DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.

We hear great deal from the demo
Gratis about democratic economy, and how
honestly they would manage the public
finances if they were intrusted with them.
They boast well, forgetting all the time
that where they have the power their acts
emphatieally give the lie to their words.
The New York Times has succeeded in
obtaining some facts in relation to the
government Of that city, which show the
most astounding swindles and thefts, par
ticipated in by Mayor Hall, Controller
Connolly and others.
Among the items of plumber mentioned
in recent article is $50 zoo charged TO
the city for the rent of ten lofts ostensibly
occupied for armory purposes, but actually
not used at all; $3.50, 00oa year additional
being charged for the rent of the armories
really occupied. For keeping ten armo-
-ies in repair nine months, the following
preposterous sums are charged:

why States Rights Democrats should make
such an ak alton. { The principles of the

the hard experience of that four years
