The question involved was the use of public
money in the pa> ment of high premiums on
a debt not yet due.
I am accused of over-caution. In doing
be a crime in au executive officer, then I am
guilty. The ba ks chosen iu tiiis way for
this urpose are alluded to in the pluitorm
of tlie Kepu lican parly "us pet banks.”

th t the amount of deposits nt that time
we-c $4,000,000 !»■• than th* maximum of the
preceding urne months; at this date the
amount of deposit is still less. This decrease
was nwiog to the volume y action of deposi
tories, some of which have, of their owu ac
cord, paid bock u l ol their deposits and
ceased to be depositories. The Merchant*
National II nk ol Ne York was 'he first to
do this, it hud $11,000,000, which it repaid
on Feb. 17th lust; and iook back iu pledged
bonds. Eight other banks hare followed its
example and the aggregate of deposits
thus surrendered sin
One bank, the
and its deposit of $440,000 was at once
repaid. Ten other banks have during tb«
mine time withdrawn bonds and regular de
posits to the amouiit of $2,106,000. Miud,
you, I do not defend the deposit of a large
sum of government mouev in k^nks. It ob
jectionably mingles public with private busi
ness. No one can disapprove of this more
ibau I do, but in our wrong condition of
pillilio revenue, the only choice is a choice
of evils. I maintain that the administration
has chosen the lesser evil. I claim that ou
tlie whole this perp'exing business has becu
well and prudently managed.

Columbus, O., OcL 12th, 1888.—lion.
Patrick A. Collins and others, Committee-
Gentlemen: In obedience to custom, I send
you this formal acceptance of my nomina
tion for the office of Vice-President of the
United States, made by the national conven
tion of the Democratic party at St. I Alois.
When you did me the honor to call upon
me at Columbus and officially notify me of
my nomination, I expressed to you my sense
of obligati m to the convention and that al
though I hud not sought the nomination, I
did not feel at liberty, under the circum
stances, to decline if. I thought then,
ns 1 still think, that whatever 1
could properly do to promote tbe re-election
of President Cleveland, I ought to do. His
administration has been marked by such in-
tegritv, good sense, manly courage sud ex
alted patriotism, that s just appreciation of
these nigh qualities seeui to call for his re-
election.
WILL STRENGTHEN FRATERNITY.
I am also strongly impressed with.the belief
that bis re-election would powerfully tend
to strengthen that feeling of fraternity
among the American people that is so essen
tial to their welfare, peace and happiness,
and td the prosperity of tbe union of our
free institutions.
I approve the platform of tho St. Lctiis
convention, and 1 can’t ton strongly express
my dissent front tbe heretical teachings of
monopolists that the welfure of the people
can be promoted by a system of exorbitant
taxation far in excess of the wants of the
government. The idea that the people can
be enriched by heavy nnd unnecessary taxa
tion, that a man’s condition can be improved
by taxing him on all be wears, ou nil hi i
w'tfc and children wear, ou all his tools and
implements ot industry, is au obvious ab
surdity.
To fill the vaults of the treasury with an
idle sur.dus for which the government has
no legitimate use, and to tiiereby deprive
the people of the currency needed for their
bJMncsa and dally want, and to create pow-
erf til mid dangerous stimulus to extruva-
gince mid cutiuption In expenditures ot the
government, seems to uie to be n policy nt
vnrinnee with every sound principle of gov
ernment aud of politica- c onomy.
THE TWO Mi'THOnK OF KEIItTOTION.
The necessity of reducing taxation to pre
vent su -d accumulations of surplus revenue,
and its consequent depletion of the circulat
ing medium, is so apparent that SO part}
dares to deny it; bat when w- come ••■■n-
aider the modes hy which reduction way be
made we Cud wide antagonism between our
party nnd tbe monopolistic leader* of our
political opponents.
We seek to reduce taxes upon the necessa
ries ol life—oar opponents seek to increase
them; we say, give to the tnatsr* of the peo
ple cheap itnU good clothing, ehtun blankets,
cheap tools and cheap lumber—the repub
lican*, by their plalfoiw and their leaders la
the Senate by llieir proposed bill, say, in
crease taxes on clothing and blankets and
thereby increase their cost, maintain a high
duty on the tools of the farmer and the
mechanic nnd upon the lumber which they
need for the construction of their modest
dwellings, shops and barns, and thereby pre
vent their obtaining these necessaries ut
reasonable prices.
Can uny sensible man doubt as to where
bi should itasd la ihU coBtrcv-wy? Can
any well-informed man be deceived by tha
fulse preteose that a system so ann-asnuahln
and unjust is for the benefit ol laboringmeu?
REDUCING THE COST OF LIVING.
Much is said about the competition sf
American laborers with the pauper labor of
Europe, but does not every man who looks
ajround him see and know that an im
mense majority of laborer* in America
are not engaged in what are called
protected industries? and to those who are
employed in inch industries, is it nut unde
niable that the duties proposed by the dem
ocratic measure, called tne Mills bill, far
exceed the difference between the Americau
and European wages and that, therefore, if
it were admitted that our workingmen can
be protected by tariffs against cheaper labor,
they would be fully protected—aud more
than protected—by that bill? Does not
every w.ll informed man know that the in
crease iu tlie price of home manufactures
pro <uced by high tariff does not go into the
pockets of Uboringmen, but only tends to
■well tbe profit- ot others?
It seem* to me that if the policy of the
Democratic party is plainly presented, all
must understand that we seek to make the
cost of living leu, and, at the same time,
increase the share ol tbe laboringtnsii in the
benefits of national prosperity and growth.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient n r-
van I. ‘ ”

The complimentary reception given nt
Atliuineum in honor of Pr.il. and Mrs. E.
C. Branson and Mr. J. II Lucas and wife,
was a loniplete success in every st me of
the word. A large number of our best
people were present, nnd music, done ng,
refreshments and mirih were the order of
the night. In the suiull hours the engage
ment en ;ed, long to be remembered as
another successof this popular society.
Mr. Choate of Atlanta will address the
Y. M. U. A. this evening. In this connec
tion we take occasion to say that this auto
mation is doing great good among tho
young men oi the city. Daily meetings nt
12 o’clock are held at th lr rooms on Broad
street, and the meetings on r-unday after
noon aro always full of interest. These
Sunday afternoon meet’ngs arc frequently
led hy men of prominence and grcit intel
ligence, nnd attracts a good attendance.
The association will soon commence the
erection of their new building, to cost $10,-
OfiO, when it is exfieited the increased
accommodations will secure a ntnch larger
■ t endance. To this new knilding will he
added a gymnasium and many other at
tractions to induce the wayward to leave
the forhi- den pallia. In thi-4 l.iudalje
nork the young men have the heartfelt
best wishes of our older citizens.
It is said that a site for tbe passergcr
depot for the Covington nnd Macon t- ad
has been fixed on the street just south of
Broad etreet near Janus Murray’* stables,
and that this point is intended aa the ode
for the union depot at Home future day.
It certainly has the merit of nearness to
the hotels aud business houses, being right
in the heart of the city, cot more than a
stone’s throw from tiie Commercial hotel
and ab. ut thirty yards from Ilroad street.
Pmsengers will easily save the hack fare
to and from the depot. All the argument*
aro in favor'of this point, nnd it is i-rob-
nbly tlie spot upon which the future union
depot will hi- hu lt.
Many nev, improvement have be/n
added to the university building on the
campus, and the young men have much
more “emf-'-tsblc quarters than las’ year.
An t (Tort is being made to have odc of the
buildings set aside as a gymnasium for the.
students.
Thn donation parly given for the benefit
of Kev. U ti. Omus was a complete success,,
and the faithful pastor of tho Oconee street
Methodist church is ont in a card of
thauks to the kind-hearted members who.
remembered his wants.

Dr. Peacock responded aud extracted one

which entered the back between th* upper

Dr. Peacock asked who shot him, aud in
response he replied that while ootnutg
through a grove, some one (he knew-
not who) shot at him twicewilh a pistol.
