General Emilio Nunez, governor of Havana province, says that the period of reconstruction is we'll past and the island government is administering af- fairs in an entirely satisfactory way. The stability of the republic is proved by the fact that foreign capital is rap- idly coming in and finding safe and profitable investment. Large areas of land in the different provinces are be- ing taken for sugar and tobacco plant ations, cattle ranches and fruit-raising farms. Much money is being spent by the government for public roads, and in two and one-half years almost as much has been done as Spain had to show in four hundred years. Further;

E. W. Judd, now a resident of Ever cit, Washington, claims that it was in his parlor, near Ripon Wis. that the formation of the republican party was decided upon. MT. Judd is now a pros fibitionist. In 1854 he was Free Soiler. The question came up that year of how to rid Wisconsin of the men in power. A preliminary meeting was held in the school house, but Judd's support as 8 leading Free Soiler, was desired. He was visited by a com nlittee and signed the call for a con- yention. The movement was outlined in his parlor. The call declared against the further extension of slavery. It was published in anti-slavery papers and in the New York Tribune. In an swer to Horace Greeley's query as to the name of the new organization one of the leaders dubbed it the Republican party.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS.
They Receive Abuse of DE I'm rate and
Support Of the People.

According TO the Democrats. the Re

declared TO be running the country; but
when the day of reckoning came and shc

iween Loyalty and disIoyalty. between the

i he lineage of the Democratic party is a
record OF broken pledges conceived in po-

which the people owe four years of civil

opponents: II has again and again saved
the nation from degenerating to a low
Grade in nationalities. and 1t has enforced
respect throughout the world for a coun-

Of course the Democrats assail Repub-
iican Presidents and their nominees for
the place of Chief Executive; they do
this more by innuendo than by direct ac-
cusation--a stabbing in the dark rather
than a fight in the sunlight. But there
is always this in favor OF the Republican

BOOMERANG FIGURES.
DANGEROUS MATERIAL IN THE
HANDS OF THE DEMOCRATa.
Coeparisons Showing How that Party
Increased Government Expe nd itures
More thnn 81 Per Cent. In Twelve.
Year Period.

The Democratic campaign writers and
speakers are making use OF highly dan
Gerous material when they use figures to
show the large increase in government
expenditures under Republican admins
tra6on- Alton b. Parker said to the
Democratic editors at Rosemount:
During Mr.. Cleyeland's first term the av-
eraXe annual expenditure was about $780,
ooo.ooo For the last three years 1t has
expenditure last year mounted up to s5s2,-
10000; which is not eqnaled by any year
the year OF the Spanish war.
Why did Mr.. Parker use the figures
merely OF Cieveland's first term? Why
did he not make use of the figures for
President Clevelaud's second term? Had
these entered into the comparison it
would have been shown that expenditures
gained with the same proportional rapid
ity in Democratic times as in Repubii-
can times-an1 in some directions, Ike
interest on the public debt. they gained
more. The Democratic party. to use q
legal term, is "estopped" from criticism
OF Republican increase in expenditures
when the figures comparing Democratic
expenditures. twelve years apart, show
that the Democrats. just like the Repub-
licans. were forced to follow the rapid
growth OF the country with increased ex-
penditures for the government.
