1877-Number of paupers received, 19; number born, 3; number died, 2; number discharged, 15. Receipts from farm, $222.77; disbursements for labor and supplies, $1,422.42.


1878-Number of paupers received, 19; number died, 3; number dis- charged, 18. Receipts from the farm, $566.35; disbursements for labor and supplies, $998.55.


1879-Number of paupers received, 37; number born, 2; number died, 3; number discharged, 37. Receipts from farm, $685.49; disbursements for labor and supplies, $965.22.


1880-Number of paupers received, 16; number born, 2; number died, 1; number discharged, 19. Receipts from the farm, $662.49; disburse- ments for labor and supplies, $1,081.01.


From this record there appears to have been one hundred and fifty paupers received in the poor-house during the above period of eleven years, of which number eight were born there. During the same period

one hundred and fifty appear to have been discharged, including thirteen by death. The expenditures of the institution during the past eleven years of its practical existence were about $10,974.35, including the cost of the barn and addition to the house. There may have been expendi- tures for stock not included in this total. The receipts from the farm during the same period were $6,122.84; thus leaving a deficiency of about $4,851.51, which fell upon the county to provide for from time to time during these years. In addition to the expenditures of the years 1878, 1879 and 1880, already given, there were, in each of these years, not less than three hundred tramps kept over night and given from one to two meals each.


Thus concludes an account of the institutions established and main- tained by Lucas county. They are the promoters and purifiers of soci- ety-one, the arbiter of justice and order; another, the means by which the violators of law and order are held in subjection; and the other, an asylum of humanity, for the care of the indigent, which society in all lands, has in its midst.


POLITICAL RECORD.


The political history of Lucas county dates from the first election, August 6th, 1849. The first political records, however, date only from the April election, 1852, immediately after the organization of the first townships. As already noted in the chapter on "county organization," the only evi- dence of any elections prior to the last named date, is that found by the writer in a box of cast-away papers in the court house garret. Among these, were the returns of the organizing election of August 6, 1849, and the April election of 1851. These are placed on record, in that chapter, in full. All the evidence of any elections in 1850, and of the August elec- tion of 1851, is that gleaned from the first records of the county commis- sioners, showing the appointment of judges and clerks; and, incidentally, some of the officers elected during this period-from the organizing elec- tion of 1849, to that of April 1852, the date of the first record.


The only county officers which appear to have been thus elected in August, 1849, were-


County Commissioners-Jacob Phillips, William T. May, James G. Robinson.


Clerk of Board of Commissioners-James M. Brown.


Clerk of District Court-William S. Townsend.


Sheriff-John McMaines.


Recorder and Treasurer-Samuel Mckinley.

HISTORY OF LUCAS COUNTY.


County Surveyor-I. H. Waynick.


Justices of the Peace-James Peck, Elijah K. Robinson.


It is likely that there was no judge of probate elected before April, nor county assessor and coroner before August, 1850, as the first probate record bears date October ,7, 1850, and the first and only judge of pro- bate was Allen Edwards, as already noted in the chapter on "The Early Courts."


There were but three county assessors in the county, prior to 1857, as the code of 1851 abolished that office; but it was re-established in 1857, but soon after repealed. Beverly Searcy was the first county assessor.


The law then in force, required county assessors to be chosen at the August election, each year, and to assume the duties of their office on the receipt of their certificate of election. As the assessment of 1849 was made by the assessor of Monroe county, to which Lucas was then attached for revenue purposes, as there was no assessor chosen at the first August election in 1849; Beverly Searcy was appointed the first assessor of Lucas county, by the board of county commissioners, and who made the first assessment of the county in 1850, as shown by the commissioner's rec- ords. David D. Waynick was chosen Searcy's successor at the August election in 1851, and assessed the county that year; and also, as then required by law, took the census of the county. But no evidence, record nor traditional, of the total of that census is to be found. Mr. Waynick, still an active business man in Chariton, remembers well the tribulations he encountered while performing this public duty; because of its being a very wet year, and the streams of the county-which were numerous- being badly swollen. The next, and last assessor of the county, was Wm. J. Hall, chosen at the August election in 1852. He was succeeded by township assessors chosen in April, 1853.


The first school fund commissioner of the county was Henry Allen, who was appointed by the board of county commissioners at its session on the first Monday of September, 1849. There appears no record showing whether Mr. Allen's successor was chosen at the April elections of 1850, as the law required; but the presumption is that Mr. Allen was chosen his own successor at that election. Whoever may have been chosen would, hold the office for two years, until the April election of 1852. At the lat- ter election Samuel D. Houston was chosen school fund commissioner over James Jenkins by twelve majority; there being 126 votes cast, of which Houston received 69, and Jenkins 57 votes.


At the April election in 1854, Ed. A. Temple was chosen without oppo- sition, receiving the total of one hundred and fifty-five votes .. In April 1856, C. F. Temple was elected the successor of Ed. A. Temple over D. D. Waynick, the total vote being 593, of which Mr. Temple received 297, and Mr. Waynick 296. This was a close shave, almost as close as

the "forty per centers" of early days would shave those struggling for their families and homes.


During Mr. Temple's term the office of "school fund commissioner" was abolished, and the county judge became the custodian of the school fund of the counties.


The first coroner was elected at the August election in 1853, as will appear further on in this chapter.


The first presidential campaign in which the people of Lucas county participated, was that of 1852, in which the candidates were Gen. Win- field Scott of the Whig party, and Franklin Pierce of the Demcratic par- ty. At the election of November of that year there were one hundred and sixty-five votes cast for both candidates in the county, of which the Whig electors received eighty and the Democratic electors received eighty-five. This vote would seem to indicate that the two political parties then exist- ing were quite evenly divided. However, the county, like the state, had been thoroughly democratic up to 1854, when James W. Grimes was elected governor by some five thousand majority over Curtis Bates. This was the first Whig triumph in the state.


The next presidential election was in November, 1856. The candidates in that campaign, were James Buchanan and John C. Brechenridge, on the part of the Democracy; John C. Fremont and William L. Dayton, were the first candidates of the new-born Republican party, and ex-president Mil- · lard Fillmore, an old Whig, championed the "American party," a combina- tion of Whigs, Knownothings and floaters generally. The Democratic elec- tors received 355 votes in this county; the Republican electors received 288 and the Fillmore combination received 176 votes, making a total of eight hun- dred und nineteen votes cast in Lucas county, an increase of six hundred and fit- ty-four voters in four years. At the ratio of five in the family of each voter, would give the county a population of 3,270. The Democratic electors fell 109 votes short of the vote of the Republican and American electors combined.


The next year, 1857, Lucas county gave her first Republican majority as shown by the record of the first October election of that year, this being the first election under the present constitution, adopted at the August election prior. From this time forward Lucas county has given a Repub- lican majority at her elections, ranging from two to five hundred.


The cause of the rise and growth of the Republican party was an eventful one. It was the embodiment of a principal which the "May- flower" brought to the American continent, and which formed the basis of this Republic, and found living utterance in the declaration of our national independence. Though it took well-nigh a century of our national exist- ence to develop this principle; through the minds of the American peo- ple in a living, practical form, it came finally; and the Republican

party, the growth of the hour, was the medium through which our national supremacy was maintained; and the blot which had befouled this principle of freedom, of liberty-the very heart of the Republic-was washed out, washed out with the blood of the patriots of the Union. The heritage of their valor was a Nation, firm, free, eternal as her rocks.


In 1854, Stephen A. Douglas, then a senator in the National Congress, brought forward a measure, to organize the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, abrogating what was then known as the Missouri Compro- mise, which was a bill introduced in congress for the admission of Mis- souri in the Union as a state, and passed in March, 1820. As a compro- mise between the slave-holding, and non-slaveholding sections of the Union, a proviso was added to this bill, that all the territory lying north of a defined line running east and west along the northern boundary of the state of Missouri, should forever remain free-in which involuntary servitude should never exist.


The abrogation of this long observed and sacred compact, was embodi- ed in the following amendment interposed by Mr. Douglas to the Kansas- Nebraska bill, and which comprehended his "squatter severeignty" doc- trine, in the advocacy of which he went before the country upon the stump in 1860, as a candidate for the presidency:


The constitution and all laws of the United States, which are not locally inap- plicable, shall have the same force and effect within the said territory as else- where in the United States, except the sections of the act preparatory to the admission of Missouri into the Union, approved March 6, 1820, which, being inconsistent with the principles of non-intervention by congress with slavery in the states and territories, as recognized by the legislation of 1850, (commonly called the Compromise Measures) is hereby declared inoperative and void; it being the true intent and meaning of this act not to legislate slavery into any territory or state, nor to exclude it therefrom, but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the constitution of the United States.


During the consideration of this measure in congress, as thus amended, the excitement of the people ran high in the anti-slavery states; but when it passed, and received the approval of President Pierce, May 31, 1854, this excitement became deep indignation in these states, resulting in the disintegration of political parties, and a conflict of forces in the strife between the pro and anti-slavely elements of the country for the mastery in the newly organized territory of Kansas. The history of that conflict is unforgotten. It was the opening scene in the great bloody drama that followed; and that inborn principle of human liberty which brought John Robinson and his followers to Plymouth Rock, was the great underlying force which maintained the republican party, in all its achievements, from its inception after the abrogation of the Missouri Compromise measures-

which was the first act in the drama which closed at Appomattox, in 1865-to the present time.


Thus, it was Douglas that broke down the barriers against the slave power in 1854; it was Douglas who divided the democratic party in 1860, and made the success of the republican party possible; and it was Douglas who tendered his co-operation to President Lincoln after his inaugura- tion in March, 1861; and had he lived, he would doubtless have been a prominent figure in the achievements of the republican party.


As before noted, the first record made of the election returns from the several precincts of the county, were made in April, 1852, which year the following precincts were created, and from which time to the present, (1881), the record of officers and vote, is given as follows:
