urts of which were the disgraceful
scenes enacted by the Hamilton dele
CATION and the characteristic and pecu-
liar speech of the shelved candidate,
Hon. Durbin Ward, who formally an
nounced himself as candidate for the
L. 5 Senatorship. His speech was de
livered in a tone of disappointment,
which he made but poor effort to con-
ceal. Judge Geddes. who had but slight
hopes of 4 nomination, spoke in pleas
ant mood.
The disgraceful scenes continued
Throughout the entire convention. but
seemed to have eliminated while the
nominations for state Auditor were be-
ing made The mixing of bad whisky
and ill temper in the Hamilton delega-
tion resulted in regular knock-down
between Pete Kelly, brother of the
map who shot an alderman at the pri-
maries in Cincinnati, and Chas. W. Met
calf. The police let them pummel each
other for awhile and then yanked them
out of the convention, and put them in
the city prison. r
1t was after midnight when the State
School Commissioner was nominated,
and not one-half of the delegates had re-
mained in the hall. Yet one of the
liercest and most disgraceful fights of
the convention occurred. After the
counties had all voted, friend of Prot.
Burns, and it is said it was our own
county clerk Darrah, charged that there
had been palpable fraud, one man hay
ing cast the votes of four or FIVE coun-
ties for Brown. The cry of school
book ring" was raised, and the two sides
came together in the aisles, and the
cries of liar, fraud. &c, were heard on
every hand. The chair finally called
the mob to order, and ordered a new call
of the counties.
The ticket rs finally nominated, was
as follows:
For Governor: George w. Hoadly, of
Hamilton.
Lieut.. Gov: John G.Warrick. Of Stark.
Supreme Judge (short term) Martin
d. Follett, Washington.
Supreme Judge dong term: Selvin
Owen, Williams.
Supreme Court Clerk John j. Cruik-
shank, Miami.
Attorney General: James Lawrence,
Cuyahoga.
Auditor of State: Emil Keiswelter,
Franklin.
Treasurer of State: Peter Brady, San
dusky.
Leroy d. Brown, of Butler, was nomi-
mated for School Commissioner, and
John P. Martin, of Green, member Of
the Board of Pubic Works.
The State Central Committee met and
organized, and proceeded to lay the
Hoadly men on the shelf. Hon. ,Jongee,
the great organizer, was laid out. Fol-
lowing is the organization: David K.
Paige, of Summit, was elected chairman
of the Central Committee; Gilbert II.
Bargar, of COshoctOn county, chairman
of the Executive Committee; d. G. Bal
lentine, of Clark, Secretary of the State
Executive Committee, and C.N. Schmick,
of Columbus, Secretary of the Central
Committee.

THE Mississippi and Missouri rivers
and their tributaries are on another
high, resulting in immense destruction
of property. The following thrilling ac-
count of the devastation along the Mis-
sissippi is published in the ST. Louis Re-
publican of Monday:
"The worst has happened over the
river, and disaster which on Saturday
involved the destruction of the rich,
ripe crops of from seven to ten thou
sand acres has in few short hours
triped its proportions. The waters now,
defiant and unimpeded, are making a
triumphal march over an immense ter
ritory which previous floods have been
unable to reach, and although they have
already wrought ruin of vast dimen-
sions, they will continue to increase
their scope for three or four days yet to
come. Saturday morning the Mississip-
ri flood broke down the clay barrier that
separated it from the low lands opposite
the mouth Of the Missouri. Throughout
Saturday night the great flood poured
into the slowly widening crevasse, until
what had been an immense depression
three miles wide by seven miles long.
teeming with luxurious corn and golden
wheat, awaiting the harvest, was con-
verted into i great placid, scumny lake,
whose surface was on level with the
fastnowing river"

The Scott Liquor Law
Declared Constitutional by the Su

Tie Supreme Court on Tuesday grant
ed the prayer of the relator in the case
Of ID. A. HOlingsworth, ex. rel, State
of Ohio vs. A J. Frame, Auditor, to
compel the latter TO issue the usual no.
tice in newspapers relative to the pay
ment of taxes under the Scott Liquor
law. Justice McIlyaine announced the
decision of the court, which completely
sustains the cOnstitutiOnslily of the
law. Ths syllabus contains but two
points, the first declaring the annual as
sessment laid by the law upon liquor
selling to be valid. The second dispo-
ses of the objection that the law by rem
dering the property liable for the tax op-
Grated to impair existing contracts and
was therefore unconstitutional. by de-
claring that this provision of the law
does not operate when an unexpired
lease is in force. All the members of
court were present when the decision
was rendered, but Judge johnson. who
had been absent for several weeks at the
bedside of his SOD, and whose illness
resulted in his death last week, and was
necessarily prevented from sitting in the
case and hearing the arguments, had no
opinion On either side. Judges Doyle,
Upson and McIlvaine, cOncurred, and
Judge Okey dissented from the first
point. Judge Mcllvaine will write the
full opinion of the court

Unfortunate Democratic Nominations.

Unfortunate Democratic Nominations.
Whenever the Democracy have faced
the people with pervert from Republi-
cansm az 4 candidate they Eave been
badly beaten. Their first trial WAS made
with Horace Greeley in 1872. They as
sumed upon Mr.. Greeley's strong hold
upon Republican affection, and battered
themselves that they could win under
his leadership. But they were doomed
to sad disappointment. Scarcely a cor
poral's guard forsook the Republican
party to follow Mr.. Greeley into the
Democratic camp, while thousands of
wool-dyed Democrats, all over the coun-
try, sulksd in their tents and refused to
support their old-time opponent. As a
result Mr.. Greeley was beaten 727,975
on the popular vote, and General Grant
received 2S6 Of the 500 votas cast in the
electoral colleges. Forgetting the causes
which secured their national defeat in
1872 the Democrats of Ohio nominated
renegade Republican for Governor in
1881. Every appliance known to the
politicians art was put in operation and
piles of money were expended to elect
Mr.. Bookwalter, but he was beaten
more than twenty-fnnr thousand votes
| by his Republican competitor. Bu. for
the diversion made in Bookwalter's ia
vor by the Prohibition party he would
have been laid out to the tune of forty
thousand. Again the Democrats have
taken up with traitor To Republican
principles in the person of tile Hon.
George Hnadlv. We shall say nothing
of the underhanded methods BIZ which
this renegade was forced upon the party
to the exclusion of lifelong Democrat
like General Ward, or an Oily Cannon
| like Judge Geddes. 1t is enough to know
| that be has been nominated. ard that
the sam. fate which overlook Greeley
and Bookvalter awaits him. Whatever
may be the political sentiments of the
American people, they despise traitor
to country Or principle. As rule, both
| Republicans and Democrats wonld rath-
er support an open opponent than to
vote for q man who has snpakad into
one organization or the other for purely
selfish purposes. lfanything, the Dem
orratS have been more unfortunate at
this time in the choice of gubernato-
rial candidate THAN they were two years
ago. Judge Hoadly may have money at
his command and find favor with the
whisky element, but this is year in
which rum and corruption will fail to
win. He is not sure of his own party
vote by long odds, while every moral,
religious, and political element outside
of Democracy is sure to be united
against him. After election he will be
left high and dry like a storm-beaten,
stranded bulk Cleveland Leader.
