To he General assembly:
You were summoned here to perform a plain
and imperative duty. After a special session OF
several days, having been unable 30 agree upon
form Of relief for the city OF Cincinnati, some
further suggestions are In order
IL Is recommended that, In lieu Of the present
board of public improvements, a non -partisau
board be created, to be appointed by the mayor.
who, as the executive head of the city governs
mont. ought to be responsible for its boards;
and. having himself been elected by the peoples
OF that city, such an appointment would b. in
conformity to the doctrine of ''home rule"
Since you assembled II has been clearly demcns-
trated that although no pains or expense have
been spared to send lobby here 70 mislead and
intimidate you, nobody in the city Of Cincin4
natl could be found for tuat purpose other than
those having direct personal interest in said
board. This sufficiently proves how low the

Let the handful OF schemers who are scchdns

personal gain bo overlooked Remember the
great body OF the people OF Ohio who stand
amazed at the scenes enacted here last week.

lobbyists sat In the hall OF Legislation, openly
directing the votes and speeches OF members
and, are fast learning to despise those who
obstruct honest government and home rule
The plain duty before you Is TO permit no devi-
stion from the path marked out Let no specious
amendments or changes be permitted. DO nos
swerve hairs breadth from your purpose to
wipe out the board and eventually submit the
whole question TO the people From this tmo
on any and all propositions other than this are
There Is no middle ground To delay longer is a
confession of incapacity. To refuse the passage
OF the bill Is confession of iphdellty.

READ IN THE SENATE.
Gov. Campbells message was read In the
Senate this afternoon and referred.
Following this a stro x attack was made

cinnati, who. in a lengthy speech, con-
demned his course relative to the board of
letter which Gov. Campbell had written at
the time of the appointments expressing the
greatest confidence In Mr. Reemelin, presi-
dent Of the board.
During the session the Senate passed a bill
| providing that Mayor Mosby shall have
the appointment OF the members Of the new
board, and that an election shall be held in
| April. The bill Is no l-partisan in character
and abolishes the present board. There
were only three votes in the Senate against
the bill, all the republicans voting In it's
| favor. The measure is in the line Of Gov.
Campbell's message and substantially
what was asked in the original
message bill. 1t Is believed that IL will pass
the House, as the republican members of
the judiciary committee Of that body have
reported substantially indorsing the COVER
nor's message. The House caucus, con-
trolled by the democrats, is said to be
opposed to the governor, and has agreed
upon bill giving the governor power to
remove for cause only, and fixing an elec-
ton for April There will be a contest In
the House over the two propositions
