- The Democratic party has been every
where convicted of fraukforgory, and
the theft of public moneys. Wherever
it has been in power there has the debt
boon increased, taxation raised, and
corruption and licentiousness prevailed.
It is not alone in Now Yorlr city that
the parSr is guilty of these practices,
but wherever it is entrusted with power.
The journals that belong, to the rotten
organization attempt to offset the dam
aging-exposures of their guilt by counter
charges of pecidations against Republi
can officeholders. These in every in
stance have been exaggerated or entirely
fabricated. Where there have - been de
falcations they are always individual
there is no ring' within the Republican
party—and in every case where the
guilty party could be reached he has
been punished and compelled to disgorge
his plunder. Below we give some of the
recent and well illustra
tions of Democratic financial misman

According to the official report of the
defendant, Richard B. Connolly, Con

December, 1868, thefunded and bonded
debt of the city on the date upon which
the defendant, Hall, entered upon his du

And tholunded and bond-

The last official report of said Con

_up_to_ll4.o_tivi-rty-fir-s

is shown that upon thu date the funded
and bonded debt of said city amounted

A CONTItABT
First. In' two years and one month,
by Republican economy, the national
debt was diminished $211,785,663.74.
Second. In two years and seven months
tho public debt of the city and county of
New York was, by Democratic extrava
gance, increased $63,028,427.71.
Third. In two years and ono Month,
by the Republican policy, the annual
'outlay fer interest was' reduced $12,062,-
008.06. .
Fourth. hi two years and seven
months, by the Democratic policy, the
annual outlay for interest in it single
city was increased more than $4,400,000.
Fifth. In putting down the most for
midable rebellion known , to history, con
tinuing nearly five years, in which time
more than two millions of mon were en
gaged, the Republican party contracted
a public debt scarcely exceeding $O5
per' capita.
,Itxth. In simply administering the
civil affairs of a single city for the period
of two years and seven months, the Demo
cratic party contracted a online debt ex
ceeding $36 per capita.

New York Times, of July 20, 1871, shows

have a now jail and a/6 repaired East
Mauch Chunk bridge. Though 4 tho
former has not boon in the hands-of the
county a month, fear prisoners have
already overcome the locks and bolts, by
Means of an old razor and a scisscrs

at the last term of court declared it
worthless, and called upon the court to
call upon the commissioners to its unsafe
condition. This is the way the people's
money has been• used in Carbon county,
BUCKS COUNTY
HUNDUED9 OF THOUBANDB O DOLLARB

Bucks. offinty, to its sorrow, has been
ruled and ruined by the Democracy.
The Doylestown Intaligencer says :
"There is no doubt, whatever, that
Bucks county has been swindled out of
hundreds ol' thousands of dollars during
theaSt ton years by reason of misman
agement in the commissioner's office.
Scarcely e job of public work has been
done that has not furnished a slice of
plunder. Tho looseness with which
bounty scrip was issued, and afterwards
paid, is a matter, of general notoriety . ,"
Nobody ever knew hOw much of ft Was_
put in eireuffition. The fact that every
new bridge built by the commissioners
touts about double price - is familiar to
all' taxpayers.. The case of the new
Hospital at the almshouse, which was
built in the most. expensive, manner,
affording t• Feat profits to all concerned,
and costing Moro than twice , the esti
mated- Amu, is another proof of our
assertion. It. is not wonderful, there
fore, that ex-Senator Kinsey felt it his
duty to call for a legal investigation and
report upon the expenditures of the
commissioners. Neither is it wonderful
that the commissioners and their friends
resisted the bill to the utmost, and pre
vailed upon Senator Knight to stranglo
it for the sake of the party. They knew
too well the character of the ,develop
ments that would be made. That oppor
tunity of securing justice for the tax
payer's of the county.is now
.past. The
time has come when they'rnust act for
themselves, and we shall expect them to
do so inan unmistakable manlier at the
approaching election."
$28,861.15 Stolen.
In another article on the ring the
felligancer gays : h The Doylestown
Democrat, after several months gf silence,
attempts an explanation of the manner
in which the balance of $'28,861.85, due
to the county by-Andrew Ott, was settled
np by the commissioners. There is
nothing new in the statement thus given,
and it was probably only attempted
because the party interests required that,
something should be dune. The main
point:lids not yet been touched. Neither
the commissioners, the huditors, nor the
Democrat have yet informed the public
what leas dose lath the money. That is
what the taxpayers of the county have a
right to know in detail. It has bgeu
utiously--caucce 1,1 113r_th.aliaLties co _
cerned, and there has boon abundant
reason for suspicion. The subject' has
beeu one of violent discussion between
the commissioners and Joe Yerkes, each
threatening to tell tales that might be
unpleasant for the other. And the well
known fact that Mr. Kinsey's bill for a
thorough investigation of our county
finance's for the last ton years was de
feated by the commissioners and 0
friends is not at all calculated to inci
public confidence in the squareness of
their transactions.-"

The Norristown Independent, • issued

an exposition of the bad management,

upon the frauds, which amount to man ;•
thousands of dollars, tho. Indepeplent
says :

those bills, or the product of them fatal

the number of officers allowed by_it.
Tho Domocr'ats at that time, however,

with a strict compliance with the stat

But let us come nearer home, and
glance for a moment at our State finan
ces. From 1850 until 1860 the Democrats
held almost unbroken control of Penn
sylvania, while from 1860 until 1870 the
Republicans held power: A. comparison
of these periods wfitenablo us to put a
proper estimate upon the way ill' Which
each party used its power. They furnish
practical examples, and show us 00 pre
cis° worth of any professions looking to
economy and retrenchment. Tho State
debt in 1850 was forty millions, in 1860
thirty-eight millions, and not until the
Democratic 'power was threatened in
1857 was there any reduction. In that
year the public works were sold, and in
the three follYehg years tlre — Rupttbl
cans steadily gained until they obtained
complete control. During Most' of tho
first ten years, the Democrats had—the
benefit of all taxes derived from real and
personal estate, and the tonnage tax,
averaging $120,000 per year,
from the
Pennsylvania Railroad. The revanne
from these sources amounted to a mil
lion and a half annually. In 1861,.when
the Republicans had full possession, they
had to arm the troops from rCivar loan of
three and a ‘ half millions ; in that year
the tonnage tax was repealed, and 411865
the tax on reallestate. And yet Repub
lican administrations, despite all these
disadvantages, steadily reduced the State
debt until in July, 1871, wo find it but
twenty-nine and a- half millions. In ton
years, with all the old taxes, the Demo
crats reduced the State debt less than
three millions ; in ten years, with taxes
reduced and abolished, tho' Republicans
reduced the debt nearly twelve millions,
