clap trap card players, like the specimen We
quote from the Tower, are the organs Of a
party which when in power swindled the
State out of some $4,000, in the Phoenix
Bank operation. A party whose State
managers paid other smaller items Of
fraudulent democratic claims, to the a.
mount Of more than $4,000 "A ''dcmo.
cratic party which defraudod the Universi-
ty over $4,000 dollars? which defrauied
the Primary School Fund over 100000
dollars! and other like frauds and steal
ings. Verify these democrats are beauti-
ful set Of fellows to talk about "lIaznton
Bonds" and call for the demolition of the
Republican party becaus" $4,000, all told
Of Republican management, has been left

the State Treasurer. This is pretty
democratic organ to talk about this re- is.

humanity, to talk about "Republcan

A word about our County and Town tax
es, and we leave the "democratic' card to
the verdict of the people. We have al,
ready sho.n that although the State tax is
only one dollar and forty cents on Il vaua-

than several years of democratic taxation

turned out, and the party who created the
necessity OF the tax, be put in power, 10
steal S700,0O0 more, and create another
100000 debt for the people TO pay

pundere.s because oe t. Is not the organ
Of such "democracy" party subject to

into debt five millions, squandercd and
stole half the amount, and left the greater
part Of the debt as a legacy for the Re.
pIblicans to pay, and The democratic party
make these partizan appeals to the people
to repudiate the Republicans, because they
like men, shoulder the responsibility thus
entaled upon them by the crime and prof
legacy Of the democrats, and like true men
endcavor to lquiaate the debt.
With regard to the insnuation Of the
Tower, that the Republicans say sit is only
a triiio we took" we reply. No Repubi-

it is well for Republicans to be prepared to
