he had paid three million dollars Of pub
lie debt He would say it had been re-
duced. Whether one administration has
right to crow over another, because it had
convinced the public creditor that he had
nothing to expect, and a great deal to
apprehend, from q combined disinclina-
ton and inability to pay, we can not say.
1t is an unkindly thrust at most prom
inent Democratic candidate. For, if in
the heaviest financial obligations of the
city he has overlooked such important
economies as those executed by his imme-
date successors, how can he be expected
to provide for the financial exigencies of the
State? The logical deductions from this
demonstrated superiority of the present
over the Fast, is that the city Administra-
tors should be promoted to the conduct of
State affairs. Such we do not understand
to be the aspiration Of the city Admins
traitors Administrator Burke again says:
The Mayor and Administrators have re-
ceived but half pay since July l, and are
ready again to make any sacrifice the ne
cessities Of the city may demand.
From this we suppose that the Admins
traitors would continue to make this half
price sacrifice and undertake the further
reduction of the public debt and tax rate
for another term. Will any applicant
make the sacrifice for less? Let the DEM
ocratic patriots say.
