Prom ,he Ohio statesman, June Is.



An Attempted Dodge.
The Journal ia very much disposed to divert attention
from its position on The constitution IL Is tDe lead
ing press IN opposition 10 reform The new constitution
bound to garry Hard as The Journal has aoo'sa 70
defeat H. and thoroughly that paper has succeeded IN
organizing the hacks OF lie party against Tue new hsuu
ment, the editor is bound 10 admit the probability OF lie
adoption The Journal has published an address OF The
whg State central committee, which has given offence
10 many OF the strongest men IN ohio-such as feck,
Ceilings, Morris Bennett Prooaseo Hitchcock, Dickens
derers and so on. II is stated that OF the
members OF The committee itself are sorely angered
the address and condemn NE policy of It's issue. If mol
ils posons and that Tor this the Journal
PEELED send abroad the address without amy
iached 10 IT, IN order 10 prevent an explosion IN the
mee. II Is even said that one member OF the commit
tee residing in the central part of the State, says he
attended three meetings OF the committee. at each OF
which the address voted down and finally the
: men about the Journal called in outsiders, carried II
through The packed meeting, and attached the names OF
msmbeIs Of the committee without their special authority
10 so use their names, and contrary 10 their votes, anu
without consulting them
IL Is reasonable that neighbor should nave been
envifoned with some troubles and perplexiles on &C
count OF creating all this hard feeling IN his party De-
nounced as has been the address, py Iealn5 Wngs of
getting lis party into It's present dcuit anu osasuous
position on the question OF reform, our ne'ghoor shows
no ingenuity in attempting TO twt US WIN a want OF
confidence" Let the result on next Tuesday decide that
matter The Journal voluntarily took It's position al
TO reform and rallied the wing party TO It's support
We as freely took our position we shan see winch OF
us has forfeited most party confidence
The Journal may hope to thrust IN an issue about
things in which declare our entire unconcern for
eien 10 the reform contest to draw off attention from its
ludcrous and pitabe bunderS in this contest We tell
you that such an effort may amuse you, but We again
say ''wash our hands OF every sort OF participation
in contributing to your amusement. We know nothing
of the things talked of in the Journal in connection
with Messrs Chase and Spauding These gentlemen
reemen and we claim to belong to the class of free
men, too. We mean TO fight out this constitutional bat
tie as have begun and far carried it. We shall
make concealed attempt 10 claim all the legitimate
glory of success TO those who achieve the rumph and
hall ha Spdn N
to the lips of those who labor parsans to defeat the
pending reform. The Journal man may be very smart,
coming from the boosted land OF inventions, but shall
advise readers of the fact when he succeeds in get
ting himself and friends out of the laughable scrape in
which they are involved on this question. II is any
comfort TO them in their troubles to conure up ground
less fancies OF difficulties elsewhere, we'll among
themselves, most welcome you ALL gentlemen. to such
comfort; we shall not attempt to mar your enjoyment
BY blowing your bubble stories 10 the wnds-they
will explode enough.
Meantime trust the people will not forget shall
stand how stand on this question Of constitutional
reform Be everastinely remembered then, that the
Journal ITSELF and such of the State central committee as
il could control nOieas UoienS, by their tame
have done all the adverse labor in the premises necessary
to start up and organize whg" "party opposition"
The Journal has also stated that the swing press with
few exceptions" of the whole State condemn the new
constitution and oppose its adoption. II has also stated
that the wings OF every part OF the State urged party
position to the constitution, and deRounce "the
iniquitous instrument" This shows the position of the
Uh,g party. No need be told how the democrats
party 60 They supported, II is true, by few indie
pendent and liberal wings of influence and by the free
soiles almost in body. Notwithstanding assertion to
the contrary Of the wing secret circular from Ken,on
county, which we have published, and which the Journal
endorses The democrats do willingly accord the
highest credit to every who goes with matter
OF what partythey clam peculiarly partisan credit
not honestly thers-but they wW most assuredy see 10
1t that whatever partisan disgrace the Journal and It's
followers incur for opposing reform shall attach TO the
proper party.
This the way j, stands, far parties :
cerned We the Journal anticipates the bilteres rep
rotation. and preparing 10 dodge the blow like poor.
cowardly bungling marpot Now for some of The issues
involved We give few to-day. Tomorrow a few
