That Circus story.

1t will be remembered that several
months ago a Democratic paper in Wash.
ington published a sensational SANDER
about Hon. H. H. Riddleberger in a
scene at Barnum s circus in that city 1t
was to the effect that the Senator pur-
chased tickets for a party of fifteen men,
which proved to be bogns, and being re-
fused at the door, a row followed and the
police were called in. This, like number
Of other statements from the same source
about Mr.. Riddleberger, was lie out of
the whole cloth. as evidenced by the fol-
lowing from the Senator to the Petersburg
hade,c appeal which published the story
as it appeared in the Washington paper
A prominent and accomplished Virginia
journalist, temporarily resident in Wash
ington, who was with the Senator at the
time, made to us similar statement to
that below. How many of the Virginia
Democratic papers, which gave circulation
to the SANDER. will have the manliness
and fairness to give equal circulation to
the truth Here it is:
If you could believe me capable of such
conduct as was alleged against me, and that

patch | have no right to complain of your
comments. Therefore l shall discard
them, and submit to your sense of justice
the real facts
The Fifteen men" mentioned consisted
OF myself and six of my seven children.
The starting point, which by innuendo
IS made place of bad resort, were the
rooms occupied by my entire family.
The cheap tickets which were bought and
turned out to be bogus were purchased by
me OF the regular agent within five PAGES
OF the entrance to the canvas, and paid nine
dollars for Including reserved seats.)
At the entrance we were refused admis-
sion because, as we were informed, the
canvas was full.

A Democratic Opinion.

1t is not necessary for the Republican
press to point out the shortcomings and
failures of this Democratic Congress-
The Democratic press has sagacity enough
to understand the situation and publish
to the country that the Democratic party
has not the capacity to administer the gov
eminent nor the fidelity and honesty to
redeem its promises to the people. AS an
illustration of this, we reproduce from
the Louisville Courier Journal a confess
sion and arraignment far more emphatic
and severe than anything we have seen
from a Republican source. The Journal
is Democratic paper of the most intense
persuasion and speaks for a majority of
the party in the Southwest, if not through.
out the whole country. Read what it
says:
The Democratic party was large enough
two years ago to elect Mr.. Cleveland and
to secure a majority in the House but
what is its victory worth?
Has it cut down expenses to any eonsid-
cradle extent?
Has it to any degree improved the cur
rency
Has it done anything whatever to re-
lieve the industrial depression
Did the party's majority in the House
prevent the passage of an extravagant
River and Harbor bill?
Are the pension bills in danger because
the Democrats control the committee
And, most Important of all. has a Dem
Ocratic victory lightened taxation at any
point, or diminished the annual surplus :;
surplus which is the one excuse for ex-
travagant appropriations and the cause of
corrupt legislation ?
In fact, it was to all intents fruitless
victory. 1t was victory which saved us
from four years carnival of political
crime under Blaine, undoubtedly. but its
advantages were purely negative.
The promises of relief held out in oar
national pla form have lot been kept The
hope that extravaganza would end and econ
Umy prevail. and a reduction of taxation
would be made. limiting the revenues to the
actual needs of an economical government,
has died.
