What . farce II an was-that pretcnse az
the Springfield opening OF the republican
campaign that the country suffering
under the Wilson tariff Bui the screaming
part Of the farce. which confused the entire
people OF Ohio with mirth was the pretended
reconciliation between the two gentlemen
whom the GAINESVILLE convention had nomi-
and president 81 the United States 80 far as
ne nomination of United States senator was !
concerned. II Is possible that the convention |
may not have exceeded its jurisdiction. |
but the nomination for president OF the |
United states by the character OF men who !
dominated the convention may not neces-
sarily be binding upon the next national con-
vention. upon the state and district con-
yentions which will select the Ohio delegs-
tion.
