Additional Editorial.
Governor Hoadly as a Joker.

4
.Gov. Hoadly had his last "big talk
with the Ohio Legislature on Monday,
and for length it rivals the recent
message of President Cleveland to Con-
gress. Printed in full it would occupy
about twelve columns of this paper.
Much of the message is devoted to no
| icing the reports of the various State
lusJitutions and recommendations con-
corning their management. The liquor
question and the PeDitentiary manage
ment are discussed at length, but the
Governors views concerning these Ques-
tions have been so we'll aired by him.
self, various times, that it is unneeessa-
ry to call further attention to them.
Among other choice excerpts that
brighten the pages of the voluminous
document, the clever Governor indulges
in some fine strokes of humer touching
the election laws, which must have been
prepared for the sensitive Boodlers from
Cincinnati, who appeared with fraudu-
lent certificates in their oily fingers. and
went through the formslity of taking
the oath of Office. This is a sample:
Recent elections in Ohio have been at
tended with disorders and followed by
examinations and recriminations, by
charges and counter charges of fraud,
by judicial scrutinies and by widely
extended belief that our legal devices
are not yet sufficient to hinder or ader
quately punish intimidation and fraud
at the polls and a dishonest count. Elec-
tions should be honestly conducted, the
will of the people have free expression,
be correctly registered, and implicitly
obeyed. We must have honest elections.
l recommend careful revision of the
election laws, that better safeguards be
provided, and the duties of canvassing
officers be more strictly defined; that
frauds be severely punished. and that
the illegitimate use of money be prs>
vented.
1t is unfortunate.that the registration
law passed by the last General Assem>
bly, for Cincinnati and Cleveland was
not so prepared as to avoid the objec>
tions by reason of which it has been
lOuuQ Observation-Disclosures. hlIoT uthIl1
forty years residence in Cincinnati, and
ne little acquaintance with the methods
there prevailing in both political parties,
| have no hesitation in saying that an sf-
fective registration law is essential to
free and honest suffrage in that city.
1t is well for the reputation of the
Governor that at this late day in his Of
fetal career, he can indulge in such
brilliant humor. Knowing as he does
of the fragrant outrages upon the ballot
in Hamilton county, and being q party
to the pardon of notorious policeman,
who was chief in the Suppression of an
honest vote-with full knowledge of
the infamous methods resorted to by
the Coal-oil gang to thwart the public
will and to fasten upon the people of
Ohio corrupt and foul legislative ma
jority. the expression, I'VE must have
honest elections" comes from the Cover
nor as huge joke.
