THE REPUBLICAN W J continue it's minlstrations England public in particular. during the coming year, in the same liberal spirit and with the high purposes that have marked its course in the | past. In some respects it expects to serve its con>titaancv more acceptably than ever before. The political developments Of he past year have abnndahtly justified THE RRPuBLIcAN's recentat- tltude toward public affairs, state and national.
 The men whom it has denounced and the measur es that it has opposed have directly or indirectly brought defcat upon the republican party and carried the democrats into power, not because the country has special confidence in the latter but be- cause it is dsgusted with republican rule. In this situation of affairs, THE REPUBLICAN finds cause for great rejoicing, mixed. 1t is true with some regret that in Massachusetts the independent voter has not tempered his zeal with broader intel | lgence and finer discrimination. Out of this re- volt there will surely grow healthier condition of | the body qoli ic and wiser, honest administration of public interests. Weare nearer the achievment of reform in the civil service, in | taxation and administration through the sweeping political change. Whether these reforms are to be finally and fully obtained throN gh new parties or by the awakening and purfcation of the old organ
 zations is not essential. That they must be real. ized in some way for the salty and welfare of the l republic is the vital fact. In laboring to bring them about The Republican is and will be wholly
 independent of men, parties and factions recogniz- | ing and using nments, but bound to none.
