My Dear Sir: have just read the resolu-
tons of the Montgomery county (Ohio) Dem
ocratic Convention, reported by yourself to-
gether with your remarks and those of Mr..
Hank. You have rendered great service to
your country and the party-at least such is
my judgment. May God bless you for it.
Nothing can be truer than your declaration
that the movement contemplated by the reso-
buttons is the restoration of the democratic
party to its ancient platform of progress and
reform. l know you too we'll to doubt your
courage or your fidelity to your convictions.
Very truly yours,

that the democratic candidate, General Nc
Cook, was not rightfully nominated in the
State convention, but received less votes
on the ballot than General Ewing, would
