Show During the campaign of 1888 Mr. IIarrisox, Mr. Blaine and other Republican statesmen were loud in their denunciation of the policy of the Cleveland administration in permitting permit-ting the public money to be deposited in certain national banks; and when Mr. Harrison became president it was announced by Mr. Windom, his secretary of the treasury, that these funds had been called in and that there would be no more deposits of that kind. According to the report of Mr. IIubton, the United States treasurer, recently submitted, the Government now has on deposit in various national banks the sum of $30,047,118.26. So much for Mr. Harrison's pretended show of virtue. |
