adding a single mill to the State tax. He
claims that this was accomplished through
the cutting down of the expenses by the
last Legislature. He must have drawn
on his fertile imagination, or called to
mind some eXtrayagant statement made
during the heat of last falls campaign, by
some Fusion orator, when the people
were told what great tcats in finance the
FuSionists would pertorm otherwise he
never could have made a statement so

and reform. Another may hc found in
the increased expense of the Governor
and Council last year. Then if more eX-
amples are wanted. We would advise an
inquiry into the economical manner by
which ADJ Gen. Ieavitt disburSed the
$1,000 he drew from the appropriation for
