RALLY BOUND THE FLAG.
Hanna Men Issue a Call to the Faith
full All Over the State.

Columbus, O., jan IA call was is
sued last night by the Republican state
executive committee for mass con-
vention of Republicans, to be held in
this city next Monday afternoon to
protest against the attempt to defeat
Senator Hanna The call follows:
Headquarters Ohio Republican State
Executive Committee, Columbus, Jan.
6, 1898.
To the Republicans of Ohio=The
constitution of our state provides that
the people have the right to assemble
together in a peaceabIe manner, to
consult for their common good; to in
struct their representatives and to pc
titiOn the general assembly for the re-
dress of grievances"
& We call upon you in the exercise of
this right to meet in mass convention
at the Auditorium, Columbus, o., on
Monday, January 10, 1898, at o'clock
p m.
The Republicans of Ohio in county,
district and state conventions assem-
bled last spring and summer promised
the people they would return NJ. A.
Hanna to the senate of the United
States. A pledge more sacred was
never given. Upon this issue one Of the
fiercest political campaigns in the his
tory of Ohio was fought until it achiev-
ed a splendid victory.
During this campaign a few cOnspir-
atOrS, pretended Republicans not Civ
ing heed to the lawfully expressed will
of a vast maj Ority OF their party, sought
in every section of the state to defeat
can party. Overwhelmed and defeated
by your ballots, they have since con
sorted with your enemies for the pur-
pose of defeating your viii silently ex-
pressed at the ballot box. BY these
acts they have shown that they do not
love the great and benefcent princi-
pies of our party, and that the wishes
of the people are not TO be regarded
by them. All that is dear to them is
personal revenge and spoiIs.
Not in anger. but with shame.we in
form you that some of your representa-
tiVes in the general assembly have
Joined N this unholy compact and there
IS danger that they VIII disregard your
wishes and expressed Instructions
We, therefore, call upon you to as
senble and consult as to how our state
can be saved from this infamy and to
petition your representatives by your
presence and by your words to faith
fully perform the duty which you i'm
posed upon them.
