"Tho Republicana lay a great deal of stress upon the í:i;t that he luis colleoted tin; revenue, paid o)t'tli(! debt, and settlod the Alabama question ': " "Tho Seoretory of tho Tréasury, I think, deserves quite as much credit ir oollooting the revenue and payingoffthe debt as tho President. Governor Boutwell bas boonvery fortúnate in lus management of the Trcasury ; but after all it is tho people who pay oif Öie debt. They would do it aa readily with any other man in the White House s Grant. To be sure, his friends give him the credit of it, but the people deservo tho praise." , 1 ■ i fc Ui
