That was about the style Of the speech
that he made. Nothing is good that is not
British. and whatever Great Britain
desires, she ought to have. He is our

the Monroe doctrine? The papers say
Olney will. 1 say Olney won't, if the

is but a brief specimen of the conduct of
foreign affairs by Mr.. Cleveland. He has
done this himself. He doesn't ask any
body to help him. / do not wonder at
his concert. A man who has had the
career that he has had has reason to
think that he is something more than an

n national Democratic convention, with a

the largest State in the Union-against
him, and carry off the. nomination and

Senator Frye then proceeded to arra1gn
the last Congress for its remarkable ex-
hibition of incapacity and stupidity IN
caustic and vigorous manner, calling
forth frequent applause. He discussed

Mckinley bill that are wrong, yet, In his
opinion, it was the best tariff law ever
enacted in the United States.
