paramount authority as any other part of

the Supreme Court of the Nation; and that
copy of this resolution shall be forwarded
so the Senators of Congress, therefore
Be If resolred, by the Senate and House of
Representatives OF the State of Ohio, that
said Lamar is not unbiased and unpreju-
diced against the Constitution OF the United
States, but oa the contrary. is biased and
ejudiced against the same and is not in
judicial state Of mind in regard thereto;
and therefore disqualified and untitled 10
sit in a court as Judge whose function is to
interpret and determine the meaning and
scope of that instrument.
Mr.. Sinnctt offered the following resolu-
ton:
RssoIred, That We hereby approve of and
thank the Senators and Representatives of
Sixty-seventh General Assembly rs follows:
She Democratic Senator from the Fourth
district for introducing Senate Joint resol-
utiou No. p relative 10 the pensioning of
honorably discharged Union soldiers; the
Democratic Senator from the Thirty third
district for introducing Senate Joint re-
solution relative to pensioninS prisoners
of war; the Democratic representative from
Lucas county for the introduction of
House Joint resolution relative TO the in-
crease of pensions OF soldiers who lost leg
or arm, and also for the introduction OF the
bill amending and supplencnting an act
relating Ia soldiers monuments for Ohio
on the battlefield of Gettysburg; the Re-
publican representative from Union county
fer the introduction of the bill providing for
the establishment of a home for disabled
aud INDECENT eI-soldicrs, sailors and ma
rine- of Ohio. and we more particularly
thank the seventeen Democratic Senators
who voted for the passage of this bill Us
against only ten Republican Senators vot-
ing for the same, whr. in the Republican
Sixtyreventh Gener.s Assembly, and We
very carefully, mildly, respectfully, and
affectionatcly reprove the Republican MEM
bers of the Republican S!Ity-seventy Cen
eral Assembly in that they manifestfy ex-
hibited a want of interest ia the necessities
of the Union eJ-sUldiers sailors, and INA
rines when they permitted every resolution |
relative To pensioning Union soldiers to be
introduced by Democrats, and furthermore,
during a Republican General Assembly,
they allowed every one Of these resolutions |
but one. when the vote was equally divided |
TO receive in a Republican Senate larger |
Democratic vote than Republican vote.
and particularly We very carefully, mildly, |
and respectfully reprove our Republican |
Senators of the Sixty-seventh General |
Assembly, in that they permitted 80 many |
more Democrats than Republicans TO vote |
for the bill establishing the home for dis |
sbled Union soldiers in Ohio upon its final |
passage. and finally We deprecate the fact |
that, according 10 the records, neither one |
of those measures would have passed the |
Republican Sixty-seventh General Assem-
bly,, when put upon passage, but for the |
kindly aid of the Democratic Senator'S who |
always manifested deep concern in every |
question relating to the welfare of the eX-
Union soldiers; therefore, We again very |
kindly and afiectionately remind our Re |
publican Senators Of the Sixty-seventh Gen
eral Assembly that they were derelict of
duty then, if perchance their feelings are
now in harmony with this resolution. and
this We do, notwithstanding the Republi-
can platform falsely claimed the enactment
of those measures 10 have been secured by |
q Republican Legislature, and notwith-
standing Governor Foraker, at various
times during the late political campaign, |
gave prominence 70 a statement that the
Republican party ought TO be credited with
all of this legislation.
Mr.. Ranneis moved that the resolution
be indefinitely postponed.
At this point the Senators went over to
the House OF Representatives where in &C
cordance with law and the usual custom,
the vote cast at the fall election WAS can
vassed, and Governor Foraker and other
State officers were declared elected.
When the Senate reassembled, Mr.. Ran
nells motion was carried by party vote.
Mr.. Coulter offered the following:
Resolved. That the election of H L..
kole, late Secretary of the Democratic
State Central Committee, to the position Of
Recording Clerk meets the unqualified dis
approval of the SiEy-eighth General As
sembly of the State of Ohio.
Mr.. Rannells moved that said resolution
be postponed until Thursday at IL O'clock
Mr.. Cowgirl moved that the motion of
Mr.. Rannells' be laid on the table. Mr.
Cowgilrs motion was carried, 10 10 16, and
the resolution was therefore laid on the
table
Mr.. Lindsey offered the following resolu-
ton:
WHEREAS. The Congress OF the United
States of America being unable to enact
such legislation rs is necessary for the best
interests and welfare of the people of the
United States OF America without the aid
and counsel OF the Republican members of
the Ohio Senate: And,
WHEREAS. The Ohio Senators are un-
able ~ perform the duties required Of them
at the Capitol by the United States while
being at such great distance therefrom;
therefore;
Be Il resoired by the General Assembly
Of the State of Ohio that they be
and are hereby permitted At once To with
draw from the Senate of Ohio and proceed
to the Capitol of the United States of
where they may give such aid
md counsel TO both branches Of the Fiftieth
Congress now in session at Washington
