Reform Expenditures.

1t had been widely claimed that
the State expenses for the past two
years, had been diminished so much
that $500 per day was saved to the
State, and this was used as the great
reason why the Reform ticket should
be reelected. EX-Gov. Washburn
doubling the justice of the claims,
addressed a letter to State Treasurer
kuthn, asking for a correct state
meut of the expenditures for the
past four years. Treasurer kuehn
responded with a statement of State
expenses, as follows, for the four
years in question;

II Governor Taylor, of Wiscon-
sin, is innocent of the charges Of
rascality which are being preferred
against him, it is about time for
him to make his defense. The peo-
Pile generally believe that hs has
been engaged not only in bounty
swindling, but in other crimes which
would consign better man to the
penitentiary. Democrats seldom
question the character of their can
didates, but, unless we mistake the
signs Of the times, they are begin
ming to doubt the honesty of their
candidate in Wisconsin, and will
bolt his nomination at the polls.
Already the WaoH, q German pa
per in Milwaukee, which has hither-
to supported Governor Taylor's can
didacy, signifies its intention to OPP
pose him unless he establishes his
innocence. II all the stories told
about him are true, simple defeat is
not sufficient I. nc ought to be tried,
convicted, and punished for his pee
ulations.--i9 Inter Ocean.

What is the matter with the administra
ton Journalist These are getting to be
miserable organs. Here is the Cincinnati
Gazette declaring that Civil Service Re
form is a work with which congress has
nothing to do, since the president is the
only man who can decide the matter.
Listen to it:
L 1.-THE first step was to take stand 90
tthe principle that capable and faithful Of
Ulcers should not be removed to make
places for personal retaineIs. That alone
would have achieved Civil Service Reform.
4 It is true the president, who should take
his stand on this rule, would cause the
i, disaffection Of many Of his personal tooters,
and that the secretaries would have &c
foreeo the use of the public patronage t
nav their helpers, and that this stoppagt
a | Of the supplies by which senator's and rep
!, resenta.ives gain and keep their position
would cause great disafsction and com
e plant among them and their personal fol
y lowers: but president is master of tn
4 situation, and he could safely rely on pub
= Tic opinion to sustain him in such stand,
= But because he preferred the good wi
r Of 'his personal tooters" above that Of th
!. bubble, the Reform failed.

Gov Tiaen Exposing Pubiie RcSners 2.

Is q
Gov. Tilden has just sent message 10
the legislature which startles the country
in regard to public robbers. It's now an !
admitted fact that to Gov. Tiiden, more
than to any other man, the people are indeDt-
edlfor exposing the corruptionsof Tammany
and either sending the scoundrels into
exile or prison. Since he was elected gov
eruor he has been examining as to the
corruptions of the state canal board, and
the message we allade to shows what he
found. The canal ring, like the Tamnnary |
ring, was made mp Of Republicans and
Democrats, and by corrupt contracts the
people of the state have been swindled out
of millions. Satisfied that the interests OF
commerce on the one hand require ma
terial reduction of tolls, and that the financial
condition of the state on the other torblds
auy increase in the annual deficiency OF the
canal revenues, he asks how it happens
that while the tolls during FIVE years have
exceeded $l5,0O0O00, there has been a
deficit of nearly as much more, which they
have had to make good by taxation, The
answer is given in the governors explana.
ton of the manner in which contracts for
repairs are awarded and performed. ln
plain English, millions have been stolen by
an arrangement of fraudulent bids and de-
ceptive contracts, under which the state
pays three, four, FIVE, and even seven
time the stipulated price. The governor
gives q list of ten contracts on which the
average amount paid was four times the
sum involved by the agreement, and the
aggregate excess was over million OF dol
ars; land some of the expenditures, III
adds, "are still going on with no prospect
of completion. $500. ..-. r~-7,

EXACTLY Ike HIM.
Springfield Mass Repubhcan-Ind.
Governor Tilden has given his proofs as
a reformer before, notably in the well-re.
membered campaign against Tweed.
Hence his present onslaught upon the ca
nal ring excites little surprise, being receg
nized as exactly like hun" 1t is an ex-
ceptionally ineritoriUus public service,
though, and one which OILY an exception
ally courageous public servant would have
ventured upon. This particular ring has
been tor many years power in New York
politics, The Tweed affair was the merest
mushroom by the side Of it, 1t is in
trenched behind vast wealth and q form
liable political influence, 1t has its mem
bcrs, agents, runners and spies in both the
party camps and, it is to be feared, in all
the departments of the state government.
1t is believed to be especially strong in
the legislature. 1t is not going to surren-
der without fight. We may assume
that the governor has counted the cost.
1t is quite possible that one item Of it may
be an ugly split in the Democratic or
ganizatiOn of New York. 1t is probable
that the struggle will bring Mr.. Tildeu
