very adroit politician add sakes
q very different speech 70 what
has been the want Il iPsarsi

Indeed, Brow Erwis, Siusletsry 4
Co, would scarcely recogntze 1t

continuous abas Of the Demo.
cratic PARTY. Tho sdrOitness OF
the speech was that eight.tenths
Of his time was taken up In OBJ
jections to the Democratic party,
sud thereby avoiding any expla-
nation or defense Of the teachings
Of his own part. HE objections
were recklessly made, half truths
and half error, and sometimes
wholly erroneous. He insists that
there 10 no Other issne Of impor.
lance except money, aud that his
party has discovered the universal
panscsa for oil the lille resulting
from q lack Of money, and yet,
singulsrly enough, he skipped
over the main cDntsntious Of HE
party and only presented the Pos
tai Savings Bark 40 the great
remedy to give relief He evi.
IDENTITY intends TO dodge . defense
of the Picker Snb-treasury bill
and the Land Loan scheme IN this
canvass, and TO hedge round .

did face up somewhat on the pur.

And strange again to say, that
