What the Democrats Would Do.

they have been ip power in the city for .
great many years, and in the State at dit.
ferent times during the past twenty five
years. By looking carefully at the record
that party has mnde in the city and State
we can get good idea Of what the M.
tional Government would DO in their
hands To show what this record has
been We quote the following from the
speech OF Hoa. Chauncey Depew made at
large meeting in New York city recent.
ly:
The Democratic party haye in the last
25 years repeatedly had possession Of
this great State for experimental purposes.
During the same period the Republican,
have been continuously in power at Wash.
ngton. With so copious an opportunity,
they would long ago have elected Presi.
dent but for their failures in New York
Every trial is followed by distrust in the
State and terror in the Nation. The can
al, that grand waterway to which we owe
80 much of our commercial prosperity and
superiority, furnished always the field for
the highest craftsmanship But look at the
results. In eight years the Democrats
paid off So, DOC, 900 OF the canal debt; then
the Republicans tried it for years and
paid of Sl1 100000. The business OF run
ming the canals furnished the best tests
for capacity and integrity. The Demo.

900, 900, while the Republicans got along
equally well for similar period with on

aged, always yielded handsome surplus
over and above all expense. II was again
question Of capacity and integrity.
The Democrats accumulated in eight
years 80, 100000 and the Republis."-
1875, 600, 900.
There never yet was time III State, ir
corporate or individual affair. when close
attention, intelligent application. rigid
economy and competent employees, did mol
beat and bankrupt that loose and partisan
policy which takes care Of the largest pos
sible number OF political workers at the
expense OF the business. The Democratic
party came into possession last fall Of ev-
ery branch OF the State Government under
circumstances which called for the most
unselfsh patriotism. With tidal wave
majority ri 100000 behind and the Presl
dental election before, it had every incent

proval. But with the recklessness OF
gambler and the prodigality OF q spend.
thrift it has utterly squandered this mag
nificent estate. Its volume Of laws pre-
sent no relief or reform, but is weary
waste OF laws for local purposes or new
offices and salaries. Our chaotic system
OF taxation was gingerly touched and then
abandoned and new sources OF revenue
