THE RADICAL CLAIM TO ECONO-
NV ANALYSED.

Radicals claim that the expenditures of
the government were reduced by the last
Congress, when the years 1669-70, and
1901 are compared. This is not true.
Mr.. Beck of Kentucky, member of the
Committee on Appropriations, just be-
fore the close of the late session, most
effectually disposed of this falsehood,
through an array Of facts and figures,
under which even Mr.. Dawes was forced
to keep silent. Here is a comparative
table of appropriations for the years end
ing June 30, 1870, and 1871, which is
plain enough for the most common I'M
Outstanding, which Mr.. Beck presented

The New York Standard RadicaD
says of those Radicals who find fault with

NV ;mnortance of the duties to be
ooorforned by our magistrates does not
seem 70 be fully appreciated by the pub
lie. They are elected for six years.. In
dependent of the duties performed by
them in their respective districts, they in
their collective capacity have the general
mana cement of our county affairs. They
fix the rate of taxation; they appoint the
assessors and collectors; they have charge
of the school fund, the public roads,
make appropriations for paupers, and, IN.
deed, have the entire control of our county
finances. Our magistrates, therefore,
sbould be sensible and reliable men. The
people in the county should see to. ii
that men of the right stamp are elected.
Il is especially important in this city thai
proper selections should be made. I'm

We az, informed that the Radicals hay
agreed upon seven persons as their candi
dates for This district. Nashville elect
seventeen magistrates. With the numbe
of candidates in the field, the probabilitie
are that the Radicals, by concentration o
their seven candidates, will elect tn
whole of them, unless there is also cor
centration upon the part of their oppc
nents. To be foreEarned is to be for'
armed, provided htage is taken of tn
forewarning. Let our citizens see to
that none but good men are elected.
