posing the Democratic larty in Ohio
to .day-fully two-thirds of said party
are made Of Irish and German Cath
olics, and they have always been 10y
al and faithful to the interests of the
party. Hence the party is under obi
cations to us, and we have perfect
right to demand of them, as a party,
inasmuch as they are in control of the
State Legislature and State govern
ment, and we by both our means and
our votes placed them where they are
to day, that they should as party re-
dress our grievances"

there by the American people, of the
partisan and sectional hatred in which
the amendment was engendered and
had its BIRTH

ter, on the political issues of the day.
He thinks that the Southern question,

results of the war. Vice President
Wilson has also written aletter, in
which he defends himself against the
imputation of having made. his recent
journey in order to advance his inter-
ests for the Presidency.
