snd Arthur, in his message, said 1t was !;
and Garfield, in his speech in the House
OF Representatives, said II was and John
Sherman, in his speech the other day at
Cincinnati 10 the Chamber Of Commerce,
said it was-if all these people admit
aud common sense teaches US that it is
necessary to reduce tho surplus, the
question is, How can it be reduced2 ls
not plain answer, "Reduce the taxes? !"
IL you reduce the taxes, then the Govern
ment will not collect more money than 1t
has any necessity for, Dat il you keep up
these high taxes the Government con-
tinues to take the money out OF your
pockets for which it has no earthly use
and pile it MP in the Treasury or squan-
der it away. Now the issue is fairly
made up, Democrats say reduce the
taxea they are too high. These taxes
that are paid--insidiously paid, insidi-
eusly drawn-from the pockets of the
people by means Of high protective
tariff ought to be reduced.
Now, my friends, / would like to speak
TO you-and especially in this audience
80 largely made up Of vorkingmen-l
would like to speak to you longer than
have done. Who are friends. pray, OF
the workingmen ["The Democrats.
Yes when you say that yon just say that
you are your own friends, for my fellow
citizens, of every one hundred votes
cast by the Democrats in the whole
United States it may be safely affirmed
that ninety are votes OF the laboring
men. Applause ["Thats right. ]
That is fact. and to say that the
Democratic party is not the friend OF the
laboring man is to say that the Demo-
cratic party are set OF idiots and are
not entitled TO vote at all. Applause. ]
But they are entitled to vote they have
voted a great deal in this country.
Laughter. They kept for thirty or
forty or fifty years this country under
Democratic rule, and it fourished as
no country did before. They intend to
keep it under Democratic rule for awhile
longer. Applause 1t has done so well
during the last three years and half
that they intend to repeat the experiment
and make Grover Cleveland once more
President Of the United States. [Great
applause, oheers, "and Thurman Vice
President, tool Well, 1 don't know.
That depends upon your vote. ["We
hope so. y Now, my friends, l am going
to stop. ["Oh, no." Yes, am. ! am a
very civil man. | pride myself upon
that a just man, too, and l owe it to
that grand man who is your candidate
for Governor of the State to make way
and let him be heard for the remainder.

THAT MISSING $4,000 PACKAGE.
What the Pestm aster at Portland.
Oregon. Has TO Say About 1t.
[By telegraph to the Dispstch.l

tBy telegraph 70 the Utspstchl
PORTLAND, OREGON, August %. Post
master Robey. Of the Portland post
Office, makes the following statement re-
garding the missing $4,000 package:
81 have dispatch fully informing me
OF the matter. The pouch referred to
should have arrived in New York last
Thursday the 10th, but it did not get
there until Friday the 18th. That is to
say it should have reached there on the
10Th if no stop occurred in its transmits
sion. Last Saturday I received a
telegram from Postmaster Pear
son, of New York. He wanted to
know how many pieces were dispatched
in the registered pouch from which the
package is SAID to be missing. went
at once to the registry department and
found that eighty-six pieces were regis
tered on the way bill, which left here
August 18th. Postmaster Pearson re-
ported to mo that he had received but
eighty-fve. took the numbers of pieces
dispatched, and looked up the stub-book
in the Office and found that the missing
package was one shipped by the First
National Bank of this city to the
Chemical National Bank OF New York.
L reported promptly to Postmaster Pear
son that the lost package was correctly
dispatched from this Office, according
to our books on August 18th, In tho
through pouch, which he de-
seribed. Next [ turned Postmaster
Parsons telegram over 10 the postal
inspector in charge here, r. b. Treut-
land. We made thorough examina-
ton Of our regiStry-room TO see if there
was any possibility of the package being
there. We examined all the books and
the Office, also the registry clerks; we
have two, one Of whom checks against
the other. The chief clerk is r. s. Will
mer and ID. l.. Mcleod is his assistant.
Inspector Treutland took sworn afidavits
Of both of them. They testified that
they put the package in the pouch,
aud that it left this office oil
night. We never get the First National
Bank package until the very last moment
before the New York pouches close.
Fortunately when the bank officials or
employees desire US to hold open the
DOucn until tue la7b uOulcbb bhSJ tcAc-
phone to my Office. Recently | in-
Structed the registry clerks not to re-
ceive a package when it came too late,
thus requiring the bank to hold it until
the next day. The Chicago and Califor-
mia pouches always closed before the
New York pouch. Tho New York pouch
is the last to be closed. / found, on ex-
animation, that there was no possibility
of its straying into another pouch. The
register clerks both testified that they
Witnessed it being placed in the pouch
and to seeing the pouch locked. The
chief clerk prepared the pouch, and he
and his assistant signed the way-bill as
witnesses to the operation. ] know no
thing about the contents, but [ should
Judge, because OF the special arrange
ments for dispatching, that it was very
valuable package. Usually the bank
sends about $40, 900 in package. 1t was
through package, and not supposed to
be opened in transit. Some follow with
a duplicate key might have opened it.
The pouch had q rotary lock.

One OF the plans by which he worked

to drive around TO side door and
take in a barrel of bacon with wood on
the top of the bscon. Nothing was sus-
pected, as tho firm always thought it
was barrel OF wood he had gathered up
10 take to his family. While delivering
bacon to customers he would drive
around to his hdlse and leave his barrel

things stolen from the above firm stored

The parties arrested will appear be-
fore JuItice Crutchfeld for trial to-mor-

forty miles west OF Trinidad. A sheritfs
posse sent to keep the peace was met by
armed settlers in numbers estimated at
from 200 to 500 men.
The settlers demanded the arms OF the

took up quarters in the Pooler Hotel, q

deayored to force an entrance, when the
posse opened fire. X. ID. Russell, one

building was soon riddled with bullets.
The eyewitness who gave this informa-
