WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION mas
DONE,


The Albany Argus thus shows what
the Administration Of President Cleye-
land has done In the first four months
Of its existence: "The complicated sys-
tom Of red tape and bookkeeping which
served to hide corruption and dlsrepnia'
bic practices, has been swept from the
departmental, and simpler and honeser
methods substituted. Fraud which was
10 long concealed has been unearthed,
and every office has undergone thor
ough process Of dlslnfecIion' The pen
sion frauds, which were eating away
the very vitals OF the Government have
been removed from the rolls by General
Black, and the bureau made what II was
intended TO be, for the benefit of those

has made such reductions In the ex'

and instead OF dishonest postmasters he
will have an efficient, reliable working

mated the schemes OF those who hoped
to draw q nice sun from the Treasury
In the shape of steamship mail sub
sldIes. In the Trea'hry Department
the reduction Of expenses has been
most notable, and the death blow
has been given to custom house
frauds and internal revenue swindles.

the professed politicians of the Repub'
