Convention, and that this statement may
appear in contradistinction to the GoV-
ernor' 8 statement. I tell the same Sen
| ator here, that the people are not de-
manding a Convention. Partisan ciamoI
and partisan passion should be allowed
to die away, before a Convention should
be thought OF, if, indeed, it should be
considered at all. This is no time 70
talk about such expensive Injuries 10

to. Let this body rise above party ap-
| peals, and party Legislation, and iegls,
late for the people. If0hio county has
more paid township officers than she
wants, let her apply the less expensive
remedy which is her privilege. Mr.,
President let the Governors report be
committed. a. .,... ..-..s. ..rr.. =.
