GOingfO Work,

The reorganization Of the Democratic
Association with Hon. CHAs. B. LORE,
at its head, with the able and efficient
corps of officers at his back, looks like the
Democracy of Wilmington were going to
work in earnest. When politics will be
regarded as it should, as the work of pat
riotism, we shall have more purity at our
elections, and purer men will be placed
in Office. The wholesale senseless and
baseless denunciation of politics, political
parties and those who worked for the ad-
vancement of the country's interest, by
the Independent Press, has done more to
put in power the men who disgrace the
country than any other cause. 1t is duty
that now deyolves on the Democrats tc
make politics honest and honorable. and
honorable and respectable people will
fall into line.
The daily gazette., 1876-09-21

The Republican disgraced itself yes
terday, in its reference to Senator Bayard
But it was characteristic. When it is
told of the thieving and disgraeeful acts
of the party in power, it replies by refer
ring to secession, or something that trans
spired fifteen or twenty years ago. The
people are dealing with the present times.
They fiji ID themselves burdened with tax
alton and they desire a cheaper admins
tration. There are too many such men
as Orvil e Grant living on taxes gathered
from the people. His drunkenness can
not be excused. Read the article headed
''I1ow THE PEOPLE ARE ROBBED in
another column.

Gov. TIIDEN's VINDICATioN from
the charge that he made false return Of
his incoI ne, is published in the New York
papers. The Philadelphia Times, n. Y.
Sun, and Herald, Independent papers, as
well as the World and other papers, de-
clare it j. complete, and proves the charge
to be one of the basest fabrications. The
statement is signed by Judge James p.
Sinnott accompanied with a letter from
Hon. A. 5. Hewitt. 1t is too long for our
columns. Now let Hayes prove that he
'listed'' all his property, and did not
make false and UNANIMOUSLY inaccurate
return, under oath, and cheat his State
out of the amount of State, School,
County and poor taxes he should have
paid,

From the n. Y. Sun.
HoN the People are Robbed

In order 10 understand the startling
growth Of the public expenditures, which
have 'ex panded in proportion TO the cor
ruption and prodigality under Republican
rule, it is only necessary to compare the
cost of carrying ON the Government before
the civil war with the cost since then. The
four years of bloody strife are left out OF
view. because the conditions were abnolm-
al and ought not to be applied to a state
of peace. The figures are taken from the
last report Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, and they will be found eminently
instructive. They show the total expen-
ditures Of the Government for the peroid
Of seventy one years before the civil war,
and nine years since it ended:

Mr.. SAMUEL TowNsEND's speech was
very inaceurately reported by the Cone
"1erctdl, although that paper gave about
three times as much room to it as it did
to the speeches Of Senator Bayard or Hon.
Thosmas c. Campbell, of New York.
Words are put in the mouth of Mr..
Townsend that he did not utter and the
Commercials abuse Of him is only what
was expected. Mr.. T. referred TO that
paper and its editor in such terms as was
applied to them by Geo. p. Fisher. the
State Sentinel and Delaware Republican.
If Mr.. Townsends language was un-
pleasant to the Commercial il should
have been more careful not to deserve i,
of its own party friends and a re-itter-
alton by the sterling Democratic orator Of
Appoquinimink Hundred, who never
ialls to make stripes where he lets fall his
lash. In the present effort he seems tc
nave wounded the Commercial very Sc.
Verely, and it flies at him like a tarrie,
whose tail had been grazed by toe of &
ooot' Well, it is likely Mr.. Townsend
will survive the attack.
One might have supposed paper tha,
was so much shocked would have re
ported the speech of the Senator Of If,
own State, or of the able Honorable gen.
tlemen from New York but this IN,
Commercial was careful not to do. I
preferred to keep those speeches from it
readers. 1t had been aching for clip :
Mr. Townsend and it seized the first q,
portunity to reek its vengeance, for Il
telling truths uttered in the Opel
House.

rae Enormous COST Of GOrern.

Ihe enormous cost Of the Government
under Grant as compared with other adj
ministrations is wonderful. Il is aston.
ishlng that there is a single press in Della
ware defending such extravagence. 1t ha.
cost nearly as much for the past min,
years from 1867 to 1875 as it cost for sey
enty-one years up 10 1860. Read the ar

1t thus appears from the official figures
that only forty-eight millions of dollars
more were required to run the Govern
ment for seventy one years than Tor nine
years Of Republican ascendency. And
this aggregate from 1889 TO 1880 includes
the wars with Tripoli, England, Mexico,
the Indians, and the purchase Of Louisiana,
Florida and California. The average in
the former cose does not much exceed
twenty millions year, while in the lat
ter it reaches up to one hundred and fiji
ty-five millions per annum, or nearly
eight times the other.
If tho comparison be confined 10 the
fiscal wears lSG0-Gl and lo74-75, and tc
the items which have no connection with
the civil war, the increase exceeds all pro
