+" tie lDic,Y Of Ncwbu9v C0unty:
As Il candidate for nomination for the
lioI:e Of Representatives | will briefly
define my poSit|&n lu'r" tive important
questions that are now before the pco-
pic and upon which the next General
Assembly is expected to act. In the
present depressed financial condition
OF the people Of the State regard an
economical administration Of the GOV
crnmrnt as highly important, and
"""!.! consider any audu ional aDpro-
priAtion that would increase the burden
Of taxation and not required by abSo-
lntc necessity IL inrNpcdicnt. For the
proper "din!ni>lration "i government
officers are EcccS>nry to execute the
i L.,
tEc.>' officers diSpOSrS Of part Of the
public fund. This is Il necessary dis
burSclnrnt, and no grievance can arise
except from an imperfect organization
OF the government in the creation of
unnecessary Offices. and an improper
regulation OF salaries.
My position is positive and simple.
am in favor OF abolishing every Office
that is found after Il thorough cxami-
nation can be dispensed With Without de-
trimcnt TO the public service. The sal
aries should be such as to command
the services OF efficient mcn--I would
regard The amount we'll regulated when
it gives Il )uir compensation fo,' se,rice.
In regard TO the idea of public needs
which is III" principle upon which ap-
pl opriatioaS are made 10 support va
rion> institutions l. think they should
be chcrrfully meet when there is an
mduuhtra claim upon the State. The
idea OF public needs may be expanded
OF contracted according to the views
OF each legislature. In times OF pros
pcrity ! think the idea ought to be
cNpanucu so rs to encourage the dcvcl-
opmcnt OF every resource OF the State
But at i time OF general pccunialy de-
preston as ] consider the present the
idea ought to be contracted rs much us
possible. some OF the objects Of appro-
priation ! will specifically touch upon.
The Citrdr! Academy l cannot con-
slider necessary institutional do not
object to it rs IN educational insti-
tuiOn-l favor 4 complete system of
education. But nearly every branch
taught ut the Academy is also taught
at the College in Columbia, ami so far
| rs the educational feature is concerned
| think it would be wise to ccntraIiZc
and support enc good institution at
Columbia. Of course do not refer in
anywisc to the ClaIlin College. Ii an
agricultural College should be cstab-
li>hrd il will probably teach military
| tactics. But alone | cannot consider
this feature Il sufficient public cnccessity
to Justify the present cost and cNpcn-
ditnrc. am also opposed to the mill
lin appropriation. Practically | con-
Si''rr ii waste Oh useless formdlily.
! have never been able to obtain SUI
tlclcmi information as 10 the Columbia
| Canal. Ii ii WAS undertaken as Il spec
u!alion or to promote u local enter
prise ! could never have supported an
| appropriation-l understand that the
State has expended Il great deal of
| money on this work and should be
guided by my opinion as TO the best
| interest OF the State after full iu-
