proyide cd for without an increase of the
State levy, and the appropriations in the
aggregate are much less than that Of the
preceding Republican LegislsLure, without
abstracting $500 900 from the Relief Fund
for the MANNED and disabled soldiers and
their families.
Resolucd That VIC hereby tender our
thanks to the 68th General Assembly for
the economical expenditure in the admin
istration of the State government, and for
the exposure of the Wholesale frauds in
the erection Of State buildings whereby
he people were Swindled out Of half a
million of dollars by negligence of the
Republican State officials, and the dis
honesty Of their HppOinteeS and subordi-
mates.
ReseiUed, That we denoun the Nation
al Banking system as one Of the worst
outgrowths of the bonded debt, which
unnecessarily increase the burden of the
people thirty millions of dollars annually
and that we demand its immediate repeal.
ResolUed That the trial and sentence TO
death by Military Commission Of Citl-
zen OF Texas not in the military or naval
service, when the civil Courts Iwere in the
unobstructed exercises Of their functions
in that State, and in time of profound
peace, and tho approval Of that entence
by President Grant, are violations of the
most sacred rights Of American citizens,
guaranteed by their constitutions, both
State and Federal, and deserve and should
receive the severest condemnation ofevery
lover Of liberty and constitutional gov
ernment.
ResOlUed, That the numerous palpable
and high-handed usurpations Of the party
In power, their many public and private
acts of tyranny, trampling under foot the
civil law and the guarantees of the Con-
stitution, thus continuing to deprive SOW
ereign States Of representation in Con-
gress, and to govern such States by mere
military rule, show them to be party of
despotiSm and unworthy the confidence
and support Of free people.
ResOived, That we extend the right hand
of fellowship and recognize as brethren
in q common cause oil Conservative men
not heretofore Democrats who will unite
with US in rescuing the Government from
the unworthy hands into which it has
fallen; and we pledge the united, cordial
support Of the two hundred and fifty
thousand Dem oCrats in Ohio, whom we
represent TO the ticket nominated by

the suffragcS of the people of Ohio.
