the Rev. Z. Walpole Warren had spoken as
follows:

The picture OF the Clergyman and the state-
ment that he was an Englishman. together
with great deal Of personal history. were also
called on Mr.. Warren to, find out i he had
really made the statement quoted. He would
not see any one nor has he since cons cnted to
see any newspaper man. His silence has gem
orally been accepted as an ad mission that he
used the language attributed to him. The
fact OF the matter is that his wife has been

There Is a general demand that two docu-

as follows:

Mr.. Clevcland's friends base his candidacy
upon the ground that he does not believe in

the documents outlined above show that he
has deserted limited coinage and tariff reform.
justas he deserted civil service reform. Tho

that figures never lie." We certainly
have nm unanswcrable argument against
the undertaking OF any financial pursuits by
tho Government. While In the case OF tho
London Postal Telegraph system the service
was greatly extended it has been done ut an
expense Of f4.000.OOO. which is the sum paid
out to carry on tho business for which slO,-
100000 were originally paid.
The system in the hands OF company or
corporation would undoubtedly earn a GOOD
profit on such an investmcu and In fact the
company from whom this system was pur.
chased were financially successful when their
business was taken by the Government.
No commercial business can DO as economi-
cally administered by public officials as by the
parties whose money Is involved. In one case
the improvements are In the direction of in
creased expense. while In the other the pro.
prietor is constantly studying economy. Nor
does this imply any deterioration in the ser.
