CotUNBus, ONO, July 20, 1881;
FRIEND Ns,-Since my last the
Capitol stands, as usual, quiet, and with
out any change in business, save the or.
dinary matters that pertain 10 all large
cities, among country and city people.
The Neil House, so long and fsvorabiy
known among the bontons," has passed
away and is now numbered among past
fashionable resorts for political purposes,
where caucuses of manufactured candidates
for Office are made and thrust upon the
honest voters Of the State of Ohio TO sup
port, and who blindly believed. they were
not deceived. They are now tearing down
the Neil House, and abandoning il for
hotel purposes. The American House was
the famous resort for the delegates OF the
Democratic Convention, and more rollick-
ing crew never was gathered in Columbus
B,fore 2 o'clock in the morning many OF
them had their hides full of benrine, and
II canal mule could have heard them on
Rhetoric, and interpreted their language
he would have Topped his ears and brayed
for Joy, that lie had met 30 many of his
companions on so great an occasion. Suf-
fee it to say, large portion of dead beats
will deplete John w. Bvokwalter's money
bag during the campaign, then d--n the
honest voters when the Republican ticket Is
is agnin elected this fall. Democratic del
egates were bought and sold, and were
hung Up in the market like hogs in n
slaughter house, and If you could have
seen the "blue ribbon brigade" of bum
mers from Logan county, and the cred
for Bookwn tier, you would have fully con-
milk and called for n bottle of whisky.
The rosy tinge of their nose would dazzle
in a sur beam, like jewels on the crown of
the Queen.
There are more newspapers and periodi-
calls published in the city of Columbus than
any other city of the same size ever knew
of. The Journal, Times, Dispatch and Ga
sette, are the newspapers. The State Print
ing has been sliced up by the last Demo
cratic Legislature into chunks like cake.
Nrvin & Myers have slice; Brand & Co,
of the Volksblatt Office have n chunk; the
journal has n portion, and the balance has
gone up To Sandusky City, to take Lake
breeze, while those whose important births
and lives have adorned the country will,
their brilliancy and democracy, have gone
home to remain, il is hoped, forever, never
to disgrace the halls nf the Senate an,,
House Of Representatives again by their
pollution.
The dry and hot season so long endured
| in this city, causing so many deaths, has
! been refreshed and invigorate,l by copious
rains, and everyone thanks kind provi
| dence for this blessing.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL, and the
| benevolent and enterprising readers of his
paper, l extend my best wishes for their
welfare. May their future be bright, and
full of happiness, and as they glide down
the stream of Time, may joy gladden. their
pathway, and when in the course OF failing
and fading nature, the hour will arrive for
them to enter that vessel, while the boat.
man pale shall dip his golden oars into the
dark stream, may they anchor on the Other
side of that beautiful river, whose shores
outshine the feeting joys of world 6lle'
with contention and strife, lacking tina
great, good example taught by the pool
Nazarine-Charity.
Ever Your Old Friend,
VIM. THos. MCDOWELL.
