Which Are Written Of Some Ohio Men.

The Cincinnati Gazette intimates that
In order to show the national character
of the Republican party, it should take
both the Presidential and the Vice Presi-
dential candidates from Ohio.
Calico Charley was inaugurated yes
terday as Governor of Ohio with grand
military display. Nothing could by any
possibility more completely bring the
eternal fitness of things into ridicule.

Gov Bishop of Ohio is reported to be

Mr.. Warner, the silver-plated maniac
from Ohio, came up smiling in the House
Thursday morning with a bill to stop
paper imitation and provide for "the
necessary increase of the volume of cur
rency by the free coinage of silver and
the issue of gold and silver certificates
and resolution calling on the Secretary
Of the Treasury to report when and under
what conditions the United States Treas
urv became member Of the New York
Clearing House, and whether the settle
ment of balances in standard silver dol
lars is prohibited by the rules Of the
House.

We must protest against the enterprise
Of Ohio body-snatohers. There are
enough Ohio men around without VIC
lating graveyards to get them.

There must have been great grief in
the Ohio Penitentiary when the news ar
rived that Your Uncle Dick had ceased
to be Governor, for not only was hope of
pardon for the few convicts who re-
mained greatly diminished, but SO many
Of their comrades had been released that
they were dreadfully lonesome.
[st Louis Post Dispatch.J
Gov. Bishop, of Ohio, during his two
years term, pardoned two hundred and
iifty-five penitentiary birds, and the ex-
convicts always speak of him now as
"Old Pard."
The newspapers contain remarkable
story about man named Joshua Keever,
residing in East Tennessee, who is firmly
convinced that he is dead, and who re-
fuses to take part in the affairs of life,
though eating three meals day. This
Is almost as remarkable as the hallucina-
ton which disturbs Ex-Governor Bishop,
of Ohio. He actually insists that he is
alive and that he has sure thing on be-
ing the next Democratic candidate for
Vice President.

The Democrats of Ohio have appar-
emily given up the idea of running the
whole Democratic party. This year, in
stead of holding an early convention and
making a platform and trying to force
the whole party to swallow it in advance,
the unterrifed of Ohio have concluded
to wait until the party has expressed
itself in National Convention and then
make opinions to harmonize. This will
save some confusion.

Murat Halstead, editor of the Cincin-
nati Commercial, writes to the Courier
Journal in solemn earnest to say that he
never uses such naughty words as "nig-
ger" and "darky," and shat he never
prayed against the denomination of
Grant We wonder of he ever saws
"durn IT. when he slips on the Ice, or if
be pfays at all. , --,.

Senator Garfield is a liberal, a gener-
GUS statesman. In his speech at Colum-
bus last night, he uttered this tribute to
his predecessor: II should be base if
did not recognize the great man whom
you have elected me to succeed. say
for him that Ohio has had few larger
minded, predetermined men in the rec
ord Of our history than that of Allen G..
Thurman" If Senator Garfield is
always as fair and just in his partisan
ship as he was in this instance, he will
have to proceed with care, or an appre-
ciative people, recognizing his rarity,
will spoil his career by making him
President.

Hadn't Halstead, Schurz & Co. better
yoke up with Solon Chase's "steers" and
move out Of the Republican party?
Let's see! Did we have the mighty
assistance of Statesman HalStead and In
terror Schurz In the campaign of 1872?
Come to think Of it, we believe we did
not.
In bitterness toward General Grant,
the Cincinnati Commercial and Okalona
States are about equally matched. The
intellects which control these two news
papers may not be mighty, but they are
certainly bilious.
