A COSTLY ADMINISTRATION.

Representative Cannon Furnishes the Democ-

Special to the Indianapolis JouruaE
wAsHI iroN, Sept. iS.-Representativs Can
non, Of Danville, H., made q speech in the
House, this afternoon, on the surplus which was
a "corker.D He produced figures in detail show
ing that President ClevelAnd's administration
had been the most expensive ono since the
formation Of the government; that it has not
only exceeded the cost of the last admnistra-
tons to the extent Of over 800 000 900, but there
has bsen more money expended carelessly than
ever disbursed by a former administration.
Mr.. Cannon has for many years been one Of the
most active members of the committee ap
propriations, .and is, therefore, familiar with
every detail of the appropria tions which have
been made during the past decade. He was
vigorous in his arraignment OF tho sdmipistrs-
ton, and WAS applauded continuously. Mr..
Burpes, OF Missouri. aud other members of the
committee on appropriations, ATTEMPTED to break
the force of his statements, but they were ds
fsated at every point. Mr.. Cannon is one of the
strongest Republican members in Congress, and
the Danville district will doubtless return him
with an increased majority In November.
