The Nicaragua Canal.

The Ohio Republican State Conven-
tion passed yesterday one good resolu-
ton 1t reads as follows:
believing the proposed Nicaragua
canal Is needed for commercial extern
sion and national defence, and that 1t
ought to be constructed and operated
by tho government of the United States
or under its protection, we commend
this project to our representatives in
Congress"
We cannot, for the life Of US, under
stand why the Democrats should an
tagonize any measure simply because
the Republicans advocate it. John
Wesley said once that he was not in
favor OF allowing the devil to have all
the good times; and so we are not in
favor of allowing the Republicans to
include all the good measures amongst
