Political Notes.

The democratic editors OF OHIO assembled at Co.
lumbus yesterday, and the telegraph announces
that sit was decided to push an aggressive
campaign from the date OF the state conven-

did steal that pavement from DeGolyer, and
the fact Will also probably be made to appear
That he has kept his mother fncarcerated in the
Northern Ohio lunatic asylum for several years
past. The Ohio democratic editor Is very effec-
tive once he gets fairly reused.
Senator Cameron, who arrived here on his
way north last evening, has not been nearly 50
Ill as was reported. The publisher of the Phila-
springs a couple OF days ago, says Senator
c. himself told him that his health was never
better than it was at that time.

Hutchinson Commandery, No. 80, OF Norris
town, Pa. Weaver and Dow are still to be

Comptroller Lawrence has no doubt about

Ohio district.
The Shreveport Times publishes an extract
from private letter from Colonel George VII
hanson, now In Austin. Texas declining the
republican nomination for Congress in the 4th
Louisiana district, and declaring his intention
to support Hancock.
The Philadelphia Record thinks it will detract
nothing from the heat of the campaign that
both parties have gone to Connecticut to get
chairman for their national committee. II is a
very good rule to set Yankee to catch Yam

ANOTHER YOUTHFUL COUrLE RUNNING AWAY.

youthful couple slipped away from their parents
in the capital, and went TO Montreal to have the
knot tied. They are French Canadians, named
Frederick Lapointe and Miss Annie Moreau, both

spoke likewise about her. Their friends were
telegraphed for
