President Harrison has completed
one-half of his administration 1t would
e difRcult, IL not impossible, to match
it in the history of cur country in tur-
Pitude and corruption Its record is
such as no American, with a feeling of
respect and love for his country, can
contemplate with Indifference. It IS a
record Of evil administration. of foul
deeds, of betrayal OF the people
The sacred trust which Grover CleVe-
land surrendered Tnto the hands of Ben
jamin Harrison. two years ago. Unsul-
lied and uastained- has been dragged in
the mire Of corruption, and is now the
scoff and scOrn OF the world Every
department of the government, which
was then a model of honest, economical
administration, has since become an
unclesn thing, permeated with the pol
son of the spOils system, rank partisan
ship and private ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The ordinary expenses OF government
have vastly increased, until each de-
partment has become a reservoir OF cor
ruptiOn, eStravagance, fsvoritism and
abuse of power. The treasury has been
made the common prey of every one
who helped materially to put Harrison
in the white house.
The third or fourth rate Indiana law
yer, the law partner OF the president,
who was foisted into the position of at
tOrney general. has brought his impOr-
tant department down to the level OF
pettifOggers and legal sharks The
secretary of state has bungled some of
the most important international ques-
. lions, which his predecessor so ably
handled, and has evolved a queer
scheme of jug handled reciprocity,
which he calls craftsmanship. The
secretary of the interior has so mis-
managed his department as to make
his administration the shame of the
country.
The pension Office is rotten to the
core. One wretched, discredited com
missioner has been kicked out, and a
worse one put in his place. The Indian
bureau has been conducted in such a
manner that an expensive war has been
precipitated on the country, and reli
giOus bigOtry has been permitted to in
jure the conduct OF the Indian schools
The land grabbers have again swoOPeC
down upon the public domain, and the
census has evoked the heartiest con
demnatiOn of the entire country. There
is not one redeeming feature about th'
entire administration of the various
bureaus of the department of the in
