THE ONO SITUATION.

For an independent newspaper the
esteemed Post appears to regard the
situation in Ohio from a partisan point
Of view, and the partsanship is Of a
lurid Republican hue at that
The Post charmingly ignores the Re
publican factional fights in that State
and has its ear to the ground for Dem
ocratic disturbances only.
VIII our esteemed contemporary per-
NIT us to enlighten it on the Republi-
can rumblings Of an impending earth
quake in that State? We shall pro-
ceed to do so, as a matter Of conscien.
tious duty to a benighted 'independ-
ent' newspaper,
In the first place, The Globe has but
recently digested a long letter from a
prominent Republican, who has the
confidence Of Ex-Governor Bushnell,
and this letter conveys the information
that the Bushnell faction has knives
all ready ground to cut into shoe
strings little Geo X. Nash, the guber-
Material Republican candidate for re-
election. Nash has been extensively
hostile, before and during his term as
governor, to Ex-Governor Bushnell per-
sonally, and he has taken the exquisite
delight of a small creature in remov-
ing from office every Bushnell man he
could find
The Bushnell faction, so-called, rep

friends resent the snubbng and insults

around in the chair Asa s. Bushnell

be inferred from this extract Of a pri.
yate letter to the writer from the prom.

Nash will find out in November
whether we remember his record, and
have manhood enough left to resent
his insults Let me tell you that not

How is this Mr. Post? If you doubt
the genuiness Of the extract We will let
the editor Of the Post read the letter

Governor Foster has many thousands
