The Ohio Democrats meet in State con-
vention at Columbus to-day There is no
doubt that Gov. Hoadly will be renominat
ed provided he will accept, and there is not
much doubt that he will. Hoadly is proba-
bly, as strong candidate as they. can uomi-
nate, but he is by no means as strong as two
years ago. His recommendation of ex-Gov-
ernor Noyes for appointment on the Pa
cifc railroads commission, his speech at the
Stallo banquet, his dilatoriness in issuing his
proclamation after the death of Gen Grant.
and his backing and filling with the saloon
men have all made him enemies. What bids
fair to trouble the convention far more than
the selection of candidates is its attitude tow
ards the administration. There is likely to
be considerable body of delegates present
filed with bitterness towards the President
because he has not turned out the Republic
can office holders faster, and it is going to
be difficult to prevent them from ''voicing'
their sentiments in vociferous tones. Prob
the upshot will be a mild endorse
ment'' such as the Cuyahoga convention
adopted, coupled with an injunction to hur
ry up in the future.

to the federal civil service commission from
which that commission names men to fill the
vacancies in the local board of examiners.
Surveyor Beattie has named his private sec
rotary, lad of % years, and refuses to make
another nomination. He has declared that
the appointment shall be awarded to this
young man orsthe place shall remain vacant
Thus examinations will be blocked, and the
civil service law will be nullified in the GUS
tom house. Surveyor Beattie says in sub
stance that his own political appointees must
conduct these examinations or the examina-
lions must cease. And Collector Hedden is
said to support him in this position.
The contest between Surveyor Beattie and
the commission will be watched great inter
est. If the Surveyor triumphs the Democra-
cy will feel that one fruitful source of their
present wretchedness is partly removed.

with Mr.. Higgins that he should have his
place again when he came back.
A NEGATIVE COMPLIMENT.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
We doubt whether there has been presi-
dent for many years who has made more
blunders in appointments than President
Cleveland. He has been wonderfully inn
posed upon, and nowhere, perhaps, more
than in Ohio, and this through Senator Paine
and the Coal-oil Gang. The President de-
serves great deal of credit, but this is not
near so much for what he has done as for
what he has not done.

Congressman Townshend of Illinois is
one Democrat who thinks that Cleveland is
the right man in the right place. In a recent
conversation Mr.. Townshend offered some
observations on office seeking and office get
ting and his success therein which may en-
courage other Democratic statesmen engaged
in like pursuits. He said: when [ was re-
elected to Congress last November and the
administration became Democratic / felt
that it was time for me to look after my
friends. | proposed well-known, time
tried, Woodworking Democrat for attorney
of the Southern Federal District
AT once Col. Morrison and John r. Eden
began fighting that appointment. 1t came
about sooner than | expected, but Gustavus
Van Hoerbeke, my friend, was promptly
commissioned, and Senator Erastus Rine-
hart is not yet federal Office holder. When
| wanted to make a change in the collector,
whose territory covers four or five congress
sional districts, | was again opposed. A few
days ago Gen. VIM. B. Anderson of Mt. Yer
non, my friend and a thoroughbred Demo-
crat, took possession of the collectors Office
To be a successful politician one must be ag-
gressive. Civil service reform is a humbug
In this scramble for position postoffices don't
count-anybody can get a postoffice; but it
is the attorney generalships and collector
