CoLuNBus, Ono, June 23.-The wound.
ed in the Democratic camp in Ohio are
numerous: :aud their groans are distressing.
There is a sound Of wailing in the land, and
the ropes about the cockpit are down.
John G. Thompson mourns, and the fight
ing cocks OF the young Democracy are in
sore trouble. The Times wears a black eye,
and a rose in the lapel Of its coat, while
instructions are daily posted in tue news
room regulating the conduct Of the prints.
From all portions OF the State come cries
OF distress, and the leaders are sore annoy
ed. Hoadly was nominated, and the Times
prepared to mop the Enquirer out Of exist
ence. 1t bought boutonierre and beer
Was ordered for even the devil But ere
the foam on the beer had evaporated, John
G. Thompson, the poet and pride Of the
Times was killed with annoying dispatch,
and there was weeping and wailina. The
rural press, with provoking unanimity, is
printing Wards address to the Con-
yention, and giving the ..ribune OF
the people" many complimentary notices,
while Hoadly's nomination is mentioned
in sort Of P. S. style, that is very sugges-
tive.
UNKNOWN MEN. Fl
That portion OF the Democracy that
can read, and have learned the names OF
those who are on the ticket, are asking for
information, for with the single exception
Of the head OF the ticket, every man on it
Is as unknown as the direct route TO per-
petual motion. Old dyed.in.the-wool,
warranted -to-wash Democrats are mad.
They remember Hoadly and where he
stood back in the seventies, his structures
on the party OF Jefferson, and then they
sneer. Thurman was slapped in the pan,
Durbin that was kicked about like foot
ball and even Geddes, who has been a
Democrat 80 long that he whispers "spoils
Of office" in his sleep and carried a Repub.
lican district last fall, received no more con-
sideration than did common ward bum.
mer from Cincinnati. And after il wes all
over, and Geddes and Ward had been
quietly but efectually knitted, insult was
added to injury by calling these men into
parade their griefs before the men who
had caused them. As result the
Bookwalter crowd, having q bigger
bar and more influence than any other
faction OF the Democracy, Is sulking. The
Enquirer has not been introduced to
Hoadly yet, and Allen 0'Myers is seeking
for an opportunity to scalp him. The
Times and the Ners-Jour,ai are whistling
in the woods, while the Thurmans, father
and son, are whetting their knives for the
fight that Is Just as sure to follow as For.
aker is to be elected. No, it won't quiet
down. You don't suppose for an instant
that Allen G. Thurman will allow Hoadly
to be elected to assist Pendleton to the
Presidential nomination? Not this year.
Why, l have it on the best Of authority
that Allen G., Jr., has openly declared war
on Hoadly, Pendleton ct al, and will vote
and work for Foraker. Now the young
man has good following for his own sake,
and bigger one for that Of his distinguish
ed father. Allen, sr., is not perspiring in
his anxiety TO do work for the party, in
fact il Is openly charged that he will even
scratch the ticket. This is scarcely prob
able, but it shows the feeling that exists.
