a startling Exposure Of Radical
GXpenSlilure


Alexander Dclmar, Director Of the b.
reau Of Statistics at washin gton. has just
made an official statement which is Of the
most alarming character. llo states that
the expenses for the prssent fiscal year will
exceed tho receipts by over one hundred
and tlfty million dcllars, which latter
amount will be added TO the national debt
Thus 1t appears that the Radical party, BY
their gross reckcssEess and corruption,
are plunging tue country deeper and deeper
Into debt at the rate half million dollars
for every working day. These facts have
bscn ar,fully hidden, h ithtrto, by the Rad
icai managers. Having the whole matter
in their own hands thcy have parchcd the
reports ;n suit themselves. Suspicion was
excited, however, in tho minds OF some Of
our leading business n,on, and in order TO
put the matter at rest they asked tho Di-
rector Of Statistics at Washington for the
report alluded TO. Nov, i, is bad enough
for the Radical party TO .quandcr tho pub.
lac money at this irshiful rate, but il is
rascally TO deceive the public aud make
false Exhibits in order to cover up their
thievery. The truth is this, and the peo
ple should know il: That. the Radical
politicians are gorging themselves With the
money that IS wrung from posr and homes.
lsboring men. who have got to work for
every dollar they get With The object of
intrsnching themselves in power, they are
supporting thousands Of lazy negroes At
the South, who pay for their support by
votink the Radical ticket. Another large
sum 10 spent in tho support Of the stand |
ing army that 10 used TO in,imidate the |
white people Of the South. And now the
Radicals are impudsntly asking the people |
to lot them continue, for another four years
TO squandes the public money, and carry
on their programme Of negro supremacy.
They ask tho tolers Of the North TO vote
for Grant, the man who aspirss to b.
