In the Gdzettes repoi. Of The meeting
of the Democratic Central Committee
the following language is used: "As
soon as the committee adjourned Mr..
CAMDEN repaired to the office Of -
and had long conference With pros
pective candidate. Whether the disap-
pOintment as TO the manner of selecting
delegates was mutual or not we are not
advised" The editor of the Gazette
makes noble effort to be mysterious 10
this laborious and magical article, and
wishes to max, the impression that some
prospective candidate was disappointed
in the action Of the committee. 1t was
no doubt we'll known to the Gazette tha'
any and every prospective candidate. as
well as most Democrats OF the county,
favored the election of the delegates to
the Judicial Convention, from The fact
that it would meet the approval OF the
Democrats throughout the district. But
II the candidate referred to in this unre
vealed and auricular article is Mr..
DRIGGs, we take the pleasure Of inform.
ing the sub rosa editor OF the Gazstte
that the aforesaid Mr. DRIaas was out.

been acquitted by the most honorable
body OF men the world affords, the Uni.

nation OF both political parties have de-
clared there was no cause for an invest.
CATION, and that the Ohio Republican
Senate, with all its splut,erings and idio-
