VAN buren, EXTRAVAGANCE,

The fact is admitted that the expenditures
OF the Government from the year 1884 to the
year 1889 have increased from thirteen mil
mons to thlrty-nine millions Of dollars. But
the supporters Of Mr.. Van Buren, attempt 10
shield his Administration from the charpe of
extravaganza, by calling some of the expen-
ses extraordinary and some temporary. Now
without questioning the fact, that there were
some subjects of expenditure in 1888 that did
not occur in 1884, let us take the sinple item
OF Congressional expenditures, and see how
they will stand as compared with the Admin
istration Of Mr.. Adams:
according to Mr.. Woodbury's Document
NO. ~, the contingent expenses of the Son
ate in 1888 were 1927, 1923, which exceeds
by S24,527 93, the whole expenditures of tho
Senate for the FOUR YEARS Mr. AJ.ua
was President

Pfnses OF the House of Representatives for
1895, We're 1873, 960-which exceeds b,,
So''I21 s8 the whole expenditures Of the
House for the FOUR YEARS Mr. Adams
, was President.
These are facts that cannot no ass,;1od ..1
afford fair specimen of the general course of
extravaganza of the present party in power
There is another item which il MAY, ho ,,o,,

THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER IN
LEAGUE WITH ABOIVYIoN

Among the strongest symptoms of the in
cressing desperation Of the Richmond Ennui-

ton, communication in that paper, calling
the attention OF the people of Ohio ard Indi-
ana to the iacf, that JoDN Tyler. is the own

OF the Abolitionists against the Wing ticket.
because It's candidate for the Vice Presidency.
IS identified with the Southern interests, upon
the absorbing question Of slavery. The f,di-
tor OF the Enquirer has seen the day. when
ne would have spurned such paper, as insult
ting to the South, and branded as an incendi-
airy fanatic, unworthy the name of Tireini0rr.
any one who would bring such weapon into
portugal warfare. What capital he calculates
may De made from the suggestion, we know
not, but we feel well assured. that IFS aduis-

THURSDAY. JUNE 20, 1910.

T-The reader will find Gen. Harrison's let
ter to MIR. Lyons on the first page Of this pa
per. 1t will be seen that he endorses fully
all that he has heretofore said on the subject
OF Abolitionism. The Richmond Enquirer,
however, sad to say, is still not satis6ed.-It
sneers at the style of the old soldier-calls it
garrulous-aleges that he merely "gives the
same opinions which he has long since laid
before the public''-and insists upon pledge
to veto. We are truly sorry that the Enqui-
rer is so hard to please. Gen. Harrison, in
his Vincennes Speech, pronounced the efforts
OF the Abolitonists TO be weak, presumptu-
Gus, and unconstitutional As a matter of
course, then, he would veto any bill in
terfering with the rights of the South on the
subject His oath of Office would require
him to do so. But again-in his letter to Mr..
Sloo, of New Orleans, lie denies the power
OF Congress to abolish slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia, without the consent of
Virginia and Maryland, and the people Of
the District. What more could the ENQUIRER
ask! Surely it will not contend that the
Constitutional grounds assumed by General
Harrison are not better guaranty to the South
than the mere views Of ''expediency'' and
paper ''pledge" of Mr.. Van Buren,.
As TO the style Of the old soldier. we are
willing to leave that to speak for itself; but
what shall we say to the Enquirer's objection
Ahat Gen. Harrison gives us nothing new 3
We know he is an old fashioned man, of old
fashioned principles, and rather rusty Gas the
time serving politician would say atMe furn-
'ns point. He is not able Or willing to shift
and accommodate himself to every change of
wind-and therefore there is nothing new in
his politics. True, he might have said that
JOHN TYLER, Virginia STAKEHOLDER, was
nominated on the same ticket with him-but
that would have been Understandable En-
quirer has told the Abolitionists so already.
Then how shall we answer the objection q
1t is an old saying that the 'shair of the dog
as good for the bite''-and if the Enquirer
VII! exc. sc Us, We will resort to us own
fruitful mint, in which, as experience has
shown. may be found any thing to suit any
exigency. When General Jackson refused
to answer the Legislature of Indiana, and re-
ferred to his opinions expressed four gears be-
fore, the Enquirer said
q Seen. Jackson's reply is such one as
might have been expected from the singular
resolutions of the Legislature of Indiana. and
the elaborate and 1--WE must say) insidous let
ter Of Gov. Ray. Did this Governor think
to entrap him by spreading his web so far a.
round him Else why did he put so many
particular and categorical questions to Gen.
Jackson nd he eapect to draw forth some
ans'cer to some one Of them ,cAich tie parti-

1t IS stated in the Wheeling Times, on the

~" The refusal of the Senate to print Mr..
Polnsett's Army bill along with the Report of
Its committee, must be regarded as another
precious confession, on the part of the friends
OF the Administration, of the indefensibIeness
OF the scheme. The Report, it seems, would
not answer its party object, if confronted by
the bill, and therefore it must be sent out sep
arately.
Twenty thousand copies of this extraordi-
nary document having been ordered to be
printed to enHghfen the people, the party were
at las; compelled, out of mere shame, to Or
der some copies of the bill.--This they did.
however, with very bad grace, after connec-
ting with it the reports of General Knox and
zen. Harrison. Here again we see the clo-
ven foot But we make no objection to it. as
far as Gen. Harrison is concerned. As Mr..
Clay remarked, his friends will feel pride in
contrasting Gen. Harison's Report with thai
of Mr.. Poimsett.
