The Portland daily press., 1876-08-11

THE latest Democratic illustration of re-
trenchment Is the proposal to Fay ex-Door
keeper Fitzhugh's salary for two months af-
ter he was discharged. Schell also, ostensi-
bly, discharged from the service of the House
for misdoings, is still under pay. The next
move will be to pension Hambleton, the ad-
mirer of Wilkes Booth. The insincerity of
Democratic professions of retrenchment is
shown by the admission of leading Demo-
cratic Congressman who acknowledged that
the appropriation for the Post-Office Depart
ment was insufficient, but added that deficien-
cy bills could easily be passed at the next ses.
sion, and that meanwhile the Democrats
would enjoy the credit of reducing the public
expenditures.
The Portland daily press., 1876-08-11
Sham Economy.

The falsity of Democratic professions OF
retrenchment and reform, and the entire
want of legislative ability in the Democratic
leaders have never been more clearly demon
strated than by Mr.. Hale of this state on
the floor of the House Tuesday last in review
ing the session and its results. His address
was scathing exposure of the mock re-
formers, clear exposition of the hollowness
of their pretenses of economy, and con-
vincing proof of their inability to effect bene-
fetal legislation. When the House assem-
bled last December it was controlled by a
majority elected on promises of reform, on
questions of civil service reform, of relief
from taxation and other general issues. Mr.
Hale showed that none of these questions
had been treated, but that on the conkary
the House embarked on wild crusade Of in
vestigation. Its idea of civil service reform
lost his leg in the Union army, man who
had served in j. E. B. Stuart's cavalry, and
for his subordinates, most of them old Union
soldiers, men of rebel sympathies, many of
whom had served in the rebel army; to sub
stitute for competent and faithful officers
Hambleton, who named his child after the
assassin of Lincoln, and Fitzhugh, who ped
died out all the positions under his control.
Mr.. Hale then proceeded to show, what
indeed is patent to the country, that the
House has entirely ignored all the great
questions of finance and commerce and has
resolved itself into smelling committees
which have expended great sums of money
in Investigations which, in almost every in
stance have been fruitless. 1t has claimed
that it has effected great reductions in public
expenditures, but many of these have been
reductions at the expense of the army, the
navy and the consular system, and Others
have been merely postponements of necessa-
ry expenditures for which deficiency bills
must be brought in at another session. The
House itself has been the most extravagant.
ever known. The expenses of the commit
tees have been enormous, more clerks have
been employed than in any Republican House
and the expense of the session above the or
binary expenses of former years will reach
million dollars.
While the public business has thus been
neglected, Southern claims TO the Eamount
of $160,000,000 are pending, and the COM
mittees of the House have been constructed
in the Southern interest. OF the thirty-four
standing committees the chairmanships of
twenty-one have been given to Southern
members. In the event of Democratic sue
cess this fall the claims will be recommended
through the committees and pushed through
the House, and the Treasury will be draiued
to pay the bills.
These are but few points of Mr.. Hale's
very able speech, speech strong in argument
and rich in facts, and one which should be
distributed in every Congressional District in
the North.

Tilden'S Canvass.

NAOAl IAC IN0W 1OIh 1llDuut.l
The friends of Governor Tildeu are pushing
his canvass with thorough system and organ
ization. While the headquarters of the Demo-
cratic National Committee are seemingly at
the Everett House. the actual work of the cam
paign is in progress at No. SO Liberty street, in
the office of Col. Pelton, Governor Tilden's
nephew, who is charged with the execution of
the confidential details of the campaign, as
sisted by w. s. Andrews, the Secretary of the
committee. Several lsoffices have been engag-
ed ON the second floor of No. SO Liberty street,
and these are divided by partitions into several
sections, enabling better division of labor to
be made. About thirty clerks are occupied in
folding and mailing campaign documents and
attending to the campaign correspondence, etc.
As many Republicans state that Governor Til
den's greatest strength is in his remarkable
powers OF organization, some curiosity has
been felt to know precisely what his aids were
doing.
w. s. Andrews, the secretary of the execu-
tive committee, while declining to reveal any
OF the mere important points of the canvass, on
the ground that he did not wish to furnish sug
gestions to the opposition, proessed a willing
ness to give such general information as lay in
his power. He said that the great strength of
the Republican party was its organization,
based on the nucleus of $4,000 office-holders.
For the past twenty years the Democratic party
Gov. Tiden's great organizing power. which
became so conspicuous in the canvass resulting
in bis election as governor of this state, was
now applying throughout the country. The
electioneering was done on military basis.
The national committee represents the army,
the state committee the corps which composed
it, and so on through the several local commit
tees or organizations. The work was divided
SO systematically that he (Mr. AndreNs)
would be enabled to give the name of each
voter throughout the United States, his poll-
tics, and the way he voted at the last election,
in time to be of service before the election.
No labor was spared to reach the voter. Vol
umes containing the names of all independ
ents and democrats of influence were left at
the office, and 2600 newspapers were furnished
with editorial and news matter and Tilden
Campaign documents.
These documents consisted Of Gov. Tilden's
annual message, his letter of acceptance, his
record as reformer-introducing extracts from
Republican papers laudatory of his work. Gov.

WHAT fortunate thing it would have
been for the Argus and candidate Talbot if
he had been deprived of his rattle as well as
bis fangs in 1866. He couldn't have made
that remark about not giving cent to pay
the expense of a Black Republican war which
resulted so differently from what he predicted
and desired.

AN article in the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal recently denounced as false the state
ment that the rebel flag was raised in Law
renceburg, in that state, on July fourth, and
called for proofs, which the Commercial now
furnishes in the shape of number Of affida-
wits from respectable and well known citizens
of LaWrenceburg.

Mr.. RANDALL's obstinacy in regard to the
salaries of Congressman is calling forth much
unpleasant comment, some of it from his
own party associates. 1t is remembered that
three years ago he was prominent in the
salary grab conspiracy, and that at the next
session he voted against repeating that act,
and boasted of retaining the money, sayiug
that it was impossible for Congressman to
live deceptly and honestly on less than
$500 year. 1t is matter of regret to his
personal friends that he has consented, at the
dictation OF his party, to hereafter live inde

THE Argus gets itself into terrible rage
because the head of its ticket was so indis-

DEMOCRATIC papers in the East ask us to
believe that the soft-money Democrats of the
West, the men who have been clamoring for,
initiation and reputation for years, are united
in favor of the repeal of the resumption act
because that act hinders return to spe.
eIe payments! This is taxing credulity
too heavily. If the friends of rag-money
really believed the act of 1875 hindrance to
resumption they would eagerly support it.

THE argus speaks of the "slums of Wash
ingtoD County," assuming, we presume, that
there must be ''sums' therein simply be-
cause it CHANGED to go Democratic last fall.
It's hardly fair, because Washington County
will go Republican in September.
