To Endorse Any such Administration q
that of Grover Cleveland.

that of Grover Cleveland.
The people Of this state know what a Dem
o:ratic administration OF state affairs is.
they have been there, and after one term of
Hoadly and the accompanying evils, want
no more of it, The national disorder Of the
same character Is no better Under the
Democratic national administration which
came in with Grover Cleveland, there came
also the most reckless and profligate waste Of
the public moneys. The boasted economy In
public expenditures have proved exactly
the reverse, as the Democrats in charge of
national affairs acknowledge IN their an
nual reports, though careful not to let the
facts get in their campaign documents
The secretary Of the treasury reports at the
end Of the fiscal year 1856, a deficiency of
over IS, 600, 900, and his estimate for neces-
sary expenditures for the fiscal year ending
June 81. 1887, submitted to congress, was
over Sil2,0OO,OOO. Congress appropriated
over S:sS4, ,0OO, 900, which only included sl4,
900, 600 to cover the deficiency of SIS, ,OO0 900,
and vet this sum exceeded the amount ap-
propriated for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1855, by 500 OO0, 900. The estimated receipts
for the year ending June -, 1887, are sS6d,-
OOO,000 This will leave deficiency of over
81, ,OO0, ,OOl, and when you add to that the
$Il,OO0,O 600 deficiency of last year unprovided
for, you have a fair example Of the manner
in which this administration is running the
financial branch of the national government
The $40, ,0O0, 900 surplus the Republicans left
in the treasury in 1884 is likely TO be expended
and wasted before we have new administra-
ton.
1t requires a hardihood almost sublime to
ask reasonable and intelligent men TO en-
dorse such an administration, and yet that is
what the Democrats OF Ohio are to-day ask
ing. and vote for the Democratic ticket in
this state will be All unqualified endorsement
of this miserable inanceering and disastrous
management
Yet there is more that this administration
has done, which Gen. Noyes expresses as fol-
lows:
I'VE have had a year aud half of this ad-
ministration. the chief distinction Of which
has been the vetoes by the president of scores
of bills, granting small pensions to our bull
let ridden veterans or the families of dead
soldiers, after such bills had passed a Demo
cratic house and a Republican senate, and
the approval of a bill placing Fitz John Por
ter on the retired list of the army with high
rank and large pay; the submission, with
hardly protest, to the seizure of American
fishing vessels by the dependencies OF pow
erful nation, and the bullying of a weak and
friendly sister republic for an imaginary or
extremely doubtful grievance; and lastly,
the illustration of Democratic civil service,
which reforms competent Republicans out of
Office and incompetent Democratic politicians
into the places which their predecessors had
filled with integrity and ability. II there is
anything else which this admin is ration has
done worthy OF mention it has escaped my
memory"
Certainly citizens of Ohio can fini nothing
to indorse in Grover Cleveland's sdministra
tion, and il is an insult to their intelligence
TO ask their Endorsement of it
