We therefore denOunce AS unpatriOtic

The financial question having been dis
passed. OF BY Congress, and the country at

may seek Investment and that industries
may revive, thus increasing the demand for

and We oppose the further agitation OF the
question ~ this time as I'M urioUs 10 busi-

The disposition exhibited by conservative
men in the South TO oppose the revolution
ary method on the part OF the Northern
Democrats, as shown nrSt in their refusal To
oppose the cOnsummatiOn OF the electoral
count, and naOre lately in the expression OF
sentiments in disapprObatiOn OF the pro-
TOSed attack upon the Presidents title, Is
i received as promising omen, and the Re-
| pHblicans Of Ohio cordially greet such citI-
Zsns OF the 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
political rights, free speech. a free pres an
uDsranmeled ballot 20 6ll citizens. Upon
these conditions alone can sectional strife
be allayed, and the sectional lines which
now disSociate in great measure the south

| A tarih for revenue should be maintained
/ and so adjusted as 10 secure Incidental pro

/ requires that the Government should make
suf1icient appropriations to carry forward
| the work ON all public buildings without
delay, and this should especially be the aim
when the supply Of labor is in excess OF the
| demand.
| The mining interests of Ohio require an
inspection law intelligently administered

object OF which should be to protect life and

and his title subsequently settled under the
Constitution by the highest tribunal and by
the act OF both political parties, II cannot be
questioned, and We recognize in his admin
| istratiOn the highest integrity and patriot
ism; the most sincere effort to promote pO
litical purity and harmony and secure gem
eral business prosperity throughout the
whole country.
The present Legislature is a warning 90
| the people of the state, and a proof OF the
dangerous character of the Democratic par
| ty. The majority OF that body, in an unu-
sually long session, passed no law for the
| benefit OF the people Of the state, but they
| revOlutiOniZed every state institution tO
make places for Democratic partisans they
| subOrlinated the welfare of the insane, the
| blind, the mute and tho orphans to the In
| terests OF the Democratic party, The Con-
/ stitutiOn having never contemplated more
| than one Congressional dlstricJing OF the
State during a term OF ten years between
| the taking of ceDSuseS, We condemn the re-
| cent outrageous and unjust Tedistricting of
the State by the Legislgturo in violation OF
usage and at the dictatiOn OF speaker Ran
| dali, by which, on the basis OF the vote ol
| the last Presidential election, when ma
jOTity of the votes cast was Republican, the
Democrats would be enabled TO carry four.
teen out OF twenty Congressman.
