The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-08-29


four years OF Mr. Garhcids and Mr. Ar
thurs administration.
He mentioned this fact in reply to Nj.
Thurman's rccen; speech rs charactoriz'
ing the appropriations of Congress as mon
strous IL was time that the men who
made such statements should be able 20
show wherein the appropriations were
mons,rous, eXtrlvlgap. and wlstelul. II
Congress was making these mOIsirOus ap.
preparations, il had made Sa1 GOA, 200 more
OF them from 1855 30 1850 than 1t had
made from 1881 10 1885, and those appro.
priations had passed the scrutiny not only
OF the Republicans OF both houses, but of
the Democrats rs well.
Mr.. Halo said that one by one the allu-
sions about the present administration
faded, one hy one It's lrc.ous.uu, were cN-
plodel. The speech Of the senator from
Iowa had exploded the assumption That
the administration was au economical. one"
Almost every department ol thr govern
mcnt cost the people more today tAm un.
der former administrations ami % WAS
fortunate that the senator nom Iowa had
exposed of the sham, and pre'uncus
under which the administration was sail.
ING, Aud thurp were other shams which
should be- exposed. For limo the al
minis,u.iOn sailed under the prctcuse Of
being q civil service administration.
1hrn never was an administration
that made wholesale removals like this
or that SO prostitutcl its offices To the uses
OF party politics. There never had been
IN the history OF the government any such
Instance OF the power of administration
used % break down ma.coutcnB and
protosianis in lis own party. The tcsu-
mony taken by the committee Of which he
had the honor TO be chairman, taken IN
the State Of PENNSYLVANIA, showed that
every kind of discipline had been brought
10 bear 10 break down the forces resisting
the administration in the person Of Mr..
Randall. Nothing that could be brought
10 bear in the way Of patronage but what
was bestowed 10 pay men Tor deserving tho
standard OF Randall, 50 that the admin
isiraiion might carry the State. The post.
offices aud cus,om-houscs had be- n
turned into smiCeways through which
might run contributions for partisan pur-
poses. Vet the President had issued u
new order that the civil service rules
must bg enforced with greater strength
and vigor than before. When the fisheries
treaty was rejected the President had
come IA with q message assuming some
now grounds
Tho Senator from Iowa had shown that
ohc administration had expended 80, OOD-
600 mor than lis predecessor. aud when
this exposure should reach the country
We might be- treated 10 n message from the
President declaring that there must be-
more economy holding perhaps that less
money ought a. bee paid for pensions %
soldiers and their wives and children.
