WHAT IS UP WITH OHIO?

Grosvenor’s District Turns Him Down with the Dullest Kind of Dull Thud. Lancaster, 0., Feb. 22.—0hi0 celebrated the eve of Washington’s birthday anniversary with an event that is one of the surprises of the year. The

Eighth district Republicans met to nominate a candidate for congress. This is the district so long represented by Charles H. Grosvenor, war veteran, stand patter of stand-patters and wheelhorse of the party. When the votes were counted there were Just 20 for Grosvenor and 78 for Albert Douglass, of Chillicothe. Douglass is also a prominent Ohio Republican leader, but that “Old Statistics” should be beaten 4 to 1 nearly is something that is startling; worse than all even Grosvenor’s own county, Athens, did not give him a single vote.
