Republican S,nte Convention.

The Republican State Convention com
pleted its labors on Wednesday, with Sem
ator John Sherman as permanent chair
man. The ticket nominated is good one
and should be elected, with the exception
of the head, which we leave with the
electors to deal with as they may deem best.
We have nothing to take back and much
more TO add, il necessary, as to our own
opinion of his unfitness for the position.
There was short contest over the can
didates for Lieut.Governor and Supreme
Judge. The Cincinnati delegation was
unable to make selection from. two or
three candidates from that city for the Sec
ond place on the ticket, and II. ID. Richards
of jefferson county, carried off the honor.
The Northwest, and especially the Toledo
delegation pressed their claims manfully
for Judge Doyle, but the superior numbers
from Hamilton county secured the nomi-
nation of Judge Longworth, of Cincinnati.
The balance of the ticket was renominated
hy acclamation. The platform will be
given next week.

from Richmond, Va, on Monday, says of
the Malone movement in that State:
1t is great mistake to suppose that this
Readjuster party has for its main purpose,
the readjustment OF the State debt. 1t was
called into existence for that purpose, and
perhaps for that purpose alone, but it has
passed beyond that Limitation, and is now
a well organized party, aiming to remove
all unjust class determinations, and de-
claring In its platform for free speech, free
schools. free press, free ballot, and n fair
count. The white men who are in this
movement are among the best in the State,
socially, financially, and intellectually.
They are progressive men, who have been
made to see that the material interest Of
their State and the peace and welfare of its
citizens require the overthrow of Bourbon
rule, and that the legislation OF Virginia
and the habits of its people must be assim-
Hated TO those systems prevailing in the

Toledo or here to secure another Writ to
Fort Meigs OF .he veterans OF 1912. Three
or four persons in Toledo met nt a hotel
and appointed committee of three from
this place to correspond with the veterans,
make all arrangements and foot all bills
without even consulting them on the sub
jcct. Gen. Leslie Coombs, of Kentucky
has been heard fsSm by parties in Toledo,
and he has been confined to his bed and
home for the past ten montlls. AS he is
one of the youngest of the veterans OF that
war. being only 1S years old when lie served
in Fort Meigs, II is presumed that very

alive are too feeble to make the journey to

How Sawfish XIII Whales.

No one whose experience has ever gwen
HIM an opportunity to consider the differ
ence in size between whale and sawfish
would for moment suspect the latter of
eating the former. Yet as honest look
ing Captain as ever thrilled at the prospect
of being interviewed by reporter, init
mated that such, though unsuspected gen.
orally, is fact. The Captain was over
hauled on the Pacific Mail dock, having in
charge the beak of a sawfish, measuring
five feet in length and armed with twenty
teeth on either side. ''Saw 'em2 o. course
they don't saw 'em; they jabs 'em. They
cruise alongside whale and jabs 'em until
they strike their engine rooms or some such
part, and that settles 'em. Eats 'em
Why look here! What else would they kill
'em for?" The Captains argument was of
the salty nature, that is, unanswerable, and
the reporter was content to silently con-
slider the proposition whether the Captains
capacity for yarns or the sawfsh's appetite
was deserving the greatest admiration.
Still listening, the reporter was informed
that the fish to which the beak belonged
measured twenty feet long, and was killed
in tide-marsh near San Bias, Mexico,
where the fish was stranded by an ebb-tide.
