The above, including the Swartwout aud
Hoyt defalcations, will make the sum 81, 57l,-
273 This fearful Indictment ought to be
enough to settle all pretentions of the Demo
cratic party to anything like honesty. If they
all stole at the above rate. with the compari.
lively limited resources of the government al
that time, what would they do now if they were
again placed in power? Take, for example, the
Swartwout case. A defalcation in those days
and under the circumstances of 81, :s25,-
0oO would be equal to about s20,0oO.-
COO now, considering the advance. in
the revenue os the port of New York
in 1880 and in 1884. In view of the
above facts and the failure of the democracy
to make good the charge of corruption against
the republican party, and the positive evidence
on record of democratic knavery and dishones-
ty, candid and honest public men and all par
ties should unite in depreciation of such par
ty, and cast their votes and influence for the
men and party whose aim have always been
honest, and whose glorious record stands out
in such striking contrast with the overwhelm-
ing and irrefutabl evidence of democratic dis
honesty.

fered resolution in the senate Of the United
States calling upon the treasury for report
of defalcations between the years 1861 and 1876

the campaign of the latter year Senator
Sherman offered an amendment to make the
report cover prior Democratic administrations.

containing great deal OF mighty Interesting

compiled from the report was printed, but

1t Is said that in 1880 it was proposed by GER
