Mr. speaker of October 9, failed TO satisfy on
the point of national finance yet, and believe
there of people that looks that question
as do stated told Mr.. Cleveland left the
treasury retiring the end of his first term
with 1s7 millions, and the cry "what shall we
do with the surplus" am told that at the begin

claimed that empty treasury his inheri-

October End excused Mr.. Harrison's administration
on the point that he had paid so much more of the
government Indebtedness than the Cleveland adj

were under the same treasury laws and their
ru ings. And seems to the conditions of the

property OF his badge, and il by him deemed the
improper thing to be Informed that his services

mind how much the referred to speaker had to say
about the southern shot gun policy in controlling
the coIored voter. If reports true and if only
p cent of truth is manifested, single stand

Bryan voter may do your figuring as to the
morality in either method
Now, to the speakers letter ''unraveling:" we are
perfectly satisfied. We only hope the committee
under whom he works will allow him to do the
balance of the talking for this club from now on
throughout the balance of the campaign. Now
