McCREARY'S FIRST
ADMINISTRATION

Thirty-eight years ago James b.
McCreary was elected governor OF
Kentucky. He had for four years
previously been a member Of the
house Of representatives, and for the
last two years speaker of that house.
He was then some forty-odd years
old. He was in position, by virtue
of his age and experience, at least
his opportunities, to give to the state
the best service of which he was men,
tally and physically capable, and as
sumo he did the best that he could,
and | want to read you something
about his record.
For fear that some of my audience
might question my statements, will
read you what Governor Beckham
says about it, because Governor Beck
ham is now standing as sponsor for
him. Senator McCreary said. in
speech which he delivered at George
town four years ago. when he was
a candidate for senator, speaking of
his own term of Office as governor OF
Kentucky: 81 found a surplus OF
money in the treasury when | went
into office. have always believed in
economy in using the public money.
and believe in saving the taxpayer
all | can. The tax on every 500 was
then As cents. | recommended the
legislature to reduce II to 40 cents
on the 500. which was done" That
is his record.
Here IS what Governor Beckham
says about il; what he says about
finding a surplus when he went into
Office and reduction of the tax rate
is true, but let us look at the condi-
tion Of the treasury and the affairs
Of the state when he went out of Of
fee. He was succeeded on Sept. 2,
1879, by Governor Luke b. Blackburn.
a man Of truth, and biggest hearted
governor Kentucky ever had. Gov
ernor Mccreary left the finances OF
the state in such demoralized CON
dition that he forced his successor 10
ask for a restoration of the old rate
In order to maintain the credit of
the commonwealth. For nearly 30
years he has. used that tax reduction
as one OF his chief political assets,
but he has never breathed word
about the unfortunate results ii
brought TO the state treasury
