lion bills with the exception of one or two for
'ery small amounts, but voted for, rs above,
almost unanimously by the members Of both
,arties. This examination proves conclusively

bused their public trust by aiding the Repub !
lean majority in plundering the State, or that |
General Dodge and those who aIe with him in
aisipg the clamor about Republican extrava-
snce are vile set Of lying demagogues un-
'orthy Of trust or belief.

atbs and the faithful discharge Of their public
rust, voted IS 70 them seemed right and pro-
er. That large majority Of the Democratic
,embers in both Houses recorded their names
