FRIDAY
Tongue at Lebanon.

Hon. Tl,es eongne spoke last night at
Lebanon TO big house for two hours and
torty minutes. Two hours were devoted
to the tariff and lorty minutes to finance.
Mr.. Tongue flows eioquently and is un.
donb.edIy good talker; but with all
his eloIuence he can not make most peo-
pie believe the tariff is the issue, just at
the close OF a congress that promised
much and has done nothing, and with a
tariff law already in force that Is working
well and which would more than meet
expenses but for extravagant appropria-
tions and ipjudicious expenses. He
straddles the money question, on the face
of it fishing for the votes Of both silver
ties and goldites; but the fact that he
will oppo-e the free coinage OF silver le TO
independent OF other countries, shows
his hand on that question. This straddling
position fooled the people q few years ago
but it does not now. Mr.. Tongue De-
came so heated that when about two
thirds through he took on his coat and
spoke in his shirt sleeves. His address
was listened to inteatly by men Of all
parties.
