DEMOCRATIC STATECEE,L CoMNIT-(
TEE RooAIs, COLUMBUS, june 5.
To the Democracy Of Ohio:
At a meeting of the State Central
Committee of Ohio, held this day, the
following resolutions were adopted :
Resolred, That a Delegate ConVen-
tion of the Democracy of Ohio be
held in the city of Columbus, on
Wednesday, August &c, 1874,
at eleven O'Clock, a. M, for the pur-
pose of nominating
A Secretary of State.
A Commissioner of Common Schools,
"A Judge of the Supreme Court,
A Member of Board of Public Works.
A Clerk of the Supreme Court,
and of transacting such other business
as may come before it.
ResoZCed, that the basis of repre-
sentation In said Convention be as
follows: That each county in the
State be entitled to one delegate for
every five hundred votes cast Tor Lion.
William Allen for Governor, at the
election held last October, and an ad-
ditional delegate for every fraction OF
two hundred and fifty votes or over
so cast.
Under the above basis of appor-
tionment Portage County will be en-
titled to four deIegates.l
The importance of this Convention
can not be oVerestimated. 1t is, there
fore, hoped that every county in the
State viii be represented By full
delegation of its best men.
The usual arrangements for carry
ing persons attending the Convention
over the railroads running intoColum-
bus win be made, and announced in
due time. A. T. WALLING,

The second Congressional DlstrIot.

If the Democracy of the Second
District want to be represented in the
next Congress by a popular young
Democrat, Hon. Leonard w. Goss
should not be forgotten in the Con-
vention In a recent conversation
with citizen of Hamilton county on
the political situation, he assured us
that Mr.. Goss was the best and strong
est man the Democracy could run for
Congress in the Second District. He
is man of excellent reputation, pos
sessed of rare abilities, an unswerving
Democrat, and was Vice President Of
the Convention that nominated Hon,
VIM. Allen for Governor last fall. In
that campaign he was elected County
Solicitor by nearly eleven thousand
majority. He is now serving his third
term as President of the Cincinnati
Board of Education. He is strong in
the. German wards, and no better
could be made to insure a
rousing Democratic triumph in his
District Warren Constitution.
Mr.. G. is brother of Goss Bros, of
this county, and from a
brief personal acquaintance with him
we most heartily endorse he foregoing
suggestion.

They Have Tried 1t.

Prohibition has had fair trial in
Massachusetts, and it has failed. The
Boston Transcript, strong advocate
of temperance, thus sums up the ver-
dict of he people of that State:
They believe the prohibitory enact
ments a pretense and a fraud, result
ing, of inherent necessity, in measures
which weaken the power of all law,
engender Tapestries and sneaks, sub
vert the principles of temperance, and
Institute system of espoignage over
and arbitrary interference with pri-
vale rights, intolerabIe among free
people. It leads 10 official corruption
and increases rather than diminishes
the amount of drunkenness in the

II is interesting to hear Radical Or
ators assuring their followers that the
Democratic party is dead. AS Gov
ernor Hendricks says: s'It establishes
ones genius for originality. 1t has
not been repeated more than one
million times, and each time the fol-
lowers laugh and cheer. They are so
glad the Democracy is dead. They
wish it but feel that it is not SO. The
laugh and cheer are hollow and with
out joy. If they were sure of it, they
would say kind and generous things
of so great and powerful an organ
ization. 1t is not brave or noble to
strike even dead lion. But few
years since they boasted that the DEM
ocrats had no Governor in all the
Northers States, and but few in the
South but now there are Democratic
Governors in New Hampshire, Con-
necticut, Delaware, Maryland. Ohio,
Indiana, Wisconsin, Oregon, Kentucky
Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia
and Texas. Arkansas may now be
added to the list of Democratic States,
for the bands thas corrupted the ballot
box are broken ard scattered. Or
ganizations may be broken and pass
away, but Democracy cannot die. 1t
is endowed with the Immortality OF
truth and right. Wherever, in all
lands, men aspire 10 higher, freer, bet
ter governments, and purer liberty
wherever there is the sentiment thai
government is made for man, and not
man for government, there is the
spirit of Democracy that win endure
and yet achieve mans enfranGhise-
ment and elevation. aa

The official returns Of the vote in
Arkansas for the constitutional Con-
vention stands: For, s0,259; against
8,607. OF the Delegates elected the
Democrats and conservatives have
over seventy of the ninety-one. Still,
some of the Radicals are talking about
foreibly dispensing the Convention
and resisting its action, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the people of that
State are to-day living under a Con-
stitution which never received their
approval, but was forced upon them
by bayonet rule.

OF the previous meeting, the Treasurer reported

Mr.. Kelly then spoke, stating that at recent
meeting OF the State Executive Committee held
at Saratoga they had called the Democratic State
Convention to convene at Syracuse on the 18TH OF
this month, and that each Assembly district was
authorized to send three delegates to the said
Convention. He desired to call the attention OF
the committee to the action OF the State Copven-

out OF the hands Of the General Committee to call
the primaries, and that II was now to be done by
the districts. In view OF this TACT he hoped that
each district, or its represent would the
