Delaware from gradual extinction.
Among the speakers were J. J. Ross,

Ohio Coupty's Gifted Orator.


One of the most eloquent and gifted
young men of West Virginia is the Hon.
john O. Pendleton, member OF Congress
from the First District Of our State,
who addressed the Democracy Of Lewis
county at Weston on Monday. The
large audience which greeted him and
heard his splendid speech will bear us
out I'm this assertion. When Mr.. PEN
diet0n addressed his remarks to the
subject of the tariff he leaves his hear
erS In mo doubt as 20 its taxing quail
ties and its direct effect upon the farm
erS Of the country. Every article of
actual necessity IS increased in price by
reason of the tarig which theRepublican
Congress has imposed upon the people,
and as long as this system OF unjust
and mercileSs imposition is allowed to
go on just SO long will the masses con-
time 10 suffer.

BANKRUPT TREASURY.

The Treasury to-day is worse than
penuiless. over 500, 600 is the deficit
shown by the Treasury books, and but
a little over two years ago GROVER
CLEVELAND left $4,000, 600 Of avail
able assets in the public purse. These
are facts for Republicans to ponder over
at midnight and to chow upon at their
meals. The late Biluon-Dollar Congress
has looted the public vaults left fat by
the late Democratic administration.
We find i'm our Washington report that
the TreaSurer's books showed a cash
balance of S43.O6l, pa last Saturday, but
$50, 22O. $50 Of this amount was in frac-
tional silver ana S23,G27,411 was on de-
post in national banks, leaving S7S7, III
of deficit. The fractional silver can
not be used as it is intended for the
a. per cent. bonds. Nor can
the twenty-three millions on de-
post in national banks be called
IN, as it Is there TO meet pension
drafts. This last drain on the Treasury
is the result Of the last pension drafts,
which drained an already dry Treasury.
The question now is, where will Secre-
tary FOSTER turn for resources TO meet
the current expenses OF the govern
ment, especially at moment when the
hat-ribbon decision is likely to call for
a refunding Of from $4,000, 900 TO $780,
100000? No wonder the people have
begun to look into the actions Of the
Republican party.
