for Mr. Camp TN his financial embarasstneuts. This

From the Albany Argus democratic state paper

From the Albany Argus democratic State paper,
Jan. IL
After an interrcgnum OF more than twenty years
the democracy resume power In the State. During
these years the standard OF public morality has
been greatly lowered, the expenses Of government
vastly Increased, legislation has been tainted with
venallty, and the authority OF the State has sup
pIanIed the right Of nuntles to selfgovernment
and interiered grossly with the franchises OF citl-
Zens. While the quality OF law has thus been low
cred It's quantity has been immensely increased. IL
is easy TO trace the progress OF radlcasm only
by the partlality ana prodigalIty which have cha
racterzed legislation but by the increasing volume
OF the annual statute books glance at the shelves
OF law library detects at once these signs which,
like 1.-The increasing belly and decreasingo leg of
Falstaf SHOWS swollen corruption and the gross
ness that attends decay.

Not at once. The stream does not rise higher tnan

representative body. Hut much be done. Gov
ernor Hoffman has indicated how the volume OF
special legislation be diminished by q revision
or and extension OF general ACTS ana by the re.
legation or powers to the boards OF supervisors.

combinations and chance 10 economize the public

Will look forward to restoration OF tue good old
times when democracy ruled, and honesty was one

dence or the people In the democratic party. We
have no lear from such combination, using such
weapons. We have Holman In the Executive Office,
