Democratic press has been silent in
regard to the State expenditures of
the last year ! The reason for this
silence is made apparent, when the
figures have been obtained. No
wonder the officers refused to let
Republicans take look at the Rec
ords The expenses of the last
year under TAYLOR, have reached
the enormous figures of ST, $780,
l68.39I which is $l83,725.43
more than q0ere the eaperases Of the
first gear ausder Coz. Wash6ur":'
and $50, 2O2.38 more than acre the
erpenses the second gear uaader Coo.
Wash6ut4a /! Such is the sham
Reform economy. Such are the
figures that have been reluctantly
drawn out OF the present Democratic
officials. Look at the figures !! An
other point the receipts into the
general fund of the Treasury during
the past year, have been $l,l36,-
483,67; the disbursements during
the same time have been ST, &c.,
1888; or Sl23,684.72! More
than the receipts I Look again !!
At the end of the fiscal year, Sep
TENDER 3Oth, 1874, there was a sur
plus of $I25, 53l. 80, in the general
fund. On the 3Oth Of September,
1875, there was the pitiful sum of
$1,846.58 Showing an excess of
expenditures over receipts of $l23.-
604 ~. Great is Reform economy
LOOK AGAIN ! Money that is
paid out for permanent improve
mcnts, Is not properly chargeabls
against an Administration. If tie
money is properly expended, for the
improvements, the State has the
value of the moEey expended, IN
property. Nothing is lost. 1t is
then proper that the amount thus
expended should be deducted from
the gross amount Of State expendit-
ures In each administration. The
amount expended for permanent i'm
provements during the last two
State Administrations is as follows ::
For two years under Washturn. $475 06.37
For two years under TAI lor.......... 81 STE 10
Excess under Washburn......... $163 536.97
The total expenditures, including
permanent Improvements, for the
same period, were as follows:
For two years under washburn -. 50, 26S, 4es. go
For two years under Taylor. 1893 81 .79
Excess of expenses under Taylor s3O,463.7 &c
Now deduct amount paid for per-
manent improvements in both cases,
and the matter stands thus:
For two years under Taylor. S1,9S6,816 63
For two years under Washburn 1,793, 3C9 60
Excess of expenses under Taylor $193,514 O3
Here the figures show that the
State expenditures for the last two
years under Coy. TAYLOR, after de-
Quoting the amount paid for perma
nent improvements in both cases,
were $l93, 5l4.03 more than s0ere
the Expenses uqadeq The 80 gears of
Coz. Wdsh6urn's administration !
These are facts that can1ot be dis
puted, The figures are taken from
official documents! Is this the econ
omy and reform that the people
desire to see continued ? Is it a
saving Of $500 day
It will be seen that instead of
saving $500 day, the expenditures
under TAYLOR, excluding permanent
improvements, have been $6l5 for
every business day of the year, more
than they aCere under WAsHBURN.
Facts and figures show this to be
the case /! Voters, ponder well these
things, and hurl from power, the
greatest sham administration that
was ever imposed upon the people.
Having shown from official records
that the TAYLOR administration is
the most extravaganza one the State /
