He said that in the first place there was @ surplus of one hundred and twenty-five millions. He gave figures to show that during President Cleveland's ad- ministration the surplus had been steadily reduced while the public debt daily increased "At this rate," said MT. Kellogg, five would soon have an enormous debt and no surplus at all. He attributed great part of the victory to the vigorous work done by the young Rspub- licans who had so bravely won their spurs in

 Hon. w. E. Simonds, who was to respond to "The skirmish Line," was unavoidably absent.
