At meeting of the Democratic COM
mittees of the Senate aud House a sub
committee was appointed consisting of
Messrs. Blackburn, Banning, Jones (of N.
H.) Kenton and senator Mcdonald, with
full power to associate with them three
residents of our city to assist in selecting,
preparing and distributing campaign
documents The re-districting of Ohio
incidentally came up during an inform al
discussion, and it was unanimously re-
solved that as tho radical party had TO-
districted the State to carry tho election,
in favor of their party, that 'turn about

should by all means redistrict the state
at once, and give tho RAIDS dose of their
own medicine.
Hon. (D Charles Fosters wilful mis-
representations of the alleged inequality

mind that the people are aware that the
democratic appropriations cut down the
Expenditures; or in other words the
radical steal some nineteen million dollars,
from the usual extravagant figures kept
up by the radicals who control the exec
utive. Mr.. Fostei should further under
stand, that the people who are ut pres
ent bankrupt by the cut throat financial
ism of his pal John Sherman, and brough
to starvation by Onerous taxation to sup
port radical office holders, are neither to |
he. deceived, OF mislead by his adroit
confusion of the terms sexpenditures' or |
radical stealing, and 'appropria tons or
democratic saving of the peoples money.
The bait won't take aud already it has |

ten fold fury, through the explanations
made by speaker Randall on tho floor of
the House, and now "Charlie" lays quiet

We recently called upon General Rice,
chairman of the House Pension Commit
