:B Mr.. Wallace, of the Springfield Demo-
Graf, paid our sanctum very pleasant Wis it on
Friday. In speaking of the Senatorial ques-
ton, Mr.. Wallace thought the Democra cy
had excellent timber to select from, but be-
ing from Clark county he was emphatically
in favor of John H. Thomas, the respected
manufacturer of Springfield, who is sound
upon the tariff question, in fact one of the
original tariff reformers of the State. Mr.W.
says while Mr.. Thomas ia not millionaire
as the Republican press make him out to be,
he is comfortably fixed, and what he has he
has accumulated by stric ly attending to his
large business relations for the past quarter
of century. He is sound Democrat and
has done much towards securing the grand
Democratic victory in Ohio. Mr.. Thomas
has many friends he'e.

Death OF senator PendIeton.

Democrats especially will be panied to
learn of the death Of Hon. George H. PEN
deton, which sad event was announced by
cable dispatch on Monday. His death was
not unexpected, as he had been unwell for
long time. and late dispatches indicated that
there was little hope of his ultimate recovery.
Mr.. Pendleton was little over Ga years
old and had been for nearly the whole period
Of his manhood more or less in public life.
He began the practice of Law in his native
city of Cincinnati and soon achieved success,
but having taste for politics, a fine presence
and agreeable manners 1t was not long before
he was pressed into public service. He was
sent to the State senate in 1854 by the Demo-
Gratis of Hamilton county and at the close of
his term was sent to congress. He served
four consecutive terms and in the last year
of his fourth term was nominated for vice
President of the United States on the same
ticket with Gen. Mcclellan. In 1866 he was
one of the Ohio delegates to the national un-
ion convention at Philadelphia, which passed
into history as the "arm in arm convention"
because the proceedings opened with the del
egates from Massachuset and South Car
olina entering the hall arm in arm. The OBJ
ject of that convention was the fraternization
of the north and south, the establishment
of the Union on the basis of the constitution
and the Endorsement of the policy of Presi-
dent Andrew johnson. On his retirement
from congress Mr.. Pendleton devoted him.
self to the practice of his profession. In 1869
he was elected president of the Kentucky
Central railroad, returning to public life
again in 1879, when he took his seat in the
United States Senate from Ohio as successor
to Allen G. Thurman. At the expiration of
his term in 1885 President Cleveland appoint
ed him minister to Germany,

T"The farmers are ignored. The inter
ests of the real creators of wealth are lost
sight of, that manufacturers may amass great
fortunes. They are taxed by these classes on
everything they buy; not to 60 into the coff-
ers of the United States Treasuary, but to go
into their own plethoric pockets. Their
princely residences, their liveried servants,
their costly turn outs in every manufacturing
town, testify to the wealth they are making,

1t seems the great Northwest, the Glib
raltar of Democracy, has so far but one pro-
nounced candidate for United States Senator,
in the person of the Hon. Calvin s. Brice, of
Lima This being fact, and believing that
our readers would be pleased to see picture
of the gentleman, we have at some little ex-
pense procured an electrotype, which is taken
from aphotograph and which is said to be a
very good likeness of Mr.. Brice. 1t is given
to our patrons this week. in connection with
brief sketch of his career. In doing this,
| in no sense are we championing the cause
of this distinguished gentleman, or leopard
izing the interests of any of the other tried
and true Democrats whose names have been
mentioned in connection with the Senator
ship, the selection of any one of whom would
do honor to the great Democratic party and
the people of the State. But, as one of the
and Mr.. B ice being born and raised in this
section, we hasten to introduce the man to
our readers. That Mr. Brice has good claims
upon the party none will deny, and that hi
commanding position and national reputa-
t on would be of much benefit to the Demo-
cratic party of Ohio all must admit, should
he be selected as Senator. In speaking of
himself and others MIR. Brice says:
81 do not claim that the Democracy of
Ohio owes me debt of gratitude, but 1 do

will not be considered boastful, when I say
that in an extraordinary busy career in the
