REPUBLICAN DEFALCATIoNs.
One of the speakers at the main stand
in front of the City Hall tonight was
Congressman Post, of Pennsylvania, Sec
retary of the Democratic Congressional
Committee. In the course of his speech
he said:
Secretary Mcpherson, of the Repub-
can Congressional Committee, has
issued a circular purporting to show the
losses of the government from Wash
ington's administration down to June
80, 1883, by reason of defalcations of
public officers, and figures out very
discreditable state of offairs for Wash
ington's administration compared with
the present administration and the pre-
ceding immaculate administrations of
Hayes and Grant.
He says the percentage based upon
the receipts and disbursements of the
government, was under Washington
$3.50 on the 81 900, while under Arthur
it is only one and eight-tenths of mill
on the $1,000. He reports the total
amounts stolen under Washington dur
ing his eight years to be $3.50, $40 80,
while all that has been stolen under
Arthur's administration, down to June
80, 1888, is $5,374 90; and on this in
significant sum he bases his PERCENTAGE
of loss on the enormous receipts and
disbursements, and thus gets his one
and eight-tenths of mill as the per-
centage of loss on 81, 600. The Acting
Secretary of the Treasury, Charles E.
Coon, certifies to the correctness of this
statement, August 10, 1884.
This statement of Secretary McPher-
son and the Acting Secretary of the
Treasury as to the amount stolen under
Arthur's administration is so utterly
at variance with the knowledge of every
person who has had the current news
of the past six months that its falsity
was exposed with the statement. But
an examination of the annual report!
of the Solicitor of the Treasury, who il
the law officer of the Treasury Depart
ment, charged with the prosecution O
the defaulting officers of the govern
ment in civic suits, to the Attorney
General for the three fiscal years pre-
ceding June 80, 1883, shows this Nc
Pherson-Coon Statement to be abso
lutely false so far as the amount they re
port as stolen under Arthur's admins
tration is concerned.

Detection In the Ranks.

The Democratic free traders are like
~ t" fail in their purpose to reduce the
farlt. On Monday the Legislature %
New Jersey instructed the members o
congress from that State to oppose Nor
risOl ) bill. The cotton merchants auC
planters in several of the Southerl
States have signiticd their opposition t,
some OF the provisions of this bill. This
action is significant, as it comes from a
section heretofore claimed to be in favor
OF free trade. 1t is blow from al un.
expected qnarter,and yet Mr. Morrison
II is said, is determined to push his bill
and do his part toward eticcting what
he calls revenue reform. With a Dor.
ton Of his party opposed to him, and
an adverse majority in the Senate, with
ont saying anything about a hostile
President, tn" business people of the
country have little to fear from him or
his idiosyncracics. ! 1t isimportant, how
ever, that the party should not be al
lowed to gain the ascendcncy at the
next Presidential election, as in that
event Morrison's power for evil would
he greatly increased. Men who re-
member the Democratic rallying cry,
" Polk, Dallas, Texas and Oregon and
the tarirt Of 1872. will hardly he SO
deceived by the so-callcd revenue re-
formers as to trust the government and
all Its varied interests to their control

Three Barrels.

TIL" New York Tribune says that
Hon. Henry Il. Payne, Of Ohio, will
be- nominated by the Democrats
for the Presidency, as he has the money
barrel, the whiskey barrel and the oil
barrel to support him. The possession
of these three barrels will certainly
commend him to the Democratic party.
by the free use of the contents of these
barrels he controlled the election in Ohio
and won his way to the L. $. Senate.
When the oil barrel fails to keep the
Democratic machinery in working Or
der, the whisky barrel is in readiness to
he tapped.
These elements combined are a great
power, and Tildens barrel in compari-
son with them, unless frequently emp
tied and re-tilled, will have but little
influence with the party magnates. The
log cabins and hard cider of the Har-
rison campaign in 1910, potential as
they may have been in their day, sink
into insigniticance, and the shot guns
in the South may also be superseded, for
1t is certainly more Democratic, if not
more christian like, to win voter by
the use of these lubricants than to coercc
him by load of powder and shot

But what next was done? Though
Wheeler had not been arrested, and
though his tiendish act had even been
endorsed by Democratic mass meeting
he surely could not hold up his head in
society, could he? Oh,yes he could, for
aid not the best citizens assemble in "A
tempe, ance meeting, and afterwards
elect him as one Of their delegates to IA
local option convention? Well, then,
surely the Governor of the State, sworn
to defend the Constitution, enforce the
laws, and protect the citizens, offered a
reward for the apprehension ofWheeler,
did he not? True indeed was il il that
the eye of theGovernor was on the MUIR
derar.
No such act escaped his notice. Some
Governors would have shut their eyes,
that they could not see in such case,
and their ears would have been deaf To
the murderer's gun shot. Not SO with
the Governor Of Mississippi. He saw
and heard all, and he reached forth his
hand and laid it upon the murderer, but
what for ? Listen, oh We voters ofWil-
mington, who love justice, who love
order, who love liberty, who love fair
ness and impartiality He laid his
hand upon him, but only to appoint
him to an important Office.
A witness named Sexton, a Demo
crat, was then asked by Senator Sauls-
bury If he thought it possible for Re
publican TO live in Mississippi without
being shot, and he reluctantly admitted
that it was very doubtful Another
white witness, an Independent, said
that though he was not Republican,

visited by an armed mob before the
election. forbidden to vote. and was ad-
vlsed to leave the country.
