posed attack upon the Presidents title, is
received As promising omen, and the Re-
paDIicans OF ohio cordially greet such eiti-
zens 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
pOlitlcai rights, free speech, a free pre- s., an
unsranpeled ballot to ali citizens, UpOn
these cOnlltlOns alone can sectional strife
be allayed, anu the sectional unes which

A tariff for revenue should be maintained
and so adjusted as 10 secure incidental pro-

requires that the Government should make
sumcient appropriations to carry forward
the work on all public buildings without
delay, and this should especially be the aim
when theSupply 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
promote the comfort of minersl to n mere
partisan purpose.

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, It cannot be
questioned and We recognize in his admin
lsiratlOn the highest integrity and patriot
ism; the most sincere effort to promote DO
htieal purity and harmony and secure gem
eral business prosperity throughout the
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
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
reNOlutlOnized every State institution to
make places for Democratic partisSgns they
the welfare Of the insane, the
blind, the mute and the orphans to the in
terestS OF the Democratic party, The Con-
stitullOn having never contemplated more
than one Congressional districLing OF the
State during term OF ten years between
the taking OF ceDSuses, We condemn the re-
cent outrageous and unjust redIstricting of
the State by the Eegislgture In violation of
usage and at the dictatiOn of Speaker Ran
dali, by which, ON the basis OF the vote OF
the last Presidential election, when a ma
lOrity Of the votes cast was Republican, the
Democrats would he enabled TO carry four
teen out of twenty Congressman.
