when it is the old-fashioned blue mass, blue
pill sort, and insist on using DIR. Pierce's
"plcasant Purgative Pellets" a modern
medical luxury, being small, s~ugar-coated
granules, containing the active principles
Of certain roots and herbs, and which will
be found to contain as much cathartic
power as any of the old-fashioned, larger
pills, without the latter's violent, drastic
effects. The pellets operate thoroughly
but harmlessly, establishing q permanent,

Add to this the $40, $685. 81 of losses
during the four years of Governor Fos-
ter, and we have a grand total of the
,,''losses" at the penitentiary for the four
years of 1854, 09S. SO. instead of an n
!nual profit of S53, 900 or S212,000 for
the period as claimed disihgenuously by
Governor Foraker. When we add the
Governor's imaginary profits to the
actual losses for the four years we find
that he made a mistake of S746, 09S. 80.
Considering the awful necessities of
the occasion, the mistake" was prob
ably as reasonable as we have any right
to expect.
; In conclusion / would say that the
iGovernor's figures against the Demo-
;cratic Administration are just as relia-
bile as those he makes IN taUor of the
Republicans.
Of course, there were losses sustained
during the Democratic Administration.
The change of system and the idleness
which followed made them some what
larger than they were in 1883. Just
about as large as they were, in fact, in
1885, Columbus Cor. Enquirer.

Thus suddenly disappears Governor
Foraker's beautiful fairy story about the
penitentiary clearing $53, 900 annually
under Fosters Administration, or a to-
tai of $212, 900. Governor Foraker
makes a mistake of just 1857, CSC. 81, and,
what makes it a remarkable coinci-
dence, he makes it in favor of the Re-
publican party.
When Governor Foraker's speech is
purged of this gross error, which some
one imposed on him, there is nothing
left of it except that cane, which DR..
Kinsman's sudden and scientific olfac-
tory analysis is just about as reliable as
the figures imposed on the Governor.
1t requires no affidavit in support of
the figures 1 have given above. They
are to be found in the regular books of
the ~pen;tentiary, and are set forth in
the most ample detail in the report of
Hon. John F. Oglevee, former Auditor
of State.
1 have given the Foster Administra-
ton credit for all the permanent inn
provements made, and have charged to
its losses the lost and unbelievable ac-
counts-just what Governor Foraker
did against the Democratic Administra-
ton. OF course. when he finds out
which OK is gored, he will not initiate
the lawyer in Webster's spelling-book,
of blessed memory, and set about try
ing to argue his way out of paying the
damages.
The great point that Governor Fora
ker seeks to make is that during the
Foster Administration the penitentiary
cleared $500 0 a year, and was profit
able to the State to that extent. Now.
the truth is, the penitentiary never paid
expenses, and at no time during the
Foster Administration did it come with
in 800, 600 of it, as l shall show. In
addition to the ~'expenses" above given.
there vas annually appropriated by the
Legislature and paid out on account of
the Ohio Penitentiary for the prosecu-
tion and transportation of prisoners the
following sums:
