The further the investigation of
the fraudulent State bond matter
goes the worse it gets to be. In
all something like $750,000 worth
of bonds that should have been de-
stroyed are found to be on the mar
ket, and the probability is that
some of the officials connected with
the former administration will have
hard work to keep out of the peni-
tertiary.

The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1889-01-05

THE inordinate Repub lean greed
for Office receives no better illus
tration than the present injusti
fable attacks that are being made
in the organs of that party upon
the postal service. From these il
would appear that throughout Pres
ident Cleveland's term the manage
ment of the Post Office Depart
ment has been wholly bad, and that
nothing short of Il "clean sweep" OF
all the Democratic officials would
restore it to that degree of perfec-
tiOn that it attained under Repub-
lican administration. The attack
usually takes the form ofa general
inefficiency against the service,
but among the more unscrupulous
of the organs it sometimes assum es
the shape of an atrocious Juggling
and invention of figures and facts
to bear them out in their course.
a Washington dispatch elsewhere
very conclusively shows up the ut
ter dishonesty of the organs, and
plainly intimates the cause of their
phenomenal zeal for a "reform" of
the department. While there is
no doubt some complaint existing
in postal matters, as there always
has been and always will be, nine
tenths of which has its origin in
the carelessness of letter writers
and other patrons of the service,
yet it is fact susceptible Of over
whelming proof that at no time in
the history of the country have
our postal affairs been so we'll and
honestly managed as under the
present administration. This is
not only the evidence of the ofiic-
ial records, but also largely the
testimony Of the largest private
patrons of the service. There are
few democrats who will
begrudge the "hungry and thirsty"
all the spoils of the
government that they are en-
titled to but their attempt to
pave the way for "clean sweep"
by an indecent and indefensible at
yack on the present management
Of the department merits swift
condemnation. Let them take the
,flices, but do it boldly as spoils-
.eekers, not AS sneaks and pretend
I'D 1reformers."
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1889-01-05
Thrift Reform.

The meeting of the Massachu-
sets Tariff Reform League, in
Boston on the evening of the 2S ult.
was great success, not alone in
numbers, but in the character and
prominence of those present. Sec
retary Fairchild was the principal
guest, and College officers and pro-
fessors were present in force. Let
ters were read from President
Cleveland, Hon. John G. Carlisle
and others.
The cause of Tariff Reform has
come to stay, and there is no lag
ging or faltering among its friends
who believing that unnecessary
taxation is unjust taXation," will
continue the fight until the whole
land awales to the enormity of
the injustice. Organize and keep
the ball rolling.
