Entertalnlngly.
W. B. McGary, the Prosecuting At
torney of Lewis county, and who IS sure
to succeed himself, is In the city on
| legal business before the Supreme
Court, and, after his argument before
that body on some important railroad
case, he was asked by REGISTER rep
resentative what of the political outlook
on the gubernatorial tight.
In substance he stated that Judge
/ Bennett's nomination was assured, ana
that nothing but base deal OF political
| iuRlery could defeat his nomination.
II is simply nonsense for the Democratic
party to imagine 1t can capture any
Republican votes by nominating a man
because he is farmer. Any Democrat
who won't vote for the nominee Tor
Governor because he is not a farmer
candidate is surely MANNED, famed and
disordered, and in fact deranged in his
allegiance and feslty 10 the party
These patriotic hearts that are bleed
ing to death for chance to vote for
farmer candidate for Governor only,
might assuage their deep grief in con-
temptation OF the mGgnanimous TACT
that they can vote for farmer for Aud
ltor and Treasurer on the State ticket
and for every candidate on their county
ticket except the Prosecuting Attorney
of their county. Now just think for 4
moment-farmers have invariably held
their share of the Offices in the State;
for instance, the Office Of Sheriff, AS
SCISSORS, County Commissioners, Justices,
etc, are filed by farmers, and this I'm
aginary demand and bugbear that only
a farmer can be elected Governor OF this
State is simply absurd. The man VINO
wants to run on his record as a farmer
solely, or his record as lawyer solely,
will run where it is said the ostrich &C.
casiOnally puts his head.
Judge Bennett, however, owns five
farms in Lewis county to my personal
knowledge, and stacks the hay on them
every summer, so we claim the nomina-
ton for him in any contingency and
every phase. Besides this the First
district has never had the Governor,
and in every instance but one, our locali-
~ has been uniformly and lndustriously
ignored We desire to further say to
the face OF Ohio's ever blushing modes
ty, she ought not to be so imperious in
her exactions as TO expect a surrender
or subordination of the interests of the
entire State ticket TO their idol for Audi
tor. Mr.. Garden is a very popular
young man, but while you are watching
his interest you should guard with un-
erring vigil the interest and success OF
your party.
No, Hon. A. Edmiston is not candi-
date for Congress. If he were-or had
been, Mr.. Pendleton would not go into
the convention with either Braxton,
Gilmer, Lewis or Harrison. Scott, OF
Harrison, may drop some pepper and
salt out Of his castor on the race course
of Mr.. Pendleton yet.
Yes, Capt. Dovener is the choice OF the
Republicans in our end for Congress
and our genial friend, Hon. G. w.
Atkinson, is being urged and begged to
accept the nomination for governor.
We cannot see you any longer-being
candidate for reelection at the primary
next Thursday, we must leave at once
for the battle grounds-hoping to send
you good reports on the outcome.
Republicans out our way are for
Blaine and Goff-McKinley's nomiua-
ton means, in case Of election, Golf
attorney-general of the U. s.
