Concedc, then, all the Radical leaders
claim, and the figures conclusiyely de-
monstrate. that Radical rule for the ten
years ending October 81, 1870, has cost
The people fourteen millions one hum

'eighty-0nc cents (about the amount of
the State debt Of Indiana in lS43. when
he Driuocracy came into pOwcr,l more
than Democratic rule Of the precediurl
