JOHN II. LYNCH, the colored man
who was chosen TO preside over the
temporary organization Of the repub
lIcan national convention can, at
least, say that the greatest political
convention thas ever assembled on
earth was presided over by colored
man. The postlon is not one of profit
to the colored men, but it is recognl-
ton Of them that they may well feel
gratiiicd over.

UNHAPPY OHIO.

Ohio is unhappy She has met with
a financial disaster far greater than
the reduction of the tariff on wool.
Her October election has lost its i'm
portance, and with it Ohio'S chief
source of income is gone. For years
Ohio absorbed tie greater portion Of
the campaign fund of both parties on
her October election, and then absorb,
ed the presidency with most of the
patronage belongin. to that office
When Indiana saw that her Oc-
toher election was corrustiug
her whole people she abolished
that election. Ohio refused to do so.
She did not care anything about the
corruption so long as it paid we'll. In
this she was like some OF the Grant
& Ward bank contributors, who uu,
derstood there were big corrupt con-
tracts with the government that
would pay large dividends. The
knowledge of the fraud on the gov.
ernment did not deter them, on the
contrary il stimulated their eagerness
ogom. Next October the voters oi
Ohio will have TO go to the
polls and without being paid fol
it and this will be sad day
for Ohio. But the saddest part of il
is Ohio voters will have to vote TO,
somebody out of Ohio for president
and somebody out of Ohio will share
in the patronage of the president
These things will casse great finan
cial distress in Ohio, for she had nc
industry that produced SO much ready
cash as her politics. Both politica
parties are now looking after New
York and neither cares what Ohis
does, and this is what makes Obi.

be witnessed by fresh car load. The
car was so b.dly balanced and over
loaded that when the balloon had risen
to height of 140 feet, the passengers,

overturned and the entire number of
