After declaring there were no feuds

their tight was not for a man or faction,
but Tor a cause, and that honored and
trusted leaders IN office and out are in en-

OF degrading himself or tmperilling the
cause by an untlinely struggle for personal
aggrandl1ement, he said, we propose to

patriotic appeal to the people OF Ohio.
We expect to show them, whatever may
have been the service OF the Republican
party in the past, the material interest
OF the masses and the safety OF local self
government alike demand change OF
administration. No party that ever ex-

Republican party has held it without det-
