Aga We Inquire, W hitch is the par y OF
re roncnment aud economy? A dstin-
guished Rspuolicsn official in a speech, q
short time sgL, stated that the public
debt bad been largely increas d. If he
knew anything about the financial affairs
OF the state, he must have KIN wa that
this 8 atement was gross misr, prssenta-
tiou. Instead of any increase in the stat.
debt it was reduced S74 600 tie last fiscal
year. sni there was raised from tsxatr n
half m lion of 90 lars to build the new
sane asylum and pay on the state in
deptness. From thesa statements, and all
are taken from the Official figures, again
ask you, my Rep blicsn aud Independent
friends, if tbs Democratic party has not
demonstrated by their legis alton, when
they hal the power to reEulsts and control
public aft airs, tns5 they are
THE PARTY OF REINFORCEMENT AND
ECONOMY?

siyely that the Democratic party is loya
TO the people, to the produc Hg classes,
whose industry is the wealth and power OF
The nation? In conclusion, will add th al

It IL hardly necessary for me to speak Of
The candidates upo1 our state ticxet, as
they are al We II and fsvoIably H. own TO
the people OF Indiana. Our candidate for
governor, "Blle ans" Williams has
