CHARLES E. BOYLE, Democratic candi-
date for Auditor General, when member
Of the Legislature in 1867, obtained the
passage Of section in the appropriation
bill, to protect the State Treasury against
the incessant assaults made by the thieves,
by means of special committees. Auditor
General Hartranft deliberately violated that
law, and left the plunderers gorge themselves
on the public treasury. Hartranft is the
candidate Of the ring for Auditor General !;
Boyle is the candidate of all who sincerely
desire reform in the affairs of the State.

true; but it looks strange that every vote
given in favor Of true bill was cast by a
