And Notwithstanding the solemn
pledges of '.retrenehment," the disburse-
ments for the next succeeding year,
1874, amounted to 81 ,319, 218.00, and
fop the year following, l875-the last
year Of Republican rule-the disburse-
ments amounted to 81, 400, 1872. SO. Since
1875, there has been a steady decrease in
expenses, so that in 1880, the total dis
bursements amounted to 1898, 1913. 38-
the State in the meantime, paying the
bonds issued by the Republicans, and
interest, as they matured. The bonded
debt of the State, on the first day of
January, 1866, amounted to sl,047,-
400. "a. 1t will be seen by the Treasurer's
report that this has been reduced to the
sum of 1915, 900. 90, which will mature,
and will all be paid on the 1st day of
January, 1888.
Auditor Musgrove, in his report for
1873. makes this statement;
sit will be seen, upon a perusal OF 80 49,
reports of this office, that for the past three
years and the present one now before you,
that in no single instance has the receipts
proper reached the expenditures of any
year but, on the contrary, the latter have
far exceeded the former, and hence debt
year after year, to which has to be added
the sum of $2l1 ,635.3S due at the com
meneement Of the present administration"
He further stated that the discount
on the warrants of the State annually
is sufficient to carry on all oar charitable
institutions"
And this, notwithstanding the fact
that in 1872 and 1873, the State tax for
general purposes, was seven mills, and
one mill for bonds and interest-the
boards of supervisors being Limited
and restricted to total levy, including
State tax, of not exceeding twenty-five
dollars on the thousand, The State tax
for 1880 and 1881 is fixed at three mills
on the dollar, including the tax to pay
principal and interest on bonds; and
boards of supervisors are f fr"hi hited, !
except IN niue counties named, from
levying taxes, which, added to the State
tax, will exceed $3.50 on each thous-
and dollars of taxable property.
This is a record that must certainly
the approval of the tax-pay
ers. regardless of party affiliations.
The next Legislature viii be justified in
making still further reduction in the
rate of taxation.
The experience of the State is the ex-
perience of most of the counties. I'm
Ter Republican rule, they were Cypress
I'd with onerous taxation and became
ourthened with debt, but all obligations,
however fradulently incurred, have
been assumed and in many cases entire
y discharged under the operation of
Honest Home Rule.

by the by he is eloquent in speech as his

unstinted support of the party.
Lexington Advertiser.
In reading over our list of Democratic
exchanges, which consist of neWaIapers from
nearly every county III the state, we find
that they give our ticket as enthusiastic
support as it every man on it was their first
choice for the position for which he was
nominated. Only two complained of what
might have been.
