The Salary Grab a Small One Compared


The Salary Grab Small One Compared
with Others.
Gen. Cary, in his speeches, remarks
very truly that the salary steal is al
most contemplate in comparison with
others.
Thus, in the very same apr opria-
ton bills" in which the last Congress
included the salary grab of $1,500.000,
there was an item of S3,729,000 zap
propriated" to the Washington City
Ring, called the Board OF Public Inn
prevements, headed by Boss Shepherd
which is simply board of Public
Thieves.
There is the grab of 100000, 900,
entailed upon the people by the Con-
gress of 1869, by legalizing the false
assumption that the $40 bonds, prin-
cipal and interest must be paid in gold
instead of the same currency in which
other debts are paid.
There is the grab of the public land
by which in ten years the Republican
party have given to railroad corpora
tions .Jfve million Gcres-a tract of
land larger than the six New England
States, New, York, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and
Ohio-and to the Pacific Railroad they
have given in fee simple tract of land
as large as New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana.
There is grab of the tariff (not for
revenue, but against revenue), by
which from $3OO,OOO,OOO to $5O0,OO0,-
900 are yearly filched from the pock.
cts of the people to enrich few cap
italists and monopolists.
Tpere Is the grab of the Credit Mo-
bilier, by which from $20.O00,OOO up
wards was swindled out of the United
States Government.
There is the grab of Grants thieves
in office-but this is too large topic
for adequate treatment in a small
space.
How long will the people continue
to suffer these enormous outrages by
their public servants i'll the General
Government?

The rascality of the election in Phil
adelplia is plainly exhibited in the
fact that the voting registration was
1900 more than it was in the City of
New York, although New York has
at least cne-Ihird more Inhabitants
than Philadelphia. This, too, in the
face Of the notorious tact that thou
sands of Democrats in Philadelphia
did notregisters knowing from expert
ence that their votes would not be
counted if they did. For some years
the vote of Philadelphia has been larg-
ser thansthat OF New Y ork, and at the
late election the entire Radical major
ity in the State of Pennsylvania, and
more, was obtained in Philadelphia.
1t is in this way that Radicalism has
retained its power in the old keystone
Slate. Still they never fail 10 rejoice
over victories thus won, while they
split their throats shouting "fraud,
fraud" over Democratic victories in
New Y YorIS.

the Dsmoeratic RaactiOn-
4YAsaINGToN, November S. The
long roI of sDemocFatIc Victories in
4uesdaY's elections have produced a
selling akin TO consternaffon among
the administration officials, though
something of blow was not unex-
pected by them. The President, for
Instance, shut himself early last eve
ming without the reach OF the news.
Usually on election nights, fle MEM
bers of the Cabinet and other officials
assemble AT the White House to await
the retuFHs. But last night the Pres
ident's only visitor was his brother-in-
law, Collector Casey, of New Orleans.
During the evening news of reversal
of the Grant vote in Virginia, aud 3
probable Democratic victory in New
7 ork only reached the White House,
and it was not until to-day that the
full tide swept along from New York
Virginia, Maryland, Michigan. Wis
consin, Kansas, &c. There was more
talk among the Republicans about the
strong and earnest current of reaction
that had set in than efhere was after
the Ohio election, when Radical apa-

whose majority was 10000, are among
the many facts that upset The tenden-

reasons for Republican defeat. On
the old border here the. rejoicing is
great at the annihiiaticn of the miser-
able carpet bag and scalawag party in
Virginia and at the overthrow of the
pretensions of Mr.. CressweIl in Mary

umns in the East in New York and in
the West in Wisconsin have alarmed
the gang Of eorruptfonists who have
glibly talked about Mr.. Grants third
term.
