fact, he is mainly held responsible for the COL

The Treasurer recognizes the right OF the
Auditor to iDstructco collectors as to the manner
Of receiving warrants when the law fs not eg-
pItcit, and will conform the rules oil his Office
to any such instructions the Auditor may give
to tax collectors. in order that there may be- no
appearance OF conflict In future settlements.
AS to the question at Issue, the Treasurer in

In the State House shadowy and precarious
existence under the pseudo-Governor Pack

breaking up OF the entire Republican party
organization; and, although the Republicans

OF Senators, Representatives ami delegates
the party as an organization took no part In
the election OF November, 1873, and In that OF
the spring OF 1879. The Republican clubs were
disbanded simultaneously with the disorgani-
zation OF the party three years ago, and could
not be reorganized since, because there was
an absolute Want OF the neruus reresm-the

Central Committee was all that remained
