MIR. KELLY's FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

New YORK. Oct. "a. 1879.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
VIII you be good enough to remind Comptroller
Kelly that sufficient time has now elapsed since his
return to city to have afforded hin an opportunity
OF looking over his official records and statements.
and that the business men and Of New York
expect from him more concise and satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION OF his various conflicting financial state
ments of citys debt than he has thus given?
Permit me to say. Incidentally
First-That his claim that "the permanent debt of
the city during his administration has been reduced
upward OF $S.sooo0o Is entirely erroneous mot to
characterize 1t by any harsher term). IL we go by
the records.
Second-rhat his statement that "all the revenue
bonds ISSUED in anticipation OF taxes) are paid of
By the taxes received each year. is also untrue,
the following, taken from his statement Of
August 80, 1879. will show
Revenue bonds outstanding. issued in 1877 S800OO0
Revenue bouds outstanding. issued In 1878 1851 900
Add revenue bonds outstanding. issoed in
1879 to september ~. ....... 17,7oT 800
A9sin when Mr. Kelly states tha. tho ae1t as it
exists the first day OF August in each year. is
proper comparison" think he stretches the truth
just little. II not proper comparison why not.
But will not enter into details in this letter.
One thing more. however. it is proper that should
state in answer to Mr.. kelys claim that his varied
conflicting statements are entirely due to the In
and decrease in the amount OF outstanding
revenue bonds at various dates which is as
follows:-
In October, 1878. no stated the funded debt less
sinking fund" ssS.353.927 II. while he now
states (September 80. $780, the 'bonded debt less
sinking fund.-" at sl26 .765 Oi-a difference Of
s37, ,923, 1897 81; while the total revenue
bonds issued in any one year. during Mr. Kelys
torn of office. has certainly exceeded $25 600
and probably not SO. 100000!
Some moro plausible excuse than this will be nee
essary In order clear up these very contradictory
statements the part Of trusted official. aud il he
still thinks have ''no practical knowledge" OF this
subject am quito willing to meet him before his
constituents and openly discuss the matter for
an evening. of hand aud let them decide Very re-
specttuly yours. WM. II. MORRELL.

1t is understood the President anticipates con.

nation of Secretary McCrary for the vacancy in tho
Circuit made by the resignation of Judge Drum
mond during the first week of the session.
Nominations for the English and Russian mis-
time. While the of the gentlemen to
be believed be above criticism there is
but little hope for speedy confirmation Of these ap-
pointments. For this it is deemed advisable
not to make the selection known until it has been
officially transmitted to the Senate.
Tho administration confidently expects the sue
of the republican ticket in New York. which,
with the recent victory in Ohio wilI it is thought
not incline the democratic majority to regard with
favor any of its propositions.
COURSE OF THE GREENBACK PARTY-LETTER
FROM THE CHAIRafAN OF THE NATIONAL
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
F. P. Devices. chairman of the National Executive
Committee Of the greenback party. has written a
letter to prominent member OF the party in regard
to unity Of action in future political campaigns in
which he says:-
To promote harmony a conference Of committees
representing greenback and labor organizations
should be held am gratifed to learn that this is
also view. have since the receipt of let
ter written to the Hon. Thompson H. Murch. chair
man OF the National Greenback Congressional Com
mittee. urging him to unite in the conference
suggested. and have doubt but that he will do
SO, inasmuch as the Greenback Congressional Com
mittee consists of our members Of Congress. I
would suggest further that the meeting be held in
Washing ton during the first week in December.
