a fall in the price of Russian securities.

The Republican Committee Quoting
Democratic Speeches.

The republican congressional committee
Is actively engaged in extensively circulat-
Ing what might be called democratic
boomerangs." The republicans are appro-
priating democratic artillery and turning
1t upon the democracy. They are using
democratic speeches and statements of all
kinds as supporting republican doctrines and
to the undoing of the democrats. For in
stance, something like one million copies of
the PRESIDENTS famous letter to Mr.. VIII
son nave been circulated by the republi-
cans Half a million copies of Bourke Cock

age or the tariff bill will be sent out. About
million copies of the paragraph from Sem

publicat1on Of the Wilson letter will be
used That paragraph is as follows: THE
best campaign document furnished the re-
publican party, of which we will not hear
the last until the approaching canvass is
ended, Will be the letter of the President
denouncing the Senate without exception
FOR having framed bill the provisions of

Secretary of the Treasury, to prevent the
issue of interest-bearing bonds to carry on

quotations from democratic statesmen,
which, in the view of .hc committee tend
to support republican principles.
