ResolUsd That the late Democratic general
assembly, in its reckless expenditures Of
public money, its utter neglect Of the bust :
ness interests Of the state, by failing to enact
the wise and much needed financial measures
providing for the assessment and euuailiEa-
tiOn Of taxation, prepared by the commits
siOner appointed by the preceding General
Assembly; its hostility to our Benevolent
and literary institutions; its failure 10 carry
out the repeated pledges Of the Democratic,
party to secure economy in the state; its ex-
tTaOrdiuary length of session intine Of peace,
resulting in an expense TO the state am6unt-
ing [fOr the pay of its members) 70 nOte
ihan double that Of the preceding General
Assembly; its malignant attempts to difran-
chise disabled soldiers and citizens of the
state; its attempt 10 take from the general
government the right to pursue, arrest and
punish those who violate the laws made in
pursuance of the constitution of the United
States, and the vicious act Intended to de-
strOy the pOwero Of the nation 10 preserve and
protect the liberty and safety Of its citizens;
has shown the Democratic party unworthy of
the trust, confidence and suPpOrtOf an hon
est and patriotic people. IL aT
ResOIUed, That the Republican party Of
Ohio is in favor of speedy establishment
Of soldiers orphans home in Ohio; not
only as an act of justice to the many poor
and helpless orphans but as recognition Of
the patriotic services of their fathers in she
late war, and for the purpose of reclaimiDg
The pledges made by all loyal people to pro-
tect the families Of those who fought and fell
in'the cause of human liberty aud right. y
