To SANDER the state, but believing
the people constitute the Siate. and
that they paid the taxes that sup
ported the State, be thought they
were entitled TO know the truth
about how their money vas spent
and what for, therefore he stated
some things in the Union Repub-
lican in il. i--ue of March 81, which
he had been laying. and asked Bro.
Daniels if they were true, and If not
to please be kind enough TO point
oat those that were not true. Bro.
Daniels mas not answered Justice
yet, aud as there are numerous dem
ocratic candidates in the field for
the Legislature, "Justice" will re-
publish these questions and ask them
TO tell the people which are not
true. Ii they canno, show that they
are not false then surely the time
has come to change the complexion
OF their Legislatures. Here are the
quettions:
Justice" has said the present
Democratic administration is spend

ming the State what Vance spent.
Is this the truth:
In order that the facts may be
lad fairly before the people | will
give the figures just as they appear

year under Vance was 1877, and the
cost Of running the State four years
