The Democratic State Convention
met in Columbus, Ohio, On Wednesday,
July tit, and after nominating an
excellent man and soldier ms their
candidate for Governor, adopted q
series of resolutions, some wise and
some otherwise; among the latter were
the following:
Resolped, That the exemption from tax OF
over s., 500, 000, 900 Government bonds and
securities, is unjust to the people, and ought
not to be tolerated ; and that we are opposed
to any appropriation for the payment oil the
interest on the public bonds until they are
made subject to taxation.
Resolred, That the claims OF the bono.
holders, that the bonds which were ought
with greenbacks, and the principal OF which
il BY law payable in currency, should, never
theiess, be paid in gold, is unjust and eator.
tomato, and II persisted IN WIN ,n ~ sann.
force upon the people the question OF repu-
diation.
The gentlemen who drafted and
unanimously adopted the above res
olutions, rs the primary text OF their
political creed, were, at the time Of
doing so, very probably not aware that
in November, of 1868, there was an
election held in tho State of Ohio to
determine, rs far ms the influence of
that State would permit, whether or
not the bonds Of the United States
should be either or both merely taxed
or repudiated out and out. In fact, TO
decide whether or not the above res
olutious should govern the people OF
Ohio, for they are identical with those
drafted for the November election OF
1868, by Ohio's "~favorite son." Mr..
| George H. Peudleton. To be sure,
| there were other issues in that contest,
but they were merely of II personal
| nature, involving the settlement OF the
| question whether Grant or Seymour
should be President of the United
| States, but the real issue was that oil
reputation. We need scarcely remind
our readers that the matter was very
emphatically settled at the polls, on
| that November day, and the result was
in favor Of paying to the las. cen. the
principal and interest OF our national
debt. In fact, the honest yeomanry OF
Ohio gave a majority of over 10000
votes against national dishonor, other
wise called taxation and reputation OF
the Government bonds.
OF course, the Columbus Convention
of Wednesday, were ignorant OF this
fact; and that they should try to resur-
rect so very dead an issue as that OF
reputation, in the State of Ohio, only
shows that they are ignorant that Grant
is President, and that his Secretary oil
the Treasury ia paying Oft tho debt at
the rate of sixteen millions a month.
It also shows that Rip Van Wrinkle was
not the only man who, while sleeping,
let the changes Of time slip BY him
unuoticed, and the waking Of the
Columbus C%onventionists On the second
Tuesday Of October next will be not
unlike that of their CntSkill prototype
on his return to the village Of Falling
Waters. He inquired for Jacob Stein,
and was informed that he was dead,
"Jacob Stein dead?" aud buried
was the reply. Reputation in Ohio
died and was buried in November, 1868,
along with Seymour and the Blairs, and
it is rs surely dead to-day MS is Jacob
Stein, the %hypotheeal hero Of the Hud'
son. No doubt the repudiating Dem.
ocracy of the Buckeye State will next
inquire, MS did Rip Van Wrinkle,
