can be counted as an "opener." The
meeting was certainly a fit failure
in point of numbers, which is not
disputed by Republicans themselves
who were present. fla speaker of
the ability and reputation of Gov.
Noyes could draw NO larger audience
in the town of Eaton, we ad Use u
'home talent" to keep off the ross
road stumps or they will be left to
talk to the wind.
Mr.. Noyes opened his speech by
declaring he had not come here to
abuse any of his political opponents
and especially Gov. Hoadly, for whom
he entertained the highest respect as
a man of honor and intelligence, gen
erons and kind hearted to a fault
Before, however, he had travelled
thrt ugh half his 'bloody shirt" ha
rangue, he had heaped charges upon
Gov. Hoadly, in connection with the
Mullen case and a reckless eXpendi
ture of the public moneys, that if
true, ought to consign him to politi
cal oblivion. But as MI. Noyes lied
at the opening of his speech, so he
misrepresented through nearly the
whole of it-done either through ig
norance or for the purpose of deceiv
ing his hearers. An answer to his
garbled and magniGed statement of
the Mullen case will be found in an
other column of our paper, taken
from a speech made at gainesville
Ohio, by Gov. Hoadly. just as Mr.
Noyes garbled aud misstated this
matter, so he did the amount of the
difference, between the State expen-
ditures of the democratic admins
tration of 1SS4-5 and the Republican
expenditures of 1882 8. The total
expenses of the democratic admins
tration for 1884 5 was Sc, 800, 229; but
this includes appropriations which
the Republican General Assembly
did not have to make, for the very
substantial reason that they were not
necessary during the years 1928,
but became an absolute necessity in
The years 1876. These extraordi
nary expenses amounted to $940, 500,
among which were $780, 600 for pub
fishing constitutional amendments,
800, 900 for food sufferers, $4,000
for circuit court judges, $4,000 for
suppression of riots at Cincinnati
and Hooking Valley, $4,000 for new
building at Athens asylum, $4,000
for employees of imbeclle asylum fol
clothing lost whilst trying to save the
lives of the children, and SO on to the
amount of the 1910, 500. Now de-
duct these necessary expenditures
from the 5000, 229, and it leaves the
sum of S., 1868, 600 used in 1884 5 lol
the usual State purposes under the
democratic administration, whilst
there was used by the Republican ad
ministration in 1882 3 for similar
purposes the sum of $3.50 937!-
Wonderful difference of economy,
isn't it? He then alluded to the coal.

ator, as a disgrace. Of course it was,
but no more so than the Republican
purchases form Colorado, California
and Pennsylvania. He said there

S. Treasury when James Buchanan
