Just ten years ago the first Of last
month Samuel ]. rilden, 1t the mo-
ment Of his retirement from public
affairs, wrote to Hon. John G. Car
Isle. the speaker Of the house OF
representatives, what may now be
as Z state paper, and in terms Of
patriotic warning, in which he said :
"In considering the state and man
agement Of public revenues, the
subject involves the question wheth-
er We shall extinguish the surplus
by reducing the revenue. or whether
We shall apply the surplus to pay
menus on the public debt, or whether
We shall seize the occasion to pro-
vide for our sea coast defenses,
which have been long neglected.
l am Of the opinion that the latter
is . paramount necessity which
ought to precede the reduction Of
the revenue, and ought also precede
IN excessive rapidity in the payment
OF the public debt" These words
are of special force at this moment,
as much so As on Dec. |, 1895.

the position II took upon this question.
Considering the heated discussions that
marked the currency contest in Virginia,
and tho rush and push Of members TO
get through with the business OF the
convention in one day. the wonder Is that
the minority and majority did not part In
anger. SO far from this, but for the
lateness of the hour when the convention
adjourned, 1t might have been easily

president Of the convention. the Hon.

and impartialiiy. And here let us say
that the general verdict is that stanton
handled the convention with great credit
to herself and with satisfaction TO the
delegates. Stanton IS lovely city, and
we know OF no more hospitable people.
