After some corrections had been
made, Gen. Ward, of Warren, moved
to amend the report by inserting Su-
f preme Judge first. He urged it on
the ground of propriety.
fl Mr.. Reemelin, of Cincinnati, claim
ed that the Secretary of State had
: precedence, under our form of gov
ernment, over all other officers save
: Governor and Lieutenant Governor.
Mr.. Mungen supported this view,
: and urged that in all governments the
Secretary of State came next to the
f chief of State.
Mr.. Ward opposed these views and
f contended that in our State the Secre-
tary of State was merely clerk, and
J. in no sense represented the dignity OF
f the State of Ohio. At this time
above all others, the judiciary should
: receive high consideration from the
Democratic party, in whose hands the
: destinies of the country were deposit.
