Ohio Constitutional Convention Begins

THE Fourth Constitutional Convention of Ohio began its session on the 9th inst., with the election of the Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow, Congregational, as president of the convention. After a spirited contest over the matter, the appointing of committees was placed in the hands of the presiding officer. These committees will frame the articles proposed for Ohio’s new organic law, to be submitted to the people for ratification. The convention will be in session for three months, perhaps, and the question of prohibition, as well as Sunday legislation, will receive a large part of its attention. There are indications that the National Reform Association will urge the Sunday-law question strongly upon the convention.
