Ehe Financial Policy of the Republican State Adj
minstrati0A indicated.

Last fall the Democratic papers, and
the Democratic stump speakers alleged
that the expense IF the State government
for the fiscal year which close1 on the
30lh of September last, would amount to
the enormous aggregate OF SOL .00O,5l.
This statement with an elaborate table
giving The several items of expenditures
which they asserted could not be avoided
first appeared in the Patriot Il was as
siduously copied by all the Democratic
prints, and embodied in a pamphlet pleas
antly styled. - Facts for the People,
which was scattered by The thousand ali
over the State. Here is ali extract froaa
the Patriot. which also appeared in tbs
pamphlet aIInfed 10:
" To meet the expense of Sol ,000,-

tax of @l50 ,000-exciusive of The special
tax for school libraries and 10 pay inter-
est on State loan. This want OF neces-
sity leaves the State largely IL 1ebt and
operates very oppressively Upon State
creditors. The object Of this inadequate

lmproyldence and eXtravagance Of the

This charge was ruug thro' the State
in every form during The whole canvass
for State officers las. year. We replied
to It with facts and figures showing clear

with a economical republican Admin
istrauon, would not ONLY be ample to meet
all the expenditures OF the then fiscal

The Presidency Forlorn Hope Of
the Democracy

The organs of the Democratic party
are DONG their best TO keep their cour-
age up. They Try TO persuade them
selves that all Is not lost. They ack-
nowledge the stunning character, of the
blow they have received, bat console
themselves with the thought that there is
a month l-ft IN winch they may recover.
The Washington COHStitufi0u talks about
reconquerlns Pennsylvania. bu, most of
the other organs confess thai New York
Is their foriorn hope.
Much OF this, however, is mere pre-
tence. The sensible men o. the party
know and feel that they are beaten. The
PennsYlvanIa election IS mol the only
proof of coming defeat---it is only one
more added to the many symptoms that
have preceded H. All the elections Of
the summer have Indicated the same ten
dency III the public mind The Name
election showed clearly enough how
things were going down east. The Wes-
tern States all show similar Increase of
Republican strength; and now Pennsy.-
wanna, usually the Stronghold of he De-
mocracy, the State which has more than
once saved the party when ali seemed
lost, has given the death blow 10 their
dying hopes.
Il IS utter folly 10 expect that tide
which las thus been rolling ia auI ris-
ing higher and higher during the last
year or two, IS 10 stop in mId-ocean aud
