The Democratic party has gained
control of Indiana three times since
1860. Every time 1t has added millions
of dollars to the State debt. Three per-
iods since 1860 the Republican party
has had charge OF the States affairs.
In each period it has greatly reduced
that debt-more than S12,OO0,0OO alto
gether sufficient to have wiped 1t out
IL the Democrats had not added to 1t
every time they gained control of the
State. The Republican party has now
been responsible for affairs In Indiana
since 1895, and in that period has paid
off nearly $7000.00O Of Understanding
debt. Every cent is now paid except
some bonds which are not matured.
There has been no good reason for this
great debt. 1t is an ugly truth, but it
cannot be lodged, that the debt itsel:
is monument to Democracy's incom-
potency and their fiscal mismanage
ment.-Exchange.

to let well enough alone. The charging

all signed without any solicitation
