Paid the amount. He was a Demo
crat. He was misled by his predeccs
sOr.
Bur do we hear any thing from Ar.
mold, the collector of the same place,
some years before, under the admins
tration of John @. Adams! He is in
default for $4,000, not one farthing
of which was recovered; yet we hear
no Federal murmuring about that de-
falcation. He was modern Wing.
This was caused by the neglect
of the Administration under which
the default occurred, according
to the charges now preferred; and il
was under the Bank Administration.
Why this mutenesss about Arnold's de-
falcation? All understood.
The loss on Merchants bonds. This
loss amounted to $7,000,000, without
interest. See detail Of Thames and dates
in report to Senate, 9th July, 1888,
document No. SOB. There will be
found the name ofG. w. Bruen, Of the
firm of Thomas Smith d Co. in default
for the modest sumof S3,O00,0O0.

to his politics. Wing, l presumed.
Yes; silence gives consent.
All these base frauds and wholesale
defalcations occurred under the United
States Bank Administration, and be-
fore the present Administration. They
grew out Of the wholesale gambling
system established maintained and
managed by the banks. This system
the Democracy Of this county have
always set their face against. Who
are responsible for the losses thus sus-
tanned but those who, for party and
pecuniary motives, sustain and kept up
the fraudulent system that gives birth
and support to theml
Collecting officers. Report of Jam

Reports of First and Second Comp
trollers of the Treasury, documents
Nos. 2, 6, 48, and 1876, of the House Of
Representatives, show defaults of dis
bursting officers.

this is one of the Wing members of

seen him charged with having given
$4,000 towards carrying the New
York Wing elections. If so would it
not have been moro honorable for him
to have paid the debt for which he ow-
