Democracy conventions, Ohio was
only a Republican state with no inn
presSive voice in Democratic councils.

sea of Repu blicanism to the paradise
of Democracy confirmed by decisive

wealth and has been along and within
tutional provisions; for" continued
the speaker, ''he believes in the estab-

for the legends and the fables or the
memorials and the ruins of the So

mo man can take the oath of office
as president of the United States who
