The Committee Oh Resolutions then
reported the following Iabored effort
which WAS adopted unanimously:
| ResoIced. BY the Democracy of Han

resolutions adopted by tie State Con-
ventiou assembled in Columbus on the

Il Sas then announced that nomina-

the written pledges of the different can
didates would be received.

A pr previously arrHnged pro
granin., no doubt, Frank Elgington,
vino appeared to figure as master of
ceremonies, called upon the Orange
| township statesman to give an account
of his stewardship, and especially that
part of it relating to his vote on the
Wood County Enabling Act. ''McKin-
ley" =" Mckinley" was the cry from all
parts of the house, and soon the huge
form OF that redoubtablc champion Of
pure unduIterated Democracy made its
appearance from some recess in the yes
tibule where he had, doubtless, been
kept by his hackers, awaiting the NOV
ing of the Democratic waters. IL is
simply impossible to do justice to such n
speech. For bad logic and worse gram
In"r we certainly never heard it surpass-
ed. He asserted that the first winter in
the Legislature lie had opposed the pas
sage of the Wood County Enabling Act.
The Perrysburg people had persistently
kept it before the Legislature, and it
WAS costing the taxpayers so much that
in order to save expense he had turned
around and voted for it. 1t was a very
clumsily-devised story, and would have
deceived no one cOnversant with the
facts in the case; but it fell on willing
ears. When lie fervently protested his
honesty, which he called upon his
Maker to witness, and his Democra-
cy, Sheets stock declined and the states
man from Orange retrieved his lost
ground-the ''unwashed" heart was
touched and they event it blind"
