NEW YORK. 



has been true to its pledges, and distinguished by 

 achievements ;n domestic and foreign policy unsur- 

 passed in the history of the country. 



8. That the administration of Governor Dix, in 

 its purity, dignity, and wisdom, has fulfilled the 

 highest expectations of the people, and we point 

 especially to the management of the State finances 

 as showing the wide difference between Eepublicau 

 and Democratic rule, which Democratic rule was 

 such in its profligacy as not only to consume all the 

 heavy taxes paid by the overburdened people, but 

 also to take $6,500,000 from the sacred deposit of the 

 sinking-fund. This the Kepublican administration 

 has now made good, and has increased the sinking- 

 fund from $1,000,000 to more than $15,000,000, thus 

 relieving the people of that indebtedness.
