Why HoadlY is Sick.

The Ono campaign languishes. Hoad- ly is sick. HOadly IS the Democratic candidate for Governor. He secured the nomination not because of his ex- cellence as a Democrat, for he is recent
 convert and had been Republican all | along till this opportunity of getting an
 office by purchase presented itself and ! he went in and bought the nomination,
 or rather the delegates, very much as a
 butcher buys cattle and hogs. He IS now sick of his purchase because the | terms of it have been so well made known and are so disgusting that they have ruined his prospects and virtually insured his defeat. It costs hIm, If We
 may credit one of his own party papers,
 a round S50,000 for the nomination. Of this amount the varlOus
 ward delegations from Cincinnati
 absorbed the considerable frac-
 tion of S10,925. This is according to
 the Commercial Gazette, a Republican
 paper; and it gives such particulars as
 leave hardly any doubt of the truth of
 it. Eight wards, having 8 total of
 ninety-two delegates in the Convention.
 got this Sl0,925 bonus to throw of the
 stanch old Democrat, General Ward,
 and vote for the recalcitrant Republi-
 can, Holdley. It was ut the rate oi
 Sl20 for each d6iees.s- ct'us1t, Dus tLes' did not all get share and share alike. It appears from the cruel investigation that has sickened Hoadly that mem- Der of the thirteen who represented the Eleventh ward sold the lot for round of $500, pOcketed the coin and left. The other twelve repudlated the transac- tion and insisted on round of Sl l,3OO more, which Hoadly's agent-the | name is something like Stow-pRid l rather than stir up scandal These | thirteen then got the average of | S2OO each. The Eighth ward delegates l were content with Sl00 each. In the 1 Sixteenth ward delegation We are tOld | "there was break" Five of them re- fused the slate" candidates with but | two exceptions These five were dock | ed" Sl0 apiece; and the thirteen repres- | enting the ward got but Sl,2jO; eight of | them, who swallowed the whole "slate," Sl00 each, and the five but S90 each. | The Eighteenth ward fellows were rath- CT poor lot and sold for S75 each. But | the poorest lot of all were the fifteen | from the Twenty-second ward, who were | knocked of at S1jO in a lump, or at the | rate of SjJ each. There was no chance for a man in General Wards moderate financial circumstances to beat these tactics, and Hoadly carried the COnveD- ton by storm-a storm that rain ed dollars. In short, the Con- vention sold the party for coin. 1t was much like the movement in the Republican Convention in 1867. where General Biiwell entered on tho first day with two-thirds of the del agates pledged to nCm nate him for Governor, but when tho votes were ths coin had been dis tribut5d by tk- railway monopoly in favor of it's man-found himself ''left" and the Central Pacific money and promises triumphant. In that cele- brated case the Republicans of the state, finding themselves sold by their conveu- lion, repudiled the sale and elected the Damocrats bsate ticket. We infer from -he tone of tss Ohio press that the Dem lcrats of that State will take the same ,ourse in reference to the briber, Hoad- y, and enough Of them vote for the candidate to elect him by a 3 round majority. HOGdly thinks SO, loo, and that is what has made him sick. San Francisco Chronicle.
