no law they will be let alone,
just as other visitors are. Il
they violate tin! law they
must oxpict no mercy for
'hey will get none. They are
coming unasked and upon a
fool' errand. They will litni
the law standing between
then, and their programme,
so far as marching up to the
Capitol and holding a meet
ing upon the steps of that
building is concerned. They
will also find that Washing
I'm and the surrounding
ouutry is a mighty pool

stranded without money or
a plentiful supply of provis

from the (.'oxeyites prop-r,

Deavenport w a s removed
last year and a cDmmittet
appointed to go over his ac
counts. His stealings wen
done through overcharging
the amounts he pa hi out for
supplies or work done for the
department. His bondsmen.
who are perfectly solvent,
have been notified to pay the
amounts mentioned above,
so the government will lose
nothing". Mr. Deavenport is
also liable-to criminal prose

republican defalcation in this

are making to lire the Nu.-tii-crn
heart, against the S jJth
'y declaring that it is a s -c-
tional measure proposed by
I tho South as against t h o
North, is easily met. Tho in
come tax was not bi-.aigh;
forward in the democratic
platform two years ago, but
ivas in tho Weaver platform.
It was of Western i!ot South
ern origin. It was proposed
by the Western people. In our
linancialcondit ion, tiie South
has approved it, and hasurg
od its adoption. It is a just,
proper and wise measureand
those who object to if a. re ac
tuated in large part by self
ish consideration.
TheN. Y. Sun. the Evening
Post and other su.-h papers
are quoted as saying that if
it passes, that X. Y. State
will send a solid republican
delegation to the next Con
gress. Those papers may be
prophets and New York may
do as they predict. But if
not, it will be because the
democrats do pass the In
come tax. The only hope to
prevent republ'ca.n suceesss
is the passage of that act.
Those p a p e r s represent
measures and ideas which
have ahfady wrecked 1 h 1
democratic party North. The
party was wrecked then
months ago. It was wrecked
there before the income tax
was heard of in Congress. It
was wrtcked by those papers
-ind the men and the ideas
that those papers represent
ed; and now it is audacity it
self for them to attempt to
evade the responsibility ol
their action and thiow the
burden on thtr south.
The financial measure of
last su nmer and fall wrecked
the democratic party a 11 1
every (-lection since then ha.
pro veil t ho fact.
The only hope for resusita
tion lies in the passage of tin
income tax.
f-et the work go on. and let
us make one .n ore effort to
save the party from absolute
destruction. News-Observer
Chronicle.
Mr. Cleveland in Iiisletter to
Chauncey F. Black refers to
the duty of the party to per
form its pledges, mentioning
that a failuie to do so in
volves degradation and dis
grace. That is a truism
which the people would like
all to fully appreciate. It is
in connection with the tariff
that the President gives the
ne
idea prominence, saying thatUhipping administered by
atlwl
as we won our victory under
the banner jf tariff refo mso
our " insistence upou that
principle is Mie condition of
our retention of the people'

and the putting aside of
ignoble jealousies when party

at stake. Heroines outpret
