Weaver, which is tho best thing lhat
has happened for Weaver since he
went into politics,
The Republicans have been caught
In forging three different letters with
n view of ipluring Hancock. This Is
the adecent campaign" they asked
for.
Mn. IATnRor, the Butler State
Committeeman In Massachusetts,,
who resigned hi, position and wrote
n letter about tho Cincinnati Conven-
ton, declares his purpose to vote for
General Hancock.
IP GABrfLLn i anything ho is
witty; he has gone into the conun-
drum business. lie says, Why Is the
charge that took Credit Mobilicr
stock like DR.. Tanners stomach?
Give it up? Why, because there's
nothing in it..
WE WERE very mitch surprised a
fcw days ago to SEQ In the dispatches
In the OrcJoniai a paragraph that
Senator David Davis had come out
strongly in favor of Ifanccek That
paper - so fearlessIy independent In
politics that Il very rarely publishes
anything favorable 10 Hancock.
Dn. TAxNgg Il now famous man.
He has completed his fast OF forty
days, and Is now filling up again. A
great many think his fasting was
hoax, but several persons watched
him closely and report that he did
not partakc Of any food during the
whole time. Ills feat will have a had
effect on boarding houses.
Cox. TnAYEE las refused 10 com
mute the sentence passed upon Harry
Wintzingerodc for killing old man
Swanger, and his action VIII be ap-
preciaicd by all law-ablding citizens.
Murders are becoming altogether too
frequent in this State, and when
murder Is duly convicted by our
courts he should be executed.
The white bIackbird has been
found--this Il the Democrat who has
come out Tor Garfield. His name Is
Philo 4. Orion, OF Wisconsin, but
what his disease may be is not stated,
We have heard or Hamilton Fish,
Hon. Horatio King, Col. John For
ney, and even u. IL. Stearns, but
Philo Orton Is new name 10 Us.
Ir Garileld's constituents paid no
attention 10 the charges against him,
and believed he was innocent when
he took tho proceeds OF the Credit
NobAicr stock, how did It happen
that more than eight thousand OF
them cut him at the polls? In 1872
his majority was 1885; in 1874 IT
was 2,52s. Somebody must have
thought there was something wrong.
n General Hancock Is already
defeated, why are the Republicans at
such pains 10 prove that he pocketed
petroleum Company, hanged Mrs.
Surratt OF his responsibility and out
Of pure deviIiry, tried TO remand
Louisiana and Texas TO rebels still in
arms, was no soldier worth speaking
of,and Is now in league with the new
rebellion" These assaults of the en-
emy do not look as though GariiclPs
election is already assured,
Tho Wheeling w. Va. Regisier puts
the case thus: An Ohio man, has
been occupying through fraud and
force, the Executive Choir for the
last four years. An Ohio man is at
the head of the Treasury. An Ohio
man Is at the head OF the army.
And now another Ohio man Is seek
ing the presidency. Is 1t not about
time for Ohio 10 take a back scat?
Either move the Capital into Ohio,
and then lot them run 1t exclusively,
or recognize the existence of thirty
seven other states BY the distribution
OF the offices.
