The Republican Record,

/
The splendid exhibit Of the condi-
ton of our national finances which
has just been given, has been made
possible, we should not fail to remem
ber, by the prompt and energetic ac-
ton of tho War and Navy Depart
ments, in reducing the size of our
public establishments, and curtailing
expenses in every possible manner
Officers Of all grades have been dis
missed as rapidly as their services
could be dispensed with; regiments
have been disbanded as quickly as
the orders could be made out; vessels
have been put out of commission and
sold as fast as tho necessary labor
could be accomplished; provost mar
shals aud courts have been abolished
as speedily as affairs would allow; and
all the vast machinery of war has been
done away with, even before the peo-
pie have fairly realized that the war
itself is over, In all this, we have
heard no accusations of favoritism to
parties or individuals; and it seems
almost incredible that throughout,
there should have been developed
such an extremely small amount of
cheating, swindling or speculation.
On this latter point, indeed, the
Government has been marvelously
fortunate. Though many hundreds
of millions of dollars have been dis-
bursed since the close of the war, the
whole matter aud all its details have
been so carefully and honestly man
aged that oven the enemies of the ad-
ministration have failed to bring for
ward accusations of dishonesty or
wrong. This is doubtless in great
measure due to the inaexible upright
ness of the Secretary of the Treasury,
the Secretary of War and the Secrc-
tary of the Navy, and to the intelli.
gent carefulness of their subordinates.
1t is assuredly record of which the
Republican party may well be proud, ,
and on the strength of which it can
rely for popular support, now aud
hcreafter.--Nc,c York Times.
