conversation with the Hon. L. D. Campbell
which we lind fully reported In both the
Cincinnati Commercial and the Cincinnati
Enquirer, Mr.. Maginnis said the Montgom.
| cry county resolutions went too far and In
the wrong direction. He understood the
object of the new departure" to be an
effort by proper concessions to secure those
members Of the Republican party dissatisfied
with the Administration upon Its protective
tariff policy. He said that those members
Of the Republican party were with '.us" on
the subject Of the revenue tariff and ultimate
Free Trade, and should bc candidly and
and fairly advised as to the position now
held by the Democratic party In reference
To the past issues. The objection by Mr..
Maginnis to the Montgomery resolution
was that it accepted a. tinality the ll1th,
XlVth and XVIII Amendments. He de.
clared that tho Democracy could in no event
commit themselves to the support Of those
amendments. as in his judgment they never
had any validity; that these amendments
were forced upon the people of the defeated
States AZ condition precedent to their re-
admission To representation in Congress,
and that the XVIII Amendment was not .
fair expression of the wishes Of the people
Of the United States.
Mr.. Campbell agreed with Mr.. Maginnis
