Ton Doard. Ills resignation was called
for when the other members OF the
board of the Dayton asylum were ask-
ed to resign, but he did not propose to
do anything of the kind under force.
So he held on. 1t was given out, how
ever, that he was not blamed for any,
thing that had happened to bring scan
'dal upon the institution, and Governor
Nash gave him to understand that 1t
was his purpose to have a new board
entirely, SO all of the old members had
to resign. Governor Nash will ask for
nothing after this term. He is by no
means well man, and It is said that
his ambitions have been satisfied
Aside from that, he has the courage
to correct an evil and in his second
term is going to be exceedingly care
full about scandals, He is proud of
his record thus far, and will not want
to spoil it.
Mr.. Brown, of Paulding, has intro
duced measure to abandon a portion
of the Ohio canal in that section Of
the state. Piece by piece, the canals
are being given over to uses other than
that to which they were intended.
Representative Kinsman, of Trum-
bull, has introduced a bill to centralize
school districts in his county, and pro-
viding for conveyances to take the
children to and from the central
school. 1t is after the fashion of the
New Baltimore bill, and he may there
foro he put down as favoring that
measure. He is one of the strongest
and most influential Republicans in
the house.
Representative Metzgar went home
to spend Saturday and Sunday with
his family. He has not brought his
family here for the winter, though Mrs.
Mctzgar was here during the inaugu-
ration and organization.

Representative Pollock and Mrs. Pol
lock will not go home during the pres
ent recess.
There was a neat bit of repartee in
the house Wednesday. Representative
Gear, of Wyandott, Democrat, had
espoused the cause Of colored boy,
and Mr.. Price, of Athens, while stat
ing that he would vote all right took
occasion to remark on the alleged in
congruity Of Democrat doing some
thing for negro. 1T is the first time
that | ever heard of Democrat doing
for colored man." declared
Mr.. Price. Representative Gear rose in
his seat and pointed to his Grand Army
button. II wore the button of the
Union throughout the war" said Mr..
Gear, and turning to Mr.. Price added
'and you know what that
means" Mr.. Price did not urge the
matter further.
The Democratic supreme commit
tee" has left the appointment of sec
retary to Mr.. CARRIER, chairman of the |
committee. 1t is said that Mr. Salen |
Of Cleveland, will have general idea
who lis to be appointed before the ap-
pointment is made, and 1t is not unlike
ly that Mr.. Salen, who is acquainted |
with Mr.. Johnson, will tell Tom about
it.
The speaker did not appear to notice
the entrance OF your correspondent |
this morning, though he was looking |
in the direction of the approach. It is
feared that there is not going to be any |
result from the mention that, from a |
viewpoint, he looks like the
Honorable Henry w. Harter.
When the Democrats insisted upon
a Republican report, and
substituting the name of colored
youth from Cleveland, as one of the
porters of the house, the Republican |
side kicked vigorously. They didn't
dare to turn him down, and they hated
like sin TO see a "nigger" get anything
that did not come FROM the Republican
side of the house. They have succeed
ed in keeping the negro out of office
except in the matter of few littlet
spittoon jobs, but q IS day position,
with whatever name attached has not
been to their liking. Again, they were
afraid Tom Johnson would build up
some friends among the colored race
In Cleveland, where the young man
Is from, and they are very fearful Of
Tom. The whole fact is that, unless
he is Republican, niger is just
\ common niger, and even commoner
Il he is Republican.
