Ex-Postmaster General Dickinson
was here last night. In talking on the
subject with II personal friend he told
him he Was sure Mr.. Cleveland would
not call an extra session of Congress.
An old democratic eX-mcmber OF the
House who was informed this morning
of what Mr.. Dickinson had said remark
ed that he feared as much, and

the benefit OF few rich? Are the
millions of poor now 10 be told that rs

offices, the robbing and pillagng are to
