A nice, economical party the Re
publican party is for hard times.
They increased their estimates for
running the Government, S25, 1885,
69S over the appropriations of last
year. They asked for S2Q3, 099, OPS,
Or nearly million dollars day-an
expenditure nearly on the scale of
that of war times. The House cut
them down TO s120,61I,S71, and
would have kept them down to S109,-
244, 40 if it had not been for the obs
stinacy of a wasteful Senate. As it
was in spite of the resistance Of the
Senate, the Democratic House cut
down the Republican estimates S55,-
$50, $50. In other words, the Demo.
cratic House saved the taxpayers Of
the country s151, 725 day, for r year
to come; s4,Gl5.054 a month, for a
year to come. This is the work Of
the Democratic party in one year in
Congress. In two years Of Demo-
cratic administration in New York,
the taxes have been reduced one-half.
The Democracy is the party for hard
times.

For the information of those who

ic Congressional Convention Of the
Ninth District, held the Doth Of Sep>
tembcr at Humboldt. After the
nomination OF w. p. Caldwell for
Congress, there were introduced L ser
les of resolutions; the first indorsing
the National Democratic platform
and Tiiden and Hendricks; the next
resolution Endorsed the State platform
and JAS D. Porter. On motion Of a
delegate from Upton county the last
resolution was Killed by an almost
unanimous vote. The delegates who
voted against indorsing Porter repre-
scented Dyer, Gibson, Haywood, Lake,
Lauderdale, Obion, Upton and Weak
ley coun;ies.-Mcmphis AraIancte.
For the information Of the Ava
lanche, and all others interested, we
call attention to the fact that the
above is not a true statement of The
case The editor of this paper was
Secretary Of that Convention and
knows that the Porter resolution Was
not KILLED by an almo.t unanimous
vote" After the adoption of the first
resolution, the hour being very late,
and the delegates wishing TO leave,
rather than wrangle over State
question, which had no business he
fore that body, the re. olution was
withdrawn, and not voted on at all.
IF it had been pressed to a vote, it
would have been carried by n very
large majority. As far as Gibson
county Is concerned, Thomas will not
get one hundred votes here, 80 far a.
we can learn, outside Of the radical
party. Don't misrepresent the facts.

what can we hope for in the general
election ?" They know the full ex-
tent of the immense sacrifices and eff
forts made to defeat Williams, and can
appreciate the greatness of the disas
Ger better than any one not in their
councils. But their money, their lies
and frauds are all in vain, and they
realize despairingiy that their day OF
power and plumber Is over Their
despair is the despair of bafIled vii
lainy, and they glare about for some
new experiment to cheat the people
in the desperate hope of saving some
remnant of authority. Their is moth

attempt the vigilence of the people

The Times and Tribune published
to-day an extraordinary defense or
apology for William A. Wheeler il
his matchmaking operation in The mat
ter of the Ogdensburgh and Champ
lain railroad. The apology does not
deny 4 single allegation of the charge,
and only suites with much parade of
words, some facts entirely irrelevant
to the issue, AMI which were stated
also when the charge was made. The
charge is not answered, but shirked.
The allegation wasnot that William \
Wheeler acted without cover of forms
of law to levy lltckmail, and that
the very law which he made use of
to force 1853, 10000 out of the stock
holders, of which $40, G00.00, went
directly TO his own packet, was drawn
by him and passed i.y his personal ex-
ertions for that purpose, aud had no
other force or effect whatever than to
compel the stockholders to submit to
the legalized p.under. This is the
charge. 1t has not been met, and
cannot be. 1t Is useless for Wheeler
to try to dodge the question. tie

year to attempt to throw dust i'll tho

that further demands shall be made
upon the Government clerks the mid

week Il prominent Republican mana

Chandler for pecuniary aid, alleging
that without such assistance it would
be impossible to hold the Republican
vote in the city of Philadelphia.
lack replied that he told the truth
when he said there was not Il dollar
at his disposal now, and that when
they did realize from the next assess

When the Democratic House pro

the Government $40, 0O0,00O the en-
tire Radical clan set Up howl. Ac-
cording to their estimates the Govern
ment would stop; clerks and officials
generally would be reduced TO want
and perjury, and the most dire mis-
fortunes were predicted for the
country. Andyet these same officials,
who could not exist under an econom-
zeal administration, have paid millions
Of dollars toward carrying the states
Of Indiana and Ohio for the Radical
party. Dat of the miserable pittance
left them by Democratic parsimony
they found large sums to give TO an
illegal purpose. This Is but to con-
firm the belief and open charge of all
honest men, that the country has
yearly been blsd TO the tune of mil
lilions Of dollars, under cover Of sala-
r;es to officers for the sole purpose of
carrying elections by fraud and brib>
erv. No official has been too poor

should be lesson to the Democratic
House. The salaries should be still
further cut down until no room Is left
for party assessment

Tkc Radical Estimate.

The calculations among politicians
were of the opinion that if Ohio and
Indiana were carried in this October
election by the same party, that party
would be warranted in claiming the
Presidency. Hence the fierce assault
on Barnes in this State by the Dcmoc-
racy, and the desperate struggle in
Indiana. The mixed result leaves the
Presidential election yet to he con-
tested, and the storm center shifts
from Ohio and Indiana to New York.

Halstead, OF the Cincinnati Commercial Ia
not much Of president maker, but he is
something of joker. One OF his latest at
tempts upon the risibles is the grave as
sertion that the movement to hold the re-
publican convention elsewhere than in Gin
cinnati Is not owing to the exrortIonate
prices charged by the hotel keepers there, but
is merely g trick by Morton and Blaine to
have the convention held where they can get
more local pressure In their favor than in
Cincinnati The truth is that the proposed
change was altogether suggested by the an
swers received from Cincinnati hotel keepers
10 inquiries as TO the prices to be paid there.
twas manifested by these answers that the
hotel keepers OF Cincinnati had combined TO
bleed the visitors in the most outrageous
manner; beyond the most unblushing
charges of any landlord leeches in any city
at any previous national convention. We
gave in THE STAB the other day the ans wer
OF the propr1etors of the Gibson House
TO an inquiry from a gentleman of this
city as 10 the prices at which he could secure
rooms. They said: sour prices for parlor
aud bed room attached are as follows: First,
second, and third floor, s33 day for parlor
and bed room suitable for two persons; back
room on same floor, S16. a day; fourth and
fifth floors, So a cay. Ifyou wish to engage
rooms, please notify at your earliest conve-
nience." These prices are treble the usual
rates of the hotel. On the representation OF
this fact To the chairman of the national re-
publican committee, he at once took steps,
which are now being considered, to have the
place for the assembling of the convention
changed from Cincinnati 10 some place
where the hotel accommodations are more
ample or the hotel men less greedy than 10
tha; city. The Cincinnati hotel men seem 10
show some alarm lest they may have over
reached themselves by their greed, and they
may decide to come down in prices TO not
more than double their usual rates But they
should be required to sign a definite agree
ment as 10 prices before the convention and
the attendant visitors are RENTED to their
rayenOus clutches
