The Democracy Of Ohio assembled
in State Convention at Toledo on
Wednesday Of last week, and nomi-
mated the following ticket: Secretary
Of State. John Mcbride, Of Stark
County; Judge of Supreme Court,
Martin D. Follett, of Washington
County; Clerk of Supreme Count,
John w. Cruikshank, of Miami
County; Commissioner of Common
Schools, Leroy D. Brown, of Butler
County; Member of Board of Public
Works, Louis Ludwig, of Cuyahoga
County.
Mr.. Mcbride is President of the
Miners Union, and the Democracy
perhaps hope to catch some Republi-
can help through this disgustingly
thin trick. The strong probability is
that Mr.. Mcbride will be most inglo-
riously showed under 1t will be
shown that the men whom they thus
seek to gull, are among the most in
telligent voters in the State, and will
not be dragged into politics, and made
the playthings Of demagogues, by
John Mcbride.

There is a female in Washington
named Sarah Zimmerman. There is
also one-legged officer named Capt.
Won Luett- WITT. This officer lost his
leg, years ago, iii charge upon lndi-
ans, out west, and for long tine was
a boarder at the woman's house, hav-
ing colored men to attend him. Re
Gently Mrs Zimmerman sued the
Captain for attendance" upon him,
and the Captain puts in a claiRi that
the woman stole his wooden leg. Thus
do legal complications pile up. 1t will
now be necessary for the woman to
prove-not only that the Capt. owes
her, but that she only has two limbs,
and they both her own. Sarah IS said
to be on the suing hand, having sued
Congressman Geddes for damages,
and recalled the suit. Our sympathies
are with the Captain-we hope he
will recover his wooden leg, at least.

We are constantly meeting with
disappointments in this variable OH
world. It seems to be of no use to
fix ones affections upon any idol, lest
by some rude shock of adversity, or
some abrupt. visitation of fate, the
thing is knocked into dim ideality.
Here we have been rejoicing in the
factor supposed fact-that the Dem
ocrats of the Twelfth District had
nominated for Congress, in the per-
son Of General James W. Denver, a
gallant old 'hero Of two wars" Some
how, when the Democrats begin to
boast Of their soldier candidates" we
always feel little bit suspicious, but
we supposed in this case we were con-
sidering a man who had perfect
record as soldier in two wars. But
here comes Father Milliken, of the
Fayette County Herald, and one of
the very best and most reliable Of men,
and knocks our hopes endways, after
this fashion:
General Denver was in the Mexi-
can war and was good soldier. He
was also in the war for the Union
against the rebellion, as a General, if
we mistake not, but resi- gned his COM
and came home, on account |
of President Lincoln's proclamation,
giving liberty to the slaves in the
South"
At the battle of Franklin, Tennes-
see, in November, 1854, Capt. Watts,
of the Tenth Mississippi. Confederate
was captured, and turned
over his sword to Capt. Knapp. Of the
104th Ohio. When they separated,
Capt. Watts exacted a promise from
Capt. Knapp that if they both sur
vived the war, the sword was to be re-
turned. They did not exchange post
office addresses, however, and Capt.
Knapp kept the sword for nearly
years. Ascertaining the
address of Capt. Watts short time
ago, the Yankee Capt. invited his
Former captive to attend the reunion
Of the 104th, at Canton, Ohio, where
5he long-lost sword was returned to
nim amid much pomp and ceremony.
The meeting was described as an ex-
happy one all around. The
Mississippi Captain suggested method
IF keeping up friendly relations be-
tween North and South-let Northern
boys marry Southern girls, and
Northern girls marry Southern boys.
