With the administration OF public affairs
it has ruined our business enterprises
shut down our mills, closed our factories.
put In idleness our great lab0rinc classes
ruined er4dit of the state and natIon,

chooses to call local issues.
We condemn it In the administration Of
our state affairs as much as In the In
competency shown In its administration
of our national affafrs When the De-
mocracy went out Of power la eur state
it left TO the Republican party Il legacy
OF almost $40.000,000 Of debt. This debt,

IJHe, has been almost entirely paid
We have Increased the appropriations
TO the common schools until we stand at
the head vi the states In support of pop
ular education Under Republican ad
niinistration there has been paid each
year for educational purposes move than
was appropriated By the Democratic
party in quarter of a century Of mis-
rule
We have increased our appropriations TO

until we can make the boast that no
state between the two oceans supports
these institutions well does our

Our seven millions Of people are indus
tri0Hs, honest law-abiaing and happy,

deficit of more than three million dollars
In the state treasury, but by his courage
in reducing the extrayagant appropriations,
by compelling the collection Of delinquent

Hartment of the state government on an
economical basis this deficit has been
Wiped out the floating debt of the state
has all been paid, the public Institutions
receive their money as soon 1t is due
and payable, and the special appropria-
tions are paid more promptly than ever
Before. and the credit Of the common
wealth Il fully restored.
We heartily commend and ndorse the
wise and beneheent laws enacted by the
state legislature, and firmly believe that
as the people Of the state investigate and
consider the many important acts passed

debt which the commonwealth Of Penn
sylyania owes to it's representatives in
the United States senate the Hon. NJ S.
