Sd. That while we will always cherish
and defend the American system of local
and municipal self-governments. for local
purposes. and a National Government for
national purposes; and while we are unal-

stitute our great national boon, which local
or State organizations must not be allowed
to abridge or take away. Ha.
4th. That, imbued with the spirit of true
democracy, and believing that the powers
necessary for the purpose of attaining the

vested in the whole people without unjust
or odious distinctions or qualifications not
equally attainable by all; and further be-
lieviDg that these sentiments are in strict
accordance with the spirit and tendency OF
modern civilization. we place ourselves on
the simple and broad platform of impartial
manhood suffrage as embodied in the pro-
posed amendment to the State Constitution,
appealing to and confiding in the intelli-
gence of the people of Ohio to approve it
at the ballot-box.

debt of gratitude to the brave soldiers and
sailors who. in the late struggle for oul
