COMPARISON OF
ADMINISTRATIONS.
This challenge to- comparison Of
Democratic and Republican sdrninistra-
lions since the Republican party came in
20 existence .loUId he welcomed. FOrtu-
natcly, We have eight recent years of
Democratic administration OF the ex.cu-
tive department of the Government. which
We will gladly compare with any similar
period since 15s'.
= n" comparison will show that under
Democratic control the administrative
purity Of the fathers was observed In the
conduct OF III. Government. that no one
Of its departments was p.rmeat.d. a. of
late. with corruption Tiv,iinS the days of
the star-routc frauds: that a successful
effort was made to check the growth of
expenditures: that Il Resulted in each IN
stance IN cutting down the expenses with
Ia the control OF the executive depart
mert Of the Government below that of the
preceding administration. The compari-
son will show. also. that each succeeding
Republican administration after is5s in
creased expenses. and in some instances 20
greatly to indicate reckless e.trava-
gance and waste Of the peoples money.
During aIT. Cicyeiand's first term the
average annual expenditure was about
se,e OgJo.., For the past three years il has
been abou. S5lgOcJea The governmental
expenditure last year mounted IN - 81
cop,. which Is not equaled By any year
since the Civil War. with the exception
Of the year of the Spanish War. There Is
an inevitable result 10 such extravaganza.
Instead OF {, surplus IN the annual receipts
Of about 5000. ei which the present *
ecut.ve found OF: assuming control. there
Is now a deficit To be found there of
si2.Ol.y0.
REFORM Is MORE
NECESSARY THAN IN -s7s.
The limits of this address Will no:
permit further reference TO the cost az
administration. but IL should receive care
full examination ut your hands. and you
will be convinced that reform IS neces-
sary,' ave. far more necessary than i'm
1876. in the scale Of public expenses and
when convinced you will do les than
your duty If you fail to make th. people
understand IL. The challenge of the Re
publican platform permits you ia compare
