The Fifteenth Amendemnt

Some soreheaded disappointed
office seekers in Cincinnati last fall,
boltcd the regular Republican ticket
and went over to the Johny Rebs,
and organized Copper head ticket
under the specious yeneering u
=" Citizens Reform Ticket.
We now find these same ''Reior-
mcrs" to man, like their fellow seal
lawags in the Illinois Constitutional
Convention, (who were elected from
the city Of Chicago under similar
thimblcrig arrangement, voting with
the Copps, and at present, with the
recent death of a Republican Senator,
it looks as il Ohio would fail to give
her assent to the 10Th Amendment,
at least by this legislature now in
session.
One Lewis d. Campbell, whose
little greatness, whatever he ever had,
has been pomicanned, desslcated and
hermetieally sealed up for many
years, managed to slip into the Ohio
Senate from Butler County, by that
transparent fraud yclept Citizens
Reform Ticket" and now pros
poses to deefat the will Of
he people of Ohio, (who elected
Hays and this legislature on the 18th
amendment issue direct,) by submit
ting the said amendment over again
to tho people at some future time.
And all this craftsmanship comes
from a State where its leading jour-
nal editorially and correspondential-
ly is tearing its little small under gar
ments, for fear Iowa will not elect
Senator satisfactory to Ohio Repub
licans.
In New York q resolution has been
introduced recalling the assent of the
Legislature heretofore given, to the
18th Amendment, and which resolu-
ton has passed both houses by par.
ty vote.
So it will be observed that between
the treachery and stupidity Of SO.
called Republicans, and the pure Gus
sedness and innate depravity of so
called dem 3crats, the fate of tho 18th
Amendment is not yet beyond the do
mains Of the probematical.
