THE SESSION OF CONGRESS

gaining favor in The eyes OF Congress
for several days past; and there is
reason to believe hat if the question

changed in l~isfaVor from the state of the

THE BEGINNING OF TIE FRAUD
-LOCOFOCO APPORTION.
MENT In 1896.

The State OF Ohio is now convulsed at
the fraud lately attempted upon her by
the Tin Pan Legislature, Well she
may be. But enormous as is this at
tack upon u rights, upon the sacred
principle Of equal representation, it is
nothing new in the history of the Lo
cocoloco party in Ohio 1t began in
1886, and has been continued at every
opportunity Till 1912, when it came to
that point Of enormity which would have
justified a revolution, If no other means
we're available, to put an end to it, We
can show that 10 the winter Of 1885 g.,
when the Van Buren, party had e ma,

Now, MIR. Editor, if my friend Loring of the
