THE RENSSELAER UNION. Thursdays 4kU£u*t £6tk, IBVO.

Ijm 'jWjllMEtob Kwimn Kd-iy **hl that <kc demm-ratic party of Indiana Kn«\ swindled the Si ate out of w» iMllivn dollars, in 1870 he ask* tin® people <>t Indiana to vote thin party into power again.

During the last sixteen months ol President Johnson's administration after pence was declared and the roiauteerartny had l*een disbanded, the public debt was increased thirty millions; during the first sixteen artomhs of President tyrant's ad'rainisiration, with a decreased rate ©t taxation tho public debt has been decreased one hundred and forty-six millions of dollars. The democratic party endorsed Mr. Johnson slid condemn General Grant. —• -—<•»»» » - The Stark county Ledger, a democratic sheet published among the h«cklel>erry barrens of Stark county says “The days of the corrupt rulers is at an end, and the wicked •shall be cast into hell with all the nation* that forget God.” Judging from Gen. Grant's administration sve should conclude that the first premise is true, but the latter clause of the sentence has not yet taken place as the. party to which l»ro, Mussclman belongs is still umong us.

“We demand that the prime arti- j elcs of necessity—such an tea, eof-; fee, sugar and salt—shall he placed j upon the free list.’’— Article 4, ladi- j om democratic platform. Yet when congress proposed to reduce the tax upon these articles j 40 per cent—nearly one-half—every democratic member in the House of Representatives from Indiana ; Toted against it. Ilohuan % oted no, Xlblack voted no, Yoorhecs voted ! no, Kerr voted no. and in that whole body only seven democrats voted for the reduction. No w onder democrats ray that “platforms aro only made to catch votes.’’ If the peoplo of Jasper comity wish a return to the old fashioned day* of democratic officials—when county treasurers defaulted to the tune of $127,000 and were permitted to go unpunished—they can do ro with very little trouble. The road is a short or.o- and only re- j quires two steps: First, encourage | the democratic convention that! meets here next Saturday; second, i vote for the ticket then put in the . field and just so certain as the sun shines during the day and day succeeds night just so certain, will | the democratic party come into j power in this county and democrat-! ic treasurers obtain control of the | public money. The meeting which suggested the eall for the convention in this place nest Saturday was a meeting of tbo democratic central committee.. assembled by its chairman, Mr. Thos. J l . Spillcr. Wm. L. McConnell, Esq., one of the members of the democratic central committee, •who was a candidate at Remfhgton on the 20th of July, for nomination on the democratic ticket for representative in the State legislature, and was defeated because he was a “newcomer,” in a recent conversation in re-lotion to this matter remarked “of course it will be a democratic convention and a man is a \ d—d ass w ho is deceived about it,” , yet the posters they have circulated ignore the “democratic’’ name and call it a “people's convention” and those who talk for it try to create the impression that it is not a party movement. Let those who have the interest of the republican party at heart give it no encouragement. Those who are managing the* affair are in the interest of the democratic party. The telegraphic dispatches from Europe are conflicting ia their reports of the war. Last week there was hard fighting in the vicinity of Metz which compelled the French to fall behind their fortifications. — Both armies suffered severe losses —one dispatch says the aggregate 1 losses for the week, to both armies j was in the neighborhood of 140,000 ■ men— so,ooo French and 90,000 Prussians. But very tew details reach the public and the facts are so mixed up with rumor and speculation that it is difficult to distinguish them. The position of the belligerant* is reported to be as follows: headquarters of Napoleon at Rbeiras, Bar.aine at Metz, McMahon at Chalons and Trocha at Paris recruiting for the French army and strengthening the defences of the j city. King William with the command of the Crown Prince in front of McMahon *4 Chalons threaten- j ing Paris. Prince Frederick j Charles and General STeinmrt* in j front of Metz, '

Ktcry candidate on the republi- j can State ticket and every one of its nominees for the State legislature are pledged to oppose the resumption of the canal debt which has been paid off. Not a democratic candidate is so pledged, bus on the contrary, their candidate for Attorney General has recorded himself in favor of the proposed swindle. It ha* scarcely been eight short years since tho dcmocraoy of Jasper and Newton counties encamped in force oi\ Mount Gibbon two miles from here and threatened to burn our county seat, yet they have the cool impndcncc to ask tie republicans of Jasper county to unite : with them and select a ticket to dei teat our. party nominations reguI larly and fairly made. lion. Tlios H. Barker, ot Newton county, their candidate for representative in the S'atc legislature was one of the leaders in that unlawful assembly ; counseling and consenting to its acts, ami at Remington after receiving his nomination unbliishingly ! and boastingly recounted reminiscences of the part lie -played at I that time and his subsequent trial j for treason, yet he and the men who nominated hiiu hive tlm unblushing effrontery to ask the people of Jasper county to place him in position to mako laws for <>ur government. We don’t believe that ft people whose intelligence is so proverbial will bo deceived by these meu.

Gen. Milroy's Speech.

Gen. Milroy, republican candi- j date for Treasurer of State, visited 'Rensselaer day before yesterday and in the evening addressed his old neighbors and friends ut the Court House upon subjects which i enter into the discussions of the [present political campaign in Indiana. Ilis speech was listened to with profound attention throughout and made an impression favorable to the great party w hose wisdom ha* selected him for one of the standard bearers daring the contest lot 1870. {.t is not in the nature of Gen. Milroy to be conservative nor ; would he ever fight on the defensive | whilojbattling in the cause of our ! country for the preservation of national existence during the bloody ! years of the rebellion. Prompt, vigorous and brave, like that of the Prussian generals in the present war with Napoleon, his theory is, to maintain liis position and defend his lines by meansof aggressive warfare thus crippling the morale of the cn--1 cmv and at the same time inspiring i his friends. If our space permitted | wo would present our readers with 1 the General’s speech entire, but being limited wc can only give that portion of an address bristling with Rtrong points and fortified with convincing, uncontrovertable fig- ! tires, which contrasts the prosperity of the State under the administra ! lions of the two parties:— Ladies and Gentlemen: By the 1 partiality of the republican party of Indiana, through their convention of tho 22d of February last, my name w*as placed before the i voters of Indiana for the office of Treasurer of State. That being an | office the duties of which are 1 wholly ministerial and clerical and have nothing to do with the lawi making and properly th«S political ! departments of the State ‘govern- | ment, it would seem proper that I, l as a candidate for such an office, ; should not attempt a discussion of the political issues of the day, or the merits of the political parties of the nation, but that I should confine myself wholly to matters of State policy. Were the personal qualifications, merits and deserts of candidates for such offices the only | considerations which influence vot- j ere in their choice for such office* . a discussion by*-ftuch candidates of ; national party merits, principles and politic* would ot course be wholly out of place; but it is well known that for many years it has been the custom for political par- ; ties, by their conventions or other- i wise, to nominate thffir candidates ' i for all offices to be tilled, and as a | ■ general rule these candidates arc I voted for by the voters of the rei spectivo parties, without question os to personal claims, merits jor deserts —a nomination being ’ prima facie evidence with the voter i that their candidate is “all right:” I therefore a candidate can only obI tain success through his party, and j can work for his own success only jby laboring for tlic success of his K' * ticket. This being the case til endeavor to set forth some !of the reasons why the Toters of I Indiana should retain in power the present dominant political party. I It is an old and tw»e saying that ! it is best to “let well enough alone.” | The republican party has now been’’ ! in power both in the national govj eminent and in the State govern- ' ment of Indiana over nine years.— It during that time it has administered the national and State govI eminent* for the best interests of the ; people, would not prudence dictate [ that it i* best and safest to retain j | this party in power so long as it* ! officer* continue to act for the best t

internet* of the people and do well enough? Shall we nave a change of parties in control of our State ! affair*? is really the practical question fur the people of Indiana to decide in casting their vote* for or agaiitHt the candidates now before them. The world, form* its opinion* of men and of parties alike, by their words and tlicir action*, by tla-ir promises and their performance*. Parties make platforms and promise* upon which they ask a lease of power. They universally pledge themselves to economy nild honesty in the disbursuient of public expenditure*, and in all things to faithfully perform official duties to the best interests of the public. Both of the present political pat- | lie* have at different times had control of the national and State governments, so that we have only to contrast the record of their acts 'while in power —their honesty and ! faithfulness in carrying out and I fulfilling their promises and pledges ! —to judge and determine what | either Would do in the future if re- ! turned to power, for wc can onlyjudge of the future by the past.— Then by* these lights and tests let us briefly glance over the past acts of these parties and determine which lias the strongest claims upon tho confidence and support ot the people. At tlie close of Gov. Joseph A. Wright’s administration, January Ist, 1857, according to the report ot the Auditor of State, our State debt amounted to $7,772,H1 1. Four years afterward, during a period of profound peace, with no public w orkn of any kind in process of construction by the State, at tho close «*f Gov. Willard’s and Ljeut. Gov. Hammond's administration the State debt is increased $2,400,066.09 making an aggregate at that time of $10,179,207.09. Up to that time the democratic party had held uninterrupted power for seventeen years. There existed at that time as there has up to the present time a large sinking fund created by law from taxation for the purpose of gradually paying off our State debt, yet notwithstanding this large sinking fund, the debt instead of decreasing, increased under democratic rule during a single term of four years, in round numbers from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000. But this patent system of financiering by which the State indebtedness was constantly increased instead of diminished was not the only instance, by many, of their financiering against the interests of the people of the State, by plundering the school fund, embezzling from and swindling the State treasury and increasing the burdens of taxpayers.

In 1830 congress passed an act granting to each State ail the unsold swamp and overflowed lands w ithin their respective limits upon condition of reclaiming them. Under this act Indiana received 1,252,633 acres. A large portion ot these lands were as good as any in the State and it was estimated that when properly reclaimed by ditching, they would be worth on an average $3 per acre; and that it would not cost to exceed one-half or two-thirds of their value to drain them. By an act of our legislature in 1852, the precceds of the sales of these lauds, after paying the cost of ditching them were made part of the common school fund of the State; and Gov. Wright in a message to the legislature January 7th, 1853, stated that with proper care and management the school fund would receive from the proceeds of the sales of these lands at least $1,000,000. But not one cent lias the school fund ever received from this source, nor never will.— Democratic contractors, with the assistance, complicity and partnership of democratic office holders, embezzled and swindled the State out of the whole of these lands, or the proceeds of such as had been s«ld. Thus the school fund lost at least $ 1,000,000. The interest upon this sum at 7 per cent, would be $70,000 annually. And the children of Indiana have been robbed for all time to come of $70,000 annually by democratic financiering. The democratic treasurer of Jasper county when his term expired in 1858 was found to be a defaulter to the swamp land .fund of the State $127,910.90. A suit which I, as attorney for tlio State, had commenced against this defaulter, was dismissed by Gov. W illard who shortly afterwards appointed him swamp land commissioner for the county with a defalcation of $95, 000 still hanging over him. He soon issued ditching warrants sufficent to wipe out the deficiency and i brought in a bill against the State ' for $3,475 for his services as swamp | land commUsioner for which he obtained the warrant of the democratic Auditor of State, but instead of applying it upon his defalcation he assigned it to a third party who brought suit upon it in December last and the case is now pending in our supreme court. Another instance of democratic financiering is the celebrated Georgia land operation. In the financial crisis of 1837, the Morris Canal & Banking Co. failed with a large sum of Indiana internal improvement funds on deposit. In compromising with this broken bank, the State received, among other things, a deed for 300,000 acres of land in the JState of Georgia, which, being well timbered, were estimated worth one dollar an acre; but a democratic governor sold this tract of 300,000 acres for SI,OO0 —onethird of a cent an acre—3oo acres for one dollar—and a democratic legislature, under the leadership of A. P. Willard, then a number from I Floyd county, confirmed the sale ; in 1863, and the State was thus ! sarundled out 6f $209,000.

D. C. Stover, elected by the ilera- ' ocratio legislature of 1859 as State agent was detected in 1802 by his successor (Col 11. M. Hudson, aVepublican) in a forgery of S'ate stocks to the amount of $2,300,000. lie was indicted by a grand jury ot j the.city of New kork, where the I office of'State agent is located, and i whore the supposed offense win j committed, but a peculiarly en- j lightened democratic judge quashed J the indictment upon the ground | that no offense had been committed again*! the laws of New York STatc.;^ During the hard times which followed the financial crash in 1837 j the legislature authorized the issue of State treasury note*. 1 hese notes were receivable tor taxes and canal lands, and were redeemable at the State treasury. It was discovered in 1853, when these notes had all been redeemed by democratic officials, that $32,000 more had been redeemed than had been issued by authority. That amount the •State lost by democratic financiering. In 1857 a democratic State treasurer lost to the State $20,280 by depositing in the wild cat democratic bank of Jolm Thompson in New York; $7,600 by depositing in the wildcat democratic bank of the Capitol at Indianapolis, and in 1859, $12,700 in -the democratic wildcat bank of Gosport. In 1863, on account of ro many republicans being absent in tho army the democratic party carried the State and elected the State officers (except The governor who held over) and a majority in both branches of the legislature. TliislegTsTattire elected three sinking bind commissioners and an agent of State. These sinking fund commissioners having a large amount of State funds in theirhands, commenced speculating in gold. To obtain the assistance of a heavy margin they deposited $133,281.14 in the democratic wildcat bank of H. J. Lyon & Co., oi which “Co.” Mr. Dillard Rickets, one of the democratic sinking fund commissioners was the head. Gold went down, the speculation was a failure, the bank of Lyofi »fc Co broke, and for a time the deposit of $138,281.14 was lost, but- Mr. W. 11. Talbdtt, president of the sinking fund board who had made the deposit, fearing personal liability, secured collaterals to the amount of $53,000. The balance of $80,281.14 w ould have beon forever lost had it not been for the faithful vigtlancb of republican State offi-. cer», alter six years litigation succeeded in May last through the energy of the present auditor of State, Maj. J. D. Evans, in obtaining principle and interest. But no thanks to democratic officials.

In 1863, Col. John C. Walker, elected State agent by a democratic legislature, tindiwg tho political climate of Indiana too warm for him suddenly decamped into Canada taking with him $50,000 belonging *0 th.tf Th-i.l was afterwards made good to the State by the relations, friends and sureties of Col. Walker who feared that Gov. Morton would make a requisition upon the British government for his delivery under tho extradition treaty. Gov. Willard, the last democratic governor of the State, closed the benevolent asylums in 1857 and sent the inmates home to their several counties causing distress and suffering to the unfortunates and their friends and reopened them again four months afterwards. This act of a democratic governor cost the people of the State at least SIOO,OOO. Such are some of the illustrations and items of democratic financiering in the affairs of the State while they were in power. Add these items and the aggregate is #6,411,764.23, aS follows: Increase of Stato .debt under Gov. Willard, J $2.40*.965.69 Swamp land swindle, J,000,000.00 Georgia land swindle, 299,000.00 Forgery of State stock by D.

As before remarked we can only judge of the future by the past. — We judge and determine what parties will do if placed in power by what they have done when they were in power. By this test wc have glanced briefly at the history of the democratic party. Through the same medium we will look at the acts of the republican party of Indiana which enmo into power January Ist, 1861—not ten years ago—yet in that brief period it has paid off the debt which it found existing against the State when it assumed the reins of government. Ten years ! It is a brief period of time yet it marks an era in tho world’s history. It has been the most important period of our country’s existence. During these ten years our union was re-born and baptized in fire and bloqd, and Liberty planted her standard in our land for all time to come. Through that stormy period of war and tribulation the republican party of Indiana moved steadily forward.— The party has paid off a State debt of $10,179,267.09, a war debt of $2,000,000, and' a government tax of $904,873.33; all amounting to and at the end of the year will have in the State treasury a surplus ot $300,000. Snch is republican financiering.— But the payment of the State debt is not the only evidence that the republican party has been laboring for the best interests of the people since it eanie ihto power. Tho

Northern prison, then only half! huijt, lias been finished uiwi paid ; for nt a cost of til 1,000. Since! 1801 the Hospital for tha Insane j has been enlarged and otherwise j improved at n cost of $46,47a.40, A magnificent Soldiers Home has ! been built and paid for, costing $60,1143.86. A splendid State Normal School House has been built and paid for at a cost of $81,408.02. A House of K'efiigc for juveniles has been erected and paid for at n cost of $101,009.92. A splendid ] building bus been built, furnished ! and paid for at a cost of $56,486.77 for State offices, supreme court room, law library, <Jtc. Resides 1 these disbursements and expenditures by the State, tho Adjutant General’s report shows that by aclt-imposed taxation the people collected and paid out for tho relief of soldiers and soldiers’ families, for bounties and other military purposes, $20,258,040. Our common school system lias been remodeled and greatly improved sinco 1801, and the common school fund increased until now it is larger than that of any other State in the Union. Such is a brief summary of the fnancial management of the republican party since it obtained control of the State affairs and such is the manner the people’s money has been disbursed through its office holders, as shown by the public records. Not a cent lost. Taking all the items of squandering, swindling, forgery, embezzlements, illegal deposits, dec., which have been alluded to ami as shown by the public records, by which tho people’s money has been lost or put in jeopardy by democratic officers during the last seventeen years of their rule in the State and it amounts in round numbers to nearly six and one-half millions of dollars. I do not wish to be understood. as saying that all the items of democratic financial malfeasance mentioned, proved total losses to the State. Thanks to the preserving energy and vigilance of the republican successors of the -delinquent democrats three of these* items were saved—the $50,000 taken by Walker, $133,281.14 placed in Lyon <fc Co.’s bank for gold speculating purposes and the $2,300,000 lotteries by State agent Stover, but the balance, amounting to $3,865,105.09 ' was lost to the Slate through democratic financiering; and there is scarcely a doubt that had this party remained in power in the State every item mentioned would have been lost beyond the recovery of a cent. I have fairly presented a synopsis of the financial record of the two parties as shown by the State records. To which of these parties, judging the future by the past, will you entrust the State government and finances for the next two years? -Choose ye. !
