of office at the close Of his hrst term
delivered over to the Harrison Admins

rule and vandalism, delivered BACK 10
him a depleted Treasury. etc.
THE HARD TINES"
He showed that the hard times COM
menced under Uarrison's Administrator
In 1880 there were 10.s07 failures; IN 1871
/ l2 273 Ranks commenced to suspend uh-
der HarrIson's Administration. but durins
Cleveland's present term more than ~
per cent OF them have opened tneir uoolS
| and resumed business: that uurihs 'i"'

| He met the free sugar cry by reaolns w
| testimony OF Havemeyer pres,oen'
| the American Sugar Trust before ,ne
| Senatorial Committee. a committee ap
| pointed by the Senate to investigate the
trust and that he then admitted tnat
! the trusts received In three years s[o'VU,
| OOo. and II could not have received IL eN-
| cent by the Mckinley law; that the trust
| would continue to receive IL as ions ms
| the Mckinley bill existed, ana 'hh' pc
cause the Democrats had taken aWaS s,ns
| bounty the sugar-planters or LOUISIANA
| had bolted the Democratic party. lie
further showed that the amount received
| nv the Sugar Trust was much more IMAM
| MIR. Uavemeyer admitted; that the aver
| age consumption OF sugar for the last
| three wears has been $500 900 900 pounds,
| and that the tariff on II at three-eighths
| OF a cent a pound amounted to Sf'Zo'"V
annually. or si2750.000 during the three

year to the Sugar Trust He defended the
| Democrats for putting wool on the Tree
list.
CHEAPER CLOTHING.
| He referred TO the fact that under

low tariff 1t had increased in price; that

manufacture at a lower price and there
by the people buy cheaper clothing. lie
showed that the present administration

government s2s.0O000. and that the ex-
penses OF the departments had been re-

He showed that the articles admitted
free under the Mckinley bill were OF
no benefit to the laboring people; that
the capitalist was not taxed. but the
| workngmen were heavily taxed on al
the necessares OF life; that the new Dill
| corrected this grave injustice.
A FINE IMPRESSION.
| Governor O'Ferrall was introduced by
| the Hon. Robert c. Jackson in snort
but pointed speech. Governor OFerralT
speech made a fine impression here. He
sowed seed which will spring up ana
bring forth an abundant crop OF Demo
cratic voters TO the polls on the OH
day of November. Governor OFerrall
made decidedly the best speech we nave

Of Cornett. the Republican nominee. Inc
latter addressed a small crowd at the
courthouse; his law partner. Captain
Crockett. also made a few remarks
Last. but not least Haze the
