VEST RIDICULEs 1T.
Cleveland Too Sensible to Rush
Headlong Into an Extra Session.

Senator Vest returned to Kansas
City Wednesday from Texas, where
he has been since the election. He
expressed himself freely as to how
the Democracy should handle the
tariff during the coming session of
Congress, but ridiculed the idea of an
extra session.
"AIr. Cleveland is too level-headed
for any such nonsense" said he. ale
does not believe in a cavalry charge
upon the existing system of taxation
and finance. He is firm, but also con
servative and knows that we
must make haste slowly. We
intend to do the work thor
oughly, but not like boys at play. Our
first duty when we meet in December
viii be to provide for the deficit Great
ed by our Republican friends in the
billion dollar congress. We must re-
deem our promise to the people and
prove ourselves worthy of their conf
dence. If we do, the Democratic party
will control the republic for the next
quarter of a century.
