tie Democrats is now upon the shoul
ders nt the Republican par!y,''
That is isir expression OF the Re
publicun party, and the revolulionar,
leaders will find it grow TO incon, enien
proportions as lime pssses.
But speaking Of The bankrupt condi
ton OF the State Treasury, the peopl,
will not fsil TO note this condition is co
incident with the crownipg act of reyo
luton, under which extravaganza is to
run unbridled. The false cry Democrat.
ic extravaganza will deceive no one bu
tie blind partisans who expect to lro6
by The extravaganza OF the Republican
leaders, which may nov be regarded q!
fully inaugutated.
There are certain tscts which even ths
most expert and case hardened Repub
llcan cannot lie out of existence:
l That, however extravagant the las
Democratic Legislature may have been
it met all OF its e. Expenditures out OF tht
revenues derived from taxation, large!,
reduced the State debt, and did not leave
the Treasury bankrupt.
2. That the Treasury balance coming
over from Hoadly to Foraker was as
large as the balance coming over from
Foster to Hoadly, less only the eStraor-
binary expenses incurred by food, FIRE
cyclone and riot-expenditures which
could not be forseen, aud, if made at all
had TO be made upon the spur OF the
moment, and which were made with
only two or three dissenting voices.
3. That the local Indebtedness created
by the present Legislature during its
first session will exceed that created
during The whole term Of the Sixty
seventh General Assembly.
4. That the revenues for 1886, which
will be as great as they were in 1885,
will fall 100000 below the eum total
of this years appropriation.
B. That never in the Legislative his
tory Of tie State was there such gross
and palpable extravaganza in appro-
prislions.
6. That Mr.. Brown, the Republican
Chairman OF the Republican Finance
Committee, admitted On the floor Of the
House that the present is the most ex-
travagant Legislature that ever assem-
bled In Ohio.
Z. That it is proposed to raise the
money to meet this extravagance and
recklessness by imposing 80 per cent.
tax burdens upon the agricul-
turall interests of the State, which al.
ready bear disproporlonate share of
the same.
These are facts that tie people UNDER
stand, or will understand before they get
done investigating. Neither Republican
revolution nor Republican falsehood
will wipe out the true history of the
General Assembly.
The time was when the Republican
manipulators could esrape justice for
their o@n misdeeds by casting odium
upon Democrats, but it is passed. The
expose OF the latest Republican attempt
IN this direction, in this mornings En-.
1uirer, shows that they have got t. the
end OF that string, at last.

There's a light In the fishermans dwelling
And a CLEAN in the fishermans home;
II beckons him over the waters,
Athwart the mist and the foam
There's q song in the fsherman's dwelling
While the good wife makes II fair,
For the love that lightens labor,
And the JOY Of love is there.
There's lullaby soft and tender,
As she hu hes her babe TO its rest;
Her thoughts are all with the fisher
In his toll ON the oceans breast
There's prayer in the fsherman's dwelling
For one ON the stormy deep,
Through the hours Of weary waiting,
Through the babes unconscious sleep
Cradle him, ocean pillows,
Cradle him, ocean foam,
Watt him, o favoring breezes,
And bring the fisherman home!
