Giles which cannot be immediately overcome,

With all the red tape to government dis.
bursements, and Notwithstanding the long
line of watchdogs to see that nobody but
themselves shall have easy access 10 the
Treasury, there have been some extraordi.
nary examples of looseness and loss TO the
government There was defalcation of
about $75, 900 in the office of the Sergeant
alarms of the House OF Representatives of
the 5Oth Congress. The cashier upon whom
the blame was located is still supposed to
be fugitive from justice, though as all the
people pecuniarily concerned got their mon.
ey back, no one is taking any trouble to ap.
prehend him. 1t had long been the prac-
tice for the Sergeant-at.Arms to take the pay
receipts Of the Members in advance, collect
the money from the Treasury and hold it
subject to his check. He was the banker
for the House, rather than disbursing officer
of the government. His accounts were Eot
SuDJeCt W eAdulndtlOn. l1e udnuleu nearly
two millions Of dollars annually on faith,
and it is understood carried balance of
about $4,000 nearly all the time-certainly
during the recess. The Sergeant. at Arms
was bonded officer, but at the time of his
defalcation he was holding over 10 new
Congress until his successor should qualify,
and bis bond was only good for his regular
term. One of the Members took the case
into court. 1t was decided that the Ser.
geant al. Arms was really disbursing off Ger
of the government A new appropriation
of $4,000 was made and paid over again.
Now comes the startling announcement
that the accounts of the Librarian of Con
gress, who appears to have been literary
rather than a business man, are SO dread
fully loose and tangled that it is impossible
for experts to tell the extent of his indebt-
edness to the government.
No data seems to be acceptable for the
greater portion Of his time of service. The
known shortage is said to be in the neigh
borhood of thirty to thirty five thousand
dollars. Where have the watch dogs been !?
We see ii stated that Mr. Spofford has
placed to the credit of the government some
$25 900 to cover his Indebtedness.

WHERE ARE THE WA TON D0Gsg

The government of the United States, 1t
is said, is hard paymaster, Men who have
had bills against il for supplies, printing
advertising, SC, know something about the
long rigmsrole they must go through to get
the money due them. Claims Of different
sort wend their way through Congress, the
Court of Claims and the Treasury Depart
ment, and generations pass in and out be-
fore final settlement is reached. The
French spolation claims had devious life
of century, and when finally ordered paid
were largely in the hands of spectators
who had bought them upfor song. Even
after a claimant is allowed by an act of Con-
gress to go into Court with his case, and
after the Court has allowed his account and
an appropriation has been made for its pay
ment, process frequently occupying years,
an army of watch dogs in the Treasury has
TO be passed before the money is produced.
The creditor, often poor man or woman,
gets tired of waiting and sells the claim at
a tremendous discount TO some one who has
capital that will be drawing big interest
while the government is dallying

THE DEMOCRACY OF OHIO.

We doubt IL Democratic convention eveI
held in Ohio, or 10 any other State, has ever
given more enthusiastic support than thai
which was given to Hon, James E. Camp
bell by the convention at Springfield on
Thursday Of last week
The Democracy are alive this year. The
faithful believe that a turning point 10 po'
litical fortune has come. The disastrous
records of 1893 and 1894 are behind them.
The hard times which originated during
Republican domination of the country, and
which was unjustly unloaded on Demo,
cratic administration of affairs are gradu-
ally giving way TO natural and sure return
of prosperity. The burden of panic and
distress no longer rests upon Democratic
shoulders, and the people are rapidly com.
ing to a realization of the fact that 1t should
never have been placed there. The Demo.
cratic party OF Ohio is in the field to win
this year Its conventions and its nomina-
tons are not periunctory. 1t is not going
begging for men to take the standards of
leadership.
MIR. Campbell, doubtless feeling that he
had sacrificed much personal interest in
public service 10 the Democratic party, and
feeling that he knew better than others
what his private interests and obligations
required of him, utterly refused to be can
didate for the nomination for Governor, and
gave ample and sincere notice that he could
not accept the position He was nominated
10 spite of himself by the unanimous voice
of the convention, and no well informed
person can doubt for moment that the
action of the delegates faithfully represented
the Democratic sentiments of that State.
The Cincinnati Enquirer of the oath in
slant, In speaking Of Mr.. Campbell's nomin
alton, says:
"Now that we have Campbell for leader
in the State campaign, who is hey He Is
Democrat who has probably had more hard
tussels in Ohio against heavy Republican
odds than any other man. He won close
and sharp fight for the Legislature; cap
tured q very strong Republican Congress
sional District two or three times by intel
ligence, industry aud experiences in politics
that few men can equal. In 1889 he was
elected Governor after one Of the most OK
citing campaigns Ohio ever had, and when
the Democratic tide was not strong enough
TO carry all the rest of the ticket. In 1891
he made q brilliant campaign against the
tariff champion of the United States. He
was clear and easy winner ia the joint
debates, and surprised the press and the
people by his readiness and versatility on
the stump. As campaign orator probably
no one 10 Ohio exceeds him in popularity
This State is crowded with Democrats who
believe that, through all polite and personal
adversities, he is the man Of destiny,
at is almost useless 10 go into details
The overwhelming and irresistible action OF
the State Convention tells the whole story
Campbell was not asking the Democrats fol
anything, bat was pleading IN be let alone
as q private 10 the ranks He was not self
seeker. The Democrats insisted upon hin
and would have nobody else. That settles IT,
