WHERE IS THE MONEY?

The count of the money in the Tre-sury vaults is completed, 'he Republicans star d with entire honesty in the handling of Uncle Sam’s millions. Not a cent was mis-ing.—Washington Special. We find the above in a Bourbon Republican organ. “The Republicans stand » redited with eiuire honesty” for what? Because fter the money had beeu lucky enough to find its way into the Treasury vaults it was not stolen. The country never was robbed in tha way. The question is where are the dollars that after being taken from the pockets of the people never reached the vaults —stolen ’n transit? Where are the hundreds of thousands of dollars that found its way into the pockets of tV e whisky rings and the Star-route gangs? How much money did Star-route Dorsey get that shou d have been in the vaults the other day when the public money was pounted ? What about the Navy frauds when George M. Robinson was Secretary of the Najvy? Have the people forgotten Beltifap and Babcock or the Credit-Mobilier syndicate, and Howgatc of more recent date ? How much money has been lost by the plunderings of the public land thieves? how much more by the loose management of the Interior Department under such men as Teller, the last Secretary of that Bureau under a Republican administration? vYhy was the postmaster at Rome, N. Y., suspended by Mr. Cleveland before he had liardlv time to hang up his hat for the first time in the White House ? Why did a Republican postmaster cut his throat recently m Pennsylvania and another Wow brains out in Ohio 'Only the day ? The answer tothis sears arraignment of radicalaais-

cality is that the public money has been counted —every cent was in the vaults and “the Republican stand cred with entire honesty.” Bosh —Indiananolis Sentinel «<>►■ — Mrs. W. W.

Sup’t. P. K. Klrsch is an earnest, painstaking, capable worker. t The “kid” is continually seeking to drag great men down to his level. Every now and then, and frequently, he denounces Hendricks, Voorhees, and Democrats generally as traitors and copperheads.— This week be denounces Hon. Carter Harrison, as “the conscienceless, blatherskite Mayor of Chicago;” and alludes to us as “the sli- % my, foul-mouthed, paltry minded, nigger-hating old Copperhead of the Democratic Sentinel.” A few weeks since he denounced the chief officer in the cabinet as a “niggerhater,” etc. He has no love for those who love not the negro as he loveth him. As it is purely a matter of taste ve leave him “joined to his idols.”
