When the democrat state admlnistra-
ton went out of office ON the 3lst OF
December, 1892, it left the balance IN
the treasury lower b. S251 ,631 than II
found it and had used up every dollar OF
the general government, making an
actual reduction III the treasury bal
ance of S667 ,631
This reduction in the balance IN the
treasury was money expended by the
democrat administration which had
been charged to the previous repuDll-
can state administration. Ia order to
make further show OF economy, the
democrat legislature of 1891 made APP
propriations amounting 10 9-6i, 600 TO
which there was no taxing clause at
tached. They knew that If this money
was paid out of the state treasury IN
some way it must he returned OF there
would be deficit, but Tie debt was
what that democrat Legislature did not
fear.
The pretense of economy that legls-
lature hoped would bring about the
election of an other democrat govern
or. But it did not. The excess IN the
amount of appropriations as compared
with the amount provided for 10y tax
alton was increased 10y Si72,oOO by the
legislature of 1898, and at the last leg
islature was compelled to provide for
both deficiencies in order 81 place the
state on the business-lke financial foot
ing it was on the hrs, day of January
1891.

thirty five years, and his curiosity VIII
