Letter from Hon. Andrew Roy

Tie Bellaire Independent of week be-
fore last stated that Col. Taylor. if nous
mated for Congress, would be confront
ed with the solid opposition of the la
boring men in the OHIO valley. No rea-
son was given for their opposition, and
the Press invited the Independent to
rise and explain which it has failed
10 do. Last Wednesday we received the
following letter which explains itself:

EDITOR PEOPLES Press Stopping off
at this place for Il day or two to visit an
old friend, On my way home from the
late meeting of the Ohio institute of

an extract from the Bellaire Indepepd-
ent to the effect that Col. Taylor will be
confronted with the opposition of the

he is nominated for Congress in the Sew
enteenth district.
Having pretty extensive acquaint>
ance with the workingmen of the Ohio

the contrary, the workingmen would
support Col. Taylor with great unaBimi-

FACTS AND FIGURES
For the Benefit of Certain Indiscreet
Falsifiers.
Col TaylOr's Congressional Contest
in the Monroe District.

Certain Bellaire newspapers, assisted
by the Monroe Gazette, for several weeks
past have been romancing considerably
concerning the Congressional contest of
Col. Taylor in the Monroe district two
years ago, and in their zeal to do him
injury have attempted to belittle what
was generally conceded at the time to
have been the most remarkable race made
by any Congressman in Ohio that year.
1t appears that Col. Poerman has is
sued circular "to the Republicans of
the Seventeenth district" in which be
disparages Col. Taylors canvass and
quotes the following paragraph from
Mr.. Dohsrty's Monroe county newspa-
per:
All talk about the claims of Mr. Tay-
lor on account of his splendid contest
against Warner is the merest moonshine.
The district should have been carried in
1884 as it was in 1885.
The Guernsey Times of this week in
commenting upon these slings at the ef-
fectiveDess of Col. Taylor's canvass,
says:
1t is not our intention in this article
to establish any "claims" of whatever
sort, but simply to vindicate the race
made by Colonel Taylor in the Monroe
district 10 1884 from such contem ible
aspersions, and to show the unwarranted
character of the above quoted assertions
by disappointed scribbler.
1t is only fair to compare the race
made by Colonel Taylor in 1884 with the
vote for congressman in the same coun'
ties in previous years. The following
table gives the majorilies in each county
on the vote for congressman at the four
elections preceding that of 1884:

THE closing part of Senator Fryes
speech in the Payne case was highly
dramatic and fereible. He walked up
the aisle until he stood in front of Sena-
tor Psyne's seat, where sat the latter.
After saying that he had known Payne
for many years, and revered him now as
an old and an honest man, Frye asked
how in Gods name the Senator from
Ohio could sit still and silent with such
a storm of ignominy beating about him
Why did he not Indignantly demand an
investigation? No man had ever be
fore been confronted with such charges
in the Senate that he did not demand an
investigation. "How any man." said
Frye, "can sit silent and control himself
under such charges-tbat his seat in
this body was bought with money-for
one hour, for one moment, passes my
comprehension" The subject of these
remarks remained silent, not daring to
respond, because if he did it would lead
to the exposure of the friends who
bought with money the seat he occupies

IN 1884 Republican administration
paid off and Cancelled $11O,0O0,000 of in
terest bearing bonds. In 1888, it paid of
Sl25, 100000 of bonds. In 1882, SIS, 5,0O0,-
600. and in 1881, SS4,OOO,OOO of bonds
were called and paid by the same ad
ministration. The present Democratic
administration is paying off bonds, at
the rate of only S45,0OOOOO a year, or
barely enough to meet the requirements
of the sinking fund. But the present
Democratic administration has done
something that the Republican admin
istration did not do. 1t has withdrawn
$75000,0 from the channels of busi-
ness, and piled it up in the treasury
vaults, in excess of all the needs of the
government. This Democratic financial
freak is costing the country $500 for
every working day in the year, by con-
tinuing the interest on $75,O0O,000 of 8
per cent bonds which might be paid Off
This foolish waste amounts to more than
the salaries of the President, the Cabinet
officers and all the members of poth
houses Of Congress combined. But thls
direct loss is a small affair to the indi-
rect loss that results to general busines.
from the withdrawal of money from cir
eulation and the otherwise incompetent
Democratic administration of federal af.
fairs. Altogether, a Dem 1cratic admin
istratien is very expensive thing, and
the fewer in number we have of them
the better it will he for the American
people-including the Democrats them,

1884.
Warmers majority. .

A comparison of this table with the
ones given above will show at glance
and fairly the splendid run made by
Colonel Taylor. The majority was cut
down in the i've counties more than
$500 votes from the majority in the
same counties IN 1892, aud was more
than a thousand less than it had been
for ten years before at any congressional
election. His majority was larger in
every county in the district, save Mon
roe, than had been given any congress
sional candidate in ten years before at
any of the five congressional elections.
Is such a race as that to be sneered at
as mere mooDshine?"
The comparison instituted by DJherty
and others of his ilk with the vote for
Governor in 1881 and 1885, when the
counties comprising the Monroe district
were carried by slender majOrities, is OBJ
viously unfair. A state election is est
sentialiy different from district cleo
ton; The people are not SO directly in>
terested and appealed to. And in the
years 1881 and 1885 Republican success
was so apparent before the election that
the Monroe county Democrats did not
care to come out to vote. Their full
strength was not polled either Year
by 900 votes. Witness the Democratic
majority in Monroe those years: In 1881
it was but 1880 and in 1885 only 1872.
Fosters majority in those counties with
all the apathy in Monroe was but SO and
Foraker's SS. Notice the difference in
year when Democratic success seems
probable, dS was the case IN 1888. That
year the majority in Monroe was over
900, and the counties comprising the
district went Democratic by 1,472 ma
jority.
Col. Taylor's combined majority in the
four counties of the district aside from
Monroe, was 100 greater than Fosters
combined majority in those same four
counties the year he carried the district,
and 200 greater than Foraker'S combined
majority when he carried it last year,
and 1885 was a good Republican year
Blaine's combined majority in the same
counties was 900 less than Taylor's, and
Robinson's was 700 less the same year.
Tilden's majority over Hayes iu the
counties comprising the Monroe district
was 1,747. Hancock's maj. over Garfield
was 906, and Cleveland's majority over
Blaine was 756.
In the year that Col. Taylor made his
remarkable canvass, it is also note
worthy fact that with single exception
in Belmont, the entire Republican coun-
ty ticket was elected in Belmont, Guern-
sey, Noble and Washington counties, a
thing which had not occurred in twenty
years before.
We need scarcely go further with this
presentation of facts and figures to CON-
plete our vindication of Col. Taylor's
magnificent race in 1884. Whenever his
detractors can succeed in wiping out the
record they can afford to deride his race.
but not until then. The beneficial eff
fects of his convass have not disappear
ed. They were manifest in the increas.
ing majorities in every county of the old
district last year, which will reappear
this year with yet greater increase, if
iour judgment is not much in error.

ONE by one they come to grief-the
appointees of the present Reform" adj

master of Columbus, Kansas, one Hugh
V. Gavigan by name. He was a member
of gang OF fOrgers at the time he was
appointed postmaster, and two years
ago was the Democratic candidate for
Auditor of State. He was convicted at
Columbus, Friday, of forgery in the sec

has been operating for several years.
The plan of the fOrgers was an adroit

thus deciding the property, they would
make applications for loans, describing
the property as improved real estate,

tlous persons. They would then draw
up note aud mortgage signed by ticti>

THE following is from the Caldwell
Journal: what the people want in the
personnel of public officer is ability, in
tegrity and previous experience, if posi-
BILE. The question of wealth or poverty
does not enter into the problem. A man
being rich or poor neither adds to or de-
tracts from bis natural ability. Because
q man is poor is no objection to his fll+
ing public Office, neither is it any OBJ
lection if he be wealthy Competency
is the essential qualification. A man may
be as rich As Vanderbilt or as poor as
Lazarus yet fill places of public trust
with credit to himself and to the satis>
faction of the public. If a man has been
so fortunate as to accumulate a reason
able competency. it is no reason that
when he Is candidate the howl of boo
die should be set up against him. A man
may be wealthy and politically honest,
and he nav be poor and politically dis
honest. When men seek to prejudice
the public against man because he may
possess some wealth, it manifests a ve4
Bality on their part that it is difficult to
account for. The Doodle howl is new
