The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
is of opinion the State Republican Con
YentiOn should not be held until the first
week in September, and we cordially
second the motion. No matter when
the nominations are made, the actual
work of campaigns is never commenced
until September It viii be found the
canvass will go much better if entered
upon Immediately after the Convention
than if postponed a month or two after
the nominations are put in the field.
The Convention should be held at Co
Iumbus. 1t is the most accessible city
to all the people in the State.

American AgrculturiSt.
Not long since we called on a farmer
whose wife was passionately fond of
flowers and had the finest geraniums we
ever saw outside of green house.
When asked the secret OF her success
she replied; at is because | grow my
plants in tin cans, and in these they do
not dry mp as they do in porous pots.-
In the tins | only water two or three
times week, while in pots they must
be watCred twice a day, and no plant

OHIO'S SENATORIAL CANVASS.


From the st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat.
The chances are that no Senatorial
canvass which has been waged in Ohio
since the close of the war was more excl
ting or dramatic than that one will be
which is soon to take place. Much greater
interest is being taken in the question of
the selection of a Legislature which is to
choose the Senator than is shown in any
other feature of the canvass in that State
this year. although a Governor and most
of the other State officers are also to be
elected. Nearly all the old Buckeye war
horses of both parties are, it appears. to
take the field in support of the legislative
nominees of their respective parties, and
a canvass more interesting, earnest, and
closely contested than that waged in Ohio
last year for President is expected.

TECUNTCATITY OF TUFLAW

IECHNlCALlI4 OF THE LAW.
From the Columbus Press.
\ striking example of how eviI-doers
take advantage of the technicalities- of
the law is afforded in the case of James
3. Ross, who was taken from the State
Prison here recently back to Belefontaine
for a third trial on the charge Of grand
larceny. Our source of information does
not state what the ground for granting
the first new trial was, but on both of the
first two trials he was found guilty. On
the second conviction he was sentenced
to the State Prison and taken there Sub
sequently it was discovered that his SEN
tence had not been entered on the Court
record and on this technicality a third
trial was ordered. On this trial he was
acquitted The trials in all cost the
county $1,000. There is little doubt about
his guilt.
