have «x-Spreker Bamuel J Randall stamp

calculated to quiet the empiétons of the

The Democrats of New York held a
largely attended meeting last night to
ratify the nomination of Cleveland and
Thurman. Speaker Carlllas and Governor
H.U were among tbe speakers. Congress
man Perry Belmont, in a letter of regret,
wove an Ingenious fallacy In regard to free
trade, in which be repudiated the actual
principles of the Mills bill, as well as the
pronounced prosllvl'les of President Cleve*
land. He laid; "The Mills bill simply
lowers the rate of t riff taxation from
about 47 per cent, to about 43 per cent. It
is not a tree trade measure, bat Is a step
directly in accord with the growing needs
ofonr fiscal and commercial system,
namely, n reduction of the surplas and an
Inc ret B3 in our foreign trade."
