A historical column argues about Ohio state finances under Democratic control since 1856. It notes wasteful spending, sinking fund management, and the handling of the state debt. It cites officials like Auditor William D. Morgan and Attorney General George B. Pugh, outlining debt figures and timelines from 1853 to 1860.
The auditor's report shows Democratic rule cut state debt, with $1.6 million saved and a remaining balance around $18.47 million by 1856. Fourteen years of Republican rule reduced debt further to $9.74 million, but critics claim $15 million in interest and expenses were wasted, leaving taxpayers heavily taxed and bogus ticket warnings issued.
