by these showers.
A large number of horses have been

The Ohio RogistrOtiOn LAVA Stupendous
Republican Fraud.
When the Registration Bill was be-
fore tho Ohio Senate, Hon. j. w.
Owens, of Licking county, made
speech exposing some of it's swindling
provisions. We copy an extract, il
lustrating a single Objectionable tea
turc:
The clear propositions of the Bill arc
1irst-That d new office is created, a
Registrar is to be paid for four days
service, twice or three times each year,
in every voting precinct in the State,
costing the people of Ohio a sum OF
money annually greater than the en-
tire amount paid to members OF both
branches Of the General Assembly.
SecOnd-Your Registrar is a parti-
san, a member of the party in the ma
jority, from whom the people have al
ways most to fear; again, if you seek
further the intent of this law, look
where, and how, and for how mach,
and on whom it places penalties. By
the terms of Sc ction 6, if a man makes 4
mistake in his age, even if he be hey Ond
fifty years of age, he may be fined
$500 and imprisoned six months. That
is the manner in which it proposes to
treat the citizen but turn to Section s
and yeu find if the Registrar .fails to
perform has duty-hOw gently this bill
deals with him-ShdU be liable to a
penalty of one hundred dollars. No
imprisonment for him. Oh, no! The
Registrar in your cities can enter into
q grand conspiracy with your Eph
Hollands, your Burns, from Chicago,
your Mike, the Bile" to thwart the
will of the people. to change the result
of an election in a county, even in the
State, and he, the Registrar, shall go
acqult for 500. and that perhaps paid
out of the corruption fund in the hand
of your political executive committee.
If Senators on the other side of this
chamber mean to pass this bill, i'm
pl0re of you in justice TO the people,
and out of respect to the opinions OF
we who differ with you, be good
enough to explain how it is if you
mean honesty in elections, that you
have drafted and propose to pass the
bill. BY strict party vote the House
of Representatives have voted down
a bill by Mr.. Converse, bill drawn
to prevent villainy in high places; to
prevent villsiny that Overturns the
election of States of the nation; vii
lainy that i'm the year just passed has
brought US to the verge of civil war,
o: utter ruin-dangers that no good
citizen desires shall ever again be en-
countered. You, by your party vote,
say you do not want to enact a law
10 prevent the villainy. the fraud, the
great and wicked crimes spoken of in
this Converse bill.
