fidelity and economy, and there has
not been the slightest suspicion, even
in the minds of partisans, of any mis-
conduct or abuse either in the collec-

e A democratic contemporary
sneers: 1.-The most considerable monu-
ment left by the Harrison administra-
ton was an empty treasury" But
what are the facts? During President
HarrisOn's administration he paid over
$3.50, 600, 900 of the public debt and. de-
creased the annual interest paid by
S34. 900, 600. He left the $1,000, 900 re-
serve gold and a few millions in excess
for current use. Besides all that, there
is in the treasury, valued in coin, more
than $500, 600, OOO There is plenty in the
treasury to test democratic honesty
and craftsmanship to take care of it

garded Clevelands address as a great
infliction, for they knew that they
were the chief factors in his election
and that he cannot throw them over
board much as ne would like TO do so.
What he can do, however, is to cast
dust in the eyes of the mugwumps and
make them believe that he is still the
reformer whom they hailed as polit-
zeal messiah eight years ago.-San
Francisco Chronicle.
