of your principal charges against the

You state that they (the General

ple"forsaIarie8, 5 fees,- and expenses; of
at least $75,000 per aunnm." Theg did

three of which were in Republican

They also provided for an inspector
oTTsteam boilers, whose salary should
be2,000. .. ';'-!; : " :' " ;
i In- 'diir-"lail! Annual -messase I find
the following recommendation :'j; "I
submit to yoirr' -consideration the im
portance of providrurf for a thoroush.
and comprehensive geological .survey
of the State. Alany yearr ago a par
tial1' snrVey u wasr prosecoted, ' under
many difficulties and embarrassments,
which was fruitful of valuable result8.a

its cost." .j-i.i. i-i.
' Pursuant - to this recommendation,
Mr.' Leei of -Delaware,' introduced a
bilf providing for a geological snrrey
of the State. It authorizes the ap-
poWBBeWDlhir ldTeTh6r6f one
principal geologist and three assist
ants. This bill passed, aud i the law
of the State, and you have made the
appointments underJt, The annual

unless you inten iStHtyilrelude the ad
ditional trustees jfou the Miami Uni
versity and the trustees Of the Reform
School for girls, all of whom serve
without pay. .;m .v.y v ...
Permit me further to call your at-
tsntipiv to auother recommendation in
your messes, which is as follows :
: - lbe iuterfistiK oi aommon- school
education, in my opinion, will be pFP'
moted Dy tne early adoption or county
superintendency, as provided in a bill
on that subject bow pending in one
branch of tftfl- general Assembly. !
therefore eapiiestlv. recommend the
consideration ahd passage of the bill."
Had this bill been passed in pursu
ance uyBiiv ieoimnendation,ri ' it
would. AftTecwwe letsUty-Bure new
offices, at a yearly cost of uot less
than $2,008 for each superintendent.
The bill was fully considered, but the
General Assembly did "not deem it ex
pedient fovpass ifc '
vnen you state that." sixty or sev
enty, aiflerent acts were passed au
thorizing.' debts,; to .be contracted
amounting in the aggregate -to more
th,fe25JIO0,00, and that they
passed sevtnty or eighty act by which
additional taxes were Authorized to
tlie arooant at eyep $1000,000,'? I do
not know what ypu mean, fop no such
numboi" of acts as yon specify is to be
fonnd in the statntes of 1888-0. You
seem to- be' 'as' careless . in. fixing the
amount of local levies provided for as
in the'humber of acts passed, neither,
of which bear any suoolflo rolijtiaili to

a bridge. -sweptway by JiigbwtvCer,"
therawiu no means of rebuildingit,
except toy application to the ueneral
Assembly to authorize a special levy
for-such purposes. There were up
wrrds of eleven hundred bills iutro--duced
into the Fitty-eigbth General
Assembly, a very large portion of
which were to authorize special lev
ies. '-This evil'was seen andfelt,'es
peciallyby the committees to which
the bills were referred. It was con
ceded that the General Assembly
would need to be in perpetual session
to act intelligently upon all such bills.
In Older to avoid this vicious system
of special legislation consequent upon
the restrictive policy - adopted by for
mer Legislatures, measures of general
legislation were 'devised and passed
into laws, covering" the whole matter
of .levies for the erection . of town
houses, courthouses, jails, infirmaries,
bridges and uniou school houses. In
addition to these may be included the
fc Municipal Code," Which provides a
complete, system : of government .for
villages and cities; and a system of
finance that effectually supercedes the
whole system of special legislation.
By a reference-to the former it will be
scea that these measures of general
legislation, were supported and op
posed alike by Democrats and Repub
licans. "While these measures were
chiefly - introduced b y y Democratic
members, the real legislators of your
own parly; (I allude. to: such men as
Colonel Pond, Messrs. Canfield, Dix
6u and Dennis, of the House, and
to Messrs. Bnrr'ows and Everett,: of
tlie -Senate) were active and efficient
in maturing the bills, and in the advo
cacy of their passage... , r
'; "i bu further charge that " they (the
Legislature) added to the State liabil
ities for various purchases, about $1,
500,000." A decent regard for candor
aud fair dealing would have required
you-to make the further statement
that' the rebuilding of the Central
Lunatic Asylum, at a cost of $400,000,
the rebuilding of the old Blind Asy
lum at a cost of 240,000 : tlie comriln-
tion of the , new asylum at Athens,
and the completion of the new Deaf
and Dumb Asylum &t Columbus ; the
establishment of a Reform' School for
girls; the erection : of new buildings
on the Reform Farm near Lancaster;
the payment of a judgment in favor
of the assignee of the Ohio Life and
Trust Company; and provision for
nearly half a million deficiency in th
State Treasury, were all extraordina
ry expenses as well as the Aloi-cran
Raid Claims Of nearly S600.000, "the
present payment ot whicn'-seems to
have been vetoed bv the AttoriW-
Gencral.:..! -.!-:?!;
These provisions are what von have
seen proper totei-m reckless andvn
necessary expenditures.' Be that as it
may, all these acts providing for these
unnecessary expenditures" were
generally supported by Republican as
by-Democratic members. I suspect
that if these "reckless and tinnenpMnru
expenditures " had not been made, the
cry Would, have gone forth-from the
23rd of June Convention that a Dem
ocratic Legislature had refused to
make provision: for the ;unfortiinnt-
insane, and for- the care of the blind,
and for thej reformation of young fe-
maies wuu are on uie nignway to de-'
