! The FenltentlaIy, Wnlcn naQ heretofore been
tax upon the state OF at least hfty thousant
dollars per annum, self sustaining
And right here It gives me pleasure to say
that this saving is due, in q great measure, tt
the energy, the ability and the honesty OF my
fellow countyman, MI. Samuel z. Williams
Superintendent of the Penitentiary.
But above all, the greatest thing which the
he-adJusters have accomplished In the way Of
reform, is that they have given such assuran-
ces ola liberal policy as to cause more capital
from abroad to be invested in this State than
had ever before been invested here IN the same
u period of time.
/ think, then, that upon the great issues
OF this campaign, viz A free ballot and o fair
count, the public debt, the free schools, and an
economical administration of the affairs of the
i State, the position OF the Liberal Re-adiuster
party is positive, clear and unmistakable, while
the position of the Bourbon Funder party up
on these issues is uncertain and deceptive
If man really favors free ballot, he knows
Enthusiastically which of the two parties will be
likely to- secure it..
! 1fhe wishes the settlement of the debt on an
equitable basis which will secure low taxes,
his only hope of obtaining such settlement is
through the Re-adjuster party
! 1.-The favcrs the free schools and the perfec-
| ton, or at least the Improvement of the system
the record Of the Re.adiuster marty il . o,,aran
tee to him that this viii be achieved by that
| party, and that party alone.
| 1.-The desires an economical administration Of
our State affairs. the record of the Re-adiuster
party in cutting down the expenses is an as
surance that he can rely upon Il aoth 0bso,fe cer
| taantv. to further decrease onr oovernmen-
| tai expenses.
