party was dead-'mt no such thing is said
now. Now it WIS recognized as formid-
able foe. Thsre must be truth in the
principles Of q party that is able
fs7 twenty three three years to flourish under con-
slant defeat. The time is coming, and soon,
when the Republican party viii die, and that
will come 5 soon as it is deprived OF the
power of patronage. Over quarter OF
million more votes were cast for the Demo-
cratic candidate for President in 1876 than
for any other candidate. The Democracy In
California put its candidates in the field In
June last. The Republicans said this wss
al error. 1t was not. The Democracy de-
sired the people TO have long and thorough
examination Of the ticket. It is one that
has borne the test, and the result is
confidence that presages Its tri-
umph. The enemy attacked the Demo- nai
cratic platform because OF the so-caued
Sunday plank. Yet after two months OF
study the Republicans have evolved plank
which It's own organs refuse to accept. The
Democracy is in favor Of removing from the
statute book law that is Ineffective and

right on the part of his neighbor. he then

The Legislatures of 1880 and 1881 made

balance of S7S, 696 "a, which went over
as a surplus to the Perkins administration.
Deducting SIS 696 a from So, 751, 4S2 95,
we have S5,672, 7S6 II as the total expendi,

Thus it appears that the expenditures from
the general fund for the Booth administration
were 81, els, 036 81 greater than those for thu
Irwin administration.
Also, the expenditures from the genera

Thus showing the tax levy for The genera
