journal is the original Third.Term organ
one a, the most influential OF The papers
tia, have supported GRANT through thicS
and thin and IL has already demanded the
defeat OF FOSTER at the hands oil the slai'
warts OF Ohio. What that journal says lh'
dicatcs Just what many Conkiing'e III
Ohio feels. There is dissatisfaction witnin
the Republican party. There are disgrun'
tied office-seekers and disappointed Thiro-
Termers who will be very willing to allow
the Democrats to succeed this year even II
they do not give them helping hama.
There is, too, 20, little feeling on the part
Of tbe friends OF some Of the asplrants 10
the Lieutenant Goyernorshir, VINO thinh
tina. their fayoriles were ruthlessly slauSo-
tered In the Convention Of last week.
II would, therefore, be no occasion Oh
surprise II the Democrats OF OHIO were TO
el,c, their candidate for Governor next oc-
tober. They have habit OF carrying tue
State when TO carry 1t does them no good,
and u losing II when 10 lose II is TO lose the
control OF The Government OF the ohteo
states. We do not pretend, however, 10 say
fba, victory this year would be one Of that
sort. MIR. THURMAN ought to have run Tor
Governor in that State two years ago. Inat
he yould have been elected there can be Out
little reason 10 doubt. Ard that election
wsn,1 have made him President OF the
limited States. Hs name is again meh-
toned in connection with the ounce.
II be would agree TO run he wouio
almost certainly be elected. But we
guess that he will hardly consent at his
time Of life TO run for that office, though be
would of course accept a seat In the United
States Senate. Mr.. THURMAN out OF The
way, some other Democrat may be nomi'
pa,ec who, though not so strong as be Is,
NAV .nn with good prospect OF success.
There is no reason for the Democrats oil Inc
Buckeye State TO despair. Let them noml-
nate sound Democrat. and point, the way
10 victory in 1884 by electing him trl'
umphaatly over Governor FOSTER.
