THE DEMOCRAT &c LEGISLATURE.
From the Dem Oeratic Press of Ohio.]
The Cleveland Plain Dealer advises
the Legislature to ''get out of CoIum-
bus as soon as possible"
Spirit of Democracy: About ev-
cry third member of the Legislature
has liquor bill. 1t is presumed that
the rest pay for their drinks as they
get them.
Ashland Press: The people of Ohio
demand it of the Legislature to ad-
journ. They are doing no good for
the State nor obeying the will of the ir
constituents. Why don't they go home
for good?
Eaton Democrat: If the Ohio Leg
islature don't want to damn the party
in power and themselves too ; let them
do what is necessary to be done, and
then adjourn and go home Is there no
patriots among them?
Western Democrat: The Defiance
Democrat says 'there are too many gas
bags in the Legislature for the good
of the country, and they should wind
up and go home" Wouldn't it be bet
ter to let 'em out for lamp post to
decorate our street corners? ? It seems
to US they would light well.
Sidney Democrat: When the Ohio
Legislature gets through its noble
work of interfering with county Off
GERS, and devising ways and means to
benefit city rat printing offices, it is
probable that they will do something
that is of interest to the people In
that case We will take pleasure IN pub
fishing the proceedings.
Crawford County Forum: We wish
the members of the Ohio Legislature
knew how badly they are wanted at
home. They would certainly adjourn
most proftless session, and GO. 1t
is not ''the order of their going" so

their constituents.
GAINESVILLE Signal: The present
Legislature is strongly Democratic in
all its branches.
1t has become stencil in the public
nostrils.
c Everybody is disgusted with it.
Even the Demo cracy are sick of it
: and are crying out for it to adjourn anG
= go home.
n 1t is sore on the body polite.
e Hear what some of the Democratic
h papers say of it:
IS ''It occurs to as the present Gener
y y al Assembly is wasting a great deal OF
! time in idleness, or it may be something
u more criminal"
t Akron Times: The Democrati
st members are making fools of them
m selves by not disposing of the appro
le priatlon hills and forcing an adjourn
t, ment Mr.. Eshelman presented tn
lie bill the first day of the session and
IS it had been disposed of as prompt,

constituents want to see you, and tn
longer you put it off the less pleasur
L yoy will have in the interview.
Cincinnati Enquirer: The clamc
for short session of the Legislatul
will not avail much. A majority c
|. the men who compose the Legislature
80 can do better at Columbus than ,
in home. Nothing but hot weather ca
,at drive them out of the Capitol. tt
.eT fault lies with the people. When the
cease making the legislative Office
It's reward for preoooity or a tail to
Il township or ward caucus, and sen
men to Columbus who have integrit
ts and capacity to transact public bus
O'' ness, then, and not till then, will "
have short sessions and prOfitab
81 ones. It may require an increase
per diem, but the State would NAL
money by the operation. The Sta
loses five-fold more every year throus
ignorance than through knavery.
'"0 Holmes County Farmer; It is
be regretted that the foregoing CO
ur tains so much truth. Not one half
lI the legislators of to day can draft
bill for any purpose, nor can they wr
out an intelligent report on any ms
ter referred to them. Such men 60
. to the Capitol to stay as long they cs
:. get permission and draw five dolls
M per day, and do it simply on t
ground that it pays them better tn,
staying at home.

takers in the Wood County affair '
one OF the most outrageous acts
- brazen shamelessness that has e
