In the Senate on Friday the 18th, the bill
TO REoRGANlzE THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
ORPHANS HOME
Was read the third time and came up for pas
sage. Mr.. Owens thought the bill was imper-
feet.
Mr.. Forrest said the question Of reorganization
had been forced upon the Legislature. He was
one Of the few on the Democratic side who had
opposed reorganization as applied TO any institu'
tion in the State except the Ohio Penitentiary.
He knew very little about the need for reorgani'
cation in this institution, but thought that II II
was good In one case 1t was good in another
Mr.. DUNCAN thought that no reason existed to
reorganize this institution. In this institution In
a short time there will be vacancies enough To
place all our friends In the office, and as there
had been no charges made Of extravagance on
the part Of the present Directors, he did not see
why any attempt should be made to Oust them
now.
Mr. Carson said he was present In the Sixty
second General Assembly when the institution
had been recognized last, and from what he had
then learned OF It's workings he was in favor Of a
reorganization now, and would vote for the pas
sage OF the bill.
Mr.. Tyler moved 10 postpone consideration OF
the bill until Wednesday next.
Mr.. Seitz thought the Institution had been per.
verted from the original purpose Tor Which II
was intended, as admissions to 1t were being
made of children of soldiers who had never re.
ceived scratch in the service Of the United
States, which he did not think was acting up TO
| the original intention Of Its establishment. He
would therefore vote to have the discussion OF
the bill postponed In order TO give time TO have
| an amendment made TO II TO cover this difficulty
| A vote being taken consideration OF the bill was
| postponed until Wednesday next.
