This article, it seems, had the desired effect ne
caucus was again called last night the refractory k'sh
M INTO The traces the fears Of the cowardly suodued,
and this morning THE FOUL DEED WAS coHsUMMAr-
Ed and the Ohio Legislature, in both branches LEFT
WITHOUT A QUORUM, without which no business can De
done, and, i'll truth, without even lhe power " J'
except from day to day.
The only excuse we have yet heard for this proceed
np is that the Federal members did not like The b'ii
dividing the State into Congressional districts, be-
cause ii gave the Democrats too large majority OF Inc
districts To efute this charge, it need only to be STAT
ed. that in 1910 THIRTEEN OF THE DISTRICTS
az formed bv the bill which passed the House CAV L
A MAJORITY FOR THE FEDERAL tA fn',,
WHILE BUT EIGHT WERE DEMOCRATlC.
Upon the head Of the guilty, let all me eV''s whcl
will flow from this revolutionary act fai. Let Tue
POOR DEBTOR remember when his property IS Sd
cr,ficed for few cents upon the dollar, that Demo
cratic Legislature passed law for hs reei ana tha
law was nulhfed by minority OF Tie reuefai parry
dissolving the Legislature before the OIL was s'ghru
Let the POOR IABORERS our public works
while surrounded by their children, weeping Tor then
daily bread remember, that the State would have rem
dered them Justice had it not been for the
acts of few reckless denagogues! Let lhe IA
/ remember
ed in Ohio at our free institutions, and that II unre
buked the precedent which is by this act established
will enable minority, hereafter, to break up any LIE
qisature, and thus Sc, naught the will the people
and let AL. REhlEM Der, that the Federal members
lie in their tiroats, when they say that 1t was caused
by the fear of the passage ofhc bill stricng the State
for one of the members who resigned, openly proclaim
ed a few days SINCE that the Legislature had rs muc
right to repeal law dividing the State into districts
il as any other law, and that if bill should pass, whlc
h did not meet his appreciation, he would himself, 6rn
in bill to repeal il, as his party gained TN
K ascendancy Let all these things be emoeed, an
let an indignant people spurn such 'nretehes htrece
j. from their councils =!
On to. morrow, we will be able to give the names o
n the members who resigned, well as other matter
d connected with this movement.
