The complaints made by the people are
not merely on account of so much money
being wasted or lost. If this were all the evil
it would be small indeed, in comparison with
the existing facts. But the substance of the
disadvantage of the people is, that large
amount of public money is used for party
purposes-to control and influence elections.
The money goes out of the Treasury in the
form of pay for rservices or supplies. But in
reality, this pay is double or treble fair
price, and is Immediately assessed to pay
each one his quota to sustain elections. In
all the departments, more than double the
number of clerks are employed than is ne
cessary, and to all of these more than double
the price of fair SALARY is paid. For instance,
one of the clerks in The Post Office Departs
ment mentioned by Mr.. Graves, gets $1,000
a year for the very same services he had per-
formed for more than a year. before, as a sub
stitute for the clerk who preceded him, for
$500. This is what IS called administering
the laws of this government.

van Burea,s application for branch .

Van Bureaus applications Tor branch Of
the q. s. bank al Albany in 1895.
The following letter upon the above sub
lject is cut from the Globe Of the l9th May.
We suppose therefore it's good evidence.
And the Globe says -..Tne position
described BY Mr, Van Baren, in this letter,
fourteen years ago, as that which he occu-
pied towards The Bank, Is he same BY which
his whole life has been distinguished -
This is little curious. Read the letter
and then think Of Mr.. Van Buren's aposi-
ton upon the subject now.
We presume that every person who signed
the petition for the location of the Branch
Bank at Albany had for his ..sole obiect''
'sto promote the interest Of the city. And
Mr.. Van Buren, like the rest, did not under
take to contend with Mr. Biddle whether
the contemplated location Of branch was
for the interest Of the Bank Or not, he only
wanted it for the qualification Of the citi-
zens sand TO promote The interest of the
city" He signed the application and trans
mitted it to the bank himself But was it
then "unconstitutional'' l''--"odious and iniu-
rious'' ''-"distructive Of the best interests Of
the people and the countryG" Was il then
the forernnner Of evil and ruin9 Was It then
a monsters and was Mr. Van Buren, asking
for the exertion of the balefat influence of
the s'great engine of corruption" anongs.
the 'sgood people,. Of Albany Truly to our
mind here is some slight discrepencyor diff
ference in sentiment between Mr.. Van Bu-
rem in 1926 and Martin Van Buren in 1896
or 40. The Globe seems 10 reconcile the
matter with s'his whole life.o But the rules
8oflogic or ofreasoning by which the deduc-
tons and conclusions are made are not un-
derstood and appreciated By the common
people in this country.
