GOVERNOR MCKINLEY. in his speech
accepting his par:ys denomination.
attributed all the present financial
ills to the Cleveland administration.
The Rochester. y. Y. Herald. one OF
the ablest republican papers in the
east. scouts this idea. In carefully
written review of the situation this
republican paper says:
One of the meanest kinds of politi-
cal Justification is to charge the dem
ocratic admin stratiOn with response
bility for the present unsatisfactory
condition of the country's finances.
Even the same organs making this
senseless accusation admit that the
trouble largely is due to two causes
namely, the Sherman silver pur-
chase bill and the long continued
heavy exports of gold. Now as to
the Sherman bill. the Cleveland adj
ministration manifestedly carnot be
held accountable for that, because
the measure was passed by a congress
republican in both branches and
signed by President Harrison. And
how about the gold exports?
Touching this important subject
Int new Il OIh w OllNi SCIIt
timely and enIightening figures.
During President Cleveland's first
term our net gain in gold exports
was S54.772. 900. During President
Harrison's administration the net
loss of gold to this country by export
was 1922, 624, 900. The Harrison ad-
ministration received from the
Cleveland administration S97, S74. 412
in free gold. or that amount above
the 800, 900, 900 reserve. Last March
all it turned over to the second
Cleveland administration was 1857
600 in gold, and that and more had
been borrowed by Secretary Foster
In view of these undisputed facts,
it is reckless folly 10 try to :asten up
on the Cleveland administration re-
sponsibility for the events and con-
ditions with which it has no more to
do than Pontius Plate.

The citizens of Davenport, Rock

successful practice of medicine
through the physicians of the Scott

take special pleasure and gratitica-
ton in the knowledge that two i'm
portant facts have become so deeply
rooted in this communitv-that is
professionally they are beyond as
sault or reproach and that when they
say cure" it means CURE and not
simply a benefit or relief for few

how DR.. Depew Got Up q Speech.

Before his death DR.. Nermilye had for
many years spoken to the toast Holland"
at the annual dinner of the organization.
Some II years ago, and on the morning of
the day set for the banquet, he was taken
i'll and notified the dinner committee that
he would be unable to make his wonted
Grafton.
At 4 O'Clock on the same day Depew en-
tered the office of John A. Nichols at q
Broadway, New York, wearing a worried
expression and q perspiration bedewed fore
head
Nichols" he said, Pm in a fix, and
want you TO help me out. These St Nicho-
las people have just wired me that in the
absence of DR.. Vermilye they look to me TO
respond to Holland l don't know the
first thing about the subject, and it's 4
o'clock"
''Well?" said Mr.. Nicholas.
"Now," went on Depew, lust you take
me by the arm and walk me up Broadway
to Twenty-third street Don't talk to me
and don't expect me to talk to You. Just
steer me clear of people. mind I don't get
run over at the crossings and 90 slow.
That's all want you to do"
Mr.. Nichols did as requested, and the pair
did not exchange a word until Twenty
third street was reached at Sis n. m.
"Thankee," said Depew as he parted with
his friend. Il guess I'm all right
At 7:3O p N. the first thing that the eye
of Mr.. Nichols met as he sat down at the
dinner table was the bland, unrufi1ed,
smoothly shaven face of Depew. The
speech that he made later is yet a delight
full tradition in the annals Of the St. Mich
Olas society. 1t was chock full of wit, fact,
figures and sentiment Nobody but Mr..
Nichols dreamed that it had been conceived,
shaped and born amid the riot and roar of
