fairs. Ohio's War Governors, Dennison,
Tod and Brough, are known of all men.
These men placed Ohio in the front in
the hours that tried mems souls, and
Ohio was never so great as when the
emergency was greatest.

Sheridan became the General and Lieu.

Sherman she now has for the first time
in her history, the Secretary of State.
No state in the Union has men in the
senate with such national regulations
and such brilliant futures before them
as have Foraker and Hanna. In the
House, Grosvenor stands an acknowl
edged leader. There are reasons to be-
lieve that important places in the pub.
lie service, diplomatic, departmental and
judicial await the acceptance of Ohio
men.
There is no reason to doubt that the
splendid supremacy of our great state
will be safely maintained for the next
eight years at least. With Mckinley,
Sherman, Hanna, Foraker, and Gros.

fairs the leadership of Ohio is assured
for many years.
The motto of Ohio, Emporium in

Government" is indeed we'll chosen.
