turned it over to the Democrats in 1871
and showing conclusively that when the
Republicans gave up the reiens Of the
State government we had over S2OO. .OOO in
the Treasury, while to-day VIC are s3S0, 900
in debt. -l A 80 :,
In giving the proof Of his many. good
arguments, he quoted from the Rr9isier S Of
