$l0, O.O0O The debt has been reduced from $10, 100000 to $4,271, ,00O-a reduction of $6, 129,000! The rate of interest has been reduced from 6 per cent to as low as per cent and the actual payment of interest has been reduced from $624, ,O0O year to S156, 25O-an annual saving of $467, 750. Perhaps record like this will account for the success of @ 3 Der cent loan.-Hd1yord Cou'ant May 21. The foregoing article clearly presents the condition of Connecticut's finances. Republicans and democrats can each be justly proud of the financial record of their respective administrations in Connecticut during the past 20 years. Connecticut was loyal during the re- bsllion and endorsed the action of her noble "war governor" the lamented William A. Buckingham, who upheld the hands and cheered the heart of Abraham Lincoln during the dark days of the rebellion, when the governors of some northern states became disheart- ened and were ready to make peace on any terms with the South. Governor Buckingham did not hesitate to use the money and credit of Connecticut to aid the general government in putting down the rebellion, and he also contributed largely of his own fortune to that end At the close of the war the state debt was over $10,0OO, 900, but to the honor of Connecticut 1t can be said that the doctrine of repudiation could not gain 8 foothold in the state.
 Governor Harrison and Treasurer Chamberlain are entitled to great praise for their financial achievements, but we must not forget that long line of their faithful predecessors, representatives of both the republican and democratic par ties, also ably managed the state s finances and guarded with rare fidelity the interests intrusted to their care, otherwise the states credit would not be to-day the "highest in the world" It is remarkable and significant fact since 1865 Connecticut has been gov erned nearly alternately by republican and by democratic administrations. Both parties are proud of their record and this frequent change of administra- tion has been beneficial, for it has pre- vented either party from usurping power, becoming corrupt and squander- ing the peoples money.
