COLUMBUS, O., jan. @s.-The present Gem |
erai Assembly Of Ohio could hardly be nc
cused Of Intentional disregard Of the welfare |
Of their own party, but 1t must be admitted
the Republican members Of the Legislature,
who arc In tho majority, and are consequent
ly held responsible, are doing more Inward
insuring Democratic SUCCESS In Ohio next
fall tllan tho members or lenders Of
tho Democracy could hope to accoul-
plish by their own efforts: The willing
lEcss with which the Republican members
have shown IN champEontng the pet theory
OF some society Of. bur little: following, and
less Influence, t,as distinguished tho present
General Assembly from that Of It's prede-
cessors, and IN a way that can but result In
IN advantage to tho Democratic party.
Tie passage Of the Pool bill, prohibiting
tho selling Ut pools, will, it Is believed, re-
suit In tho breaking up Of all tho trottinE and
running associations III thu State, anil add to
the receipts or associations In Illinois. A[ichi-
gan, Indiana, md Pennsylvania, wllere the
Ohio nlnn who wishes to witness
trial Of speed will ho compelled to go
in order to witness d race. Tho very many
associations ofthis kind In the State, 1t Is lln-
necessary to sny, have Il large following md
thousands Of voters have interests which will
be- impaired by tho breaking OF thess associa-
tlons That the people whose prosperity h
dcpreclated by tllis Legislation
ARE INDIGNANT
Is but natural to suppose, anu that they Will
protest with their ballots ut the tirst election
Is clearly apparent this early III tho year.
Tho Stubbs BILL. knows as the Sunday
law, now before tho General Assembly,
! Is SO sweeping III It's character, and. wsthni,
so purltantcal IN It's requirements that 1t las
n!rcatly brought forth from nearly every
section Of tho state vigorous protests against
| Its passaEe,-in fact, no bill for years has
been SO thoroughly condemned. It not only
forms tho theme Of conversation In the legls-
| resort and or every railway train.
Add to those two bills that OF local option.
mud It Will la clearly apparent to any OBJ
server OF events tllat to act upon then. In tho
n.unner most desired by the orlglnators would
be not only'to throw to tho winds the work
| OF tho Republican party during the pust two
years, bit to decide the result Of the election
next fall long before the nominations are
| MaNc.
II may be said Tint letters ot protest against
the Threatened folly are pouring III, no1 only
\ on the n.embers OF tho General Assembly, but
leaders Of tho party are being called upon IL
