Although there are not more than half
dozen Ohio delegates in this city, II the
opposition they exhibit against John g..
Thompson is any criterion, the days oil
use eiulness Of that politician in the Demo-
cratic party are at an end. John holds
something less than thousand positions
at present. He is a member Of the Ma.
tional Committse. Heis sergeantatarms
OF the House OF Representatives. He is a
member OF the National Congressional
Committee. He ia Chairman OF the Gen.
tral Committee OF Ohio, member Of the
State Executive Committee, and dele
gate TO the National Convention. He
wants to be kept in his place as member
OF the National Committee, but his ambi-
ton will hardly be gratifed. There are
several candidates spoken Of for his posi-
tion. prominent among whom are Gener-
al James B. Steedmsn, Of Toledo. and
Hon. w. D. Hill, OF Defiance. Among
those who are known to be against John
are the four Cincinnati delegates, General
Steedman, Hon. W. D.. Hill, Hon. James
E. Neal, Hon. W. H. Dugdale, OF Spring

AN OHIO OPINION.

Yesterday reporter ran across Colonel
George Dodge at the Gibson.
"Here for Payne, Mr.. Dodge2"
Eyes, l am Payne man, but l am afraid
he stands but little show"
"Why?"
swell, 1 think 1t would be folly to NOM
mate an Ohio Democrat. We can elect
Democratic President without Ohio. II
we nominate an Ohio mau we risk too
much on single State with an Ohio man;
II we lose Ohio, we might lose all. We
must carry the East or several States in
the East. II Seymour will permit the use
of his name, do not think anything can
prevent his nomination, and II we Can
carry Ohio against Garfield, we can carry
1t with strong man outside OF Ohio as
easy as with an Ohio man."

TILDRS A CANDIDATE.
Hon. Fred. o. Prince, Secretary of the
National Committee, arrived last night on
the Pan Handle. He is at the Grand, and
upon his arrival he was surrounded by in
reviewers. In reply to many questions
he said:
II was OF the opinion several days since
that Mr.. Tilden would not be candidate,
but he has been recently surrounded by
ill.advised friends, who have persuaded
him that he Is one OF the great men OF
America, and that he ought to be can.
didate, and he has yielded to their seduc-
tive arguments, aud will BE- a candidate, but
he cannot count on over 1893 votes In the
Convention on the first ballot, and the
two-thirds-rule will lead to his defeat"
Mr.. Prince does not think that Mr.. sey-
mour can receive the nomination, because
the Tilden faction will fight him.

Value Of Swamp Muck.

Some time ago We remarked that
an acre Of swamp muck Of good quail.
ity, three feet deep. was actually
worth $4,000. No doubt such q
statement s surprising. So was the
statement Of DR.. Lawes, of England,
that ion Of bran fed 10 cows, return
ed more than it cost in manure,
Swamp muck, free FROM sand, con-
tains 2 per cent, or forty pounds Of
nitrogen in n ton. Nitrogen is worth
in the market twenty-five cents per
pound SO that ton Of swamp muck
is actually worth $40 for the nitrogen
i'll it. All that is needed is to work
up the muck, SO as TO make the nitro
gen availablN. An acre of swamp
muck three feet deep cont ins 2,5OO
tons, and would require eight months
TO draw cut, at ten loads q day. Few
persons realize the value of the fer.
tilizing elements of common waste

and the innunerable tons of pattes
that may be available Tor sertiliaing
purposes, and that much Of the idle
