great enthusiasm, and accepted the nominn-
ton. He said if he was elected Mayor, he
should endeavOr to carry out the wishes Of
the caucus
Gen. Henry Boynton presented the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, That we are in favor of the
strictest economy in our city affairs, and the
city officers for the ensuing year are hereby
requested and required to keep the city ex
penditures at the lowest possible sum.
The motion was amended on motion of
Hon. Joseph Baker, by adding land within
the appropriations Mr.. Baker said that to
draw one dollar in excess of the appropria
ton is plainly illegal. If Mayor can draw
one dollar in excess he can draw one thou
sand dollars. 1t is the creation of a one-man
power. and is dangerous practice. We
should not only condemn the practice here
but also Mt the polls.
Gen. Boynton believed that republicans of
the city were in favor of making moderate
appropriations and not overdrawing them.
The resolution was adopted, and the caucus
adjourned.

Much has been said of late in the Standard

economy in city expenditures. Now few
facts are more weighty than whole volumes

the past year of democratic rule, the cxpend-
lures have been so great that the opproprid-
fions hare been orsrdrawH an nearly ere,y
department. The excess of payments to this
date amount to more than nine thousand dol

animation of the Treasurer's books.

Late Saturday evening, the disreputable
Maine Standard issued IL hand-bil headed
Read, Read" in which it does not attempt
to overthrow the above figures or refutc them
1t in fact publishes our array of figures,
oycrdrawn to the amount which we have
stated above, nearly SD. 900. 1t explains that
the ovcrdrawing was necessary on account
of some 50 800 in bills overlapping from the
last wear. But it forgets to say that the pres
ent democratic city government will transmit
THOU SAND DOLLARS of unpaid bills
SO that the appropriations next wear will be
that amount in excess of the usual appropri-
atoms, on account OF Democratic extravaganza
and the misuse of the public money.
But further, we notice from the report of
the Treasurer made last March that the list
of appropriations which they admit they have
overdrawn this year over $4,000, instead of
being overlrawn last year. there were over
$1,000 unexpendcd.
1t is a fact that no intelligent person can
dispute that the amount of unpaid bills will
be larger the coming year than any previous
year since, Augusta was made city. There
is already large number Of bills presented
for payment and awaiting the action of the
proper authorities; and it will be found that
the legacy left by the democratic government
of 1873 will be the richest in our municipal
history.
These facts cannot be refuted. Let the
people think of these things before depositing
their ballots to-day.
