be opposed to increasing salaries, and
yet he found on page 4O7, same jour

the salary of the Judge Of the Court
of Common Pleas to 81 500 and to in
crease it to $4,000 That he voted to
increase the salary of The Clerks OF
the Legislature from $40 day to S12

to increase the salary Of the Adjutant
General from 81 200 to s. 400 year.

page 656. He said Turner was the
last man to talk about low salaries, in
the face of such record.
Ord lie said Turner, though the
worst species of demagoguerry, made
a great blow that he never owned IA
United States bond He Booze
made no objection to gentlemen for
tuaate enough to own this class Of
property, but it was surprising that
Turner should try to make pc iticai
capital BY asserting that he never
owned a bond in his life, when he
(Boone) could prove by a gentleman
present that Turner was the owner Of
United States bouds.
4th.-He charged that Turner, with
all his boosted service to the Demo-
cratic party, had net voted the Demo
cratic ticket, but one time, in twenty
years, aud then he voted for man
not candidate. lie said he held the
written certificate of officers in Ballard
county, who had examined the poll
books, aud could present the proof to
any one who desired to see it.
5;h.-He charged that Oscar Tur
uer as member of the Senate of Ken
lucky, had proven unfaithful to the
trust reposed in him by the people, by
Gpdging a vote on more than one third
OF the important bills before that body
Whenever Turner had doubts as to
the popularity Of bill his favorite
resort was to Dodge it. H had the
Senate journals and proposed to prove
the charges
6th.-He charges that Turner, as
a member of the Kentucky Senate
had an act passed Incorporating Oscar
aud others as banking, mining aud
railroad company. on Clark's rlver. in
Ballard county, on which the said
Oscar Turner owns an immense body
of land, and that this act gave to him
self (Turner) more arbitrary authority
than is granted to any other similar
company in the State of Kentucky.
7th He made these charges and
Investigations against Col. Turner and
invited comparison with his own
public record. Up to this good hour
OF the canvass, Turner had not assailed

always claimed to be opposed to rail
roads having any exclusive advantages
over the people, yet when it was pro
posed in the Kentucky Senate to place
a tax for county purposes on railroads,
he (Turuer), voted against taxing
them. See Senate Journal 1871, Page
