The Rev. George Steel spoke to a
good sized crowd at Workman's Hall
here on last Friday evening. The
Reverend gentleman started out on the
tariff, but as the tariff is not the ques-

however, on that line. then taking to
the real issue, that OF silver. His ad-
vocacy and defence of the gold stand
ard system of money was of course,
from Republican point of view fairly
good, and brought forth at times ex-
pressions of applause. but the most of
the cheers came from his oftrepeated
stories of the lrishman, and some OF
which failed to connect. Among 9th
er things he said in part, of his read
ing the Life of Washington he started
to read it, and after reading one page
or one chapter and came to where
Washington said he never told a lie he
then Quit. He said then Washington
couldn't be Democrat. What a won
derful amount of veracity doth the
Reverend Steel possess. In the above
assertion Mr.. Steel tells q barefaced
lie when he says he saw or heard that
sentence in the Life OF George Wash
