! He could easily understand that the
Democratic leaders could not appreciate q
surplus in the Treasury. Laughter
They never had habit Of allowing q sur
plus TO accumulate anywhere when the.

Laughter and cheers IN
The administration OF James Buchanan,
the last Democratic President, and the
difficulty encountered then in raising
funds Tor the daily expenses OF the govern

which provoked applause aud laughter by
turns. He quoted the remark in letter
by the Democratic Secsetary OF the Treas.

thought If the National Government could
get a few OF the leading States of,tlle
Union to endorse its Notes, it might be

Republican Secretary OF the Treasury had

chusetts, and Pennsylvania, and Ohio,
and Iowa to 60 security for the general
government? Laughter z5.
