Hoadly und Judge Foraker, rival candidates for Governor of Ohio, occurred at Toledo on the evening of tho Bth inst., and drew an immense crowd. A Toledo dispatch says: “In. the courso of Hoadly’s remarks he said that Abraham Lincoln died a Democrat. What he intended to say was that if he had lived three months longer he would have been a Democrat. When Foraker replied he censured Hoadly for misrepresenting, and said that Lincoln, instead of dying a Democrat,

died by the hand of a Democrat. Much excitement prevailed during this part of the ’debate, but it soon quieted.” Mr. Jacobs, of Kentucky, appointed United States Minister to Colombia, is about 55 years of age. He was a member of the Common Council of Louisville, and was twice elected Mayor of that city. He was a prominent candidate for the gubernatorial nomination in 1884, and received a respectable vote in the Democratic Convention. He is a lawyer of ability and high standing. Mr. Henderson, of Arkansas, who was appointed Justice of the Supreme Court of Mexico, is about 45 years of age, and has had the office of Attorney General of Arkansas for four years. While identified with the Democratic party of his State, ho has never held any strictly political office.
