Adjournment and Critique of Ohio Legislature Session

The Ohio Legislature adjourned at 2 o'clock on Tuesday after a protracted session of about 100 days. Critics condemn the Democratic majorities for high spending, delayed reforms, and partisan bills, noting costs of at least $100,000 and new offices while opposition looms on matters of suffrage and court expansion. The piece also covers Reform pledges, tax changes, and the controversial emergence of the “nigger question” and other socio-legal debates.
