LANING RESOLUTION.
The Proposed Constitutional Con-
ventiOn an Important Matter.

COLUMBUS, April 10.-The Senate
joint resolution calling for a consti-
tutional convention which passed
the House yesterday was one Of the
most important pieces of legislation
that has been accomplished by this
General Assembly. The plan for
changes in the constitution are
especially to enable future legisla-
lures to make more effective taxa
tion laws, laws that will reach all
classes and that will stand in the
courts. The proposition to hold
the convention is to be voted upon
by the electors of the state at the
November election in 1897, and. of
course, if the convention is held the
changes to be made will probably be
many and along various lines. The
Laning resolution is as follows:
Resolved, By the General Assembly
of the state of Ohio, two-thirds of
the members elected to each branch
concurring, that it is necessary to
call a convention to revise, amend
or change the constitution of this
state, and we recommend to the cleo
tors to vote at the next election for
members to the General Assembly,
to be held on the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in November A. D.
1897, for or against such conven-
tion, to be convened in the year 1898.
The deputy state supervisors of cleo
ton are authorized to have printed
on all official ballots under each par
tv emblem the words Constitutions
al Convention-No". When the
words above are printed upon the
official ballot, the choice Of the cleo
tor in the affirmative may be ex-
pressed by cross mark in the circu-
lar space above the name of the par
ty in the manner of voting a straight
ticket, and all tickets having a cross
mark in such place shall be counted
in the affirmative, or such affirmative
vote may be expressed by cross
mark opposite the line containing
the words Yes" and the choice of an
elector in the negative may be eX-
pressed by cross mark opposite the
line containing the word No" If
in any county the deputy supervisors
decide not to print the words above
on the official ballot, the vote shall
be by separate ballot, and deposited
in separate ballot bax, as is pro-
vided in Section 1S in the election
laws. And the state supervisors Of
elections are hereby authorized to
do such acts as are necessary to pro-
vide for the submission and deter
lnination of the questions as afore-
said,

AT last the Hard bill has become a
law, as it naturally would under Re-
publican guidance, for it talIies with
Republicans ways and means to q T.
The new law provides that voter
shall not receive any assistance in
marking his ballot unless he is phys
ically unable to do so. The Republi-
can legislature might just as we'll
passed law requiring an education
al qualification, for this law implies
the same thing. The new law guar
antees the doubling up of mistakes
made at the polls under the Australi-
an system, which really means the
disqualification of thousands of vo-
ters. These voters go through the
form of voting, but they have no
voice in the election, as their ballots
are thrown out by the judges. But
such is Republicanism.

A LAW has been passed by the leg
islature which provides that the name
of any candidate shall not be placed
in more than one place on the ticket.
This is to prevent having the name
of candidate on the ticket in two or
three places where he has been in
dorsed by different parties. Under
this act if candidate is indorsed by
more than one party he must select
the banner under which he will make
the race, and his name can only ap-
pear in the ticket of that party. The
law is all right.

while the third, composed of colored
