FOR BRlBERS AND B0ODLERS.
Democrats Of Ironton, o., Adopt Wig
orous Resolutions at Their
County Convention.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.


Cincinnati. O.. Aug. Sat the recent
Democratic County Convention at Ironton.
O.. resolutions were adopted demanding the
death penalty for brfbers and boodlers. In
the preamble It is set forth that one-third
OF the voting population of Lawrence
County is corrupt.
The open charge Is the outgrowth OF the
investigation Of the Ironton Post once.
The resolutions follow:
1.-The vile methods OF the Republican
politicians of this county have become a
disgrace to our civilization. A conservative
estimate of the number OF boodlers in our
county would place the same at no less
than one-third Of the voting population
The vile practice OF boodling so called.
at FIRST by stealth. has become an open
shame to our citizenship and has SO per
meated the ranks OF the voters that a
decent man shudders at the prospect Oh
being a candidate for office.
Recognizing as We do that ours Is self
government. and has for It's tounaa nnfs
and an patriotic citizens. We demand OF
the Legislature the enactment OF law
that will punish by death the person VINO
gives or offers a bride, and that will pre-
vent our voting places from being on elec-
ton days hothouses OF treason ana corrup-
1--WE further declare our opposition to the
practice of hauling voters to the polls. ana
request that no Democrat engage IN suca
practice at any future election.
I'VE recognise the fact that large pro
portion Of Republican voters OF this county
honestly desire the overthrow Of the cor
rupt ring that dominates Republican poll
tics; and we assure them OF our readiness
al any and ell times to Join with them in
q nonpartisan way for the overthrow OF
their political bosses. to the end that coll,
tics may be elevated to a higher plane, ana
that the people may receive from their
servants in Office pure administration OF
local affairs.
I'VE direct and instruct the delegates to
the State Convention to adhere TO this plat.
form as to State and national matters. and
to vote for no man for any position what
ever who is not in strict harmony with the
foregoing resolutions.
whereas. charges have been made by
the public press of the State and II Is COM
monty reported in the city Of Ironton. that
there is a systematized graft and confeder-
ated fraud connected with cut Post Office
here.
Resolved. That the Democrats assembled
in this County Convention demand that
thorough and searching investigation be
made. and that the Postmaster General OF
the United States be asked to send another
Post-Ofice Inspector or ap impartial de-
tective from his own department to tnves-
tlgate and make known to this community
at the proper time whether the said charges
ere true or false. " Eegs.. ~

Letter from Secretary of State.

Columbus, Ohio, Oct. "a, 1903.
To the Deputy State Supervisors of
Elections for Logan County, Belle
fontaine, Ohio.
In the matter OF the objections to the GER
iifcats % nomination of candidates of the
Republican party Of Logan county.
The Deputy State Supervisors of
Logan county having disagreed up
on a question arising in the course of
the nomination of candidates for
county Offices at the primary cleo
tion, held by the Republican party
of Logan county on the 9Th day of
April, 1908, such matters of differ
ence are referred to the State Super
visor of Elections for final decision.
Where The certificate of nomina-
tion is in proper form and in appar-
ent CONFORMITY with law, except that
no committee is named with author
ity to fill vacancies. such certificate
is valid and the names of candidates
| therein with the Offices respectively
designated thereon should be printed
in the regular party ticket upon the
official ballot.
Prior to the enactment of Section
2966-2la of the Revised Statutes, nc
provision was made for filling vacan'
cies upon tickets nominated under
Section 2966-20, unless the party GER
tifying such nominations should alsC
insert in the certificate 1.-The name
and addresses of such persons as the y
desire to the number of five as com
mittee who may fill vacancies causeC

2966-24a the executive committee o

CARD OF
EXPLANATION
From Democratic Member of
Election Board.
And Letter From Secretary Ol
State Laylin on the Oues-
ton in Dispute.

Regarding the much mooted ques-
ton OF whether the Republican party
nominations were rightiully certified
tn the Election Board, Mr.. Gwynn,
one of the members OF the Board,
writes the following card:
cditor EIsminer:
There seems to be a general misun-
derstanding as to the reason for the
recent rejection OF the certificate Of
nominations made and filed with the
Deputy State Supervisors OF Elections
by the Chairman and Secretary OF the
Republican Executive Committee OF
this county.
$50, Sec. 6. directs how nomina-
tions may be made and what the GER
tificates shall contain. One OF the re-
quirements is this: (I quote from the
statute) rSuch certificate OF nomina-
ton shall also state the names and
address OF committee authorized to
represent such political party"
This requirement was neglected by
the Republican committee and the
names Of rsuch committee" were omit
ted from the certificate. A part OF the
Board thinking the law imperative re-
fused to pass the certificate as valid,
which refusal necessitated the submits
sion OF the question to the Secretary
of State, whose decision rshall be
final.D
Acting under the advice OF the then
Prosecuting Attorney the Board OF
Deputy State Supervisors, at former
meeting, rejected a certificate OF the
nomination OF citizen OF West Liber-
ty for a municipal Office on account OF
the same defect. 1t is true that this
rejection was made under a different
statute, which reads as follows:
2966 20, Sec. z, after directing how
nominations by petition must be made
and what the certificate must contain,
goes on to say, rsigners OF such nom-
ination papers shall insert in them
the names and addresses OF such per-
sons as they desire, to the number oil
nve, as cOmm1ttee."
In the West Liberty case the omis-
sion OF the names OF such committee
vas held to be fatal and the candidate
was excluded from the ticket.
/ submit that the language OF the
iwo statutes quoted, although not
identical, means the same and that
L hall 80 nx.a naaa 10 % poardator,, a q
it is in the other. The present Prose.
cutting Attorney holds differently
however.
The claim is also made that the Re.
publican Chairman and Secretary
offered to correct the omission in time
and that they were refused the privi.
lege. |, at one time, thought thai
certificates could be corrected at any
time prior to fifteen days before the
election. Acting on this belief, ont
year ago | had the attention OF thi;
same comm ittee called to this sams
defect and they corrected it. A some
what careful examination of tn,
statutes convinces me that this was 1
mistake and that when the certificates
are filed with the Board the power o
the Committee is at an end and tina
only such corrections can be made al
relate to things which have occnrre,
since the filing OF the certificate, suci
as the death or withdrawal OF a candi
date. Respectfully,
| IRA GwYNN.

A BEAUTIFUL
WEDDING.
Happy is the Bride That the
Sun Shines On.
Miss Kdthrine FOgdrty and Mr.
X. p. Dickinson Joined In
WedlOCk.

One of the largest and most elab-
crate weddings occurring in our city
was the one at St. Patrick's church,
Wednesday morning, when Miss
Kathriue Fogarty became Mrs. r. p.
Dickinson. The decorations of the
pretty church were on an extensive
scale. About the candle-lighted al
tar were great banks of palms and
ferns, while about the chancel aud
marking every other seat of the cen
tral aisle we're large chrysanthemums
and broad loops of satin ribbons. The
carpet from altar to the door and
the steps out of the church were COW
cred with white for the wedding
party. Instead of the usual wedding
march, the choir sang the beautiful
church hymns. Nothing could have
been more impressive for a marriage
ceremony. Twenty-six surpliced
boys, each bearing lighted candle,
came down the aisle to meet the
bride, and returning were followed
by ten little girls in white, who car
ried baskets of flowers, two of whom
walked backward, scattering flowers
in the pathway of the bride. The
little lads passed inside the chancel,
while the little maids formed a line
on either side, and the bride came
through to the altar, where the
bridegroom awaited her coming.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Joseph Denning, the
beloved pastor, who was about to de-
part TO another field of work. After
the vows had been exchanged, solemn
high mass was sung. The celebrant
was Rev Mr. Siebcnfoercher, of Ken
ton; Deacon, Rev. Mr.. Fogarty,
of Versailles; Sub-Deacon Rev. Mr.
Beckmeyer, assistant pastor of Sid
ney. During the offertory Miss Gu, h.
ing sweetly sang 'Oh, Jesus, Mi"
The bride wore a robe of white
crepe de chine over taffeta with
lace bertha, the gift of the groom, a
veil fastened with spray of lilies
of the valley, and carried a large
bouquet of white roses.
The services of the morning con-
tiuued for an hour and half, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Dickinson passed from
the church, following the little folks
until the carriage was reached, pass
ing out under a lovely arch of green
ARRANGED beneath the balcony. After
a wedding feast at the home, on
Washington avenue, the happy
couple left for a three weeks visit
with relatives in the East.
| Mr.. Dickinson is the popular Presi.
dent of the Board of Public Service
and his bride is the daughter of Mr.
Patrick Fogarty, who has been q
faithful daughter and almost mother
to the younger children of the family
since the death of tk=ir mother soms
lyears ago.
Both are devoted members of st
lPatrick's church.
A touching fact in connection will
the marriage, was the remembrance
in all their happiness of the saintet
mother, and the flowers used on thi
Joyous occasion were afterward car
ried to the silent place and laid ol
the grave of that dear one.
May the beautiful day of sunshin
be truly type of the life in store 70
Mr.. and Mrs. Dickinson.
