WE publish the following announce
ment by request. We have not the pleas
ure Of . personal acquaintance with Mr..
Hinman, but have previously heard favor
able mention made Of his abilities and
character.
We, citisens Of Amherst, recommend 10 the
Republicans Of Lorain county E. b. Hinman
~ candidate foz Probate Judge. Mr.. Hin
man has been Q resident of the county for
twenty-five years, and Of Amherst for the past
eight years-during which time, while en-
gagged In the practice of law, he has held the
oface Of Mayor for two terms, and that of
Justice Of the Peace Tor three terms. At the
age Of sixteen he enlisted in the 10th Regi-
msut Ohio Volunteers, and served with the
regiment until It was mustered out. As cit
zen, attorney and officer he has been cous-
teous, obliging, able and honest. and has
honored the positions Of trust he has held in
our town by his capability and strict attention
to his duties. We can not endorse Mr.. Hin
man more strongly than by saying that, hold.
ing elective offices in this town for five terms,
he has always led his ticket by handsome
majority without personal effort
We earnestly recommend his nomination,
not only because he ID good Republican, but
more particularly because his legal acquire
ments. experience, and cautious disposition
especially At him for the position.

The Revised New Testament.

We have been greatly interested in ex-
amining the revised New Testament,
which was received last Saturday night.
The changes in translation and change of
obsolete words for more modern ones ap-
pear, 20 far as we are able to judge,
in the line of Improvement, rendering
the meaning clearer and the expression
more in accordance with the usage Of the
best scholars Of tho present day.
The appendix containing the changes
suggested by the American Committee,
but which were not assented to by the
English Committee, has received our es.
pecial notice, and it seems to rs matter
Of regret that the American edition did
not have them incorporated into the text
The English Committee have shown q
conservatism hardly warranted. Even
the most bigoted and superstitious could
hardly endorse the retention of such er-
rors of language and grammar as
have been allowed to remain. II
il understood, however, that if the sug-
gestions made by the American Commit
tee are indorsed by the churches Of this
country they will be incorporated into
the body Of the work in future editic.
The judgment Of the Christian worlS, ws
think. cannot fail to be favorab) e to thu
New Revision, and, except in the partic
ulars mentioned, but few O. .auRes in tn,

II now appears that the specious ulea
put In BY the retiring Senators Of New
York that General Merritt ought not to
be removed In the middle Of q term to
make way for man without training for
the place, was insincere and . mere pre-
tenoe, Conkling having before this en-.
deavored to secure from the President
the appointment In this place Of John F.
6myth. Of Albany. General Merritt Was
already booked for q foreign appoint
ment which would be considered In the
line Of promotion, land. we doubt not,
with his approval. Thus the most serious
objection urged il found to be fiction.
The tone Of public sentiment ON the ques.
tion seems to be with the President, and
the fear Of Q rupture in the Republican
party has all passed away. The almost
universal feeling Il one Of pleasure that
Conkling II out Of the Senate and . hope
that he may be kept out in the future.
he has but three newspapers-two in
New York and one in Washington-to
champion his cause. Even his own per-
sonal and political friends, almost with.
out an exception, unite in pronouncing
his course . mistake. Experience, Mr..
Conkling may ind, teaches dear school.
