The Republican campaign book has
made IT'S appearance ard is filed with

from beginning 10 end.
Among the numerous other nisstate-
ments 5f the Republican Campaign
book IS he one claiming for that par
ty the orieination Of rural free deliv-
cry cor the benefit Of farming com
munites. There was no rural free
delivery prior to 1892 Postmaster
General Wanamaker had recommend
ed its extension to smaller cities and
villages. lu had not recommended
free delivery TO the farming commm-
tiles.
The first suggestion of that kind
was proposed by the Hon. L. r LiV-
ingston, Democratic member from the
state Of Georgia, when he offered lhs
following amendment to The postoffice
Appropriation bill, on June %. 1899:
Amend line 10 page 3, by striking

Szo0.005 shall be used for experiment. al

Record, 1st session. SIND congress.

That amendment was ruled out on
a point of order, and o her similar
amendments offered by Democrats met
the same fate

ccedlug congress February II, 1893,
an amendment was offered by Hon.
Thomas u; Watson, at that ime a

There has recently been presented

This is the only collection of the kind
in existence and is interesting not only
because such work il practically a lost

Of far distant period OF uncommoniy

There are more than fifty pieces,

OF splendid banqueting vessels. ana

examples of these. Among them
