REPUBLICANS IN PENNSYLVANIA.

when the Republicans of Pennsyl-
vania assumed the reinS of govern
ment in this state the legacy they in
herited from their Democratic prede-
cessorS was a debt of over 1000, 900.
On the 30th of November, 1898, this
debt had been almost wholly eXtin-
snished. the balance that was left
.nounting to but $1,O25, ,9S1.92, over
$39 100000 of Democratic debt paid
from 1861 to 1898, and if the present
deficiency in the revenue is added to
this legacy of debt which the Demo-
Gratis have left us. the entire debt OF
the commonwealth will not exceed
over $4,000000 How is that for busi-
ness management during all the tur-
bulent times of war, and the alleged
mismanagement of the Republican
party in Pennsylvania? Surely no
business firm within the limits of this
commonwealth can show a better bal
ance sheet in all these years than the
good old commonwealth under the
business management of the Republl-
can party from 1861. If lifetime OF
integrity and business success is
strong endorsement of the capacity and
integrity of "A business man, is it not
also true tnat oS years OF BUSINESS
success and political integrity upon
the part of a great political party en-
titles it to the confidence and respect
of all right thinking citizens and busi-
ness men who love their common
wealth and desire only her highest
good? With history so recent and
with record so pronounced as these
two parties present, no intelligent citl-
zen can long hesitate upon which side
to cast his vote. The Republican
party has deserved support, and in
view of her efficient and progressive
spirit, as manifested in the past, the
great body of patriotic, liberty loving
and progressive people of this dear old
commonwealth will continue as here
tofore to give her their very cordial
and most enthusiastic support.
Pennsylvania should this fall roll
up big Republican majorities for Colo
mel James L. Barnett. the candidate
for state treasurer, and his colleagues
on the Republican state ticket. The
Keystone state shall lead in the
movement for the reelection of Presi-
dent Mckinley next year"
