, "A MATTER OF RECORD.

Since Mr.. Arnold and the democratic
papers Of the state are anxious for fig-
Tres and have made the statement that
the expenses OF the government in this
commonwealth have been increased 60
per cent. under republican rule. 1t is
the purpose Of The Republican to show
UP on very occasion the fallacy Of their
contention. Recently a state compari-
son was made. but the greatest econ
omy OF all has taken place in Albany
county, where the expenses have been
reduced more than 80 1-3 per cent, The
following table of county expenses,
complied from the record, shows a state
of facts at c startling and convinc-
ing. The computation has been made
from the semi-annual reports of the
county clerk Of Albany county, and ex-
tends over a period of eighteen months,
the first eighteen months OF the pres
ent board and the first eighteen months

Elsewhere in this issue we present a
comparative statement between the

and the present republican state ad-

by the republicans is probably the 60
per cent. increase in state expenses to
which Mr.. Arnold Is referring.
