and Bill Allen Law Partners.
The Democratic State Convention met ar
Columbus on the Sth of January, 1874, and
even then there was a wide difference of opin-
ion as to whether the State Convention had
the right to instruct delegates or not. Brough,
Medary, Stanton, Manypenny andothers were
in favor of instructingt the delegates to vote for
Martin Van Buren,. General Lahm. of Stark;
Governor shannon, and several more promi-
nent men were opposed. and there was a red
hot debate in the convention On the question.
Finally the delegates were instructed to vote
as o unit for Mr.. Van Buren,, which they did
for three or four ballots; then one or two
delegates insisted on voting for General Cap.
On the ninth ballot. however, James K. Polk,
of Tennessee. was nominated.

Convention, and a Wing paper from which

by the Senate to inquire whether any, and
If any, what legislative measures may be
necessary for admitting the State of Ohio
into the Union, int extending to that State
the laws of the United States.n The commit-
tee soon reported .That the constitution and
State Governments were republican, and con-
formed to the requirements Of the ordinance
Of l7s7, n that It was necessary to establish
e District Court within the State to carry
into effect the laws Of the United states.n A
bill to carry out the suggestion passed the
senate on February 7th. and the House on
February 18th. and was approved by the
President on February 10, 1903, and Ohio took
her place among the States OF the Union.
Thenew constitution under which the State
began its work was
DEMoCRATIC
The right OF snffrags was conferred on al
the male white inhabftants Of the state who
were above twenty-one years OF age. no prop
erty qualification being demanded as had
been the case before. The members of the
House of Representatives were to NUMBER
not less than seventy-two nor more than
seventy-six. and were to be elected annually.
b Senate was to consist. in number. not
less thar one-third nor more than one-half
of the members in the lower House, and
were to be elected once in two years. The
Governor. elected for two years, by vote OF
the people, could not hold ONCE more thar
six years ont Of eight. He could grant re-
prieyes and pardons, convene the Legislature
and I'LL vacancies In State Offices when the
Legislature was not in session.; but beyond
this he possessed little power.
