very few delegates FROM other parts Of the
tshafe. Intact. the; only other cities actually
repfesented were Cleveland and Xenia,
and there were only two delegates from
Xcnia, and only one from Cleveland.
It was therefore almost entirely Gin
einnati, affair." and Tthe ticket was almost
entirely d Cincinnati ticket. Colonel L..

Colonel Bond ia weII-known but not
very prominent young lawyer Of this city.
He once occupied the position OF assistant
United States district attorney here. d..
Mr.. Clark, for school commissioner, is the
best-knownf man on the ticket. He Is 4
mulatto, well educated, smart talker, and
rather progressive thinker. He has for
many wears been identified with the educa-
tional interests Of this city in the capacity
of superintendent OF the public schools In
the colored department. A few years ago
he was nominated for the Legislature by the
Republicans and terribly beaten, while the
others on the ticket were elected. This
Ifresult excited the ire of the colored people
greatly, and really drove Mr. Clark away
from the party. His speeches in the pres
ence of large gatherings here during the
recent strike excited the indignation Of the
law-and-order class OF people. who were
surprised that he should take the stand be

public disorder, we accord to our oppO-
ncnts the same protection for their utter
ances that we demand for ourselves, and
ask the people OF Ohio. at the coming elec.
