Governor Hogg, of Texas, having
predicted that In few weeks the an

the lofty buildings with the hearts,
lungs, and iivers of citizens" it is per-

much about the intentions of the an
archists. He certainly talks AS IL he
had been arranging the plot with
them. In fact, Governor Hogg is a

The democratic senators who are ex-
pressing their Indignation mt the du-
plicity of the President, cannot CON
plain that they were not warned. On
May 18th. this newspaper said eiitori-
ally: 1.-The Press has pointed out from
the first that the pretended protection
to certain Northern industries in the
bill was slam. whose sole purpose
was to get the measure through the
Senate aud into the hands of COM
nittee of Administration tools. Hav-
ing by this method secured the acqui-
escence of a majority in the Senate,
the Cleveland Bourbon combination
proposes to frame a measure that will
virtually sacrifice every Northern in
dustry aud wipe out the amendments
that had been used only to deceive.
The whole scheme is nothing more
than a 'bnnco' game" On June 4th,
The Press said: The Press has al
ready warned Senators against this
despicable but dangerous bunco game.
1t reiterates che warning. No depend
ence whatever can be placed OH the
pretended concessions. They are made
to purchase votes or lessen hostility to-
ward the mongrel measure, and It is
the intention of the desperate politi-
cal gamestrrs who are directing the
democratic tactics to withdraw and
nullify them at a later stage of events"
What The Press published is exactlv
what has happened. The explicit
statements of Senators German, Har-
ris, Jones and Vest on Monday dem~
onstrated that the President was thor
oughly informed in regard to the dem
ocratic tariff bill at every stage of it's
progress; that he was frequently con.
suited by leading democratic Senators
in regard to it; that he repeatedly ex-
pressed his anxiety for the passage of
the bill in its compromise form; and
that in none of his interviews did he
even intimate that free coal and iron
must be features of the measure in or
der to win his approval. The famous
official statemen of Secretary Car
isle on April 29th., declared that the
pending bill. with It's duties on coal
and iron ore, did not involve "any sur
render of principle. and that 1t could
be supported without abandoning
any part of the democratic policy of
tariff reform" This was generally
accepted by democrats as the Presi.
dents own view; and, as Mr.. German
testified, it made possible democrat.
ic agreement on the bill, which other
wise would have been impossible. IN.

tons and recommend their adoption.
Resolced. That we renew our faith
and confidence in the Republican par
ty which has so long demonstrated its
LOYALTY to the best interests OF good
government. of, for and by the people
of this whole country:
ReSolUed, That the events of the
past two years have singularly and
Enthusiastically demonstrated that the
party now in power in the general gov
ernment, who gained power by deceiv-
ing and flattering the voters, is fail
ure; and that the theory under which
they gained power has developed into
a condition which now confronts this
country with alarm and CONSERVATION.

late the sacredness of the ballot and
that such action again demonstrates

can not be well governed except on
the principles of protection.
