SOMETHING WRONG.

They rallied to Point With PRIDE"
The Republican National Committee
recently held meeting at Louisville,
KY. They talked over the situation
but didn't say much about the tariff.
The speeches made on the occasion
developed the fact that they dom
know yet what hit them in the last
election. The most remarka bic thing,
however. that didn't occur was, that
among number. Of resolutions passed
they omitted, for the first time in. d
period of twenty-five years, to point
with pride" to their past record.
There is something wrong-a screw
loose somewhere. It is q cold day
when the average Republican politi-
clan will neglect such golden op-
portunity to e'point with pride' to
the glorious record of his party. It
is true the cold chills of defeat were
still creeping up their spinal columns,
but they might have omitted that part
OF their past record. There are many
other things to which they might
have called the attention of public
that is altogether too prone to forget.
It might, for instance, have called at
tention to the fact that it provided
payment for the soldier who fought
for the Union, in deprecated paper
money, while it paid the bondholder
in gold.
1t might have mentioned the fact
that it was the father of the National
banking system.
1t might have taken upon itself the
glory of contracting the currency and
bringing ruin, poverty and misery
to thousands of honest citizens of the
republic.
It might have patted itself on tho
back for the part it played in strength
ening the public credit by giving the
bondholders six hundred million dol.
lars more value than the contract
called for.
1t might have said 1--WE point with
pride" at the demonstration of silver.

At the Pacific Railroad subsidies:
At the Credit Mobilier swindle;
At the wholesale squanderinr Of

If EUROPE and the American gold
bugs want us to adopt the single gold
standard as basis for our currency,
they are giving us an object lesson of
the unreliability of such base that is
not calculated to induce us to take
their advice. A pretty system it would
be with our currency here and it's
base over in Europe.

yield to the policy of Mr.. Cleveland in
his enmity to silver, but in the face of
his wishes and the demands of Wall

have got that far-much to the regret
of the gold bugs, but as plutocracy
we are making rapid strides in that

tee on printing, reported back the resolu-
ton providing that all documents and book;
ordered by the Fffty-second Congress and
remaining undistributed at this time shall

Mr.. Coombs On. " thought that the res

Mr.. Richardson said that unless the reso-
luton was adopted the documents which
were published before the first Monday in
December would be distributed TO members
who had retired on the 4th Of March and
not to the sitting members.
The resolution was adopted.
The Speaker called the committees for re-
ports, but the only one that fell into the
hopper was one authorizing the Secretary
OF the Treasury to settle the accounts be-
tween the United States and Florida. IL
was made by Mr.. Hutchinson cTexD, from
