THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT in A. .1. hill. Friday, June 16, 1882. ---- -* I Ths editor of the Journal is in trouble, because some democratic officials over iu Auglaize county, 0., end in Scott county in this stale have beeu stealing a few thousand dollars Ed. seems to be going crazy and imagines the whole country is going to the dogs about it. He says no Democratic thieves are ever punished and Hepublican thieves a felon s The Democbxt has this to say: Political friend or foe will not bo spared. If aught we could say would bring them to grte., to grief they would come and speedily. Now that treasurer, Ed. over in Auglaize county, was sent to the penitentiary for his crime: do not worly about it any more —it is gospel truth. Now this is one instance Ed., where punishment followed crime. Those Scott county fellows will follow, if guilty, when their day of trial comes off. Let us look at the other side. j Who has not. heard of the great Repub-1 Hcas Credit Mobilier swindle, by which _ the federal treasury was robbed of $43,000,000, which was divided around 1 am oft g the gang and placed where it would do the most good in bribing members ot congress. Then there is “Boss' Shepherd s u ashington ring, that succeeded in saddling a debt upon the city of $43,000,000, $11,000,* 100 of which sum came from the federal treasury, and one-halt of which was spoils that went into the pockets of the ring. It took men out of the gutter and made millionares of them. The doings of Grant's Secretary-of-the-Navy, Robeson, are worth recording: In , seven years $149,000,000 in appropriations andsloo,ooo,ooo realized from broken ships and the sale of naval stores that had accumulated during the war were swallowed up, while our navy dwindled down to nothing. Asa resuit, Robeson, who in ’66 and '6B had no income, and in iB6O only SI,OOO, as sworn to in making his returns to the government. But shortly after becoming Secretary, he had individual bank accounts aggregating $467,536.61. And the thousand leeches around him were as fortunate as he financially, in accord in amount with their political influence. The Moth swindle is a big little swindle, which took a quarter of a million from the federal treasury. Under Chester A. Arthur’s administration as collector of the port of New \ork, the receipts constantly diminished, while expenses as constantly and steadily augmented, while the business of the country was also constantly increasing. In 1872, the receipts were $148.381,446; expenses, $2,301,146. It gradually tapered down in receipts until 1877, when it had reached $91,056,967 while the exper ses had reachthe grand sum of $2,606,226, when he was turned out of office for incompetency and dishonesty—see Sherman’s letter. After he was arrested, tried and punished for his crime by electing him \ ice-Presi-dent, and is now serving out his sentence. A fearfnl retribution awaits dishonest Republican officials. That there was no game too high for them to reach, what has been written already shows. That there was none too low for their capacity, the freedman s swindle plainly indicates IKhile acting as guardians for the poor negroes they swindled them out of their small pittances, aggregating a princely sum. The versatility cf their character is shown i* Poker Schenck’s Emma Mine swindle. This honest man, while Minister to England, by virtue of his office, floated the scheme which swindled the British public out of an immense sum by selling a worthless mine. Then the whisky ring, which had for its outpsots the distilleries of the country, and for head quarters Gen. Babcock a den, private secretary to Grant. Here millions were stolen and millions squandered and other large sums employed io politically corrupt the voters of the country to elect a Republican president, that future steals might be had. True, one or two were tried and sent, to the penitentiary, but Executive head-quarters and whisky ring headquarters were too close together. The result was after a brief imprisonment Grant pardoned them. Then comes the Indian ring fraud and impeachment of Belknap, the San Domingo job, the postal bauds, the government printing frauds, the public building frauds, the pension frauds, the frauds in the department of justice, the frauds of Sherman’s pet bank. Then to go through the presidential and cabinet officers luxuries, etc., which have been augmented until they reach & sum annually that amount to nearly one'half of the total expense- of the govern ment in democratic times Then again comes the swindles of Republican carpet-bag governments in ihe south, by which eleven of the southern stages had their debts augmented in the sum of $172,411,568, which did the states no earthly good, hut went into the pockets of carpet-bag-governors and their •ronies. Then - last but not least, the grand swindle of the age, is giving away of the public domain during Republican power to corporations, the magnificent domain ol 296,060,000 acres of land, comprising a territory greater in extent than Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, New Yoik, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, and Indiana combined. This is a brief showing of a few of the big swindles of the age, and purely party, Kepublican swindles. To record them all with minute particulars would require a library within itself. And save the pardoned whisky ring men. no man, so far as we know, has been punished, except in that moral conviction tnat always’accompanies crime, but so far as party is coneeined have teen condoned by frequent nominations and elections to office, as in the case of Arthur. True, the Star Route thieves are now on trial. Their cases have been before the country for about one year. But there is Pule hope that they will be punished. A party that has mad* swirdlingand stealing a profession for years, and that according to their own declarations, the sums so obtained were disbursed and pa ; d into the treasury of the national organization of the Republican party to be used as a corruption fond, and was so used to maintain the party in power and continue these stealings. And when victory perched upon their banners and a change of administration occured, the new one denounced the old as plunderers and robbers, boasted of their self purification, while the old process was renewed by some new swindle to obtain money to peipetuate party Thus making political capital out of the crimes of their •wn party, and using it as an argument in favor of its perpetuation. JKhen the war closed had the Republiean partly maintained a half respectable showing of hunesiy, the prejudices that surrounded the Democratic party weie sufficent to keep it down for the next hun dred yeais. But in less than fifteen years they had consumed their entire capital, and now depend only upon the most corrupt means known to civilization to keep themselves in power. They have sown the wind and some day will reap the whirlwind Ask. us to hold our peace. In shame, sorrow and humiliation these lines are written. There is not another country under the sun, but what would have been bankrupt. We have been bled at every pore, yet have been seemingly prosperous. We would have been truly prosperous, with our immense resources and onr grand strides in growth and improvement had our affairs been administered with honesty and economy, such as were known jin the earlier days of the republic. Take the stealings of the Democrats from Washington down, and compare them with Republican stealing?, they are as mills to millions of dollars. This wholesale public, political Republi

i can stealing, has debauched the whole country. The gratd strides in private stealing, in stocks, bonds, hanks, corporai lions, individuals, and in bank and train | robberies are not to be wondered at. It is i the legitimate outgrowth of the thousand , political examples set by Republican of--1 ficials, who have gone unwhipped of justice. And mark you, when the night of de- . feat sets on the Republican party, as it soon will, it will go down to final defeat. There will be no resurrection. It will ge down, ‘•Link'd with one virtue aim a thousand crimes. ’ _____ ( W sale. Eben P- Sturgis, William Sturgis Admininistrator of the estate of Edward Sturgis sen. deceased, vs. Chailes W.
