Cincinnati and the federal constitu-
'tion," said he, "are of the same age.
The century just drawing to a close was
inaugurated by Democratic president
and the founder of the Democratic
party, Thomas jefferson. The last of
the illustrious line of Democratic presi-
dents preceding the war was nominated
at Cincinnati, and believe that all that
is necessary for the Democratic party
again to assume control of the gov
eminent and inaugurate an I'M
broken line of Democratic presi-
dents, is to nominate our men at
Cincinnati. Let us close the century
with the grandeur with which it was
opened and start new century with
the Democratic presidents at the head
and the Democratic party in power and
our country again upon new era of
prosperity. If you hold the convention
in Cincinnati. l join hands with my
colleagues in pledging to the nominee
of that convention the electoral vote of
the state of Ohio.
