We present this morning summary OF |
the articles from time to time published in
the JoURS SAIllunder this head aatf 80
That the facts and figures we have
given, demonstrate beyond a doubt, that
the. Conservative, Party is the party of
economy, retrenchment and reform, and
that the Radical Party is the party of
waste, extravagance, corruption and bank
ruptey, no man can, with truth, deny.
There can he no doubt about the correct
ness of the facts and figures we have given.
They are taken from the Radical Auditors
books. ss.s .laE2 9d 4sa 1eE si41 ID" II =. '@sa
Everybody knows e" that Radicals
never make mistakes" against them
selves. When Radical oflice-holder says
hellias received certain sum Of money
for the Government, it is quite a sure
thing that lie has received that much at
least, and when lie says lac has paid out a
certain sum for the State, it is quite a Sun e
thing that he has not "forgotten"'' any
/ thing he ought to have put down. We
take it, therefore, that the Radical Auditors
figures do not tell the story worse for the
Radicals or better for the Conservatives
than the facts warrant. - .....tf.. .s......

If the Conserv ative Legislature has re-
Guced the expenses in the items stated
! above, S1S1 ,44S. I6 from what they were
under Radical rule in the year 1SG0-'.0,
then | ask in all candor, have they not
proven themselves the friends Of the
people, and have they not carried out the
retrencAment and reform which they prom
iscl in 1870.
Upon the above showing made from the
acts Of the two Legislatures and from the
reports Of the Auditor for the years 800
10 and 1S70-'71, we will submit the case
to the people, rs the jury, feeling We'll as
surcd that their verdict next week will be
in favor Of the party of retrenchment, re-
form and economy i'll the public expenses.
The testimony before United States
