FROM CLEVELAND.

Ed. JouRNAL:-C Cleveland is very pretty
place, as all who have ever been here will tss-
tify, but now it is especially so. The fine rains
we have had make everything look fresh and
green and the wardans OF the different parks
throug hou' the city have just finished putting
cut plants aud flowers, which are all in beom
making the parks delightful promenade, and
one that is much used these warm, moonlight
evenings.
There is some talk of Mr.. Gordon. who owns
the large and beautiful park east of the city,
erecting Il number of ho.eis. bathing and boat
houses IN his place, and making fashionable
summer resort Of il. Ii this should be dune, ii
" i'll add one more to Cleveland's many attrac-
tions, and no doubt, prove success financially.
Last week we had the Republican Convention
and for two days the hotels were crowded with
delegates from all over the State. The streets
probably would have been had it not been for
the bad " Gather. The Kennard House was the
scene of the most hustle aud excitement on
Wednesday evening. Among the Sixth dis
trict delegation, qnartered at the Forest City
House, was pleased to see Mr.. e Il. kingshnry,
of ferrysburg. Ed. thought the ticket, with
the proper amount of work. would be elected,
but was little sorry Judge Doyle did not get
the nomination for Supreme Judge. | also met
Mr.. Evers and MIR. Hankey, of Bowling Green,
and Mr.. Frank Culley, OF the Defiance Erpress
Speaking of MIR. Culley. believe there was
an item going the rounds of the press last fall
stating that he was a cousin of President Gar
field. | suppose he will be taking trip to
Europe soon; perhaps only waiting till more
proficient in the language.
The editor OF leading Democratic paper in
the State Is being much talked OF as q oandi-
date for Governor. In regard to his chance
| for the nomination, prominent lawyer oi this
city said. in apswer to question, that 81 he
| thought he stood good chance OF the nomin
| tion, as he had about as few qualifications flr
| the office as any man mentioned for the posi-
| tion, and II would be in accord with Democratic
| policy for the last few years, to nominate him."
There has been considera BILE trouble between
the printers formerly employed on the Herald
| and Leader and the proprietors OF these papers,
which may be briefly summed up as follows,
effects of the strike being materially the same
| on both papers The compositOrs OF the Herald,
| both Union aud nou-V nion. the non-U Union ele'
| ment largely prednminating, met and resolved
| to pI esent petition to MIR. KeGer. asking that
the prices OF composition be raised to 331a and
| 35 cents per thousand ems for day and night
| work respectively which petition was rejected
| by Mr.. Kelfer, upon which about 20 or 80 men
! left the office. leaving soEle or 10 still AT
werk. Mr.. Keffer Immediately raised the rates
| to the required price, thus c0nceding the JUS
| tlce of tho employee demand, but refused to
| take the men back unless they separately sent
| in their applications for work and he intimated
that theirl acceptance would be decided by a
vote amoue the 8 or 10 who had not the STAN
/" remained faithful" This the strikers indig-
nanty refused to do. Since then the composing
room has been gradually filled up until now
they have their full com pem ent OF men. The
] printers are inducing working meu 10 stop tax.
| ing the two papers, and 80 far have succeeded
10 inducing several hundred TO do so:
