THE OHIO MIDDLE.
A sharp Message from Gov. Ctmpbeil
 in tho IegiAlnlure.


 CoLuMBrs, O., October 22.--The House this morning adopted resolution as the [ sense of the body that no slight or insult was intended on the part of the House in the refusal of the Speaker to accept the Governors message yesterday evening, and appointing committee to call upon the Governor and request that the message | again be sent to the House. Gov. Camp bell compiled with the request. The mes sage is as foliows
 To the Gcueral Assembly: You were summoned hcre to perform plain and i'm. perative duty. After special session of several days, having becu unable to agree upon the form of relief for the City of Gin cinnati some further suggestions arc in order ' It is recommended that in lieu of tho present Board of Public Inn proven 'nts. non partisan board De | created, to be appointed by the Mayor, who as the executive head of tho city gov ernmcnt, ought 10 be responsible for it's boards and, having himself been elected by tho people of that city, such appoint ment would be in conformity to the doctiiGe of home rule.h
 Since you assembled 1t has been clearly demonstrated that, although no pains or expense has been spared to send lobby here to mislead and intimidate you, no body in thc City of Cincinnati could be found for that pll lpose other than those having direct personal interest in said board. This sufficiently proves how low tn board itself has fallen in public estimation, Let the handful of schemers who arc scuilinE In the dirt oofore you, hoping for some petty personal gain, be overlooked Remember the great body Of the people of Ohio, who stand amazed at the scene en- acted here last week, who have read with disgust that notorious lobbyists sat in the h.,ft AF J stxxr votes and speeches of members, and who arc fast learning to despise those who ob struct honest government and home rule. The plain duty before you Is to permit no deviation from the path marked out Let no spacious amendments or changes be per. mitted Do not swerve a hairs breadth from your pdrpose to wipe out the board and eventually submit the whole question to the people From this time on any and all propositions other than this are meant for partisan advantage only. There Is no middle ground. To delay longer Is a con fcssion of incaplcity, to refuse the passage Of the bill Is confession Of iuiidclfty.
 JAMES F. CAMPBELL,
 Governor of Ohio.
