presidents ct rates of interest which
were shamefuEy low They know too
that Governor Harris himself is a
| stockholder in two banks which had
on deposit $4,000 of this money at
low rates of interest. Thew know too
that the treasurer OF state kept his
accounts upon little slips of pepper,
and that no books were kept to show

They know that large sums of the

lying in the yamlts Of the state

ASTRONOMICAL EVENTS.
AN INSULT TO
MARION INTELLIGENCE

Governor Herris, the accident gov
ernor of Ohio, the man who is travel
ing up and down this state telling
the voters that he is for temperance
end richeosusness in the affairs of
the state, the men who has tried to
rob the grave of the late beloved
Pattison, the man who appeals to
the church people of the state to
support him for the governorship, be-
cause he signed the Rose bill, after
it he'd been passed by an overwhelm-
ing majority OF the general assembly,
the man who represents that the stat
will go TO the damnation bow vows II
he Is not elected governor, he'd the
affrontery to come to Marion Friday,
ostand on the steps OF the court
house and tell an intelligent audience
that there YVES nothiry wrong in the
state offices at Columbus. He said in
80 many words and with all of the
emphasis which he cou.d place upon
the words that Stete Auditor Gull
bert, State Treasurer, McKinpon and
their deputies, who are now seeking
70 succeed them in offisce, had been
guilty of doing nothing wrong. He
even went farther than that. He said
that the committee which had been
appointed by the senate OF Ohio to
inquire into those offices had made a
report that everything was all right.
He even went still further thaa that
lie ssid that the committee had not
even suspicioned that there was any
timing wrong in those offices.
This is one OF une greatest insults
which has been heaped upon the
people OF Marion during this or any
other campaign. Governor Harris
must think that Marion is very back !
woodsy and that the people do not
keep abreast OF the times. He must
think that Marion people do not read
and keep themselves posted upon
what is doing in Ohio.
Every man in the audience, which
listened 10 the governor, knows what
the investigating committee found at
Columbus. They know that the COM
mittee found the most rotten condi-
ton imaginable. They know that tha
Republican officials at Columbus
have manipulated things until they
have gotten hold of the whole taxa
tion machinery Of the state and that
they have taxed the people until there
is laid up in the treasury of stste a
surplus Of something over $6.OOO,OOO
and that this surplus wes loaned out
to bank in which the officials were
