by means Of mock log cabins and the
other foolery they exhibit. ss an insult
10 the intelligence Of our fellow citizens;
screen to hide their own principles,
and those of their candidates ffolnthe
public eve; and yerifcaiion Of thepIcA
phecy Of John Adams in bis Cunning
ham letters, Hthat. illustricas tanlhes,
when fallen into decay, win profess 10
turn democrats, and conrt the peoploi
with an art and an assiduity which no
vulgar democrat canteven altalp."
Resolvcd, ,rha, the course Of Geners
al Harrison in shielding himsek behtNd
. cd668snnaj cotdmi,tee, and rcfdssng
TO make any declaration Of his opiuioBs
for the public eve, is Unprecedented IN
the history of this country, betrayal
Of the want of confidence 10 the people,
a direct insult TO their intelligence aud
INTEGRITY; and a flagrant outrage upon
their sufIrsges.
Resoloed, That WILSON SHAN
NON, our democratic Governor, has
well sustained the confidence reposed in
him by the citizens of his native state;
the malice, the ISLANDERS and persecu>
tIons of HE enemles, have but shown
the reck lessness and meudaci'y'Gf their
authors, and endeared the object Of
them still more to the democracy OF
Ohio, as a public servant tired in the
furnace; refined but not DESTROYED.
RCsvlaed, That the course of election
eering pursued by the federa! candidate
for Governor, in abusing the adnlnls-
ira,ion for expenditures of public money,
while he has not voted against a dollar
Of the alleged extravsgant approprIa"
tIons; for adopting the sub treasury
when in 1885 his own votes upon the
deposiie bill, and Gamb'e's resolutions,
are decidedly favorable to that measure;
in denounclng the extent Of the oxecu'
tive patronage, when in 1885 he voled
for an amendment of the constitution TO
extend the presidential term TO six Year,;
and in declaimlng against the union Of
the purse and the sword, when IN 1879
he voted for the only measure by which
the purse and sword were unlIed under
our government in the hands Of that Of
ficer, compel US to regard him ae faith
