ami divers respects. lie
showed an increase in receipts Of over
slEwI 1000, aud Il diminution in eX-

20 the Public Domain from the grasp of
PET OPERATIONS OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY
and that the party would 20 on in this
work Of rcrldiming from their grasp.
General Gotf charged that the Democrat
/. party i'm the last campaign had charged
chr Republicans with accommodating in the
treasury from oppressive taxation 400, 900
U1U OF dollars and had promised the peO-
pie to apply this To the public
debt and that resolution to 80 apply it
h.d pusSed both houses and that Mr..
Cleveland had failed 10 approve it. The
Judge in answer stated that the General
va, not informed ON the subject; that
there never was ~ much ~ SiOO, 900, 900
subject To such appropriation TO the public
debt. nor WAS il in fact only SlOO,O 900, 900
10 the treasury from such taxation. There
waS Sil .OOO, ,OOO in the treasury then, but
apart Of this WAS represented by gold and
silver certificates, amounting To about

Neglect YOU. oh no, General, he will not
neglect YOU, but rs for myself l have no
apprehension of a call OF this character.
TARIFF.
On the subject of tariff Judge BrannOn
sad, lurrply, that there was no such a
party - a tree trade party in the sense
conveyed by Gen. GOff and Others In this
country. that Mr.. Blaine IN his
oooN states in substance that such
proposition had never been made
oy any party in the country.
That Mr. Blaine and his competitor
'looi tograther the only difference being
.ai, when Blaine would climb pine tree
'1 Maine, the General was found ut its
Ioot playing second fiddle, and that we did
1o' intend to have any more cOOnS IN the
P'ne tree nor any fiddle ut the root. That
nee Trade WAS blazOned as high rs Cleo pa
I'd needle TO scare and frighten the
peOpie when there is nothing in it and no
que Tor It. That he was in favor of, and
IS always been, for sustaining and up
1O.ulng our industrial systems and our
1A'uFa! resources of coal, iron,
"%! ana timber. That the
Suo'e tariff problem now under

,'ue ior ltS expenditures, pensions, and
.TTI'onaole OF extraordinary charges, IS sim
:! ap'1ctical one in the adjustment in
- schedules. That the revenue last year
