1T strikes as that more scandaously partizan
and unjust Appointment has not often been de-
vised. Single Districts, the only effective RENE
dy for such wrongs as the crushing of the ten
thousand Wings of Cincinnati under the Loco
Foco majority in the outlying districts, was de-
feated by close vote
The Judicial Apportionment would not inter-
est many of our readers.

cense to sell Intoxicating Liquou-Yes' or "No'

following shall stand as sec Of Art. Ky. OF the
New Constitution
mo license TO traffic 10 intoxicating liquors shall here's
Aher be grsLleo In this State but The General ASSEMBLY
may by law provide against evils arising Ihereifom"
We trust the friends of Temperance will take
care that the Noes largely preponderate on this
question.
We have thus made full and careful synop'
sis Of the proposed New Constitution of Ohio. 1t
is grossly wrong in some points, especially the
denial Of the Right Of Suffrage TO the class most
oppressed and in need Of all the prote elton and
support which the Right of Voting would secure
them and it is shamefully unjust and unrepubli'
can in denying TO political minorites in the larger
Counties the chance Of representation in the
Legislature which perfect APPortionment Of tue
State into single Senate and Assembly Districts
would inaure them. Yet, on the whole, We do
not see that rejecting the Constitution would
right these wrongs, while j. would crush some
sslOtsry provisions embodied in the instrument
Law Reform, Liquor Reform and an Elective Ju-
