There was an appropriation made in 1882 fol
tie rebuilding of the idiot asylum OF $4,000
and in 1883 an appropriation of 100000 wa:
made for the erection of an insane asylum al
Toledo by the Republican administration. II
1 SS4 there was an appropriation made for the
food sufferers of 100000, and in 1885 an ap
preparation was made to continue the building
LOT the Toledo asylum of 100000, and an ap,
preparation to commence the building of an in
ltermediate prison at Mansfield of $50 900 wa:
made by the Democratic administration. These
being extraordinary app opriatiOns, are not in
Icluded in the foregoing comparative statement
1t will be seen by the foregoing figures thai
the annual average expenditure of the Republi-
.can administration of 18S0-I-2-3 was $780,
s066.44 less than the annual average expendi.
iture of the Democratic administration of 1878.
s79, and that the annual average expenditure Of
the Democ attic administ7at on of 1SS4-S;
will be at its close 1851, ,O69.O5 greater than til,
annual average expenditure of the Republican
administration of 18S0-l-2-3 was.
1t may be said that the estimated unexpendeC
balances of appropriations in the treasury Nov
Us, 's5, are too small; and that the estimated
deficiencies in appropriations existing Feb. Is
s'86, are too large. But from the character o.
THE appropriations made, the unexpended bal
lance is more likely to be less than the amoun
ESTIMATED than more. Tne unexpended balance
sis estimated 100000 greater than the amoun
! lett in the treasury by the Democratic admin
aistration of 1883. No appropriation hayin!
: been made for the publication of the constitu
: zIional amendments, and many other expendi
lures authorized last winter, it is safe to sa.
: the deficiencies will not fall shert of the amour
estimated. 1t is $9645.37 less than the def
sciencies left be the Democratic legislature a
z the close Of their administration of 1873.
. In addition to this showing there are man,
other cases not in the state reports. The rev
enue of the state was reduced over two millions
of dollars annually by the abrogation of tn,
sScott law. The state was disgraced by an at
tempted job at refunding state bonds Owe
seleven millions of local indebtness was pilet
Cup by the authority given to issue bonds. On,
million has been squandered in sentimental
sexperiments and waste at the penitentiary. Til,
! coal oil legislature last year reduced the stat
slevy one-tenth of one mill as had been con
: stemplated for some time, but by its own giciOu
Extravaganza it was this year forced to restor
{ the old levy and even now the state treasu:
Twill be bankrupt at the end of the presen
56scal year.
