Mass Meeting.


The republican meeting at the court house
in Perrysburg on Wednesday evening last,
was all that could have been asked or expect
ed. J. S. Norton presided. The house was
well filled, and the speaking was able and
convincing frequently eloquent. Mr.. Kim
ball spoke first, and made thorough expo
sition of the wickedness of the Kansas busi
ness and the Pierce administration. He is
a plain, straightforward speaker, establish
ing his points forcibly and thoroughly. He
not support slavery, as that party does in all
its national platforms and as national par
ty.
He was followed by Mr.. Chase, in one of
the best and most eloquent political speech
es we have heard for years. His intimate
knowledge of the men and measures of the
state and nation, and his answering oppo
sition to the strides of the slave power, give
him command of the subject, and the many
active years he has devoted to it, and his
great abilities as a man, enable him to ham
die it with dexterity which few other men
possess. He is most devoted republican,
and a worthy leader of the party. We have
neither time nor room to attempt even sy-
nopsis of his speech. 1t was deeply inter
esting, and was listened to and appreciated
by large audience, for two hours.
Mr.. Gibson made speech of the most
humorous and telling sort, which was listen
ed to by large numbers till after IL o'clock
at night with unabated interest. He is the
most unique and mirth- provoking speaker
we have heard since 1910, when Gen. Muir
phey, of Chillicothe, and Tom. Corwin were
on the stump. ...

THE MODEL OF NoAH's ARK.-The /" Sail
ors Magazine" says that the largest steam
ship now plying on she Atlantic, bears pre-
cisely the proportions in length, bread h and
depth, that are recorded concerning Noah's
ark. The dimensions of the Atlantic steam
ers are-lenglh 322 feet, breadth of beam 90
feet, depth 28A feet. The dimensions of the
ark were-length 300 cubits, breadth 80 Gu
bits, depth 30 cubts. The ark, therefore,
was nearly twice the size, in length, breadth
and depth, of those vessels, the cubit being
nearly % inches; both had upper, lower and
middle stories. After all the experiments of
AZ centuries, which have elapsed since the
deluge the ship-bulders have to return to
the model afforded by Noah's ark.

TheWashington correspondent of the New

versy is going on, between the Secretary of
War and Gen. Scott, in regard to the six
months leave of absence granted by the latter
to Gen. Hitchcock. The Secretary counter
manded Gen. Scotps permission, at the same
time demanding his reason for granting it,
Gen. Scott responded by stating that he was
not responsible to the Secretary in such cases
for his actions, and he would hereafter oblige
by addressing official communications to
him through the President, to whom, alone,
he was responsible. The correspondence is

@s-The democratic speeches at the cour


&s-The democratic speeches at the court
house on Thursday night were but poor at
tempt to answer those of the republican
speakers of the night before. Col. McCook's
tax statistics did not touch the point at is
sue at ALL To be sure he showed that the
great bulk of taxation in the state was for
other purposes than to pay himself and his
confederates for administering the govern
ment of the state; no one has pretended
otherwise. But he did not show that the
state government is administered now as
cheaply as formerly, because he could not.
Every department of government, executive,
legislative and judicial, has greatly increas-
ed, almost doubled its expenditures since
1850. This fact he skipped over entirely, it
This vast increase, we contend, is altogether
unnecessary and improper. Take few ex-
amples:
INCREASED ExPENsEs.-Looka at the follow
ing increase of public expenses of our state
since it has been under the control of this
slavery loving, tax-levying democQcy:
The expense of the judiciary in 1851 was
1923, ,l47; in 1858 the tax payers paid for the
same purpose Ss5l ,59l-increase 1923, ,444!
In 1851 the expense of the legislature was
1855, ,372; in 1853 it was 1919 ,507-increase
1924, ,135!

general assembly, the following appropria

OTTAWA COUNTY REGIsTER,--We have
received the first number of this paper, pub
lished at Port Clinton, in our neighboring
county. 1t is edited by G. T. Smead, and
politically embraces the championship of

biography is beautiful, and it is every way
creditable to its publishers. We trust it

democratic party now in power, and to do
this, he claimed that the actual expenses Of
the state government proper were
"Only 5000 ,S5O.9S!!'
Quite parade is IN ade, in the lOcofoco
prints of the day, of he fact that notwith-
standing the whole amount of taxes in the
state in 1884 was $9 100000 and upwards,
yet, the actual outlay for general revenue
purporses was " only S6O6S50 98.' Now for
locofocos this may be low, and it may be
their design in future to increase this sum
but we are in the habit of comparing the
pro1igacy of modern expenditures with good
old times when men were wiling TO serve
the " dear people" in the legislature for S3
per day, and the expenses of the state, inclu-
ding benevolent institutions, were only about
one third what they are now. Let us rake
up some old figures and see where the dem
ocratic administration of 1885, with their
"only $606, ,85098' will stand.

There reader, you have the plain facts be-
fore you---a bare statement of the general
revenue expenses for eight years. Compare,
for instance, 1916 with 1854. In the former,
under aUhig rule the expenses were $l93,223
Sc in the latter, under the rule of the Me
dill administration, they We're more than
three times as much, or 5000, $50 9S!
1t is the siliest absurdity to attempt to
get up a great smoke about extravagant local
authorities, and think to escape under its
cover. Such dodge is too old, and the peO
pie are not to be deceived We charge upon
the new constitution, and the miserable leg
islation under it, the curse OF our being ground
to death by taxation. In proof OF our as
serton we offer the following:
State tax in 1852, $l,776,536 6S
1858, 3026,3 323 81
u Here we have difference in one year of
J 81 .249 1877 24 which difference is more than
the entire state tax in 1916 or 1877. Was
it local extravaganza which caused this in
creased outlay? Did local authorities in
crease the state tao A MILLION AND QUARTER

Mr.. McCook made no comparisons of this
sort, doubtless thinking comparisons are
odious.' He left the tax question in very
unsatisfactory manner, although protesting
"a desire for fairness and thorough acqaint

He then proceeded TO crltlclsc Mr.. Chase'S
