THE SPEECH OF GENERA
COONRS.

monday evening, was most eloquent and
triumphant affair. No speaker during the
canvass has made more decided impress;oD ion
than did the eloquent and brave KentncLi-
an. His arguments were. strong; his illus
trations admirable; his descriptive powers
are OF the most graphic aud happy character.
Some OF his figures were eminentlv beanti-
ful. Astounding in anecdote, he kent Tho
audience wide awake,as shout aft v sbont f,I.
ly testified. The relations of his personnl u
experience during the last war, on our north.
ern frontier were ofhigb, absorbing interest.
The moral effect upon the nation of Cen.
ScoTT's brilliant victories at Chippewa and
Lundy's Lane was glowingly and beautifully
portrayed. We have not room to give de-
tailed statement Of his speech. It will be
remembered with pride and pleasure by the
vast assembly that listened to its delivery.

ARISTOCRATIC DEMOCRACY

A large number Of Irish Laborers, having
published card over their own signatures
sating that Pierce has done nothing for Cath
olic Emancipation, the New Hampshire Pa
triot, Pierce's paper, thus talks of the sign
crs:-
CoNTEMPTIBLE GAME.-Slieyegammon Rob-
nson has been burrUwing here with the
whecl-barrow man, and other fit associates;
and in Dover, Manchester, and other places,
getting up certificates" in behalf Of Scott,
among the Irish. The result is before the
public in the shape Of lists of Irish names ap-
pended to false statements against General
Pierce, and in favor of General Scott.
"WHEEL BARROW MEN" will show
this Pierce organ that, out of New Hamp-
shire, they can vote as well as other men,
and will repudiate the Pierce Aristocracy.

Gen. Scott to Gen. Paez, soon after the

DEAR GEKERAL:-Our friend, Lieut.. Col.
/ Young is on the point Of returning to Co
! lumbia, and will do me the favor to explain
/ to you how our correspondence has been in
terrupted, and the lively interest take in
the three fine boys you have done us the
honor to send among us 70. their education.
/ The President deemed this circumstance SO
( fattering to the United States, that follow.
ing up his kind feelings for a sister Repub-
lie, he Immediately ordered, with the appro.
baton of Col. Young, that the boys should
as they successfully attained the proper
age, be admitted into our National Military
Seminary, on footing with our own ca
diets. The eldest of the three will join in q
few days, and shall have the pleasure o1
being present and rendering him all the as.
sistaDce in my power. You may rely on o
continuance Of those attentions to him, and
also, to the other two, who are placed a,
school near my headquarters.
We have heard, with deep regret, of the
loss Of two of your ships of war, in an ac
ton with much superior force. Thanh
God, however, your independence and lib
critics are placed beyond the reach of foreign
aggression. In n few years more our con
tinent cannot fail to be occupied wholly by
republics. Liberty seems also likely tt
spread over large portion OF Europe, ant
among its gallant asserters, the Columbian
army certainly occupies foremost posi-
ton.
Permit me, General, TO say th,t shall n
all times be happy to hear from you, unt
that am, with great personal admiration
and esteem,
Your obedicnt servcnt,

DEATH OF Mr.. JOHN KELso.-This per-
son, who, it will be recollectcd, fell, on
Thursday afternoon, from the pole erected
by our Democratic citizens, near the upper
leyec, after suffering intensely, died last
night. His remains will he inferred to
morrow Sunday morning, al nine O'Clock,
by the l. o. o. f. Of Muskingum Lodge, of
which society he was lutely member.
Aaother.-We learn that second death
occurred from the accident at the pole rais-
ing at Jacktown, Licking county, where
several persons were injured.
We think, in view Of the danger OF rails
ing poles, as we see in the number of acci-
dents almost daily occurring, and the small
benefits derived from the same, that the
practice would be better "honored in the
breach than in the observance" Zanes.

The appropriation Of last winter to cover
100000, may be found in last winters laws,
page 325-27, at the Office Of any justice of
the peace in your township. Compare it
with the Wing appropriation of only $780,
600, for the same purpose, March 2, 1916.
Thus il will be seen that the entire ex-
penses of legislation, under Wing rule, a.
mounted, for + ur years, only to the sum Of
$l62, ,046, or an average of $40,509; while
for four moaths, under "Democrt tic'' rule,
the expenses were Sll5,l50--an excess of
$74,509 per annum, or nearly three times as
much under Democratic as under Wing ad-
minstration.
Add TO this, that the same Legislature
meets again in few weeks, to renew its
attacks upon the Treasury; that it will
probably continue during the winter; and If
we may Judge Of its future by its past action,
not less than quarter Of n million of dollars
will be required to pay the entire expenses
oflhese reckless and extravagant men.
These facts carry with them their COM
mentary. They demonstrate, more clearly
than any other system Of argument, the
true character and value of this Democratic
cry Of love for economy and reform, and regard
for the taxpayers of the State. They
prove conclusively that the people are pay
ing dear for the privilege Of being ruled by
such men and such a party.
Let the voters of Ohio calmly examine this
subject, and see il there is any good reason
for this extraordinary increase in the expen.
ses of Legislation. Let them decide whether
the empty cry of"Democracy and Reform"
will compensate for the reckless and prodi-
gal expenditures of money which is here
shown, and whether they will, by their votes
sustain and continue such extravaganl

Thc LegIslalion Of Iast Winter,

CITIZENS OF ONO; The time approaches
when you win be called upon to select, by
youryotes various officers to fill places Of
high trust in the Counties, State, and Ma.
ton; the highest and most important Of all
being that ofPresident Of the United States.
The greatest privilege which we enjoy, that
Of choosing our own rulefe, is to be exercis-
ed and 1t devolves upon every sincere pa
triot, as a solemn duty, to consider carefully
and deliberately, without reference 10 mere
party ties, the positions occupied by various
candidates for election.
With a view to a just decision, let the fol-
lowing facts receive a candid and impartial
consideration
On the adoption of the New Constitution,
a Legislature was elected, which was COM
posed of alarge majority Of the party styling
itself Democratic. 1t was the boast of the
Statesman and other kindred papers, that
"the Constitution was in the hands of its
friends" Large promises were made as to
the reforms that were to be introduced. The
tUes were 10 be lessened; the expenses Of
/ government were to be diminished; the in
terest of the farmers and laborers were to be
specially regarded; and improvements were
to be made in every department of govern
ment.
How have these professions been redeem
ed! Let brief narrative of facts furnish
the answer. The Legislature convened,
and continued in session one hundred and
twenty days. Their action was such, as to
become the subject ofcommon talk with per-
sons of all parties. They passed a smaller
number Of well-coasidered and well-digest-
ed laws than any legislative body which has
/ aeeap.hlal Thaty cOununikted a
series of gross blunders, which their most
! ingenious friends cannot defend. But last OF
all, they increased the expenses of legisla-
ton by voting money into their own pock-
cts, to an enormous and dangerous extent
to an extent far greater than ever before
known; and far greater than they could have
done, if the least regard had been paid to
the interests ofthe people-the taxpayers OF
the State.
Consider the facts in detail:
! lst. They increased their own pay from
three dollars per day-the sum formerly paid
Ito four.
3D. They greatly increased the number
Of Clerks, Sergeants-at-arms, Messengers
&C., and increased their pay from three to
four dollars per day.
Sd. They increased the expenses of the
Public Printing enormously, to put money
into the hands Of partisan printer, in viola.
ton of the Constitution.
4th. They wasted their time to such an
extent, that they left work imperfecty exc
cuted; and although the new Constitution
provides for only biennial Legislatures, they
adjourned to meet again in November next
to pass away another winter at the expense
Of the tarpaying people.
These were their reforms-thcse the i'm
provements which they introduced for the
benefit ofthe farmers and laborers of Ohio
But let us look further.

were quortered on the public, and consumed

enemy's cannon, were now black with men,
and lluttering with colors of his own regi-

cheers rolled toward heaven. he passed
