The result of the election in Ohio should
have no decisive effect on that pending
in ihi- State There both administrations
had been honest and economical, and
notaint attached to any of the candidates.
Nor is there any special cause for lament
that the opposition have retained one of
their own States by reduced majority, not
withstanding the false issues sprung upon
the people there, the frauds perpetrated up
on The voters, and the lavish expenditure of
money by oiiice-holders and National Banks.
The following table speaks for itself, and
shows an average Republican majority OF

The absurlity of these estimates can be
seen at Il glance. Although corporation
stocks are constantly increasing, vet he esti-
mates the revcuue ON them $lO0, 900 less
than was actually received. Writs, Us many
of you know TO your sorrow, are constantly
increasing, yet the receipts from that source
were uudercStmated S3S,OOO. Bank stock
increases and is Il sure rcycnue,yet he makes
them shrink $4,000. Collateral inheritance
tax cannot decrease, because rs many people
die without direct issue now rs formerly and
yet ii is undcrstated by $4,000. licenses,
although the local option bill has been re-
pealed, is put at S27 600 less than 1874
And 50 on to the end of the list.
One other point, gentlemen, and | am
done. In 1878 committee of three Repub-
licanS and two Democrats was appointed by
the Legislature to ascertain the indebted
ness Of corporation, to the State on account
of taxes ! was made Chairman of the COM
mttee. We were hindered in our investiga-
| ton but unanimously reported that Hartranft,
| then Auditor General, had JAILED to collect
! over 81, ,0O3,0j0 due The state. One cOmpa-
ny paid over ~ once S32 600, and gave as an
! excuse for not having done so sooner, that
| they had reported the amount to the Audi
| tor General and asked for the ordinary
blanks, but no attention had ever been paid
to their report.
And now, Gentlemen, | have done. The
facts and figures | have given you are from
the official records, and accessible to all. Al
the coming election you must decide whether
this extravaganza and corruption shall con-
tinue, or whether by the election of oul
candidates genuine reform shall be insti-
| tuted. With yOa leave the question.
