At the close Of this political speech,
filled with inaccuracies aud miss
tateIneuts, Mr.. Elder loudly pro-
claims: 81 was on the ways aud
means committee In 1865, 1875 and
1873, and the appropriations at that
time in this state were not over
500, 80. while u has amounted up
now to oyer q million and q hail for
the last blenuial period" Nov, I
| find upon examination Of the records
that the same ration Of untTuthIul-
ness conisined In this closing per-
Grafton that follows all the state
Hsnis snd figures contained In this
speech.

OF the statistics Of the state now In

Republican Standardization, with Its

years, sni ! apd that The total APP
pF1pTiaIions for 1875, when he was
Watching over the treasury, were

population Of Lhs state vas but 5a2,
GIG, the total tax levy that year be-
Ing tl.2I 100 per capita. Now, the
Fnacjai sfiairs Of the state have been
controlled by the ltepG blicsn party,
without intermission, since 1879,
when Mr.. Elder ceased TO watch over
the ireasuTy, aud ! gHd that under
Republican rule the assessed yalua-
tlon has steadily Increased until In
1890 It was s34s, 459, 1856, and we
have grown until In 1880 our populs-
ton was ,I23, 1856, and the total APP
prOpriatious for that year were sI,-
4so,Set,S4, with q tax levy OF ga 100
per capita, showing that with this
unparalleled development Of the
state the appropriations have not
been doubled, while the population

have GccH more than irebled.
