A New Constellation snbmitted for Ap-

The new constitution was submitted to the
electors Of Ohio for approval or rejection on

| for Governor by acclamation. In his speech
he declared he would endeavor to carry out
the provisions OF the new constitution which
had so recently been indorsed by the people.
In this speech occurred this sentences: "If
every Democrat viii do his duty on the sec-
ond Tuesday of October. then on the next
day the still small voice will go forth on the
wires that shall carry Joy and Rladness to
every Democratic heart from enlightened
Hamilton to the farthest corner of
BEr1GHTED OLD AsHrABULA."
The words .sbenighted Ashtabulan are even
yet frequently repeated. The contest for
Lieutenant-C9overnor was between vallandiR-

sembled In state Convention at Columbus,

County, was the permanent Chairman of the
Convention. and made an enthusiastic
speech.
The resolutions of the convention readopted
the Baltimore platform Of 1852, Endorsed the
Pierce Administration. and denounced
Know-Nothingism in most positive and de.
cided terms. There was some objection 20
the denomination of Governor Medfll, but 1t
did not amount to much. The first ballot for

tary of State, VIM. Trevitt, of Franklin: At
torney General, George A. McCook, OF Jeffer-

THE BITTER ExPERIEEcE.
The defeat of the party in 1854 impelled the
convention to pass the following resolution:
Resolved, That the names and xamples of
Jefferson and Jackson are q tower of strength
whenever temporary reverses occur to the
Democratic party, and, as In l79s and 1924. our
motto for future victory shall be Forward" !"

and pressing forward to those things which
are before.

satisfied with his explanation" This
FEELING AGAINST GOVERNOR ST. cLArR
Was made very manifest ON the assembling
Of the convention. Before proceeding 70 the
transaction Of any business, Q request came
from the Governor that he might address
them In his ofacial capacity as Chief Magis-
trate of the Territory. The request was OPP
posed by . number OF the members. and q
very warm debate ensued. The result was
that Q motion was made and carried by ma
jority Of nve 'that Arthur ST. Clair,
sen.. Esq. be permitted to address the
convention on those points which he
deems of importance" The wording
Of the resolution clearly shows that the con-
vention denied the right of the Governor Of
the Territory to exercise any official control
or influence over their action.
ABSENCE OF PARTY SPIRIT
Within the present. limits Of Ohio in those
early days has been SO well described by
Judge Jacob Burnet, member of the nrst
Council, and one Of the strong men of his
day, that . quotation OF his exact words wiz
be pertinent and timely. He said:
when the proposition was made in 1900 for
q change OF Government. party spirts was un-
known In the Territory. The election of the
elder Adams had Just met with general appro-
baton, ana resolutions had been passed at
popular meetings TO sustain his Administra-
tion against the encroachments OF the French
Government, which then threatened the
peace of the nation. The troop of cavalry In
Cincinnati. commanded By Captain Findiay.
in which the writer of this note had the
honor of being private. presented q fiatter-
ing address to the President rendering their
services TO the Governments whenever it
should seeeproper to call them out. Similar
offers were msde from different parts Of the
Western country, and, IN fact, there
seemed to be but one sentiment pervading
the minds Of the people. Only four individ-
uals in Cincinnati and its vicinity are now
remembered who then advocated the election
of Mr.. Jenerson against Mr.. Adams-these
were Major David Zeigler, William Henry
Harrison, William Mcmillan and John
Smith"
''The exciting contest which agitated the
States during that election" continues Judge
Burnet, 'swas not felt In the Territory. . .
Unfortunately, the political calm which pre-
vaded the Territory prior to the second session
of the General Assembly was Of short dura-
tion. Very soon after the plan was formed
to establish q State Government, the efforts
and influence OF the party advocating the
measure succeeded In producing high de-
gree of excitement The attention OF the
people was directed to the rights and privi-
leges enjoyed by the citizens. of the States.
which were put in contrast with the restrio-
teons and disabilities imposed on the inhab-
itants Of the Territory. The discrepancy was
palpable. but no serious injury had resulted
from it. Nevertheless the people became
convinced that their rights were unnsces-
sarily withheld for the benent Of few favor
ties of the General Government. although
there was not the least foundation In truth
for this assertion"

The Late George e. sherman.

The remains of the late George f.
Sherman, who died on Friday, were in
tered on Saturday and followed to their
last resting place by a large number of
friends. The deceased was born in Vir-
ginia, and has been in the Islands since
1874. He lived for a long time at South
Kona, Hawaii On the 8th OF November,
1852, while turnkey at the fort, he acct
Burns, who was confined in the fort.
The Hon. w. c. Parke, who was Mar
shall at that time, summoned a jury,
which rendered verdict to the effect
''that Henry Burns death was caused
by blow inflicted with a club in the
hands of Constable George Sherman.
The blow was not given with malice
aforethought, but rather from cowardice
in quelling the disturbance which was
the cause of his visit to the cell, where
Burns and others were confined" The
affair created much excitement among
the sailors on shore, who demanded that
Sherman should be delivered up. That
same evening they burned down the
Station House and Harbor Masters
office. The native militia were called
out, and the streets were cleared and
order restored. Sherman was tried in
the Superior Court soon afterwards, an
sent to prison for three years.
