THE OHIO DEMOCRACY.

On Thursday last Judge George Hoadley
was nominated for governor by the de-
mocracy of Ohio, after a spirited contest
with Gen. Durbin Ward, an old time demo-
cratic wheel horse of that state. The nom
inee, Judge Hoadley, is one of the first
lawyers of the state and is exceedingly
popular with the foreign elements, more
especially the anti-temperance Germans
and Irish. He studied law under the late
chief justice of the supreme court of the
United States. Served two different terms
as judge, once on the common pleas bench
OF Hamilton county, Ohio, and one term as
judge of the superior court of Cincinnati.
He gained considerable political noteriety
in early life as young "Free Soiler," then
as an anti-slavery advocate. After the or
ganization of the republican party he par
ticipated in all of it's conventions and pO-
litical campaigns from 1854 to 1862. In til at
year he took the independent republican
chute, and was soon after found doing
yeoman service in the Greeley campaign.
Since that time he has co-sperated with the
democracy and gained an un nviable no.
toriety in the opinion which he rendered
as to the eligibility of ''Cronon," one of
the Tilden electors from Oregon, favoring
the attempt of the Tilden gang to steal one
of the electors from that state.

We had the pleasure of meeting Mr.. John
n. johnson, the only colored attorney-at-
law we met west of Arkansas on our edi-
torial tour to Mexico. An Austin paper
has the following to say OF him:
FAIR EXPRESSION.
John n. johnson, the first and only col
conducting a case to-day in the district
court. johnson is an intelligent looking
man. of dark color, and easy, fluent manner.
He was educated in this city and admitted
to the bar here at the last October term.
He is treated with due consideration by the
white members of the bar, and is given
every chance to make his mark Austin
Daily News.
1t may be remembered by our readers
that Mr.. johnson attended the A. N. G..
here in 1878, has been in school ever since
and has graduated; commenced business in
Austin. a city where they wont allow a
nor drink in saloons. When we travel we
find that Arkansas is not the worst place
in the world, at least we are several years
ahead of some parts of Texas in civiliza-
ton.
Note the difference-white men invited
the editor of the Mansion to join the Ar
kansas press gang, and on application only
one man voted against us, and that was
nom deplume "W atson." The balance of
the Arkansas press gang cordially received
us with heart and hand. What did Texas
memberships Unanimously passed a reso-
lutien at Dallas, Texas. that no negro
should ever become 4 member of the asso-
citation. Arkansas Is ahead. Still they are
grumbling, because the colored people have
called convention at Louisville.

THE STAR ROUTE FARCE.

The star route trials are ended, the gov
ernment has disgorged and somebody has
pocketed a even hundred thousand or so Of
dollars and every ore of the accused has
been acquitted. Dorsey. who seems to
have been the chief target for the shooters,
has not been found guilty, and the great
exhibition Of virtue on the part Of certain
officials. which was paraded SO ostenta-
uously before the country, has failed to
excite the least admiration. 1t seems to us
perfectly evident that the onslaught on
Dorsey was not prompted by any good
motive, or by .ny desire to promote the
public good, but by desire ON the part of
certain persons to disgrace man who, al
most at a bound, arose to unprecedented
prominence in republican circles. As Sec
retary of the republican central committee,
Dorsey y..manifested abilities Of high order
and proved his capacity to stand as q rival
In the way OF the ambition of some of the
political schemers around Washington.
They determined to osdown' him and make
him the scape-goat for their own sins. A
similar case happened here in Little Rock.
A system Of stealing was tor years in vogue
in one of the federal Offices and the incum-
bents, in order to save themselves from the
exposure which they knew was forthcom-
ing, pitched upon a colored janitor in the
office and tried to convict him of theft.
They failed in this shrewdly arranged
scheme, and are to-day in a felon's cell
meditating on their lack of success. The
scheme to sacrifice Dorsey has had q simi-
lar outcome, and the proceedings in the
case have done nothing but to excite con-
tempt for the whole gang connected with
the star route humhug.

The psople of the United States demand
that Hon. B. X. Bruce be placed In the
demand at the coming colorsd convention.
We are entiLled to portfolio by virtue of
our votes and fidelity to the Republican
party.-[W Bee.
We fear that the Bee is doing what has
often been done before, that is mistakixg 6
the scheming and gabble of a few inflated
Washington city bosses for the voice of
the people. We venture to suggest that
whether or not Mr.. Bruce is placed in the
cabinet is a matter Of the smallest import
ance, compared with some that the con-
vention might profitably discuss. II said
convention can devise any means by which
the convict system, with its farming cut
feature and its attendant horrors can be
abolished, it will do something the people
will appreciate. If it can devise any me ans
whereby free and fair elections can be Sc
cured in the south, the people will appre-
ciate that. If it can do anything that will
tend to secure for the laborer q the south
a fair return for his labors, multitudes will
rise up and call 1t blessed. Ifit can do any
thing to promote the welfare Of the great
mass of the colored people, by securing to
any extent a more perfect enjoyment of
tuelT bOClAI AAO pOitLlCoi IL Will uOI
have net in vain. But if its leading fea-
ture shall be to promote the plans or to
minister to the ambition Of any one indi-
vidual, whoever he may be, those present
would have been more probably employed
in staying at home and attending to their
usual business. We see indications Of an
intent on the part of certain parties to run
the convention to suit their own purposes,
and we warn them in advance that there
will be an aggregation of intelligence there
that cannot be muzzled and led, and the
introduction of any little petty scheme will
be the signal for dynamite. So Messuers
schemers, don't come there to manipulate
and monopoliKe. Don't expect to run that
convention In accordance with any cut and
dried schemes for the benefit of Mr.. Any
body. -Er. Bruce is good enough man,
and has been very handsomely paid for his
services, but 10 not of sufi Gle Mt Importance
to justify the holding of 3 national conven-
tion for his benefit.

COLORED SCHOOLS PRO
CROSSING.

We clipped the following from letter
to the Little Rock Democrat of May 80,
which spoke in high terms of the manner
In which people from far and near decorat-
ed and honored the confederate dead and
made the following remarks:
Prof. Foster, colored, aud his wife, FORM
erly of Little Rock, have just closed nine
months school at the brick school house In
the northeast part of Fayetteville. They
were at first employed by our schoo! direc-
tors to teach a three months scheol for the
colored portion of our district, but they
continued to teach six longer for very
small consideration paid them by the
patrons of the school and the American
mission. His examination exercises closed
Thursday night with a public exhibition.
The school room was neat and clean and
G. rgeously decorated with festoons and
house filed with An appreciative audience,
correspondent was delighted with the
evidences of improvement in the manner
and conduct of all who had been so for
tunate as to be under the influence and
training of Prof. Foster and his accomplish
ed assistant, Mrs. Foster. The wonderful
Improvement in these eOlored youths and
children Of Fayetteville has convinced nae
more thoroughly than ever before that
none but colored teachers should ever be
employed to teach our cOlored schools, for
they know best how to manage the child
interest in their success and Improvement.
White teachers have come from the north
to teach colored schools in our land, but
the money was their object. But Prof.
Foster and his accomplished wife have
shown themselves to be actuated by laud-
able ambition to prove to the world that
their own race are capable of mental i'm
provement equal to those of any people,
and they deserve great credit snd ought to
be encouraged by all friends of education.
enclose you copy of the programme Of
Thursday evenings exercises. l wish l
had time to give full report of the ex-
aminstions which occupied all of Tuesday
and Wednesday and which was thorough
and complete. Mrs. Foster, who performs
well on the piano and organ, has been
training them in vocal music, and at the
beginning of Thursday nights exercises
the audience was frs: greeted by a song OF
greeting, which was rendered by the en-
tire school (or about forty vO1ces) all sing
ing in excellent time, Mrs. F. playing
accompaniment on the organ, and assure
you it was excellent. These teachers have
not only succeeded we'll in teaching those
lessons laid down in our text books, but
they have taught them to be neat and Pc
lite, and the fruits of their labors can be
seen on our streets as we'll as in the school
room. l am only sorry that these Jealous
and efficient teachers are not going to re-
mai in our town after the present session,
but are going from here to Chicago.

There was "high old time" in the Ohio
democratic convention last week. The bal
'oting for governor began shortly after 10
O'Clock am. and it was after O'Clock pm.
before the result OF the first ballot was an
nounced. Old ex-senator Thurman, the
great grandfather of the party in that state
was present as a delegate, and was exceed
ingly active and frisky for one OF his years.
He put Gen. Ward in nomination in II Wig
orsus old time democratic speech, and then
went down among the delegates and la
bored like Trojan for his nomination.
Meantime the convention resolved itself
into beer garden mass meeting and fairly
out did all other similar democratic gather

and the bourbons and Hoadley carried OF
