. Neither is Jewett.

Convention revealed no symptoms of har-
mony. 1t unclosed onl; evidences OF a

was sufficient opposition to him TO make
his nomination seem impossible. And, at
the same time, Ohio did not give strength

attempt at a showing OF strength for Grant.

The Ohio Republicans are, it seems, eating
each other up.
The Commercial says of the late Demo
cratic Convention: Where men looked for
division, there was nane; if they expected
strife among the factions, they we're disap-
pointed. There was no Tilden party, no
Payne party. no Jewett party-nothing
but the old glorious Democratic party,
shouting the name of Thurman. On
the surface, therefore, everything looks
lovely, and the altitude of the Thur
man goose is immeasurably higher than it
was in 1876 But after all this peri ,rm-
ance of pledging and protesting to stand by
Thurman through thick and thin, there is
an apprehension deep down i'll Ine bosoms
| of the Senator's friends that it is
more theatrical than sincere, and that after
a complimentary vote for the old Roman
there will be break in the Ohio jelega-
ton, and total disregard of the instruc-

quiet undermining of Thurman's tall

ut work, and by the time of the Conven-
ton will have definitely determined their
plans For Governor Bishop there is but
one hope, and that is in the nomination of
an Eastern man for the Presidency. Bay
ard has develooed no great strength, and
Pennss lvania is not likely tosbe unit on
Hancock. The only Eastern candidate
who has any reasonable prospect is Mr..
Tilden, and to his fortunes Bishop must
necessarily attach his own.-The Northern
States have gained a member of Congress

Europe during the four months of this
year.
The Gazette says: Some level-headed
politicians who were at Columbus and
closely observed the current predict that
the ticket at Cincinnati will be Tilden and
Thurman. This. too, in the face OF the
recognized fact that Ohio will be solid fol

be decided to withdraw his name; but there
is general belief that Tilden will be nom.
mated for President and that the nomina'
ton of Thurman for Vice President would
add strength to the ticket and overcome,
in measure the objections on the part oil
the Democrats to Tilden. 1t is also argued
that, under the circumstances, Thurman
would accept the second place. His

owing to the precarious condition of Til

corps have been in the South, one for about
four months, the other for as many weeks.
The writer did not find one Democrat
who did not repel the idea that any Demo

his ovations he found the Democrats speak
