THE TRUE DEFICIENCY.
Cnngress appropriated all that the
Postmaster General asked-namely, s5,-
900 900 for the same period-and Bra
.dy's true deficiency would therefore be
S1,l55 ,538. Even this deficiency could
be created only by Brady's deliberate
violation OF the statutes, which positive
~ forebids an officer to incur expenses
beyond the amount appropriated, But
in letter to Congress on the 9th Of De
cember the Postmaster General asked
for deficiency appropriation of 81, 750,
90, and for s250, 900 more for new and
additional service, aud -ss-t Cor tha-xisi-

Congressman to $500 a year. Having
been appointed on Committee of Confer
ence between the House and Senate on tie
back-pay question, he made a speech
March 8, 1879, in which he stated that
he had opposed the proposal for an increase
In committee, ''as l have been opposed to
q it in the discussion and in my votes
here y and at the same time he pointed
out the extent of the drain upon the Treas
ury which the grab would establish. He
was one of the first members to return his
back salary to the Treasury, and his entire
record on the question is consistent and
upright.
These are the charges which the Demo-
Gratis have made against General Garfield.
Nothing else has been raked up notwith-
standing the most anxious scrutiny. And
after the showing we have here made of
the actual facts, our readers will probably
not be surprised that the Democratic resi-
dent committee at Washington should
have concluded that it was useless TO at
tempt to make the campaign on the basis
of such meager and diaphanous accusa-
tions. In fact General Garfeld's record is
not vulnerable, and this the Democrats are
rapidly discovering. The Republicans will
afford their opponents every facility for
making their Investigations, however, and
will at all times be most happy to answer
any questions that may be put to them in
this connection.
