Ohio in Favor OF Negro suf-
aE0ge. - ~ ..H-
Some Of the members Of the so-called
Union party of Ohio, deny in the most en-
phatic manner, that that party is in favor of
universal Negro Suffrage. To all such we
commend to their careful perusal the fol.
lowing article from the Cleveland Leader, a
paper edited and published by the Post
master of Cleveland, and also the extracts
contained in the article from various other
Republican papers in Ohio All men in
Ohio who are in favor of negroes being pla-
ced upon an equal political equality with
white people will vote for the ticket supper
tel by these papers. All who are opposed
TO The doctrine of negro political equality
vil vote for the ticket to be nominated on
tls cath of next August. There is only
one way to decide the question, and that is
{ by voting in favor of negro suffrage or by
vo;;ng against it. A mans vote tells polit-
cal opinions, all assertions, reservations or
hesitations to the contrary notwithstand-

EQUAL SuFFRAaE--THE UNION Press
OF O41o ON THE SUBJECT. We append
some extracts from the Union papers of
the, State on the question of equal suffrage
1T will be seen that the press of the State
arc taking high and nanful position on
the subject:
From the Sandusky Register.
The question must be met, and it is idle
t. talk of giving suffrage to the negro in
the random way in which sentiment upon
that subject has heretofore been declared. =
That the State Convention of Ohio should
Ignore 1t, IS no reason in our mind that it
should not be discussed and while we ac-
qulesce in the opinions and the counsel Of
that body, the same time We believe a large
majority Of tho electors of the State are in
favor of meeting the question of negro suf.
Trage now. Its necessity will never be more
. apparent. The question must be met, and
there must be definite and practical shape
gwen to the issue upon it. 4; ,rra. -
From the Cleyeland Herald. g
: The Convention shonld have recognized
the right of negro suffrage as principle. -
1t need not have dictated the terms on
which it should be granted it need not have
declared for universal negro suffrage. but it
. might have been little more explicit than
an.arn's end reference to the Declaration Of
Independence, h5.: agv-- .'@
' From the Warren Chronicle. 80
No doubt the Convention was unprepar-
cl,for as7u;ni ng positive ground on the ne
= Rrosutfrqge question. We are satisfied that
tho principle will yet prevail, when the pop
uiar sentiment has been more thoroughly
enlightened and educated in the justice and
advantage of the measure. To that end
the librral-mnded, the progressive and
phllanthroplc will continue to labor, con
fdcnt OF the ultimate victory Of the right.
From the Painsville Telegraph.
The resolutions adopted by the Conven-
ton are we'll enoughias far as they CO. But
Why did the Union State Convention ig-
nore the vital issue Of the day-the question
of negro suffrage?
L.a From the Mahoning Register.
vs. IF any man who was u legal voter FIVE
years ago in Virginia or North Carolina
votes to day, it is because the National Gov
enment thinks it cxpedient to allow him to
DO SO. Ii it should see fit to enfianchise
g'others; 1T cannot he denied that it has the
same right to do So u What then is meant
il by saying that the question of suffrage naust
o-he settled by the States. What States?-
Whatever the theorylof may be. there are
Practically no States, until the Government
.lc creates them. And how can State
ieregulate the suffrage until the United States
has stated who the voters shall be, in order
,rhat the State may re-organze itself. In
the present situation there can be States at
the South except by direct authority of
tie Union and the Government has the
game right to give the blacks thu right
