The Enquirer: The news from Wash

County Conventions justify the suspicion
that Tilden has not hit on the right Ohio
man.-Owing to the fact that few Demo-

or three of the public institutions Cover.
nor Foster has encountered the serious dis
pleasure OF large number of Republicans,
who want the places. Foster should take
warning from the fate of his old confeder-
ate, President Hayes, who made trial OF
the liberal plan, without scoring a
marked success, in the eyes of his party.
The National Republican Convention
of 1876. which met in this city, adopted
resolution exceedingly complimentary to
General Grant, whose second term of the
Presidency had nearly expired, and whose
public record, therefore, was nearly as
complete as it is to-day. Certainly his
fame and name have not fallen in the
worlds estimation since that time. Will
the Ohio Republican Convention this year
substantially readopt this resolution? The
Convention should not fail to inform the
public as to whether or not John Sherman
was the author of the Resumption Act, as
that it is question disputed by the con
temporaneouS historians. 1t will not fail,
We dare say. to defend the attitude of the
Republicans in Congress, and of the Presi-

wise the Convention, by all means, to Wig
orously wave the bluody shirty. That is
its only hope. ...t-

made every effort to bring about better
understanding, and offered the most lib

the North and South, who was it that de-
liberately rejected his pollcy?-With Sat-
urday's results there are ATT for Sherman
and 173 for Blaine. Ashtabula failed to
instruct, but will probably cast her first
ballot for Sherman.-It is thought the Re-

The Volksfreund says: Sherman gained
The victory in Cincinnati. That is no sign
though that he will be elected. Senator
Thurman paid visit to Columbus Satur-
day. He was heartily received by his
friends and made short speech, in which
he appropriately scourged the desire of the
Republican party for a so-called strong
Government.
The Volksblatt says The Augs and the
Hollands are our local Capulets and Mon

The Freie Press saws: Is County Com

interest of the cause and the party, for
which he has done so many valuable
deeds, no more to him nor Ligher than his
personal views and predilections2
