The Democrats Responsible.

The present is not the first time in the
history of the State or nation that the
Republican party on assuming office has
been confronted with financial Difficult.
ties due to Democratic extravaganza
and Incompetence. 1t has been pecu.
lisrity of Republican administrations.
both in State and nation. that on re-
linquishing power they have always left
the finances in admirable shape, and
large balances of cash on hand. 1t has
always been popularity of Democratic
administrations, both In State and na-
tion. to squander all the meney they
could lay their hands on, and leave large
loads of debt for their Republicans sue
cessors to liquida.e. The legacy Of debt
and Generalization the national admin
istration left behind when it went out
of power in 1851 need oRly be referred
to. When the Democratic party came
into POI in this State 10 1888, it found
three-quarters of a million of dollars in
the treasury. In three years 1t reduced
this balance half million dollars, and
besides that left such obligations for
the Republicans to settle that it was ne
cessary to borrow S5O0,OOO to save the
State from bankruptcy. The duty is now
imposed upon the Republican party of
providing the means for paying this
million dollars and about quarter of a
million more to meet increased expens'
es due to the growth of the State and
the expansion of State institions. To
provide this money it may be necessary
to increase the State taxes, aud in view
thereof the Democratic organs have alt
ready set up howl about the "extrava-
gance" of Gov. Foraker's administration,
although the Democrats are themselves
responsible for the condition of affairs
which may make an increase of taxation
necessary. The fact that when Gov.
HOadly's administration went out Of
power it left the treasury more than a
million dollars worse off than when they
came in, and that this amount is still
unprovided for, Is sufficient answer to
Democratic assertions of Republican re-
sponsibility for the unfavorsble condi-
tion of State finances. Leader.

some small business last week in copy

of bringing the commissioner isto dis

not the advantages of collegiate edu-

"quiff" on Latin and in writing long
sentences as are some of his critics. and
possibly he may be little rusty in spell
