The Ohio Campaign.

The Ohio Democrats held their State Conyen-
ton last week and nominated Judge IIodley as
their candidate for Governor This result was
generally anticipated, although Judge IIodcy
was vigorously opposed in the convention. the
proceedings closing with free fight which call
cd for the interference of the police. EX-Scna-
tor Thurman presented the name Of Gen. Dur
bin Ward, the Cincinnati Enquirei's candidate
and he was only % votes behind lIodlcy Oh
the first ballot. The preponderancc of opinion
among Democrats outside of Ohio is that Ward
would have been the stronger candidate, while
Republicans there and elsewhere express them
selves well satisfied with the result. The Con-
vcnlion continued in session until late hour
at night but the chairman was ''almosi help
less in his efforts to accomplish anything in the
way Of business" A New York Herald dcs-
patch says Of the evening session:
The scenes are the most disgraceful Of any
which have ever characterized II convention in
ONO large number Of delegates are in a
drunken condition from the long continuation
of the session since ten O'Clock this morning,
and all are on their feet yelling at the same
time. Judge Thurman left the Convention
early IN disgust, and expressed belief to friends
that the ticket could not be elected and did not
deserve support at the hands Of the people. "a
party he said, " that was ungratcful as the
Democrats have shown themselves to-day did
no' deserve the name Of party" General
Ward j. being cOnsolcd by friends and has no
enthusiasm 10 waste on the ticket. though he
says hr has become familiar with il and can
work n well IN the face Of defeat ~ any other
way. Corruption j. being freely charged on all
sides, and a number Of the leaders who have
been seen say That no party can succeed under
such tactics. There j. no doubling the fact that
the bad feeling which has been cngcndcrcd to-
day will last over the campaign and show in
the final results. The Republicans seem quite
well pleased with the work Of the day.
The platform adopted charges the Republican
party with favoring class interests ana with
general corruption declare. for "a tariff for
revenue, limited to the necessities OF the GOV

luSted in it, application as TO prevent unequal
burdens, encourage productive interests at

The man alluded to above, had grown
up on the farm. He was somebody's
son, and no doubt, in his boyhood days
he often had sort of a yearning to leave
the old farm and 60 away to tho city,
and put on boiled shirt and smoke CT
CARS, and amass fortune. But he stuck
to the old farm, and when he was final
ly obliged to leave it, the thought was
too much and he took his own life rath-
err than go. No doubt when he thought
of leaving the old place, the scenes Of
his boyhood' shappiest hours would arise
up before him, and he could see, in
looking back DER lifetime spent on
the old farm, the same narrow winding
lane through which he trudged, when
boy, over the grass and stubble covered
with the heavy dew and frost of early
morning, and the thought of how he
placed his bare foot down on the early
humble bee which nestled among the
clover blossoms and sang its morning
song, came back to him with the old
time vigor. The thought of leaving the
dear old home, around whose cheerful
fireplace he had spent many happy
evening and then went to bed of feath-
pumpkin and catnip, and seed corn and
cob-webs, and dried apples, was more
than the poor man could stand. The
many happy scenes of his boyhood days
and the recollections of comfort and
plenty, on the old place, would admit of
no thoughts on the drawbacks that had
sometimes crept in and made him think
that life was not worth living for, any,
way. The cares and troubles of farm
life were drowned deep in the tide of
pleasant thoughts and he never stopped
to think. as he shed tears atparting with
the dear old farm, of how he had got up
at four o'clock in the morning and gone
down to wash ut the pump in the yard.
when the weather was so cold the soft
soap in the jar by the side of the house
was frozen solid, and the milk he had
warmed for the calf, and bran-mash for
the COWS had to be broken with fork
handle before the cattle could eat it. He
only stopped to think Of the spring time,
gentle Hannah, when the cows came
home at night, the taxes were paid, the
crops nearly in, and everything lovely,
and it is not to be wondered at that the
poor man felt sad at leaving tho old
home. There is no use talking about
keeping boys on the farm when they get
the roaming fever, but after man has
been there lifetime he would exchange
places with king, and wear crown,
and sufferwith the govt and the dyspep-
sia There are thousands who know
just how that poor man must have felt,
and will pity him, as they know that it is
often betterto own three hundred acre

Senator Pennington is on the ram
page again. He proposes to destroy
that bulwark of personal liberty, de-
scended to US from the Magma Charta,
the right of trial by jury, by provid-
ing that ten Of the twelve jurors or
fov Of the six may render verdict.
Such a policy would be destruction
Of every personal safeguard in the
Courts and 60 = long ways toward
establishing an individual despotism
equal to that from which the people
Of England rebelled under King
John, the result Of which was the
present system Of trial by jury, which
has proved in all places the protec-
ton Of the innocent from personal
vindictiveness. 1t must not be
changed.
