Judge Hoadly's Candidacy.

The Ohio Democrats have made a
characteristic nomination for Governor.
They have selected from among the
aspirants for the position the man who
possessed at once the least Democracy
and the most money. Judge Hoadly
has been an Indifferent sort of Democrat
for only six years, but he is reported by
Democrats to enjoy an income of $780,
600 a year and to have also an exclusive
tap upon Mr. Tilden's famous barrel. 1t
was charged by Democrats during the
session of the Convention that the sup
port of a majority of the Hamilton
County delegation had cost the Judge
$40, 600, and that he was willing to pay
$50, 900 for the nomination. 1t was
also charged that his friends had car
ried primaries for him by practices
which were at least sharp, and had Sc
cured delegates by resorting to methods
which were calculated to suppress the
popular will rather than to give it ex-
preston. None of these charges may
be true; but they were made by Demo
Gratis, and the Inference is that they
knew what they were talking about.
The intimation was persistently dissent
mated among the delegates that if the
Judge were nominated there would be
plenty of money during the campaign,
and that is the kind of inducement
which mo- Democratic convention has
ever been able to resist
Left to exercise their free will, 1t is
not improbable that the delegates
would not have nominated the Judge.
The old warehouses" of the party and
the leading Democratic newspapers of
the State were against him. Senator

ton, saying openly that he was in favor
of General Durbin Ward because he was
the strongest man and because he knew
he could be relied on when wanted.
The bearing of this observation was
clear enough. The Senator wished il
to be understood that he did not believe
Judge Hoadly to be either strong OF
Trustworthy The methods used to Sc
cure his nomination were not such as to
increase faith in him or add to his
strength in his party. His supporters
feared to trust his chances to an un,
trammeled vote of the delegates, aye
insisted upon an enforcement of fle
unit rule. The first ballot was tai Yer
under that rule, and although the
chairman subsequently decided against
it, many delegates were afraid to vio-
late their instructions and voted finally
against their individual preferences.
He was really nominated, therefore,
under "Gag law" and that fact of it
self is certain to dampen party en-.
thusiasm for him. Then the Conven.
ton itself was little less than riot
from beginning to end. All accounts
agree that the delegates manifested
their attitude in favor of free liquor in
ways much more emphatic than the
platform declaration, and that the dis.

THE MILKING HOUR.

You good old Boss, stand quietly now,
And don't be turning your head this way
You're looking for Donald, it's plain to see,
But he won't be here to-day.
Nobody came with me, dear old Boss,
Not even to carry my pail for, you see,
Donald's gone whistling down the lane,
And Donald is vexed with me.
And all because of trifing thing;
He asked me question, and I said may. -

He had not learned in vain
And there needn't have stretched between
us two,
On this fair evening, the meadow wide,
And I needn't have MIXED alone tonight,
With nobody at my side
What was it he said to me yester eve.
Something about-about my eyes?
It's strange how clever that Donald can be;
That is, whenever he tries.

That I've cried little while milking you;
For, don't You sec? it is nothing to me
What Donald may choose to do.
If he chose to go whistling down the lane,
chose to sing gayly coming here
But it's lonely without him, after all;
Now isn't it, Bossy dear?
I-hark who's that? Oh, Donald it's You
Did you speak?-excuse me-what did you
say?
'AIay you carry my pail?" Well, yes; at
least,
suppose, if you try, you may.
But, Donald, if I had answered No,
Do you think it would have occurred to
you
Not to be vexed at woman's way,
But to try what coaxing would do?

CAPTURED BY INDIANS.
THE EARLY INDIAN WARS.

Stories of marvellous and ingenious
escapes were the romance of the colonies,
and such adventures date back to the
earliest Indian war in Virginia, where a
man and his wife, who had been spared
in the wholesale slaughter, found their
opportunity while the Indians we're
dancing for Joy over the acquisition of a
white mans boat that had drfted ashore.
These captives got into a canoe, and
soon afterward surprised their friends
into the settlements, who had believed
them to be dead. Very like this was
the escape of Anthony Bracket and his
wife in Maine. They were left to fol-
low on after their captors, who were
eager to reach a plundering party in
time to share in the spoil. Brackets
wife found q broken bark canoe, which
she mended with a needle and thread:
the whole family then put to sea in this
rickety craft, and at length reached |
Black Point, where they got on board a |
vessel. A little lad of eleven years named |
Eames, taken in Philips war, made his
way thirty miles or more to the settle
ments. Two sons of the famous Hannah
Bradley effected an ingenious escape
lying all the first day in a hollow LOG
and using their provisions to make
friends with the dogs that had tracked
them. They iourneyed in extreme peril

them fell down with exhaustion Just as /
