This is a nortion of the Democratic testimony, to
which we might more largely refer throughout the
whole of this article but space forbds.
1t is no wonder that there is extrayagance in the
navy after the shameful exposure of the Presidents
own endorsation on that famous letter from Colonel
Patterson, of Philadelphia touching that contract of
Merrick 4 Sons. In that case there was down
right purchase of votes with navy money by the
President and Secretary of the Navy, for the pur-
pose of eecting Democratic member from the city
of Philadelphia We refer to the document entitled
"What it costs to be Governed for detail OF this
matter--as also touching the
LIVE OAK Contracts of Mr.. W. c. n Swift
whereby for $4,000 judciously given by the said
Swift towards the Presidential election in the State
of Pennsylvania in 1885, this gentleman was re-
warded with contract by which he received Sl7l,-
200 fcr worthless timber.
We refer, ALSO as farther explanatory of how the
''money goes in the navy, to the
Coal CONTRACTS for which the President appoint
ed practising physician, (Dr. Hunter, of Readng,)
agent with the distinct understanding that the Doc
tor, the editor of the Reading Gazette and Mr..
Smith, were TO divide the profts-$3, 900 apiece
none of whom did any work except that the Doctor
signed formal papers sent to him by Tyler, Stone
Co, the real agents acting as such and at the same
time also selling the coal
The following matter is not alluded to in that
pamphlet:

The Commodore sends letter from the joiner

Do the people desire the workmen at the navy
wards to build shps-or to talk politics to attend
to their busness-or be maintained as a set of hire

system as this? An old Commodore detailed to
