as the Republican party has an
unenviable record for selling their
votes, it therefore follows that the
only prospect of getting the bogus
bills allowed, is by the people elect

Union bills. Strange things have
occurred among the Republican

Saturday evening, notwithstand-
ing the cold weather, number OF
citizens assembled in the rink to
hear the good news from the late
elections. The meeting was ad-
dressed by Mr.. V. c. Burnham,
who made some well timed re-
marks, regarding the corruption OF
the present administrative party,
producing official reports to prove
his statements. Mr.. Kelley's radi-
cal speech, delivered some time ago,
was criticised sharply, and the alb
surd ideas of G. c. Ellsworth, Re-
publican nominee for Congress,
about the people selling or mort
gaging their property, so that they
could go to the centennial, were
clearly exposed. Mr.. j. N. Tiff,
being called upon made a few elo-
quent aud telling remarks.

this tour they will have a general
survey of the grounds and will pass
close to nearly all the buildings,

tinguishing them even if he is nm
assisted by the observations of his
fellow travellers. The train starts
from station near the west end of

of course excepted-the New Jer

in q remote portion Of the enclosure,
covers ten acres, and is not second
to any in interesting exhibits.

the Agricultural building, the tr:
passes row of little edifices built |
by the various States. Of these,
that of Ohio is the most substantial,
New York the handsOmest, COnnec-
icut the smallest, and Massachu-
setts the hOmliest, Il do not mean
the most home like. but the ugIiest.)
