The Message Of Gov. Chase is admir-
cd by all, and shows him to be, what his
friends claim fot him; the great and wor-
thy man Of the West. His expo SO Of
the finances Of tho STATE, shows that he
lis at home, when discussing questions
Of business, as we'll as when pressing the
great question Of "frss soil and free
men"
The reports Of the Auditor and Treas
urer are brief, but clear and uucquivocal,
in their facts and suggestions. The Buck
men in old Seneca claimed before the e.
lection that Bre lin had cashed over to his
successor.
Mr.. Gibson was charged with misrep
rosentation for presenting the facts be-
fore the people. He has putt down in
Ihis report, and showed that Bresln
sunk sqo4. 4.0s7,97, by deposiling with
defunct Banks and Bankers, and that he
claims s2l.95L33, for exchange, making
s225,ei0,3o, uuaecountod for, to the
present Treasurer Let Mr.. Breslin's
friends "piich in" now. How will the
Buck Democracy relish such waste Of
their cash? The documents show that
whilst tho late Locofoco Auditor and che
Treasurer, report s7O3, 900 in the
Treasury November Is 1855, theIe was
in fact not money enough on hand to pay
their debts by near s2) 900.
The facts Of these reports should be
presented to every voter in Ohio. When
you and the Republicans Of your coun-
try last fall exhibited the reckless expen-
ditures and disregard Of duty, on the
part Of the Locofoco party, you were
branded as slandererS Let them look at
the l4th and 18th pages Of the Cover
nor's Message. What debts have we
paid? On account Of Canals si38.oo0,

lum sac, 534. Swans Statutes $780,
90 making IS ,37s, ,65; and about $780,
ooo yet to pay. So that including the
amount yet in the hands Of Breslin or at
least not paid over. and including debts IL
legally contracted, tho Treasury was
s8l9 ,oo0 worse, on the l5.h Of Novem-
Der 1855, than the figures in the reports
shown. These reports for 1886, viii be
examined with care by the people. as
they present fulland honest expose Of
our 6uances. SO great is the demand for
copies Of the Message that large edition
has been ordered by individuals. OF the
three COMMITTEES appointed last winter
to examine the public accounts, but one
has reported. ..
The others will report this Woek. The
Committee on Canals have reported It
is a lengthy expose, of frauds and Off
oial villanios upexanplod in one histo-
ry.
The report shows that the repairs

thus been compelled to pay this great
sum in taxes, respond 70 tho frauds and
rascalities Of weak aud wicked LocOfoco

Let their crimes be exposed. These
men viii still cry economy. whilst their
pockets are filed with the gold of the
people.
The Report Of tho Committee on the
State House and Asylums will be the
richest of all, and win give you some
items, from It as soon as il is made.
