Franklin County, the other day. to

the Convention on the ground that
it was packed and not fairly gotten up.
Mr.. Bowen withdrew from the
Conyention and asked his friends to
go with him, which they did. "a

that. perhaps it might bolster it up for

LOG, $50 voters pay less sum in local
taxes than is paid by 59,546 voters in
the thirteen Democratic Counties, the
rate in the latter being s271 Is per vo-
ter, and in the former $14 so, but lit
tie overhaul so much. II
The Special School tax is not
properly included in the amount of
local taxation ,eas 1t is not kused for
the current expenses of the County,
but applied to the building of school
houses and other incidental school
expenses. In the thirteen Democrat
ic Counties the Special School taxes
levied is $l46, 236 ~. or 50 A45 to each
voter; in the twenty Republican
Counties, .levying less aggregate tax
than the Democratic Counties, the
amount of the Special School tax is
1881 $50 OF, or So 81. to each voter.
1t will thus be seen that while the
Democratic County officials levy bur-
dens grevious to be borne for all
other purpose they tax very lightly
for Common Schools, that enemy of
unadulteratcd Democracy. IF we de-
duct the Special School taKsfrom the
County taxation, which is no part of
the current expenses, we have for gen.
eral County expenditures in Demo-
cratic,C Counties s24 20 per voter. and.
in the Republican Counties 81 80.
We desire to follow up one item of
Mr. NEWCOMERS Investigation with a
little more particularly. In the
-EiTst District Indiana and
Vanderbnrgh Counties more correctly
than any others represent the admin
istration of the two parties. Ever
since the palmy days of the old Wing
party Knox County has been unwa-
vering in its support of the Dem
ocracy. For six or eight years Van
derburgh has. with an occasional
reverse, voted in favor of the Union
party; though the Board of Com
missioners has not always been anti
Democratic, but was when the last
tax-levy was made The two. eoun-
ties for the last year report to the
State Auditor as follows: -
No. Voters. Local Taxes
N Nad is County. s.Sa sol s. s.
From which it appears that the
County taxes in Knox County were
$31 30 for every voter. and in Van
derburgh County SIS OF. But upon
examining the Auditors Report we
find that nearly osse-third of the
amount levied by Vanderburgh
County was for the Special School
tax, to-wit, s3O,661 81; leaving for
the general County Expenditures
So, 483 Oh, or SO 81 for every voter
In Knox County the amount levied
for Special School tax was
1888 80 > leaving sfsrsK general
County expenditures slf7,774 80,
or $29 II for every voter. In ! the
Democratic county of Knox it costs
each voter s29 IL to pay the office
holders, &C.. and the beggarly pit
lance ofS1 96 to support the Conn
mon Schools. In the Union county
of Vanderburgh it costs each voter
but so "a for officers salaries and the
other general county expenses, and
81 81 for Common School. There is
no comparison which can more strik-
ingly illustrate the spirit of the two
parties. While the Democracy are
levying heavy burdens upon the
people to feed brood of hungry
