TloN AND ITS DECISIONS. i
The sketch OF the proceedings of thi.
OOdy' which we gave on the evening Of
the sih and 9th, has been disputed and its
fidelity called in question by Jev presses

can be easily decided.
It's fact, too notorious To be denied
that the voice Of the great BODY of the
democratic voters Of Ohio, through thelr
delegates, was not heard or regarded, IN
