Why ?

the following questions for our Itadi,

Why did the State Treasurer delay
making his information against Special
Agent Evan s, until that Fll eeessllll cm
bezzler had put himself beyond the
reach of n warrant•?
Why did the Auditor-General fail to
audit the accounts of Kis ecial Agent
Evans for the last four yearn?
If Special Agent Evans filed no ac
counts of his cdllections and faded t
pay over any of the monies received
him for the State, why did not the
State Treni-urer and Auditor General in
vestigate the matter and compel lion
to comply with the requirements of
the law tinder which he was appoint
ed?
Why did Attorney General Brewster

Hard to Beat
The Lancaster Express says : We
published, iii April last, some facts
and figures concerning the rapid in
crease of buSiness on the Philadelphia
division, Pennsylvania railroad, stating
we think, that on April 322,090 cars
were moved over Om division of the
road. Large as these tiguree seemed
to be, we are reliably informed that
they have been eclipsed on it unrulier
of occasione since, and that recently
2,385 cars, or 119 freight trains, were
moved over this division ,of the road
upon a single liar. It is said that
during the six months ending August
31, 2,10,804 cars passed a given point
on the division, and, allowing, 20 cars
to a train, would make 11,990 'rattle
moved in the 158 working days em
braced in that period, or 76 freight
trains per day. When ae add to this
number 36 daily pwa•enger trains, we
have a total of 112 trains per day, and,
allowing 33 feet to the ear and 50 feet
for each engine and tender, we would
have a string of ears that would cx
tend we believe, 1,611 consecutive
miles. This estimatedoes not embrace
some eight or ten con,irnotion trains

division. During Oil', vii 1111111018 all

Evans ample opportunity to escape.
Taking advantage of this, Evans has
placed himself beyond the reach of the

General anti the Stale Treasurer were
continually associated with Evans.
And after they were compelled in give
him embezzlement publieit , ,, gave him
ample time to make good his eseapej,
Is the Republican or Dentocrap4l
party responsible for this defalcation?
Iu referente to the honesty of the
Republican party out side of Pennsyl
vania, I quote as follows :
Extract from report of Secretary
Boutwell: "In the Internal Revenue
department there are 340 defaulters to
Ilse amount of $20,700.683,33. From
the P. M. General, $19,000,000 about,
has been lost through inefficiency of
the affairs of the postal department."
In the pension department $60,000,.
00 has been stolen. Money that right
fully belonged to the widows and or
Owens of soldiers who gave their liven
for the Republican party.
The Republican majority In Com
green voted away of the public lands
over 200,000,0(X) of acres, valued at
$1,25 per acre, making 250,000 of dol
lars to individual corporaltotts,besides
$15,000,000 squandered in trying to
buy Santa Domingo and its negroes.
I will leave to the readers of
my statement last week that "the
Democratic party if restored to poser
would put an end to this wholesale
plunder" to judge for themselves. The
history of both parties is before you.
3.1. That I"a student at law from

the Commissioners, collector of State

who are a b undantly able to make up

which would be Mr. Brown's own tax

The Maine Election
The annual election in the State of
Maine took place on Monday last, and
resulted as everybody expected, in the
election or the Radical candidates, but
Fry It 1111101 smaller majority than the
most nangui lie I )C11101:01 t had reason
to hope for
The I 'ittsbury Post Ihue sums up
the result
thir Radical cotemporaries are re
joicing over the fact that the State of
Maine did not go for the Defuocracy
on Monday last. So elated are they
over thus tact that they herald it as ri
great victory for the administration.
When we take into consideration the
fact that not a single Democrat in the
country had the remotest idea or car
rying the Stat. of Maine, this ciuthilrst
of happitieeti on the part of our Radi
cal friends IR just the least bit Judi
crow'.
But have they any cause for rejoic
ing ? Had they not better sorrow
over the meagerness of the Radical
majority In Lila reliable stronghold 01
Radicalism that has been voting stead
ily against the Democratic Marty for
half a century? It will only take
about three more such Radical virtu
ries as the one of litionday last to give
he State to the Democracy by a hand
some majority.
The returns from the elections,
which are very full, and approximate
within two thousand, at least, of the
real result, give perhani, Radical can
didate for Governor, 6,427 majority, al
though the claim is net lip that it will
probably reach 11,000. The fair esti
mate between these figures emild he
about 8,090 majority for Perham.
Now let us compare
ice' obtijoritiro poowe 1846 fool ,-ee how
much room lor reisoefog there is in
tau great Radical %iciory. The fol
lowing is the table of Radical majori
ties :

1868 ....
Loss since 1866 ....
Loss since 1668 16,14631
Ave:ago maJorlly,6 years 17,6611
A verafip loss 6 years
At this rate of loss, which has been
going do steadily for the past six years,
the State will be lost to the Radical
party three years hence• There is
another fact to be taken in connection
with this election, viz, that the total
vote polled is unusually large, the Red
ideal leaders making every possible
effort to increase the majority for the
purpose of getting up the impression
that the people 01 Marne endorsed the
adminiqtration of President Grant. Yet
the majority of Monday is 19,000 less
than Orantsm majority three years ago.
This is a lair tent of esteetn in which
Grant'a administration 18 held in one
of the most reliable Radical tilatee in
the Union. The endorsement of the
administration was the main issue of
the canvass. Consequantly, if Grant
loses 19,0(1(1 on the indirect question of
his 'reelection, is it not barely possibie

The following article from the South

the Southern States ought not to metal

good ones, a iewul from its standpoint ;
but there are other reasons just as
