New-York tribune., 1842-04-07

demur in last Evenings POST did indeed
amaze US. The Address asserts that the Wigs
spent S22,3G4, 452 during the last year of their
power in the City, while they CLocos) have spent
but the moderate sum Of l.6l6, 624 the past year,
making Democratic Rrtrenchmcnt of s943.-
1873" Here is chea. of only $500, 600. in sub
,racting their own figures, Che same in the New
Era; )-but this is only flcabite. To form this
balance in their favor they lave logged into the
account the following items
Whg-l23s Loco-ls4l
Strcet-Paving --...--..-.-. S494 ,296 Sl29 1856
STRENGTHENING. ..--- 252 ,575 84.2l2
Markets (in building Centrc)- $4,000 l2,755
Roads and Avenues. 1861 1923
Public. Reservoir 1879 1888
Total, five items $685.. s947 ,999 $249,389
Here is an excess of expenditure in 1889 of no
less than $685. $40, (or within $50, 900 of the pre-
tended SAVING of the Locos) on FIVE items only OF
Permanent Improvements or additions to the Pro-
perty Of the City, made generally at the expense
of the particular localities improved, and under
the eve of the Loco-Foco Aldermen of the Twelfth
and Sixteenth Wards, in which most OF the I'M
provements are situated. Even the building OF
Centre Market in 1888 1--WE believe under Loco
Foco ordinance and contracts made years betore)
is pitched in to swell the amount of Wing Expcn-
dture in that year! We appeal to every tar
mind to Judge whether the concoctcr OF this swln-
ding stutcnent-be he Comptroller or understrap-
per--oush, not to have his ears nailed to pillory.

There are about1 100 votes for Gillette, {Abol(
and some less for LOOMS, (Conserv.) The ten or
twelve towns come in will not increase the plura
lily of Cleveland and cannot give him majority.
The Wing Licutenant-Governor (Booth) runs
better than Ellsworth. We think no part of the
LEGO State Ticket is elected.
The Locos have about two thirds of the menu
bers elected to each branch of tho Legislature,
though very many towns have yet to choose Repre-
scntativcs.
The Locos have the sheriifs in Middlcsex, New
London, and Fairfield counties; in lhe others we
believe there is no choice.
10 While the election in Connecticut
pending the Loco Focos fought very shy OF the
question of Protection. :" What is the use Of this
outcrv for Protection 2" said the New Haven Re-
eis,cr, and its allies after it; the Wings have
najority in Congress why don't they fin the tariff
as they want it, and stop their noise about it,"
The kmvery of this talk about Wig majority,
which includes the Carolina and Georgia members,
is ingrain with these fellows We'll, the victory
is won, and now the Evening Post comes out with
the vaunt, . We arc the more pleased with this re-
suit, because The battle hes been fought chiefly
upon the question Of Protection or no Protcc-
tion."
We like this Hit the Connecticut boys again,
Free Traders! they have no friends
M1sslsslrrl.-Wc arc happy to state that the
Republication swindlcrs of tho Mississippi Legisla-
lure have solcmnlv resolved, by party vote. that
the Land Distribution Act is immoral, impolitic,
and degrading, and that they will have nothing to
do with it. Perhaps their creditors will be less
tastidious.
