assembled and done It's work IL found that
Eorman had defeated the Cleveland Democracy
nearly three to one. With that generosity which
is so often exhibited In this world when II costs
nothing Mr. German dictated and had passed a
resolution praisng the Administration, but he
also wrote and caused to be passed a resolution
declaring that the new Tariff law, which Presi-
dent Cleveland had denounced a measure Of
party perfdy and party dishonor and which he
had declined 10 approve, but refused to Veto was
the best legislation of the sort which had been en-
acted in the last thirty-hve years.
The foregoing review of the situation and pros
poets of the Democratic party in the South is be-
lieved to be fair and impartial. and as trust
worthy and accurate as all the information now
available will justify. II clearly shows that the
uneasiness and waning confidence Of Administra-

influences which they have thus far not been able

Treasury officials will not be surprised II this de-

The situation them alarm however, If
the facts are accurately gagged by the public ex-
pressions OF those in nigh places in the Depart

the bond syndicate has abandoned it's effort to re-

rate Of exchange. Treasury officials point out the
erroneous conclusion thus reached by showing that
a high rate OF exchange is the big inducement for
the expectation of gold. The position OF the syn

instead OF keeping the rate up. 1t has sought to

inducement Will there be to ship 1t.
To reduce the rate Of exchange seems to have
been the aim OF the syndicate. but II has not been
able to bring about the desired result The official
figures of the Treasury show that at the close OF
business the gold reserve stood at s0i i6s lo but
this does not show the withdrawal OF the $1,000 900

wthdra wal is due to the liquidation OF foreign OBJ

that the Street understands the nature OF the

a matter upOr which there is no advice. and there
is no reason why the Treasury should be taken
