Mr.. Ransom. Now. our readers must I'M

New York's Legislature is Republican,
While her Governor. Flower, is a Demo
rat. When the act providing for this
ommittee Of investigation was passed 1t
a considerable sum for d.

18th a committee Of investigation only
hitch had no authority to pay its ex-
enses The lawyer for the committee,
Mr.. John w. GOif. came forward then
nd agreed that he would defray the ex-
enses. which are very heavy out of his
wn pocket. and we owe the investiga-
ion to that generous act on his part
lone. All honor to him for II. New York
lty certainly will not allow him to be a
ufferer by il, and We are very much
mistaken II she does not pay 1t back to

everely condemn Governor Flower for
is action. He has placed the Democratic
arty OF New York in the position of a
efender of what has been going on in
Jew York. and the world should know
hat the true Democrat abhOrs this sort
t prostitution Of government more cor
tally than any other man. Democrats
II over this Union must take pains to |
reclaim everywhere that they have no

insist that corrupt politics are
he heritage of the Republican party, and
hat they have no place whatever In
counsels. When Democratic
uthority Is used so as to aid fraudulent
ections of legislators senators. con-
rcssmen. or what not, Democracy IL
bused and prostituted. and every true
emOcrat rises up in wrath TO curse and
)ndemn the traitor 10 Democracy who
as dared to put this stigma upon De-
ocracy's everlasting principles.
