rhieving Demoorattc Treasurers.

The mugwumps, free traders, and the
Democratic press of all degrees of that
criminal partnership, are making a des-
perate effort to besmirch the official rec
ord of Chairman Quay of the Republican
National Committee on trumped up
charges of speculation with state funds
when he was treasurer of the State of
Pennsylvania. Nearly every Democratic
state treasurer in the nation for num-
Der of years past has been thief or q
defaulter! The publication of the records
of their stealings has caused o vigorous
search by all the Democratic press and
its yermin to find some off-setting crime
upon the part of Republican treasurers.
Not being able to find single instance
where any proof can be adduced of NAL
feasance on the part of Republican
state treasurer they are, in desperation,
bowling in unison over this untrue
and exploded old charge against
Senator Quay In Pennsylvania in
1885, when he was candidate for treas
urer Of that state. Pennsylvania passed
upon these untrue charges, which have
recently been revived as something new,
in 1885, and Quay was elected Treasurer
by 43,516 majority Pennsylvania took
about as much stock in the TRADES of
the Democrats then as it does in the
ranting of the badly demoralized free
traders, now. The people are not to be
misled by the efforts of the vile partisan
press to draw attention away from the
thievery of the rascally Democratic
State TreasurerS, who have bankrupted
the Treasury Of nearly every State that
has had Democratic Treasurer during
the past ten years. The census returns
show that Democratic thievery and
speculation have increased the debt of
Indiana So, 476, 900 in ten years. Here Is
the record of Democratic thievery shown
by the State Treasures in eleven Demo-
cratic States within the past ten years:
Indiana, numerous reform" thieves $8, At 600
Louisiana, reform" State Treasurer. 793, 600
Georgia, reform" State Treasurer. 10000
Kentucky, reform" State Treasurer. 100000
Virginia, reform" State Treasurer. -, 10000
Tennessee, reform" State Treasurer. 100000
Missouri, reform" State Treasurer. $4,000
Mississippi, reform State Treasurer. 315,612
Maryland, reform" State Treasurer. 189 900
Arkansas, reform" State Treasurer. 1l5,476
Alabama, reform State Treasurer -, 100000
These evidences of Democratic thiev-
cry are all matters of public record.
They are not trumped up charges, as is
the case with the reform" howl against
Senator Quay. Pennsylvania, by full
State vote, has declared Quay innocent.
The records prove all the charges against
the thieves, who have been the Demo
cratic reform" treasurers in the States

A STRANGE and from a scientific point

A STRANGE and from scientific point
Of view an interesting discovery has
been made at Hermannstadt, in Hun
gary. The bodies of several Honveds.
proved to have fought in 184S, were
found in disused salt mine. How the
soldiers got there is mystery. The
salt had so thoroughly penetrated the
bodies that they were as well preserved
as if they had been kept in spirits. In
consequence of this discovery expert
ments will be made in the medical
schools of Vienna, Budapest and Ber-
lin for testing the value of a concen-
trated solution of salt in preservation
of corpses.
A BIDDEFoRD lawyer has made one
of the longest writs on record in
Maine It proceeded. from suit
brought by one yarney, Kennebunk
Quaker, against Mr.. Ferguson, Bid
defcrd sash and blind manufacturer,
and contained an account annexed
covering fortytwo sheets of long bill
paper. The reason for the extraordi-
nary length of the bill was that the
two men have traded together since
1866 and have never had settlement,
as they kept their accounts very nearly
even all the time. Mr.. Varney, a
short time ago, thought there was q
balance due him, and this Ferguson
disputed, hence the suit. 1T took o
week to transcribe the long account.
