Speeches by Colonel NieIds On Local and
Levi C. BIrd on National Issues.


Levi G. BIRD on National Issues.
About 400 persons assembled outside
the Old Academy on vandever avenue in
the Ninth ward to listen to the speeches
of Levi Q. Bird and Benjamin Nields and
Il q. Knowles last evening. The meet
ing was called to order at 5 o'clock
Francis E. Gallagher presided
Colonel Nields began by saying that
there was a taxation in this city on mort
cages alone which amounted to
$40, goo 600 This, at 5 per cent. inter
est, amounted to $1,000, 900. This all
came off the poor people, for the rich
tax no mortgages on their properties. In
1880 there was no public debt. During
the next nine years 81, 100000 was paid
into the county's treasury. New there
is debt of 1860, 600 against the county.
He would like to know how the money
was expended. The Court House cost
$40, 900, bridges about 800, 900, keeping
the poor and prisoners $500, 600 1t took
no more than 81, 00o, 900 to meet ex
penses; the remaining 81 500. 0C0 was
unaccounted for
He next turned his attention to the
Levy Court Commissioners He said that
Harry Hickman had drawn a salary OF
1927 GO during the year 1885, and as he
was only entitled to So day, this meant
that he served the county for 800 days.
Howard Jordan drew 1915, which showed
that he attended to the business Of the
county 800 days out of the year he
asked II anyone believed these men bad
done So He charged them with putting
the money belonging to the county into
their pockets.
He said the building of the almshouss
cost more than the building of King
solomons Temple, and that when the
Republicans got hold of the books Of She
Levy Court they would disclose state Of
things that would warrant the sending
of the present commissioners to the in
sane asylum or the county jail.
Levi O. Bird dealt exclusively with the
tariff question. He said the Democrats
wanted to dodge state issues and talk
about tariff aud that he would crafty
them. He said national taxation never
hurtf any man, it was the. local taxes
that ruined him Horace Greeley
Knowles then followed In brief speech,
after which the meeting adjourned
