now THE MONEY WAS STOLEN

now THE MONEY WAS STOLEN.
John sherman, in his speech opening
the Ohio political campaign, dwclt
proudly on the result Of the examination
of the books in the treasurcr's office,
when they were taken possession of by
Democratic treasurer. Every account
was verified, and there was Il discrepancy
of only two cents between the figures of
the books and the money on hand; and
the missing copper was found on the
floor where it had fallen. This, Mr..
Sherman thinks, is vndication of Re-
publican honesty, and refutation of the
oft-rcpeatcd Democratic charges of ras-
cality in office.
Mr.. Sherman did well to make much
of this, for 1t was all his stock He
carefully RETAINED from saying anything
about the revelations that have been
made in other departments of the gov
eminent. Tho treasury department does
not comprehend the whole government,
and the late Republican book-kcepcrs are

OF rascality on their records. There are
more ways of dishonesty getting money
than by taking IL from the treas
ury vaults, and the Republican
thieves were smart enough to take
1t the safer way. They filed all depart
mcntS with useless clerks and assistants,
who drew big salaries and did no work.
brief reference to the changes that
have taken place and the discoveries that
have been made since the ith of March
viii show what Mr.. sherman suppressed
in his apostrophc to the honesty and yir-
tue of the Republican party.
One of the first acts of Mr.. Manning,
after making himself acquainted with the
needs of the treasury department, was to
discharge number OF clerks whose
salaries aggregated 100000 wear.
The work is as efficiently done
without them. The money they
drew from the government was use
lesSly squandcred and was as dishonesty
lost rs If ii had been ,ilchcd from the
treasury by burglars.
Next 1t was discovered that DR.. I.orlng, |
the commissioner OF agriculture, had
used $4,000 without warrant of law. and
for which the government had nothing TO
show.

been Illegally used, and the members had
taken government money to purchase
$500 gold watches for themselves.
In the pension department the same
corruption and extravaganza were found.
involving an annual loss to the govern.
ment OF hundreds of thousands of dollars
The latest discovery, which has inst
come to light, is in connection with the
Alabama claims commission. Attorneys
judges, clerks and examiners have been
put IN position, at salaries ranging from
$1,000 to $4,000 year, for whom no
provision had ever been made. They
