The People don't want another Demo-
cratic state Administrator

The last time the democrats hsd the power In
this State was in 1885. So reckless and corrupt
was Wells administration that yer, that no
body has ever attempted TO defend II II squan-
der.d the public money in the most shameful
and barefaced manner run the State into debt
and LEI, a legacy Of fraud and corruption such
as was never before bequeathed to the people
bys dispise.d State Standardization Thous-
and, upon thousands OF dollars were paid TO
corrupt officials FOR SERVICES THEY NEv-
Err RENDERED.. A WHOLE QUARTERS
SALARY WAS DRAWN FROM THE TREAS
URY FOR A SINGLE WEEKS SERVICE
Let us look at some Of these instances Of
wholesale piundering.
James Walker Was paid for only TEN
MONTHS SERVICES as Land Agent. the SUN
OF FOUR THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND
sEvENTY-NINE DOLLARS and 'iTiy-nias
cent?. .,-o .o
when hi. compensation was fixed as follows;
1.-THE Land Agent shall receive An annual
salary ef one thousand dollars from the state,
IN FULL COMPENSATION FOR ALL HIS
SERVICES"
For the ten months service Mr.. Walker
vouI have been entitled under the above law
20 ssi3. The amount theu which was EMBEz-
FLED from the Treasury on Walkers account,
v" s3,3lt 90
But this Was only one instance. This demo-
cratic State administration allowed to the fol-
lowing robber ofhee.h the sums set
against their respective names, for services
which they never performed, paying them q
WHOLE QUARTERS SALARY when they
went out Of once. although only WEEK OR
TwO'S PAY WAS due them:
Jane. Walker, Land Agent, Tin addition to the
sum before mentioned), Sio1 W
Isaac Reed. Treasurer, $50 %
John s. Craig. Supt Schools, ieo W
John n. Adams, Rep'r Decisions, loa IL
Geo. 81. Atwood, Adj't General, % %
Vim. Bennett, Warden 8. Prison, Oh il
And what Was the result Of this wholesale
plundering. Of whichiwe have given oniya lew
instances above. Why, there vas not money
enough in the Treasury to satisfy such harp'es'
and accordingly thiswells administration resort
ell at once to aioau. FIFTY THOUSAND DOL
LARS vas procured as loan, and was added
20 the permanent debt Of the State, and the
people Of Maine are to-day taxed to pay the
annual interest Of THREE THOUSAND DOL
LARS upon IL +; and this same administration
OF Wells which thus plunged the State in debt
6tty thousand dollars, left more than SIXTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS Of warrant unpaid
when Il vent out Of Office, oil Of which have
been necessarily met and honored BY the sue
ceeiing republican sdmini'ira'ions
Now we ask every taxpayer OF Maine. III
no, an iusul, to ask him to vote to secure tn
ascendancy Of such another corrupt dynasty
And yet % corrupt and shameless has the dem
ocrstic party become. that with all this noun
tain Of guilt staring them In the face, they ha'
the superlative impotence to come again Be
fore the people, and ask their votes to sle'at
such another rotten dynasty into power.
