EX-GOVERNOR WILLIAM DENNIsoN
of Ohio, died last Wednesday at his
home in Columbus. The last eight
months he was Governor of Ohio were
the first months of the war of the rebel
lion and with patriotism unsurpassed
he did his work with efficiency and integ-
rity, and in the midst of difficulties
which now seem incredible. He was al
ways in favor of vigorous war meas
ures, and when he retired, Ohio had
sent out $4,000 three year soldiers and
22.OOO three months soldiers. To Gov
Dennison is due in great measure the
proud position Ohio took and main
ttined in the war, and to him the peo-
pie owe debt of gratitude. He was
faithful member of the Republican par
ty, having been member of it from Its
first convention, and was at all times
one of its leading advocates. He was
born Nov. 20, 1915, and was therefore in
his 67th year. His death only leaves
seven ex-Governors of Ohio. four OF
whom only were elected as Governors
Cox, Hayes, Noyes, and Bishop. The
other three are of Lieut.. Governor
T. w. Bentley, elected with Gov. Shan
nan, advanced to Governor when Shan
non was appointed Minister to Mexico
Chas. Anderson. who succeeded to the
Governorship on the death of join
Brough, and Thomas L. Young, wht
became Governor when Gov. Hayes wa:
elected President.

In congressional convention the
county is the unit, and always has been
in this district. Each county has the
right to say how its delegation shall be
chosen.-GHernsey Times.
If the county is the unit, why did Mr..
Taylor appoint one from each township
of your county upon his delegation Why
did he not, instead, fill the delegation
from among the lawyers and statesmen
of Cambridge? They understand better
the workings of conventions than some
of the brethren appointed from the rural
townships.
1t won do, David. You are tread
ing on dangerous ground when you un-
dertake to to defend the right of Repub-
licans of Cambridge township, for in
stance. to determine who shall represent
some other township, in Convention.
Such an attempt in this county would
burst the party to flinders, and it is not
safe to presume too much even in Guern-
sey.
Each county has not the right to say
how its delegation shall be chosen.
When a county committee takes from
the Republicans of township, contra
ry to the customary rule in the county.
the privilege of determining who shall
represent them in congressional con-
vention, it has exceeded its powers and
usurped authority. This the cOnven-
tien of to-day should declare in the most
emphatic terms, SO that in the future no
such complications as are now immi-
nent will occur. ,a

THE Guernsey Times can not throw
dust in peoples eyes and blind them to
the iniquity being attempted in that
county by talking about county tickets
being nominated on what it pleases to
call "the popular vote plan" The NOM
ination of county ticket is in no way
analogous to the case in hand. In the
present instance FIVE counties are inter-
ested. In all of them except Guernsey
the Republicans of each township were
permitted to choose one or more dele
gates to represent them in convention.
Had the Guernsey "plan" been adopted
by the other counties Updegraf would
have 80 votes in Jefferson and Al in
Belmont, or four more than necessary
to nominate, and Mr.. HOllingsworth
would have "a in Harrison, instead of
2l. Mr.. Taylor's friends, on the contra
~, met in little Office in Cambridge
one fine day and resolved on plan" to
send an iron-clad delegation from that
county. and that being fixed he and his
lieutenants at once set out for Belmont
and the other counties, to cajole and
coax enough other votes to secure him
the nomination. He could go into the
city of SteubenviIle. for instance, and
make fight on Updegraff, but Mr.. Up

FLUSHING.

The children of Mrs. Lydia Cameron
assembled at the residence of her SON.
in-law Isaac Walker, on the 7th, and
celebrated her seyenty-sixth birthday.
After partaking of a bountiful repast
previously prepared for the occasion,
Mrs. Cameron was invited into the
parlor and made the recipient of many
presents from her children and grand
children, all of which she received with
grateful heart, not for their value alone
but for the spirit of love and respect
with which they were bestowed upon
her. Grandma Cameron was left a
widow with six small children, about
fOrty-two years ago. At that time her
path seemed strewn with thorns, with
here and there a rose to brighten her
journey, but she struggled bravely on.
If adversely tried her she faltered not,
If fortune smiled she was thankful and
continued to discharge her various du-
ties until her children had reached
manhood and womanhood, when her
struggles ceased. Her five daughters
and one son are in high standing in So
ciety, and Mrs. C. is reaping the reward
of her labOrs. There were present on
ShO oSOooiOh FESTIVITIES,
her five daughtefs and their husbands,
namely, |. j. Walker and wife. ID. w.
Huff and wife of this place, and Rev.
Peregoy and wife of Norwich, and Jas.
Sharp and wife of New Athens, besides
twenty-one grandchildren and one great
grandchild. 1t was a delightful day for
grandma Cameron, and our wish is
that she may live for many years and
enjoy many such scenes.
Some one entered the Granite Mill
here a few days ago, and breaking the
safe open secured twelve dollars. As vet
there is no clue to the robbers.
Children's day was observed at the NJ.
e. church. Evergreens, flowers and
birds gave the church new beauty and
new charm for the little folks. The
services were appropriate and all SEEM
ed well pleased with the proceedings.

THE "bosses" in Guernsey county take
the position that, should majority OF
the Republicans of township of Guern-
sey county favor the nomination of an
other individual than Mr.. Taylor for
Congress, and even though the vote of
that township should nominate that
other individual, the Republicans of the
balance of the county have the right to
determine that that townships vote
shall not be recorded for him in conven-
ton, but must be cast for some one
whom the township does not want.

THE Guernsey Times makes labored
attempts to defend and justify the SELF
ure of the Guernsey county delegation
by the editors brother. 1t objects stout
ly to the term "unit rule" and attempts
to show that the unit rule as declared
by the Chicago convention was "a very
different thing" from that OF Guernsey
county. From the Times standpoint it
is, but the trouble is the Times facts
are not facts. The call for the Chicago
convention provided that each congress
ional district should be entitled to two
delegates, to be elected by the Republl :
cans of the district. Some state con-
yentions undertook to instruct the dele
cations from those states to vote as
unit, and an attempt was made in the
National convention to uphold such in
5tructions, but the convention very
properly directed that each delegate
should be allowed to vote his own and
the sentiments of his district. The call
for the convention of to-day authorizes
the Republican committees of the sew
eral counties "to provide for the dppor
io,lD,e,lt Of the. e.delgates to which thelI
respective counties are entitled" Where
in does this differ materially from the
Chicago case, unless it be more flag
rant usurpation and overriding of the
minority?
The Times insists on printing the
word appointment" instead of "appor'
tionmeHt," and it is right there the fraud
begun, and right there all the trouble
that may grow out of this hagrant at
tempt to trample upon and override the
rights of some of the townships OF
Guernsey originated. Mr.. Taylor's
friends alone are responsible for it. The
language of the call for the convention
was "doctored" by one Of his Guernsey
county friends, the Secretary Of the
congressional committee, and his home
organ has steadily misprinted it. The
editor of THE CHRONICLE, knowing that
the committee contemplated that the
delegates from each county should be
apportioned among the several town
ships as we'll as could be, withheld pub
lication of the call until after he had
communicated with the chairman of the
committee, Mr.. John C. Brown, of Steu
benville. Mr.. Brown promptly stated
that the word "apportionment" was the
one contemplated by the committee, and
he is sustained by every member of the
committee present, except Mr.. McEwan.
of Guernsey.
This is the fraud that is attempted tC
be perpetrated upon the convention OF
to-day, and upon the Republicans of the
district. 1t is bold and barefaced, and
whatever the convention may do with
the delegates appointed, not by the Re
publicans of Guernsey county. nor by
its central committee, but by Mr.. Tay-
lor, candidate, it can not afford to in any
manner justify or excuse this brazer
fraud and palpabls usurpatiOn; and
even though it should admit to seats the
delegates appointed by Mr.. Taylor, il
should in the most emphatic manner
express its disapproval of the fraud at
tempted, and of the Cameron-C Conkline
mode of packing conventions, now at
tempted for the first time in its history
