iog expresses the "hope that the leRisla-
,ure vii pass this or similar bill. There
are a few pEofessed democrats in the
Legislature, who, Of course, will oppose
anything thai looks TO radical reform, bu,
there are undoubtedly a sufficient num-
Der of real democrats to carry this meas

people, lief, with them for special uses.
that Sill had loaned and lost 100000
in the Columbus Insurance Company, y
that Wood had loaned hundreds ,Jof thou

lin was following in the same. footsteps
Of such predecessors, loaning out the
public money at all points oflhe compass

that such policy as was recommended

The outward face Of such proceed

Dempcralic party, so far as the deliH-
quency Of the public servants protesting
