by conservative men in the South, to Op-
pose revolutionary methods on the part of
Northern Democrats, as shown, first, in
their refusual to oppose the consumma-
! ton of the Electoral count, and more late
ly in the expression of sentiment in dis
appreciation of the proposed attack upon
the Presidents title, is received as prom
ising omen, and the Republicans of Ohio
cordially greet such citizens 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 press, an un-
trammeled ballot to all citizens. Upon
these conditions alone can sectional strife
be allayed, and sectional lines, which now
separate in a great measure the South
from the North be obliterated.
Fifth-A tariff for revenue should be
maintained and so adjusted as to secure
incidental protection to home industry.
True economy requires that the govern
ment should make sufficient appropriation
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 in
spection intelligently administered, and
we condemn the action of the Governor
in prostituting that department, the OBJ
ject of which should be to protect life
and promote the comfort of miners, to a
mere partisan purpose.
Sixth-The revolutionary movement
inaugurated under cover ofinvestigation,
but really as an attack upon the Presi-
dents title, calculated as it is to Mexican
ize the affairs of this country, to cause
general distrust, to PROSTATE our indus
tries, and aggravate and prolong the dis
tress of laboring and industrial classes,
we unqualifedly condemn. President
Hayes having been duly elected, and his
title subsequently settled under the Con-
stitution, by the highest tribunal, and by
the act of both political parties, it can not
be questioned; and we recognize in his
administration the highest integrity and
patriotism; the most sincere effort to pro-
mote political purity and harmony, and
to secure general business prosperity

Seventh-The present Legislature is a
warming to the people of the State, and a
proof of the dangerous character of the
Democratic party. The majority of that
body, in an unusually long session, passed
no law for the benefit of the State, but
they revoIutionized every State institu-
ton to make places for Democratic par
tisans. They subordinated the welfare of
the insane, the blind, the mute, and the
orphans to the interests of the Democratic
party.
Eighth-The Constitution having never
contemplated more than one Congresston-
al districting ofthe State during a term
of ten years between the taking Of the
censuses, we condemn the recent out
rageous and unjust redistricting of the
State by the Legislature, in violation OF
usage and at the dictation of Speaker
Randall, by which, on the basis of the
vote of the last Presidential election, when
a majority of the votes cast was Republi-
can, the Democrats would be enabled tc
carry fourteen out of twenty Congress.
men.
The resolutions met with much accla-
nation, the Hayes Endorsement receiving
hearty and continued cheers.
MExICANIzE.
A member from Ross County said that
the word FFMexicanize" looked too much
like reflection on our sister republic,
the resolutions, and insert "anarchize. .
Mr.. Grosvenor remarked: ''Mr. Chair
mani have not a dictionary at my COM
mand, but have serious doubts whether
there is any such word in the dictionary
However, if it is a word that will make
the Democratic party any worse than it is,
[ am in favor of it,
Upon suggestion, the word ''revolu-
tionize" was substituted for EFanarchize. .
Gen. John Beatty, of Franklin County.
rose to inquire whether the word ''Mexi-
canize" applied to the manner in which
two of the Southern States has been be-
trayed into the hands of the Democrats?
Gen. Beatty's attempts at this point tc
introduce his views of the Southern poll
cy were followed by much confusion
some applause, and some kissing.

ing to the question.
The motion to strike out ''Mexicanize'
and insert "revolutionize" was lost.
| MINE INSPECTION.
Mr.. Grosvenor then moved to amend
the report so far as it referred to the ac
tion of the Legislature concerning the ap
pointment of Mine Inspector, by substi
tuting the word Governor for the wore
"Legislature." He explained his motion
in the following remarks:
E'I think the Committee on Resolution
has said that the action of the Legislature
affecting the appointment of a Mine In
, spector has turned aside the object of tn
law. 1t was not the Legislature that wa
responsible for that. l was member o
the Legislature that passed the law;
2 was a Republican Legislature, and if tn
5 Committee on Resolutions desire to cen
sure the Republican Legislature, it is
! little more than 1 am ready to submit tC
e Laughter. 1t was the Governor of Obi
g that turned aside basely, falsely, treach
g erous1y, and solely in the interests of hi
e party and his own reelection, and ha

The Chair stated that he has been il
formed that the error was clerical on,
