UNDER the one Democratic
administration which this state has
experienced in forty years the
cost of maintaining the public
institutions was so increased that
the first duty of the Republican
legislature was to provide means
for enonomizing, and in this work
it is being ably supported by the
Republican governor who, like all
other Republicans, prefers COM
Portable surplus to disagreeable
deficit.

IT now appears that the govern

were about S43, 100000 more than
the disbursements, and already the
Democrats are bowling about the

coded that if the Democrats had
been in power there would have
been no surplus. If there is any
thing a Democrat hates worse than
he does protection it is surplus.
