Use to pay money. If that is not
debt, what Is it, Gen. Ewing:
"Out Of Their Own Mouths"
The horrible corruption Of the
Democratic government Of New York
City calls forth indignant denuncia-
tions even from that Democrat of
Democrats "Brick" Pomeroy him
self. He knows how the facts are,
from his own personal knowledge,
for he lives i'm the City and his paper
is published there. He "goes for"
the Tammany Ring in style which
every reader will recognize at once.
Read the following, from his Demo
cru Of the 18th ult., and remember
it is Democratic truth about Demo
cratic thieves, the rulers Of the DEM
ocratic party in the North.
"Brick" says:
If the head sachems Of Tammany
can manage to secure the nomination
OF "their man" for the Presidency,
and then see him elected, there will
be inaugurated the grandest admin
istration Of theft, corruption, profit
gacy, extravaganza and crime this
country ever witnessed.
The ring Of swindlers now holding
treacherous power in New York City.
under the name Of Democracy, are
doing more to weaken the cause of
Democracy in the country at large
than the entire vote Of the city can
atone for.
This is Tammany!
This is the so-called Democratic
authority governing New York!
This Is the DEVILS combination Of
thieves now ruling New York City,
not for the good of the many, but for
the enrichment Of the few.
This is the monopoly Of the cor
ruptionists now proposing to buy the
nomination of the next Democratic
candidate for the Presidency, that
Washington may be included-that
some Of the leading thieves Of our
New York officials may be trans
planted to newer fields, but under
the same management!
1t Is for the Democracy Of the
country to look at this-to send to
the national convention of 1872 men
who dare to be honest TO taxpayers
and to principles, or there will be
such a defeat and such disruption
and scattering Of the Democracy as
no power on earth will ever rally.
Honest men will not always en-
dorse corruption.
New York, the pig-p of Tamma-
NY, may submit to what its people
have not pluck enough 70 help, but
the Democracy Of the country will
not submit to such dictatiOn.
Look mt New York!
One hundred and one millions of
dollars in debt!
And what have the people to show
for it?
A steam-yacht!
An American clubhouse!
A race track
A Supreme Court owned by the
Erie Railway, with Hon. George
Barnard for toll-keeper!
A palace for lying, slippery Dick
Connolly,t the Comptroller, who went
into Office so poor that he could not
qualify in 81 ,00O-who is now a mill
ionaire!
A fortune Of $4,000, 900 for Peter
Bismark Sweeney, who was a poor
man when appointed City Chamber
lain.
a palace for Hon. William M.
Tweed, the likeliest man in the lot,
who has only made s25 ,OOO, 900 out OF
the city, by honesty and economy,
in ten years!
A fortune Of 81 900 600 for A. Oakley
Hall. the popinjay Mayor, who
squawks when his masters pull the
strings, and pockets his percentage
Of the plumber, while angling for the
nomination for Governor.
Six thousand harlots, and 1900
dens of infamy, supported directly
from city steaIings.
These are a few Of the exhibits for
this enormous debt, which must be
paid or repudiated.
