Rfsoirtd That we, the democratic party of old
Morgan, feel spirit Of joy turning around Us. since
the recent overthrow Of aar cider, smashing Of old
gourds and sknniag of the iast coon OF I-lOsn the
old Buckeye State, where we thought whIrrery
was so deeply rooted, that 1t would be Impossible
to break into their ranks. at least for many years
But by smile Of the Advise, the good sense of
the people and the power Of democracy, they have
been blown to tho four winds of the world-not on
ly there but in almost every State in the Union.

posed to the best interests OF the states and SUB

ence over the statesmen Of oar county. That il
would exercise an unbeuudeI influence over all
