A SCENE IN THE OHIO LEGISLATURE

The Ohio State Journal give the following
report of a scene that occurred in the Ohio
Legislature at the time the Speaker announced
that Ford was elected Governor;
While this announcement was being made
which was done in the midst Of a tremendous
tumult on the left side Of the Hall.

house on their feet, and aiding in the uproar
and the gestures, attitudes, EXPLANATIONS ant
CALCULATIONS Of the parties, made a picture
which can only be conveyed BY the skillfu

During this scene, and while Messers. Whit

There's Room Enough for All.

What need Of all this fuss and strife,
Each warning with his brother?
Why should we, in the crowd Of life,
Keep trampling down each other?
Is there no goal that can be won,
Without a squeeze to gain it?
No other way Of getting on,
But scrambling TO obtain il?
Oh, fellow-men, hear wisdom, then,
In friendly warning call
"Your claims divide, the world is wide
There's room enough for allm
Whatif the swarthy peasant find
No fields for honest labor,
He need not idly stop behind,
To thrust aside his neighbor.
There is land with sunny skies,
a. Which gold Tor toll is giving,
Where every brawny hand that tries
Its strength can grasp a living.
Oh, fcllow-men, remember, then.
Whatever chance befall,
The world is wide-where those abide,
There's room enough for all!
From poisoned air yo breathe in courts,
And typhus tainted alleys,
Go forsh and dwell where health resorts,
In fertile hills and valleys,
Where every arm that clears a bough
Finds plenty in attendance,
And every furrow of the plough
A step 10 independence,
Oh, hasten, then, from fcvered den,
And looking cramped and smalli
The world is wide--in land beside
There's room enough for all!
In this fair region far away,
Will labor find employment
A fair days work, a fair days pay,
And toll will earn enjoyment.
What need, then, of this daily strife,
Where each wars with his brother?
Why need we, through the crowd Of life,
Keep trampling down each other?
From rags and crime that distant cline
Will free the Pauper's thrall;
Take fortunes tide--the world so wide
Has room enough for all!
