attention to the details OF the State government. by
its prudent regard for economy In public expendi-
lures, and by It's energetic measures for the preser-
walton of the forests the improvements OF the
canals. the intelligent reform Of the Civil Service.
the completion OF the Capitol. the extension and
improvement Of the penal and charitable insttu-
TONS the reform Of the election laws the settle
ment Of the excise question and the passage or laws
in the interests OF the working people
In the ACCOMPLISHMENT OF all these benehccnt works
Governor Black has had the seadfast support OF the
Republican Legislature. The finances OF the State
have been administered with such care that. not
withstanding the expenditure OF full million OF
dollars for the acquisition Of forest lands and other
great appropriations looking to the completion OF
the ca ito! and tho extension OF the canal system

WORKINGS or THE RAlNES LAW.
Much falsehood is being circulated from Demo-
cratic sources concerning the operation OF the
Liquor Tax law The precise truth is shown in the
following comparison: Under the Old license law
% 80 places licensed TO sell liquor In the state
OF NewYork. and the net revenue Was 81 ~ 10
Under the new law only 2s.e2l places are permitted
10 sell liquor. while the net revenue 10 the state
amounts TO the enormous sum of flo,19@o 81 so
that the number OF places where liquor may be so!d
has been reduced by the number OF 5-l6. while the
revenue has been increased In the sum OF "'o-
$40 s.. The constant charge or Democfa'c pol-
ticians is that the cities are being taxed Tor INC
horent Of tie country but the charge II absolutely
false. or the net revenue derived from thr APuoT
tax certificates the states share last year was
