Never before have the state elections in
The first year of n now presidential term
turned upon issues 81 such novelty. such
magnitude. and such vital Importance as
those which arc to be decided at the polls I'm

with proprcty which seems almost
proyidcntial, the keynote Of the autumn
elections in all the States is pitched in ohio.
the State which furnished the country with
the Fraudulent President and with some Of
the chief conspiruturs and agent, through
whose action he was put into office.
The new issues brought to the front in
Ohio are two, and each of them IL of tram
sccndcnt consequence. They are conceived
b. the Republicans of that state briefly as
follows
/. The Electoral Conspiracy and the Fraud
through which the man vino was righiiuhy
elected President was deprived of the Office
while il WAS conferred upon the man whom
the people had rejected this Conspiracy
nni this Fraud shall not only bc condoncd
and forgiven, but positively approved and
glVriiied.

tenn. whose cornerstone is liberty, and
whose manifestation is the freedom of indi-
vidual and associate action without govern

IN its place there should bo established a CEN
tlall1cd government interfering in every
thing with II Communistio system Of busi
noss and labor in which the Government
should own or control all great indus trial
undertakings, regulate the rates OF wages
ard direct and supervise all social relations
generally.
These are the ISSUES which the Rcpub-
lican party in Ohio has now raised They
aic defined with the greatest di7tinctno,s in
the platform OF the party and in the
speeches Of its candidate for Governor.
They are new and startling; but they agree

Munisn as the means of regulating property ,

them. II they do not like them, they will
reject at once the doctrines and the candi-
dates.
