When the Democrats came into power In
1871, they found an insane asylum at Wes-
,ant plan upon which they have expended
the lsrce sum Of 500, S92 o. The Deaf and
Dumb Institute was commenced and com
pleted at the large expense OF $60, 3I5.O0;
the penitentiary was completed at the ex-
pense of $136, 600 90; we expended on the
University the sum of $50, 500 90, and nor
NAL school buildings in the State the sum
OF $50. 500 90: on the capitol at the city OF
Charleston $50, 900. 90, making grand total
In these six items alone Of $677, 1892. All
this was done out of the money collected
from the people without increasing the
rate Of taxation, and yet the Radicals tell
us that we have been needlessly extraya-
CANT in the expenditure OF the public
money. / ask any fair man If this could
be done in any way but by the most riged
economy?
Following Mr.. Frame came Mr.. John s.
Robinson, who, in the course of his speech
alluded to the fact that the Democrats had
rejected Golf so often that it had become
monotonous, and said that he had hoped
the Republicans would have produced some
new champion to break a lance with Cousin
Hanson in this fight.
He said that the Republicans came into the
district loaded down with the plumber that
they had wrested from government EN-.
ployes. and boastingly asserted
that if they could not carry. this
district they proposed 70 buy It They 90
They will know US better after next Tues
day. You can't buy Democratic votes;
they are not for sale, for whenever q
man becomes mean enough and de-
graded enough to allow money to
influence his ballot he has become
too mean for q Democrat, and has just
arrived at that moral condition when he
will make a first class Republican, and so
we turn him over to that party. :,
The speaker alluded to Gof's celebrated
feast, the great feast that he had prepared
out of the Hubbell fund, and OF which he
invited the voters of this district to pae;ake,
and compared Ii to the feast spoken oil IN
Scripture, where the rich man had spread
a feast, and to which the invited guests
came not, and he sent his servants out with
orders to bring in all the stragglers from
| the by.paths and from the highways, and
| 10 wash them and clothe them, and bid
| them sit at his table He said Golf had done
| the same thing. He had spread his feast
| and invited his guests, but none had come,
! and he also had sent out his hirelings to
| search for the stragglers, to wash them
clean in the Republican faith and TO bid
thrm sit down to his feast, and he said, SO
far as heard from, they had gathered in one
straggler, and he was well:known in politi,
cal circles, but he sasd, oh, what an awful
washing it will take to make him clean"
He showed the. hypocrisy of the so-called
tariff ISSUE" and quoted the Lntelligencer
to prove that the question of Tariff did not
belong to politics, but was properly local
question. He paid glowing and eloquent
tribute to labor, and said that he
had only heard one accusation made
against the workingmen of this county,
and that was that they did not always stick
to their friends. He said that he would
know whether or not this charge was just
after next Tuesday, for the laboring men Of
Ohio county had never had a warmer OIL
more devoted friend than Hans. Good, and
if they forgot him in this struggle it would
be ingratitude indeed. He referred to the
many times that Good had befriended the
workingmen of this county, and wound UP
with an earnest and forcible appeal to the
voters of Ohio county to stand by theiI
favorite son in this fight, and to give him
such q majority that the Republicans
would never again boast of buying the
Democrats of this district.
