REPORTS from the campaign in Vir
ginia are encouraging. The Wise ticket
seems to be more popular than was the
Cameron ticket which was successful in
1881. The new election law, which
places all the election machinery in the
hands of the Bourbons, is rightly re-
garded as offering the only obstacle to
the success of the anti-Bourbons. The
act of the President in pardoning a
lieutenant of police in Cincinnati who
confessed to having committed gross
outrage on colored voters is interpreted
as offering encouragement to the plans
of the Virginia Bourbons. 1t certainly
was not an act calculated to discourage
Democratic election outrages.-N. Y.
Tribune.

SOMEBODY has unearthed an old proph-
ecy for the year 1886 of decidedly un-
pleasant nature. 1t appears that in the
Church of Oberemmel, near the city of
Treveri, in Germany, there is a stone
tablet some centuries old, on which is
cut the prophetic verse. in prose it may
be rendered: when Mark shall bring US
Easter, and Anthony shall sing praises
at Pentecost, and John shall swing the
censer at the feast of Corpus Domini,
thea shall the whole earth resound with
weeping and wailings." Now, it so
happens that next year Easter falls on
st. Mary's Day, Pentecost on that of st.
Anthony of Padua, and the Corpus
Domini comes on that Of st. John the
Baptist's Day, June "a, Here, then, are
the first conditions of the prophecy full
filled, so that now believers in prophe-
cies and anxious minded persons gener-
ally have only to sit down and think of
everything disagreeable that can possibly
happen to this poor old planet and the
dwellers thereon between January and
December, 1886.

THE Brooklyn Eagle accuses the Ohio
Republicans of running bloody shirt
canvass, and doing their best to trim on
the temperance issue. The Eagle adds:
The Democrats are reasonably well unit
ed in Ohio, and the Prohibitionists are
antagonizing the Republicans. The fight
is likely to fine down to contest on
members of the Legislature. to settle
whether A. G. Thurman or John Sher
man shall be sworn in as U. S. Senator
on March 4, 1887.

In view of the statement of the peti
TONERS for the pardon of Lieutenant
Mullen, that bis act, in view of all the
circumstances, was perfectly justifable.
it is well to reproduce in part what Judge
Baxter said in passing sentence upon the
self confessed criminal. Addressing Null
len the Judge said:
"The evidence of your guilt was SO
convincing that your jealous and able
counsel voluntarily yielded to its irre-
sistible force, and, with your acquies-
cence manifested in open court, consent
ed to the finding made by the jury. This
finding, thus obtained, is virtual con-
cession by you that the arrest and i'm
prisonment of the persons named were
for the wrongful purposes alleged in the
conspicuous instrument in the perpetra>
tion of the wrong complained of, and it
is our plain and imperative duty to inn
pose the punishment prescribed by law.
This must, however, be inadequate to
your crime. Congress, never having an
ticipated such an extraordinary abuse of
official power as practiced by you, has
failed to prescribe punishment commen~
surate with the offense. But, as you
have richly earned the maximum pun
ishment prescribed by law, we can not,
in justice to the public and the Constir
tuition we represent, do less than infiict
it upon you"
In the face of such a severe and de+
served rebuke by an upright Judge, what
becomes of the statements of the lying
petition?

Grant to Sherman. before the fall of
Vicksburg: "They seem to put a good
deal of faith in the Lord and Joe john
ston, but you must whip Johnston at
least fifteen miles from here"
Complimented on his strategy, Grant
replied: "Ob, don't know much about
that. had as many men as 1 wanted,
and | simply pounded away until l
pounded them down."
AtShiloh an officer asked him: "What
arrangements have you made for rer
treating, General?' To which the quiet,
impasSive man responded: ~ have not
despaired of whipping them yet.
To Mcpherson: "Mac, you know your
whisky won't help me to think; give me
dozen of the best cigars you can find,

nearly planned"
Buell. reproached Grant at the battle
of Shiloh for bis poor provisions for ret
treat in case of defeat. saying that his
steamboats, would not have carried away
10000 men. "Well," was the answer,
"there wouldn't have been more than
that many left by the time should have
got ready to CO."

HOADLY ACCEPTS.

At IL o'clock, while nominations for
Supreme Judge were being made, Cover
nor Hoadly was escorted to the stage,
amid great enthusiasm, and gracefully
accepted the denomination. The Gov
ernor said he lodged no issues, and there
was not fence in Ohio which he would
straddle. He was against prohibition
and every one knew it. He asserted that
he was for American liberty, irrespective
of color. He voted for Grover Cleveland
and thanked God for it. He was, and
will continue to be, loyal to Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration.
The names of Charles d. Martin, of
Lancaster, and William ]. Gilmore, of
Franklin, being placed in nomination
for Judge of the Supreme Court, Qong
term), the roll was called and Martin re-
ceived the nomination, the name of Gill
more being withdrawn before the eon>
clusion of the roll call.
The principal fight of the convention
was in the selection of candidate for
the vacancy on the Supreme bench, vice
Okey, deceased. George B. Okey, son of
the late incumbent was presented with
Virgil P. Kline, of Cuyahoga, and Gibson
Athefton, of Licking, as other leading
candidates. On the first ballot such
great confusion prevailed in an effort to
change from other candidates to Okey
and Atherton that another ballot had to
be ordered. On the third ballot Ather+
ton was nominated, and it was made
unanimous.
A little scene was created in the con
vention by the introduction of W. A.
Miles, of Columbus, member of the
committee appointed at the late meeting
of the State Voters Union to memorial
ize the state conventions of the two par
ties for a resubmission of the second
amendment and closing saloons on Sun
day to vote of the people, and gen.
eral remedy of existing evils from the
drink traffic A great uproar was cre+
ated by glass of water being handed to
Miles while reading the report. 1t was
referred to the Committee on Resolutions
under the rules.

Nominated.
WINDY PLATFORM.

COLUMBUS, O., August 20. Before ten
o'clock, the hour fixed for the meeting of
the Democratic State Convention, the
Grand Opera House was packed from
pit to dome, and select band entertain
ed the audience with national airs. The
greatest harmony prevailed. and the pre-
dictions th,,C the old ticket would be re-
nominated still stand good.
A few minutes after ten, H. T. j. Co.
gan. Chairman of the State Central Com
mittee, called the convention to order,
and ex-Congressman Finley presented
the report of the Committee on Perma-
nent Organization, which was adopted
unanimously. The permanent chairman,
Hon. John F. Follett, was then eonduct>
ed to the chair amid tumultuous ap
plause.
Mr.. Follett, in taking the chair, con-
graduated the convention upon its ap-
pearance. and rejoiced with the Democ-
racy of Ohio that they were able to meet
in convention under a National Demo-
cratic Administrations pure and grand
administration. At the conclusion of his
remarks, Mr.. Follett was roundly ae-
plauded.
The report of Committee on Creden-
tials being adopted, and the COMMITTEES
on Resolutions not being ready to report,
it was voted to proceed with the nomin-
alton of candidates.
Judge George W. Geddes took the plat
form, and in a few we'll chosen words
placed in nomination the Hon. George
Hoadly. The name of Hoadly was re-
ceived with long continued cheers and
shouts.
At the conclusion of his remarks, Mr.
Geddes moved a suspension of the rules
and the nomination of Hoadly for Gov
ernor by acclamation. This motion was
received with hearty cheers and round
upon round of applause, and was second
ed in a neat speech by Gen. Mike Ryan,
of Cincinnati. The chairman then put
the question, and it was unanimously
adopted.
In quick succession the name of John
G. Warwick was placed in Homipatien,
and he was also re-nominated by accla
nation.

THE ROUEN CATHEDRAL.
Description OF tho Place Where Richar
Ceur de Lion Is Buried.

Description OF tho Place Where Richard
Ceur de Lion Is Buried.
The Rouen Cathedral itself, though
lefaced by an elongated iron nutmeg
crater which has the impudence to call
itself a cupola, is magnificent as . mass
when first seen from the corner, and
finer still when examined in detail from
the wonderful gallery of carvings
around its great gate to the long g-necked
gargoyles that stretch their misshapen
heads like hungry giraffes from the
angles of its mighty tower.
The interior is somewhat disappoint-
ing after the grand outside, but beneath
its smooth white pavement lies buried
many an eventful chapter of history.
Here the '.lion heart of Richard C9uY
de Lion lies cold and still forever. Here
John of Bedford, the destroyer of Joan
of Arc, sleeps in the same earth that
hides his victim. Here Prince Henry
of England. cut off in the flower of his
youth. rests in the heart of the fair land
that England has lost forever. And
here. in the ground that his own right
hand wrested from the terrified King of
France, molder the bones of grim old
Rolf. or Rollo, the first Duke of Nor
mandy, who, when King Charles the
Fat offered him his daughter and the
seaboard Of Normandy on condition of
his becoming a Christian, answered with
a business-like frankness and prompti-
tude natural to the most eminent pirate
of the age:

with the coast.

that give the most"
