GovERNoR OF OHIo.-As Governor
Barley has been out Of the State a few
days on business, The wIIig papers are
oonlendine that The office of Governor
il vacant, and that John M. Gallagher,
Speaker Of the House Of Representatives,
is entitled to the Office; and they quote
the following sentence from the consti-
tuition Of Ohio 10 sustain their position.
ain case Of The impeachment of the
Speaker OF the Senate or his death, re-
movsl from office, resignation orlsbsence
from the State, the Speaker ofthe House
OF Representatives shall succeed to The
Office and exercise the duties thereof,
until a Governor shall be elected and
qualified"
Who hut an unptinciP led partizln wo'd
contend that this provision was intended
10 prohibit the Governor from stepping
out OF tho limits Of the Siatea or that il
required him 10 resign his Office, II cir
cnmsiPLceS required his absence from
the State a week OF tWog If the whole
section Of The constitution had been quo.
ted, instead Of part only, its meaning
would have been understood. But to
give a fair understanding Of The prOvis-
ion Of The constitution on the subject,was
contrary TO the object Of the originatOrs
Of this new idea. The following Is the
section in full
ssSec. IL. In case Of the death, i'm
peachment, resignation or removal ofthe
Goysnor from Office, the Speaker Of the
Senate shall exercise The Office of
Governor. until he be acquittsd,Or anOlh.
or Governor shall be duly qualified. ln
case Of the impeachment Of the Speaker
Of the Senate, or his death, or removal
from Office, resignation or absence from
the State, The Speaker Of the House of
Representatives shall succeed to the Of
fice, and exercise the duties thereof, un-
i'll a Governor shall be elected and quali6s
ed.''
The latter part Of this section is evi-
dently meant 10 provide for filling the Of
Gee in case the Speaker Of the Senate
should be absent from the State at the
time the Oificesls vacated BY the elected
Governor. Mr.. Barley, Speaker of the
Senate was in the State when GOv.Shan
non resigned, aud he succeeded to the
Office, as The constitution provides, and
no one can reasonably contend that he is
not as free 10 go and como (as cirCum-
stances may requirel as if be had been
elected to the Office. There is no PrO>
vision Of the constitution prohibiting the
Governor from going out Of the State; 6s
Mr.. Barley is as fully GovernOh TO all
inlents and purposes, as ifhe had been
elected by the people. He caunOt there

RENuNOIATIONs.

We might fill many columns Of
our paper with TeDunciaiions like the
following, which are almost daily brought
10 US in our exchange papers from diff
ferent parts Of The State; but we only
occasionally copy one or two IS speci.
mems. They show plainly which way
the ball is rolling. There are thousands
of honest voters in the country who we're
deceived in 1910 BY the cOncealment Of
federal principles, and lursd by fail
promises to vote The whig tickeI,a and who
have since that time discovered which
party are their enemies in disguise, and
which are their real friends, and they are
now reDouncing and dsnouncing federal
whiggery, and fIOcking TO the support Of
the Democratic cause.
PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY!
At a meeting Of the Hickory Club at
New Market, on Saturday last, Speech
was made by Mr., JACOB TENOR, who in.
formed the Club that he supported Gen.
Harrison and Wing principles in 1910;
but as the Wing party had utterly failed
TO fulfil their promises, and as time had
proven their charges against the Demo.
cracy false, he could no longer place con.
ideDce in them; and from this time for
: ward he should give his hearty support
TO Democratic men and measures. Mr..
TENOR went on TO show the unscrupu-
lOus means adopted by The Wing party to
obtain power, and how thousands like
btmself were deceived, but the sober Sec
ond thought" would show them all to BIZ
right again. He showed the principles
Of The Wing party as now put forth to be
a"medley ot contradictions. His speech
3 gave evidence that he had resd, thought
and investigated for himself, course
which we would fain see adopted by all
men of all parties, as in that case thous.
, ands who are honestly deceived into the
support of Federalism would follow his
example and "cOms out from amongst the
foul party"
1t is but few weeks, it will be re.
membered, since Mr.. A. Nj. ST. CLAIR
