Difference against Democrats......642
Now look at the money difference:
Democratic judgments...--...S3l2,7 ,735 95
Republican ......... 60,7S3 90
Difference against Democrats. .S251 .952 80
There is only little over quarter of
a million dollars more of judgments rem
dered in our Court during the last three
years of Democratic administration than
there was under the last three years of
Republican administration. Nearly all
the judgments rendered in 1S57-S-9 drew
10 per cent. interest The poorer class
suffered in greater degree than the
above figures would indicate. had my
office during the year 1857 with H. Ad-
ans, justice of the Peace. He was con-
stantly engaged, from morning to night
suing on debts of less amount than one
hundred dollars.
There was panic in the fall of 1857,
and the results appear in the judgments
rendered during the next year. The
panic of 1873 came also in the fall, and if
it has been so terrible as depicted by
Sam. Cary and others, it should have
cropped out in 1874. Now let US see.

There were 366 more judgments taken
the year after the Democratic panic than
there were the year after the Republican
panic, and the difference in amount
against the Democratic administration
was the enormous sum of $1S1, ,52S 10.
The above figures give but faint idea
of the universal ruin in our town and
county during the last Democratic ad
ministration. Every firm, and every
business man in Jackson failed. True
two or three of them continued business
in the names of brothers, uncles, cou
sins, or some other friend, but no mar
or firm escaped. During that period il
was that the two banks in Jackson, the
, Citizens Bank and the Bank of Tsham
Dyer failed. Diamond Furnace, Young
America. Buckeye, Iron Valley anc
Limestone all went under It was dur
ing this period, 1857, that the last Demo
cratic State Treasurer became involved
used three-quarters of million of the
f public money, was not able to pay it, anc
ran off to Canada. The money has nevel
; been paid, and the taxpayers of tn,
5 State have had to pay it the second time
1t was during this period, 1858, that tn,

$ loaned themselves over ten thousanC

No doubt they intended to replace thi

a transactions doubts a word or figure il
y the foregoing, and he will come to me,
r will take great pleasure in showing hir
d the records.
