The Chronicle seems to desire to force
upon the community the alleged political
aspirations of two Of our commissioners.
The board of commissioners elected two
years ago accepted the Office with a full
knowledge that the term was for four
years, and any attempt on the part of
the Chronicle to excite in their minds
any other ambition than that of round
ing out the full term for which they were
elected, will meet with poor success, for
the scheme is to encourage the Tcsigna-
ton of republican members and then
turn heaven and earth to fill the vacan-
cies by the election of democrats. With
a democratic board to appoint election
judges, the crime of two years ago could
be repeated ad infinitum without the
necessity of securing assistance from
any other quarter than from the Dodt
and its hedglings.

With the exception Of two years, years
productive of distress, hunger, bank
ruptcy and panic, the destiny OF the Ma
ton has been partially or entirely under
he control of the Republican party ever
ince the Inauguration of Abraham Lin
soln in 1861. During these forty years
the country has advanced by leaps and
bounds in population, wealth, material,
social and intellectual development.
The trans-M Mississippi region has been
converted from buffalo ranges to i'm
perial States, bridG es have been thrown
across mighty rivers, railways have been
buil5 over the mountains, millions OF
homes have been created, schools with.
out number have been built, colleges
have been endowed, human liberty has
been extended, the verdict of the ballot
has been respected In Republican
States), and the Republic has a deeper
hold on the affections of its citizens thar
ever before, and compcis respect abroad

Bryan would give absolute indepen-
dence to the Philippines. This of course
means that the flag shall be furied and
the army recalled. Will he explain how
thus can be done? Is there any consti-
t~utional provision for alternating Ameri,
can territory? Is there is n constltu-
tionaI argument against acquiring terri
tory? The Rebellion settled that ques-
ton once for all. AS we'll talk about
abandoning Texas, Alaska, Kentucky Oh

legitimate questions for party differ
erces, but to deny a fact solemnized by
treaty and ratified by Congress is to be.
tray objectionable ignorance OF the
