tuition as a conclusive reason for its
continuance in power through the
approving sutfrages of the voters.

on July l. 1892. it had been reduced
to S6,S30,000. At the beginning OF
that period the rate of interest or
the state debt was 6 and ! per cent: it
is now but 3I per cent on five sixth
OF the outstanding debt. During
the last year of republican, control
the rate and taxation for stat pun
poses was 80 cents on the S1O0 val
uation of property. 1t has ROW been
reduced to % cents on the 500;

taken place during the incumbency
