special session last night to consider the
trip to the Presidential Inauguration on
March 4. Two plans were suggested, one

the other to leave on Sunday, March 8.
There was considerable objection to start
ing away on Sunday. and it was finally de-
cided to leave on Saturday, March 2, and
returning leave Washington on Tuesday,
March 5.

member about $50.

A NOTABLE GATHERING.

The meetings Of the Democratic socie-
ties Of Pennsylvania have been notable
for the interest they have excited all
over the country and for the imposing
array of able and honorable champions
Of tariff reform and reduced taxes
and an honest and economical ad
ministration. These demands are en-
phasized because they come from the
commonwealth, which above all others,
has advocated the pernicious doctrine of
protective tariff by which the rich have
grown richer and the poor have sunk
lower and lower into abject squalor and
starvation. These facts everywhere Co
existent showed that these protection
list beggars We're telling the most i'm
pudent and unblushing lies ever known
in the history Of the world. In the hot
bed Of the tariff-fattened beneiciaries
Chauncey f. Black declares
AS to tariff taxes, for instance, discrimi.
mating against many Industries to arti-
ficially stimulate few, pillage the mass
to enrich class, no Democrat believed
their imposition consistent with re-
publican system.
Ills speech at the time when the
Republicans feel that they have pur-
chased a new and indefinite lease Of
power. When they feel that the govern
ment and all its machinery is to be used
to build up their party and strengthen it's
hold on the officers When they feel assured
chat they are in such absolute possession
that the tariff-robbers, the subsidy
beggars and the pension agents may make
any reprisals whatever on the Public
Treasury which they esteem commensu-
rate with the money and the services they
expended to put the Republican party in
power. These compact, importunate and
insatlate organizations estimate their own
services and demand their own reprisals.
II was great triumph for tariff and tax
reform that such a meeting in such q
commonwealth and during the present
tendency to public proaigacy was held in
Pennsylvania It is great triumph tc
the pure and honorcd principles Of De.
mocracy that they were SO eloquently and
cogently advocated and that they were
received by the people with such an en-
thusiastic approval.
All Of these things are evidences that
the principle that unnecessary taxation
is unjust taxation" has taken such deep
root in the minds of the people that the
popular clamor for lower taxes win bend
or break the Republican party no matter
what its apparent strength may be at
present.
