The meeting was called to order by Assemblyman
Woodbury., who gave an interesting account OF the
Republican club lately organized In thautauIua
County There was every evidence that the Re
publican voters Of the State were thoroughly IN
terested in the present campaign, and that every
one of them intended to vote for Mr.. taSSett for
Governor.
WHY REPUBLICANS MUST WIN.
John Woodward was elected chairman. He
eulogized Mr. Fassett as the representative Of pure
politics and pure government, and declared that
he must be elected Governor In order TO give New
York State good government. This sentiment
brought out great applause. glee club sang
"Tammany Hall and David too and then Mr..
Fassett was introduced, to be greeted with APP
plause that lasted for fye minutes. Mr.. fasse1
devoted his time chiefly to exposing the mis-
statements of Governor Hill in his speech at
the Cooper Union meeting in New-York last night.
His exposure of Mr. Hills attempt to run away
with the credit of the Republican taxation laws.
introduced by Republicans and passed by them, was
exceedingly telling. Thus, he showed that it was
Assemblyman Steele. of Oswego County, who first
introduced the present Corporation Tax law, and
persuaded the Legislature to pass it in 1880 He al
So showed that Mr. Steele the first introducer in
the Legislature of the Collateral Inheritance law.
This was in 1881 The bill wls passed by Senator
Vedder, Repub lean Senator few years later.
Senator Vedder also was the authot Of the Direct
Inheritance Tax law, and of the Organization Tax
law Allthese Republican taVation laws. he dc.
clared, had put So. 100000 into the State Treas
ury. The effect of these laws was most apparent
this year. when. owing to surplus IN the state
Treasury created by these, State taxation had been
put at the lowest rate IN thlrty-slx years
The Legislature this year had expended within
5000, 900 of as much money rs the Legsllture OF
1890. IT. was therefore apparent That thls great
reduction in State taxation was due 10 the eAls-
tence Of surplus and the increased income from
the Republican taxation laws. One Of these Re-
publican laws. the Direct Inheritance Tax law,
would put into the State Treasury, according 10

millions of dollars the present year: This two
millions was considered by the Legislature and

THE CANDIDATES SPEECH.
Mr.. Fassett spoke in part as follows:
1t must be remembered that the speech delivered by
Hill last night not madc in the heat OF de-
bate excitement OF public eXtcnpo7aon. but was
