% large tent erected in the lncosure were
grouped within a roped space all the uten-
sis and apparatus constituting the cargo Of
the voyage. These were scrutlnIZed care
fully by the visitors, and enabled them to
form a distinct idea OF the attention which
has been paid to all the emergencies likely
10 arise during the trip. Suspended from

the balloon appearing ia the moonlight more
like heap Of sand During the after
noon the sack had been partly filled with
common air, forced in to test the permea-
bility Of the cloth covering The test was
declared to be very satisfactory. During

I fireworks attached were sent up, and
/ greeted with great enthusiasm BY the
crowd, who had followed Josh Billings

ARTFUL DODGERS.

The oiicc-seoking portion Of the late
Republican party were very careful not
to say word about the tariff in their
iuyer ticket re-olutions-Dot word
The party they represent has loaded the
people down with enormous and most OPP
prossive tariff taxos-the most oGiou- form
# monopoly and the Guyer-ticket folks
propose to keep ON depressing the people
in the same way. They do not ask for any
modification Of the odious and oppressive
tariff tax
They lodged the Credit Mobilicr bust
ness entirely-sa not a word in condem-
nation Of Republican Congress which
helped the Credit Mobiler thieves to steal
thirty millions Of the people money.
They lodged the oppressive monopoly
Of the national banking law, and asked for
no modification of that system by which
fortunes are squeezed out Of the hard earn
ngs Of the farmers
Mr. Lynde, high protective tariff bank
err reported the resolutions Why
shouldn't the Guyer high tariff banker
dodge these questions?
The convention knew that Mr.. John B.
IIawley is drawing SG2j a month from
the people, pockets for no service what
ever They know that he is drawing the
forward pay at the increased rate when he
agreed to serve the people at the old rate.
Mr.. Hawley, by accepting the monthly in
stallments, under the salary bill, became a
salary -grabber' He is not sworn in as
a congressman, has not rendered service
as a consideration, and was elected to serve
this district at $1,000 a year The same
is true Of all the other congressman in this
State. If Mr. Hawley thinks the salary
grab infamous why does he avail himself
Of its benefits, and pocket the forward anC
increased pay?
The Guyer convention knew that Haw
ley was solely responsible for giving away
10 rich railroad company half a million
dollars worth Of the peoples lands
And yet they had no word Of condemna
ton for him They did not dare to oiTe
a resolution commencing him or Grant
but they really Endorsed them by their 81
lence
Their platform is trick Every live is
lsue in it is stolen from the farmers.
