certain amount has been appropriated
and expended from the treasury OF
said State, the year next preceding, for
soldiers homes and their support, artl-
fetal limbs, and the maintenance and
support of disabled and dependent eX-
Confederate soldiers or their widows,
accompanied with a sworn statement
of the proper disbursing officer, giving
the names of those to whom aid has
been furnished and the amount to each,
am. the amount expended on soldiers
homes and their support. Upon this
basis the Treasurer shall pay to such
Governor the amount shown to have
been so expended by the said State or
States, and these payments shall go

soldiers shall survive, or any money OF

II have twenty thousand constitu-
ents who want office under the organ
ization of the next house, and each
will hold me responsible for the fail
ure of the Republicans to recognize
the south" Thus spoke Tom Settle
after going the rounds of the Head
quarters to see if there was a chance
for Southerner to get an office in the
reorganization of the House. State
Senator Fortune found out the South
wasn't in it and returned home after
staying here a day or two.
He refused 10 listen to the argu-
ments which proclaim Ben Russell of
Missouri, as a Southern man. The
Southeast repudiates the old border
states, and moreover, as Tom Settle
says:
Russell may get an Office if his state
goes through. but then there may be a
new shuttle and new slate formed
without any southern man on it. Ken
lucky, Tennessee and North Carolina
deserve recognition, but they will get
nothing. How can we hope to get
Georgia and Mississippi for the grand
lies get nothing"
II am for Mr.. Reed said Mr. Settle
speaking of the Presidential race, ''and
I believe that my State Will send a
solid Reed delegation to the next Ma
tionaI Convention. Governor Mckinley
has many friends in my State, but not
enough TO prevent the election of Reed
delegates"
Hon. j. Sterling Morton "has broke
loose again., as a gentleman said yes
terday Here is his latest: ''Why
should President Cleveland be opposed
to third term any more than bank
president. This is not stating that
President Cleveland is a candidate for
I'D 20 10 h44
knows but himself
The talk of a third term has been
confined only to newspapers. and there
is no one who can say he ever heard Mr..
Cleveland give an expression on the
subject. | am not in a position to state
whether Mr.. Cleveland will be candi-
date or not There is one thing | can
say, however, the management of the
government is a business, as is the
management Of a bank.
In bank, the business is entirely
confined to the management of the fin
auces of many people. If bank pres
idsnSAhas proven himself competent
and faithful he is reelected, not only
once or twice. but dozens Of times. The
business of a government is that of
managing and preserving the interests
of the people of nation, and maintains
ing life, liberty and property, and if "a
bank president is elected many times
why should it not oe SO with the Pres
ident OF the United States? 2"
