Political Dynamite.

Tons upon tons OF political dyna-

from the official report of the repub-
lican secretary of the treasury:
Deficit in the last year of

Estimated deficit 10 the
first year of the Ding
lev law $4,000, 900
Estimated deficit in the
second year of the
Dingley law 21,647, 1856
This is taking the most hopeful
view of the government receipts and
expenditures, republican manage
ment will produce q larger deficit
two years hence than the deficit last
yeal Aud the republican party will
face thu congressional elections next
year with a deficit to explain away
larger than the deficit last year by

1--WE had overlooked how Mai.
Salmon stood on the silver question.
One of our correspondents says he
won't do because he did not favor
silver until after the Chicago con.
vention and another says he has just
rs much right to run for Represent
alive as Maj. Salmon for Governor.
II the Democrats of Missouri shall
doubt Maj. Salmon's sincerity on the
silver question, or any ono else's,
they will not accord either their
support, you can rest assured "
Butler Democrat.
Be careful there, gentlemen.
There is such thing as drawing
the line too closely in these matters.
If Msj Sslmon's Democracy was
ever questioned, this is our first init.
nation of that fact. Furthermore,
suppose a man was not an avowed
silver Democrat until after the
Chicago convention, but stood by
his party aud its platform after that
convention. should this debar him
now' II he was not q candidate at
that time and did not shift in his
opinions merely for the sake of Office,
is there anything in the record
against him now!
The Review was opposed to Cleve-
land ct the time of his first non-i-
nation, as it's files will show, solely
because it believed him unsound on
the money question. But the Re-
view was for Cleveland teeth and
toe-nsils after his nomination, and
We do not believe that any Democrat
who fell into line and supported the
nominees Of the Chicago convention
and it's platform aud who still ad-
heres thereto, should be debarred
at the present time from full affili-
alton with his party, its defeats or
victories.

Harmon Francis, private, Co. K,

substitution of the name of George
for that of Harmon, and that an
honorable discharge be granted to
George Francis. This is the story
that lies behind the bill:
When the war broke out, Harmon
Francis enlisted in Co. K. His ex,
perience during the first six or
seven months was so unpleasant
that he coolly made up his mind to
desert. He walked into his Penn.

that he had grown tired of war and
intended to give it up. The fate OF

Mr.. DeArmond, under the latitude
allowed in debate on appropriation
bills, made an impassioned speech
reproaching the majority for not
voting upon the Cuban belligerency
resolution passed by the Senate at
the last session. His remarks had
added importance in view OF the
action of the Democratic caucus last
night, declaring for an aggressive
support of the recognition of Cuban
belligerency. He declared that he
could not be mistaken in his belief
that the American people, without
distinction OF party, sympathized
with the Cuban cause. The triumph
of tyranny in Cuba, he said, would
prove q menace to liberty the world
