A most conclusive answer to the loose
talk the Democrats are making about cor
ruption in official life is II statement re
Gently prepared at the Treasury depart
ment of the receipts and disbursements of
the Government from its organization I'M
til June of last year, with the amount of
loss and the ratio of such losses per thou
sand. 1t is arranged as nearly as practic-
able in periods of Administered ion. in other
words, it covers the years of Democratic
and Republican administration. 1t shows
COnCluSiVely that the loss under Demo
cratic administration has been much
greater than under Republican admins
tratiOn. In the customs service. for in
stance, the loss per $1,000 prior To June 80,
1861, was -, 10; from first of July, 1861, to
June 80, 1888, the loss per $1,000 was
only 10 cents. From all other sources,
save the pOstotlice department, the loss
during the period prior to 1851 per $1,000
was g, O6 for the period between June 30,
1861, and June3O, 1883, the loss was twenty
seven cents. In the postoffice service for
first period the loss was -. 26 per thousand
dollars, while in the latter period il was
only 81 per thousand. Under the head of
disbursements, the total loss from dis
bursements of all classes per thousand
dollars prior to June 80 1861, was 1921
the tai loss between July |, 1861, and June
30, 1883, was only thirty-nine cents. 1t is
only because n large portion of the people
have no recollection of Democratic admin
istratiOnS that their organs have the cour
age to talk about reform through Il resto
ration of the Democratic party to power.

the dignity and Importance of their move
ment Nothing which inherited money
and the shades Of illustrious ancestors could
do to advertise it has been neglected. Threats
against the republicans and promises to
the democrats have been INDUCED in lavishly.
The first opportunity to show what estimation
the democrats placed upon this much-vaunted
NOV .ment was given last week, and this is
the result:
In the tidal wave of 1852, Theodore Ly-

the Boston boilers held, charging that Mr..
Blaine was known among his neighbors in
Maine AS one accustomed to use diSreputabie
methods in politics, and asserting that Sena-
tor Logan was "honest. but illiterate."
Every occasion since has been improved by
Mr. Lyman to make good his claim to be
numbered as one of the inner circle of boilers
and TO give aid and comfort to the enemies
of publican
Last week the democratic convention OF
the ninth district met to place in nomination
a candidate for Congress. Mr.. Lyman's
friends plead for an endorsement of his
course. They claim that no man had done
more than he had to try and inJure the repub
licans and help the democrats He had NAL
igned the republican pr, sid, ntial candidate,
and when proof of the falsity of his charges
were presented to him, he had in true demo-
cratic style studiouslv neglected to notice
them. He descended far enough himself
also to write letter to a prominent democrat
explaining such obnoxious points in his
record as showed an objectionable leaning
towards republicani>m
1t was very little favor that Mr.. LYMAN
and his boiling brethren asked. There is no
possibility ct the democrats carrying the dis
triCt unlt SIS thew can get large independent
vote. and this could be secured only by the
denomination of Mr.. Lyman Small as the
favor was. however the democrats contempt
uously refused to grant it. They did not
consider the boiling republican strength of
enough Importance to balance even the
empty honor of a nomination to Congress in
a safe republican district With an expires
sion of disgust at the presumptuousness of
the republican beggars they turned around and
nominated a straight democrat And this is
the end. After hoasting ana Dragging of their
strength for months and wallowing in the
mud to aid the democrats, the boilers find
that their new allies do not consider them of
enough Importance to warrant the granting
of even a cold political p jtato Pht}a, Press.

The circular issued by the democratic

funds wherewith to continue the campaign,
has been sent among others, to all the brew
ers in this city and vicinity. This has been
followed by personal appeals to them and to
many of the proprietors of the lager beer
shops and liquor stores in this city, for aid
tor the National and State committees, the
applicants urging that the democratic party
has always been friendly to the liquor inter
est. 1t is understood that Excise Commits
sioners Mitchell and Hsughton, the demo-
cratic members of the board, have either
directly or through agents, been instrumental
in collecting moneys from the liqaor and beer
sellers for political purposes There have
been intimations that applicants for licenses
have found it much easier to get them, or
to have those about to expire renewed. when
they have made donation for political
purposes, or aided in forming Cleveland and

ablsze with republican enthusiasm. the result
of the presence of the party leaders. The

topic SO engrossing to the public mind as the

dents and addresses concurrent with the
presence of Mr.. Blaine and General Logan
1t is evident that their coming has put fire
and life into the republican canvass. The
republican ranks feel the inspiriting magne

in his own State. That the democrats feel
corresponding depression is evident from the
