COL. AIKEN

and made telling speech. He confined
himself to National politics entirely, and
showed In strong terms the necessity for
change In the Federal government and
tho difficulty in obtaining 1t. He showed
tho waste Of the peoples money under
the Republican party, who annually
raised o sum equal to eight dollnra fox
every va:ss ia tho Union. One hundred
million doIlars was every year given of
In pensions, and oil sorts of pretexts
we're made 70 appropriate 1t for partisan
purposes: This money 10 collected indi.
rectly, which ie the most insidlous mon.
ner of collecting It, because 1t is not
realized by tho people. The masses OF
the voters in this State, If asked how
much they pay TO the sgeneral government,
would say nothing, while In fact they
pay heavy tax that ID levid on importa

collected thue indirectly, but In no lesu
burdensorne manner, than direct tax to
the came amount would be. He sketched
Blaine's record In o stirling manner.
That about twenty ,years ago he went
into Congress poor man, and now nj.
though he had family to support all
that time, and only received salary of
five thousand dol!ars year, he was re-.
puted TO DO worth two million dollars.

believed Cleveland would be elected, but
that the Republican party would uso the
