The Ohio State Election.

This approaching election has more
than ordinary importance, and begins
to attract general attention. Hon.
George Hoadly, late q Judge OF the
Superior Court Of Cincinnati, is the
Democratic candidate for Governor.
He was nominated by State conven.
ton in which the whole Democracy of
the State was fully represented. His
opponents for the nomination, Judge
Geddes, and Colonel Ward, manfully,
acquiesced in his nomination, and
pledged their support to Hoadly after
his nomination; and both of those gen
tlemen are now in the field honorably
and faithfully lsboring for the success
of the ticket There can be no sepsi-
ble or valid reason why every Demo-
cratic voter in Ohio should not vote
and also work earnestly for Hoadly's
election. Indeed, it is the duty of ev-
cry Democrat in the State to 90 so,
and every faithful and tue man will
most cordially aud zealously preform
that duty.
Judge Hoadly is a distinguished
citizen and an eminent lawyer in Ohio,
and has been long and well known to
the people of the State. His ability
and integrity of character are unques-
toned and unquestlonable. And no
intelligent man of either political par
ty doubts but that if elected, he will
discharge the duties of Chief Execu-
tive Magistrate honorably, efficiently,
and to the entire satisfaction of the
whole people Of the State. More than
that, his great experience, ready abili-
ty and high tone of character, will
give confidence, elevate the character
of the State, and reflect honor upon the
people of Ohio.
1t is not true, as some of the Repub-
lican newspapers say, that Judge
Hoadly is a recent convert to the
Democratic party. We speak from
personal knowledge when we say, en-
phatically, that this charge is not true.
Judge Hoadly has always been Demo
cratic in his views. For some years
he was assiduously engaged in his pro-
fession and on the bench, and took
but little, if any, part in political af-
fairs. But for many years past he has
actively participated in the public dis
cussions Of great questions on the
Democratic side And in 1880, in the
Presidential campaign, few of the
Democratic speakers comprehended
more thoroughly and presented more
effectively the great questions involved
than did Judge Hoadly. There can
be no ground whatever to doubt or
hesitate to his being sound and thor
oughly reliable on all questions, State
or national.
The Republican candidate is young
man, with no experience in public, and
almost unknown to the people of the
State. If the people of Ohio can COM
prehend their own true interests, and
the dignity and welfare of that great
State Hoadly will be triumphantly
elected. 1t will be an honor to the
State creditable to the intelligence and
wisdom of the people, and tend to ad-
vance their prosperity and establish
their interests on solid foundation.
The great work the people Of the
country have now IN hand is para,
mount to all other considerations. 1t
rises above everything else. 1t is that
great work rescuing the Government
from the hands of plunderers and vlo-
lators of the honor and public faith of
the nation. Let no trivial matters or
personal or local conflicts interfere
with so great and noble a work.
