RANpALL's "PoP COCK" AT DIscoUNrl
The Waupaca Register has long been the
organ of the Republican party in Waupaca
county. 1t entered into the present can
vass with the whole republican ticket,
floating at the mast head, and bid fair to
render efficient aid to the Republican can
didates during the campaign. But the
editor has examined the charges against
| Randalps Administration, and has witness
| ed the abortive attempts of "Windy
Bean and Mr.. Treasurer Hastings, to ex-
plain them, and is satisfied that Repubi-
canism is delusion and a snare. He an
nounces in his last issue, that he has taken
down the names of the Republican candi-
dates, and raised those of the democratic
nominees in their place, and proceeds to
give his reasons at length for taking such
a step. In the first place, he never sym
pathized with them on any question, ex-
cept that Of slavery extension. He is OPP
posed to the extention of slavery, and sup
posed at the time he joined the republican
party that they were more likely to pre-
vent its extention than the democratic par
| ty. Subsequent events have convinced
him of his error, and he enumerates the
various shifts and turns Of the republican
party, which have satisfied him that no re-
lance can safely be reposed in them, even
on that question. lis second point is
that
In the State of Massachusetts,, that is
wholly under the control of the republi-
can leaders, they degrade man offoreign
birth below the lowest African In that
State the negro may vote and hold Office,
without a wherefore, while the foreign
born are enslaved in their political rights.
This is but sample of large class, and
we will not multiply statements.
Sd Above and beyond all these are
matters pertaining to our State affairs
| We have been waiting some time in hopes
of being enlightened on these-(to the
people Of this State) the most important
of all matters. The Republicans vehe-
mently denounced, and we thought wisely
the great extravaganza of Barstow's ad-
ministration, when the State expenses run
up to $4,000 per annum. 1t had been
charged, and with some considerable basis
for truth, that the State expenditures of
| 1859, amounted to over 100000 We
could hardly credit this, and we thought
best to wait until the official figures were
produced, and then Judge for ourselves
In the mean time, Messrs. Carpenter and
Bean have been among us and in public
meeting the mystery has been unravelled
by statement of facts and figures from
official sources, which are usually beyond
the reach Of our rural publications.
Last Saturday evening, those gentlemen
took the rostrum in our Court House, be-
fore large audience, to enlighten us on
the subject. We regret that Mr.. Carpen-
ter was forced into personal matters by
Mr.. Bean, who seems to have been sent
out, not SO much to attack Mr.. C.'s posi-
tons, statements, and documents as to
attack him personally, in his private mat
tiers, with the evident intention of absorb
ing his tinrv much possible, n, d pre-
venting him from making an exhibit of our
State finances. But Mr.. G. says he always
holds some "trumps" in every game that
he is forced to play with Mr.. Bean. He
made very acceptable excuse to the au-
dience, but said he should be the last one
to cry "quit.'
Mr.. Carpenter presented the financial
condition of the State very clearly. 1--WE
shall publish the figures in tabular form
next week, as certified to by the Secretary
of state.) Itappears by the official figures
that the permanent appropriations neces-
sary to detray the expenses of Randall's
Administration for the present year, in
sum total is *63 025; actual or approx
mate amount s64 ,925.
Legislative expenses, $50, 150; actual or
approximate amount, S103,13O.
Miscellaneous, 1888, so IS; actual or
approximate amount, S476,074 SO.
Additional Items, $50, $50
Making grand total of SOL, 900. and
a trif1e over.
To meet this expense Of $701,000, a
republican Legislature levied tax of $780,
OOO-exclusive of the special tax for school
libraries and to pay interest on State loan.
The object of this inadequate tax was to
blind the people to'the extravaganza of the
party in power, with special reference to
the coming election. No wonder the peo-
pie are crying out for new rulers.
The only essential objection Mr.. Bean,
who it is said is the ablest republican
speaker in the State, made to these figures
was to the S160 for speaker pro tenn Of the
Assembly (Which Mr.. c. admitted was an
expense Of last winter) and the stationary
item which was shown by the report of Mr..
Parks In addition to the above, Mr..
Carpenter adduced the following items
which were omitted in he estimate
Governors Contingent Fund, $4,000
Loan to University, 10000
1000
And then the following which he took
from tabular statement in the Journal as
additional to the Secretary's table:
Rent of City dali Madison, $1,000
State Board of Equalization, 1,410
Additional for Secretary's office, 1891
g Per diem of members, 2,195
" to Madison Gas Co, 1900
(and SO cents --
y, 165
and ninety six csnts-making the sum of
$50. 165 SO which he added to his former
undeniable figures (70l,O00 81 from the
