who ever since he assumed the editorial
chair has regularly kept up his daily chron-
icle record and editorial squibs, with stero-
typed words and phrases that never get
farther than abuse of the party of his first
love, appears to think that because he can
not write a respectable leader, no one else
can. We have rule that no one except
ourselves can get admission to our editor
ial columns, and anything found in them,
unless otherwise indicated may safely be
charged up to our account. 1t is safe to
say that neither by reason of originality,
or ability, is the Editor of the Constitution
in danger of raising suspicion that he Is
not the author of the editorial articles that
appear in his prehistoric sheet. A new
thought or bright idea would make his
readers think that the Professor, now many
years in his dotage, had "shuffled off this
mortal coil" and that new hand was
driving the editorial quill.

THE County Convention held in Elyri0
last Saturday was the culmiuation Of the
excitement and interest that for the last
two weeks absorbed the attention of Re
publicans. 1t was well settled after the
meeting Of the primaries that Mr.. WebbeI
had majority Of the delegates, but
whether the desperate efforts and threats
Of the opposition would succeed in intro
ducing third candidate was an unsolyed
problem. The final conclusion of each
faction was TO stand by their respective
candidates, and each was formally pre-.
sented, Mr.. Nye by Mr.. Herman Ely, and
Mr.. Webber by Mr.. Tucker. The first
ballot resulted in the. nomination of Mr..
Webber by majority of 10 votes, All
other candidates were nominated by ac.
clamation, the present incumbents being
selected, with the exception Of Mr. Rob.
bins the treasurer, whose term is limited
by law TO one term. Mr.. L. L. Williams,
of Elyria, very estlmable gentleman was
chosen without opposition for that place.
The nominees of the convention are as
follows: Probate judge, L. Ii. Hinman
treasurer, Z. E. Williams; clerk of courts,
II. ]. Lewis; prosecuting attorney, A. r.
Weber; sheriff, Calvin Ensign; commits
sioner, E. P. BuTell; infrmary director

were selected for delegates to the Judicial

J. w. Harper jr., the head OF the firm,
who wrote, Mar. 13, 1888, TO gentleman,
asking him to see Mr.. Blaine on the sub
ject of publishing his book; from which
letter we quote as follows:
