THE GEGHAN Id W INDORSED BY
THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
OF HAMILTON COUNTY.

The only political Convention of any
political party in Ohio which has thought
the Geghan law of sufficient prominence
to notice, was the Republican Conven-
ton of Hamilton county, which county
elects one-tenth of the members of the
Ohio Legislature. This Republican
Convention was held last week, and in
effect endorses tie GGgAan lac.
The resolution offered demanded the
repeal of the measure and denounced
it also. A motion to lay upon the table
prevailed and thus ended the hue and
cry about the so-called Geghan bill with
the Hamilton County Republican Con-
vention.
Will the Re8o@tOry stick a pin there /:
Will their orators name it Will they
also state that old Massachusetts and

truth and nothing but the truth, about it,
