The general attacked the policy Of the

most vigorous manner, dealing fierce
blows at the Wilson nil. He contrasted
the state Of prosperity Of the country
under the Mckinley system OF protection
with the unrest aud decline OF trade since

, for he fitunred IN the face of the republi

prreches pockets, and wanted to bet thi
visionary sum that he, the prospective
councilman, was right and the past gen
a era wrong. Luckily for our frien'
Kean 81. Oh ,res, the general was M
