ensued. Some one espied Mr.. Villas

cried: Put him out" Mckinley, after
some effort, quoted the disturbers and

The laws which President Cleveland
was administering" continued Gov.
Mckinley, "were the laws made by the
Republican party"
This sally was followed by prolonged
cheering. closing with three cheers for
the Mckinley bill. Il call attention to
the further fact that we were then oper-
ating under the protection tariff law OF
1888; and all that President Cleveland
did during MS four years of office was
to execute Republican laws and Repub-
licau purposes. The reason VS. had
prosperity during these four years was
that the Democratic party was power,
less to change Republican purposes and
Republican law. In the same speech l
find that commentator is given to
President Cleveland for having pre-
served so much of the surplus in the
treasury and turned it over to
his successor. That is true.
He turned over $lS3, 000,0O0
When Mr.. Arthur took the office
of president he found in the treasury a
surplus OF s170.0o0.o00. When MIR.
Cleveland was ipaugurated he found
Sl59.000.000. When MIR. Harrison was
inaugurated there was 1888, 000. 900 in the
treasury, and when he entered upon his
second term the surplus was sl24,G00.

more than President Cleveland had to
start with in 1893. but this was because
President Harrison, instead of hoard
ing money iii the treasury and in pet
banks. paid off the obligations of the
government and reduced the public
debt by more than S233. GOT, 900.
Mr. Cleveland during his first
term paid Sl43. 200, 900 of the public debt.
but he refused to pay it keeping it in
favored banks, until by resolution of
congress he was forced 10 pay it out.

the public debt during his first term by

done so he would not have left as much

tration by $4,000. 900 as Mr.. Harrison
left for Cleveland at the beginning of
his second term. Sogreat Democratic
editor as Henry Watterson. of the
Louisville CourIer-Journal. has said
that if Mr.. Cleveland's second term had
been his first term he would never have
had a second term [Laaghter.l Some
one i'll the audience cried Out: How
much debt has been paid since the last
iuauguration?'
The debt has been the other wav,"
replied Mckinley. INSTEAD of paying
off any of the national debt, the preseut
administration has been compelled To
borrow S5O,UO0.O00 to pay the running
expenses OF the government, and has
been forced by reason of the eXigencies
of the treasury to encroach upon the
geld reserve of 500, zoo. 900, which had
never been eHcroached upon since the
hour that John Sherman established il
