THE confinement of the conspiracy con-

This would be perfectly in character with
the whole proceeding. The men, being
sentenced by an illegal tribunal, can only
be kept in imprisonment by putting them
beyond the reach of the Courts. 1t is thus
that the law is defed and trampled upon by
those who are charged with its execution

darker shade to the matter. He says: III I

Gen. Cox and lhe Soldiers.

We publish to-day letter from Ohio SOL
diers addressed to Gen. Cox, asking his
views on the all-important question of Ne
gro Suffrage. Although his position is well
understood to be in favor of destroying our
present system OF Government by taking
the elective franchise from white men and
leenferrihg it upon ignorant and incapable
negroes, in nearly half the States of the
Union, and giving them equal privileges in
all the rest-still we think that he will not
dare to answer the letter addressed to him.
His refusal to answer it is an admission that
he cannot do so without committing him
self in favor. of the disgusting MEASURE
We believe that any man running on the
distinctive issue of Negro Equality in Ohio,
will be defeated by fifty thousand vOtes.-

EDLroRS ONO. SrArESMAN:


AS the name of our fellow-citizen, Adm
G. Hibbs, will be presented to the Demo-
cratic County Convention for nomination
as one of the Representatives for Franklin
county In the General Assembly, may l ask
of you the favor to publish the following
brief biographical sketch, published by
Abram Stagg, in his book, of sketches OF
members of the late Legislature? To what
has been published, the people, all who
know Mr.. Hibbs, would add their knowl-
edge of his industry and perseverance,
Few men have added more to the improve
ments of our city and county than Adm g.
Hibbs. AS a Representative, no man could
attend more strictlyt to the business entrust-
ed to his care; his watchfulness of the in
terests of his constituents was q subject OF
remark from his fellow members, and he
commanded the respect and confidence
of all: "A } ". ..tE ...A
Adm G. Hibbs, from Franklin county, Is
farmer. He was born ON the 23d of May,
1901, in the village of Falsington, Bucks
county, Pennsylvania. When eleven years
of age, he was under the necessity of work
ing for his living. At the age of fourteen
he commenced learning the chair. making
and spinning-wheel making business with
Thomas M. Morris, with whom he served
seven years of apprenticeship, and attend
ed school during the time about nine
months. -i4' 3'I'@ ~ l'1I
He was united in marriage to Miss Per-
melia Shade, of Bucks county, Pehnsylva-
MIA, in October, 1924. She still lives to en-
joy the competency acquired by their own
industry i = f'fIJs I'nB 'i4Ut 4'ildlV'
2 In May, 1881, he settled in Columbus,
Ohio, with thousand dollars to commence
life with in their new home, where he en-
gagged in the chair and furniture making
business; in this business he continued
nine years. From 1910 to 1858, he was en-
gagged in milling, merchandising and hotel
keeping business. For the last seven years
he has been engaged in farming, which has
been the most lucrative to him and the hap
piest days of his life. '.
Mr.. Hibbs served eight years in the City
Council of Columbus; he was one of the
Trustees of the Central Ohio Lunatic Asy-
lum for eight successive years. He was a
member of the Board of Equalization, in
the fall of 1864. He was elected to the
House to fill the vacancy caused by the res
ignation OF Hon. Otto DreseL of Franklin
county. 'H"'e',u' 'Hl
70 In lS41, he built the Cottage Mills, nine
miles south of Columbus at the village of
Shadeville, which he laid out in 1862, and
named after his beloved wife. a'.f
He cast his first Presidential vote for An
drew Jackson in 1924, and his last for Geo.
b. Mcclellan. t1. I-'i
He commenced life without means, but
has acquired liberal competency of world
ly goods by his industry and economy.

what OberIin Demands for Ohio.

Oberlin, now that JOSHUA II. GIDDINGs Is
dead, is the expounder of the faith of, and
the law-giver to-, the Abolition party.
JOHN NJ. LANGsToN the Oberlinite having
d a ''visible admixture of African blood"
now discharges the duties that old JOSHUA
was wont to exercise. He interrogates the
candidates, and tells them what the faith of
g the Abolition party is. Heurged the nom
ination of j. DoLsoN Cox for Governor, and
he has not found it necessary to question
J.iDoLsoN Cox as to what his views on the
subject of Negro Suffrage are. LANGsToN
knows that j. DoLsoN Cox, who, doubtless,
fellowshipped with LANGsTON when he was
prosecuting his studies in the 0berlin Col
lege, is in favor of the elevation of the Ne
groes to an equality with the Whites; but
LANGsToN is not exactly satisfied with Mr..
WARNER, who is running on the 0berlin
State Ticket for Treasurer of State, and so
he has propounded to him certain interrog-
atories that relate specially to the welfare of
the Negro. dsp 1'"fa. 'o ..Hp5 d.
i, We digress, however. Our intention in
this article is merely to state what Oberlin
demands--and what LANGsToN demands
Oberlin demands. Oberlin demands that
the members elected to the Ohio .Legisla-
ture-to the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives--shall be men who are in favor
of striking from the Democratic Constitu-
tion Of Ohio the word AWhite," SO that Ne
groes can vote and hold Office. If the Aboli-.
tionists shall succeed In electing j. DoLsoN
Cox Governor, and majority to the next
Legislature, the word "White" will be
stricken from the Constitution; and do you
think if this amendment shah prevail,
that LANGsToN will not be elected TO the
Legislature from Oberlin !? n He stands in
the forefront of the leaders in that county,
and there is nothing to prevent his election.
If for no other reason, he win be elected to
teach the Negroes in Southern Ohio to in
sist on being represented by men Of their
own color in the councils of the State. I

{" Trying to Prejudice the Soldiers
AGaimst the NegrOea.,,


The Jackson Standard, a journal that The
State Jo,uual recently honored with acom-
plimentary Endorsement says "The Cop
perheads are still battling away at the
Nigger' and trying to prejudice the SOL
diers against the Negroes" VIZ ~ 9
This is mistake. 1t is the Oberlinites
who "are still battling away at the Mig
GER" They have just held Mass Meet
ing at which it was unanimously resolved
that the word "White F" must be stricken
from the Constitution and Members and
Senators elected to the Legislature who are
in favor of such amendment and they have
O. also issued an address declaring that the
Negro must vote, and that President JOHN
SONS reorganization policy is an error.7-
"a Member of the Union State Central
Committee had communication publish
ed lately in The Cincinnati Commercial, the
object of which was to prove that the Ne
groes are not fit subjects on, which to con-
fer the privilege of suffrage, and for hav7
ing done so, The State Journal dealt out to
him severe censure, for attempting, as ital-
legged, to distract the party. -To4 tf,i
: Now, If the Democrats were to assert
that General Cox and his supporters are
opposed to Negro Suffrage and to making
the Negroes the political equals of the
White men, they might justly be accused Of
attempting to prejudice the soldiers
against the Negroes; but they don't do this;
they represent Gen. Cox's position and the
position OF his supporters correctly. The
Jackson Standard asserts that when the
"Copperheads" were conspiring to chop the
country into mince-meat and hand it over
to the Devil for desert, the Negroes sprang
to the rescue and saved the country. Don't
the soldiers know this? Iti not necessary
to be continually telling the soldiers that,
had it not been for the negroes, the Rebel
lion would not have been put down. Tobe
sure there are few of them who know that
had itnot been for the Negro there would
have been no Rebellion to put down. 1t is
nonsense TO suppose that the soldiers can be
prejudiced against their best friends and
most powerful allies, as the Abolitionists
are in the habit of speaking of the Negroes.
OF course the soldiers will vote to give to
the Negroes all the privileges the Aboli-
tionists may ask for Them and we are sim
ply doing them an essential service ih tell
ing them from time to time what the de-
mands are. i"at Oh. ..i 2Aa I
