The financial question having been dis

Ihe disposition exhibited by conservative
men IN the South to oppose the revolution

Democrats, as shown nrSt in their refusal to
oppose the contamination OF the electoral
count, and more lately in the expression OF
sentiments IN dlSapprObatiOn OF the prO-
posed attack upon the Presidents title. il
received aS a promising omen, and the Re-
psbhcans OF Ohio cordially greet such citi-
@ @Zens OF lhe South as adhere IN good faith TO
the terms upon which the issues OF the war
Were settled, including the constitutional
amendments guaranteeing equal civil and
POllSlC,. ElShtS Tree speech, free pre- -, an
lhsrahlmeled ballot To ali citizens. Upon
these conditions alone can sectional strife
oe aIiayed, and the sectional lines which
low low oissOclate Is IN a great measure the South

sumclent appropriations to carry forward
the work on all public buildings without

The mining interests of Ohio require an

PROSTATE our industries and aggravats and

President Hayes having been duly elected
and his title subsequently settled under the
Constitution by the highest tribunal and by
the act Of both political parties, II cannot be

whole country.
The present Legislature Is a warning 20
the people OF the state, and a proof OF the
dangerous character of the Democratic par
". The majority OF that body, in an unu-
sualIy long session. passed no law for the
benefit Of the people of the State, but they
revolutlOntzed every state institution TO
make places for Democratic partiSlns they

blind, the mute and the orphans To the in

having never contemplated more
than one Congressional districLing OF the
State during term OF ten years between

cent outrageous and unjust redistricting OF
tho State by the Legislgture in violation OF
usage and at the dietatiOu OF speaker Ran

the last Presidential election, when a ma
lOrity Of the votes cast was Republican, the |
Democrats would be enabled to carry four.
