We don't think we ever heard of as

Republican independents are playing
the parts assigned them, and are run
ning in pursuance to the plans of their
managers, while the Democratic inde-
pendents are "going it alone" ana run-

own party and the earnest remonstran

The impression seems to have gone
abroad that the radical party in this State
is a defunct institution, and that conse

During the last year the bonded debt
was increased nearly $83,000,000, and
the amount paid out for Interosts is
greater by $3,000,000 than was paid for
the preceding fiscal year. During the
same time the debt bearing no interest
has decreased nearly $21,000,000. Tbe
increase in tho bonded debt was caused
by tho sale of bonds for resumption pur

now in tho Treasury. The total coin
