At a meeting of the Democratic State Cen
tral Committee held in Columbus, on the 9Th
day Of July, 1861, it was
Resolped, That II 10 expedient to hold Demo
cratic State Convention at Columbus, on
Wednesday, August 7th, 1891,
10 nominate q Democratic State Ticket, to be
supported at the October election.
Resolvsd, further, That all the electors OF the
State of Ohio, who are in favor Of perpetuating
the principles upon which our Union was found
ed, and are convinced that the present State
and National Administrations are wholly in
competent to manage the government in lite
present critical condition. as well as all who are
opposed to the gross extravaganza and corrup-
tion now 30 alarmingly prevalent IN public az
fairs, be earnestly invited to unite with the
Democracy in this hour Of our country's peril,
and thus redeem the State, and place Its ad-
ministration in competent hands. f.lc~
Res0lped, further, that the basis OF represen-
tation In said Convention be one delegate for
every 500 votes, and an additional delegate Tor
fraction of $50 and upwards, cast for THOMAS
j. S. SMITH, for Supreme Judge ct the October
election in 1860, and that IL be recommended
that the counties elect their delegates on this
basis. ..tl1s7l 81 rsf
The Democracy Of Ohio and all other con-
ervative Union men, who are willing to cooper
ate with them on the above basis, are requested
to meet in their respective counties at such time
as the local committees may designate, and ap
point delegates to the Democratic Convention
On the 7th of August, to nominate State
ticket to be supported at the October election
Il Is presumed that no lover OF bis country
will require prompting at this time to induce
him to discharge his duty, and therefore The
Committee is impressed with the belief that the
counties will eagerly respond to this call. and
that an imposing Convention will assemble in
Columbus at the time designated above, and
put in nomination ticket of good and true
men, to be supported for the various State of
