ment, mentioned in the resolution,
must refer to the administration Of
County, State, and National affairs.
IF the application is made TO County
affairs, how do the Democracy account
for the fact that strong Republican
county like Wayne only levies a
County Tax OF thirty. JSUe cents on the
hundred dollars, while in Allen, eten
more strongly Democratic couc.y
which has had the benefit of the
wisdom and honesty Of ALFRED P.
EDeERToN, tLe Democratic candidate
for Lieutenant Governor-the county
tax is one dollar and sirty cents on
each hundred doHars-nearly tfUe
times in excess of the Wayne County
levy. This. then, is one time and one
place in which the administration of
government by Republicans cannot
be chara cterized by " monstrous ex-
travagance. IF it is, language is too
poor to portray the extravaganza of
the Democracy in administering gov
eminent in Allen County
Comparisons equally unfavoratle to
the Democracy can be made between
numerous other counties in this State.
IF we turn to the administration Of
government in this State, ty Repub-
licans, what do we find? So prudent
ly have our finances been managed by
the Republican administration, that
in two years after the close of
the war, our State debt has been
reduced fifty per cent, and at the
same time our taxes reduced TO a lOao
er point than they hare been for ten
gears! Nor is this singular in
stance. In almost every State similar
reductions have taken place, but not
to so great an extent. As examples,
the State debt of Ohio has been re
duced fifteen per cent, Pennsylvania
nine and half per cent, Illinois
thirty two per cent, and even in New
York, where the greatest extra
vagance has prevailed, there has
been reduction ofseven and two
thirds per cent These are facts for
Democratic consideration.
The administration Of govern
mentp by our National Executive has
not been as economical as it ought to
have been, or as is desired. Congress
has not done its full duty in inspect
ing and cutting down appropriation
bills. But with all this, and the ex-
penses incident to controlling the IN
reconstructed rebels, and the Secre-
tary's laundering in the Treasury De-
partment, here are several facts of
vital interest, furnished by Commits
sioner WELLS: ~ Taxation has
been reduced from eighty to one
hundred million dollars per year; ~
The public debt has been reduced by
the sum of two hundred and sixty
millions. or over ten millions per
month; (3) The premium on gold has
fallen from 280 to 140 per cent; "a
All the industrial pursuits of the
country have expanded; % The
country is more populous and wealthy
o-day than ever before.

 SIR:--1 take great pleasure in stating that, alter having suffered from dy spepsia for about fifteen years, at some pel iods much more than others, have been entirely cured by the use of Goes Dyspepsia Cure. My friends know that of late years my case has been an extreme one. had great suffering from eating any kind of food. and on average would vOmit about one-third of my meals in a sour indiges- tble mass, When the severe attacks would come, would lose all strength and be utterly helpless. Some of the attacks would be so were that for days together would not retain anything on my stomach, save a Lttle dry toast and tea For years I knew not what it was to pass five consecu tive hours without in tense pain From the time I took the first dose of this medicine I ceased vomiting, grad ually all soreness passed away, and flesh and strength returned and ever since have been able to eat any kind of food set upon the table Six monhts have now passed without any symptoms of the return of the disease. My case was considered by all even physicians, so marvellous, that for time it was feared it might be fictitious; but permanently cured. that can conscientiously recommend Goes DS syepsia Cure to all victims of Dyspepsia: ISAAC AIKEN.
