Another Grant Radical Speech
in Canton.
HOLLOWAY'S HOLLOW SOUND.

fairest speech
The speaker on Monday evening was
Mr.. Holloway of the Columbiana Register,
one of the seven or eight radical organs
published weekly weakly in Columbi-
ana county. Holloway has been in the
Legislature and is up for reelection, as is
Rukenbrod of the Salem Rep. for the
Senate. Holloway must be a genius. for
he operates also as real estate agent,
of horse hay rakes, dealer
in lumber and likewise seems disposed
to act as midwife for his dilapidated
friends in Stalk, We fear, great as Hol-
loway's skill may be, it is not sufficient
for this obstetriC case.
His effort on Monday evening was
moving one Peing too dry, uninteresting
and weak to hold the audience. Under
the circumstances his wind gave out in
about one hour, though his venom did
not. In short, brother Holloway's effort
was very poor failure.
The burden of his twaddle was of
THE LATE LEGISLATURE.
Mr., Holloway was a member himself
and spoke Of his fellow members on
Monday evening in way he never dared
to do in the House at Columbus.
For instance, like fool or a knave, he
vaunted the glories of Auditor of State
Williams, Republican, in preventing as
he said, the Democratic majority making
a SALARY grab" referring to the per diem
of members during the five days holiday
recess. The facts are the per diem was
omitted on the motion of Mr.. Sherrick
of Stark and Holloway and his Republi-
can fellows generally cursed and swore at
Sherrick, and near the close of the ses-
sion tried to vote the pay but the Demo-
Gratis prevented it, Holloway lodging
the vote. Mr.. Holloway ought to know
better than to talk about state officer,
confronting or opposing the will of
General Assembly
THE SINKING FUND.
Holloway's twaddle about tie sinking
Fund was also greatly out of joint The
previous Republican Legislature in dis
regard of the Constitution of the state,
which requires this fund to be applied
on the State Debt, used FOUR HUNDRED
AND FIFTY FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS,
squandering it, on the Central Lunatic
Asylum. When Governor Allen and the
Democrats came in to power, they found
the walls of the Asylum half up, and
having been exposed to the weather and
poorly built, were crumbling down. The
work was $50 defective the walls had to
be mostly rebuilt with new brick. This
was large loss to the state as the con-
tractors were Republican favorites and
irresponsible. We take pleasure in say
ing that this magnificent edifce is nearly
completed and of course has required
large appropriations from the Democratic
General Assembly. 1t contains 400
rooms, and is probably the largest in the
world.
In addition to this the Northern Asy-
lum had to be rebuilt mostly, in conse-
quence of the fire, and this has also re-
quired heavy appropriations, Notwith-
standing these heavy expenses, the tax
alton for state purposes was diminished
by the late Democratic General Assembly
over ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS
These FACTS, Mr.. Holloway did not
state, neither did he refer to Grants
Salary Grab" nor the Credit Mobilier
nor the Indian Ring thieves, nor the
Washington ring and Boss Sheppard.
Holloway would rather refer to the
Whipping post i'll the Penl.entiary II. d
warden Innis, Democrat. Now, why
did not Holloway tell the whole truth ?
Why did he not say that the licking
post has always been an institution in
the Penitentiary and has been repeatedly
used by Republican Wardens2 That CO.
ereive means of that kind must be resor-
ted 10 at times with the bad culpirts that
get there?
Of course he did not refer to the case
if a convict under Mr.. 1nnis's Republican
predecessor, this convict was confined
for weeks in miserable dungeon and
when taken out to be conveyed to the
Hospital fell dead near the door!
We only refer to this to show how
hard pressed the radical Grant Morton
speakers are for argument,
His reference to the Wood county in
vestigation was equally mean and un-
worthy as was his stuff about the Toledo
bill. The Toledo bill failed, although it
should have passed, and the charges
against the members who voted on the
county seat removal in the Wood county
case failed most signally and the House
so voted overwhelmingly. Mr.. Hollo-
way was the active assistant on the COM
mittee of Gordon, and.did his best there.
to defame his fellow members. The
dirty scheme was just worthy of the po-
litical vagabonds engaged in it.
Doctor Scott, member from Warren
county, for many years, and Republic
can leader, now Grants consul at Homo
lulu said, the late Democratic General
Assembly was as whole the most sober,
moral, honest and fair body of men he
had ever served with.
