the majority and a fraternaI coalition
you'd bring about happy results.-OhiO
The local politicians are a good deal
scared. Old COlumbiana county Is not
a strong hold of Radicalism any more.
The chances are at least fair for our
whole county ticket to be elected. If we
pool our issues, the game is ours. Let
US just lay our heads together, and cap
ture the whole business, horse, foot and
dragOOns.-OhiOP Patriot.

Correct. The way for the Democrats to
defeat themselves this fall is by over
confidence. Everything Is prOpitiOus

SO it seems that Judge Gresham not
only has got the control of the Washing
ton Post Office, but has also named in
Judge Woods his successor in Indiana,
against the wishes of Senator Harrison.
This looks as though the favOTite Re-
publican son of Indiana will have to
marshal his forces In the next Presiden-
tial Convention without the sympathy
of the Administration. Perhaps by the
meeting of the Convention Judge Gres-
ham will be the favOrite sOn.-N, Y.Sun.
We are pleased to learn that there is
a probability that the Democracy of
Stark county will present the name of
its excellent citizen and unswerVing
Democrat, Hon. JOhnG. Warwick of Mas
slllon, to the coming Democratic State
Convention as candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor. There is no better man
or purer Democrat, or one who would
fill any Legislative or executive office
with more credit OF ability, than John
G.. Warwick. We hope the whole state
ticket will be composed of Just such
good men.-Bellaire Democrat.
The Lebanon Patriot has a long and
able editorial advocating the nOmina-

nor. Aside from Judge Geddes, as we
have already indicated, our choice would
be General Ward, for we know him to be
sound Democrat and a pure, able and
honest man. But we are clearly of the
opinion that Judge Geddes is the strOn-
gest man, by 10 600 votes, the. Demo-
cracy Of Ohio can elect as their Standard ,
bearer, and for this reason we favor his
nomination in preference to all others.

Hon. John G. Thompson is credited
with having declared Judge Geddes a
"CTusader." We've not the slightest
idea that Ar, Thompson ever made any
such charge. There is not the shadow
of truth in it, and Mr.. Thompson is we'll
aware of that. The charge that Mr..
Thompson and others have formed an
alliance to nominate ticket in the in
terest of other parties, for other pur-
poses, comes around as regularly as the
season, just as it has done annually for
the last twenty years, and lying about
Thompson has become so common that
a campaign is not considered opened
until the Republican press, and certain
sO-called Democratic papers have dis
charged their compost batteries at Mr..
ThOmpsOn.-Shield and Banner.
