what of "jumble." The Republican and Ex-

claiming that the county matters have been bad
ly managed.--th other, that they are not SO bad

sition, the Express the latter one. The county
debt is said to be upwards Of $4,000! over and
ADORE the assets, but the property of the county
is sufficient to pay off the debt and scarcely feel
it. The debt of Ramsey county has been greatly
