The Case Against Hayes in Nut
Shell.

She'll.
From Speech by the Hon. 5. j. Randall in Pha-
dephia.
What is the reason Of the prostration of
business throughout the country Why
is the mechanic idle and the workshop
closed? What party has produced this re-
suit? You and | understand this question
rs well as the ablest orator. 1t has result
ed from the maladmnjst inflicted
upon us by the republican party. and it
must be held responsible for its mistleeds
1t IS not an answer to me to shake the
bloody shirt in my face and talk about Il
war that happened ten years ago. | have
been in the south. The southern people
are anxious Tor peace and harmony. AS
well might you expect a man with one
side paralyzed to walk easily as to expect
the people to walk onward to prosperity
if the south is destitute; if the business OF
onehalf Of the country is paral yzed and
its people Impoverished. When you meet
a republican citizen who is idle, ask him
why it is Tell him it is because of the
outrageous expenditures of taxes drawn
from Frustrated people. The reduction
of the late democratic house amounted to
thirty millions of dollars, and | tell you
the governments expenditures could have
been reduced twenty millions more with
out any injury, and they will be reduced
if the house has its way during its two
years OF service, eighty millions of dollars.
Mr.. Garfield of Ohio said on the floor of
the house that the democratic party could
make reductions in manner they, the re-
pubicans. could not, because, when they
| turned around and reduced expenses, they
trod on some friends toes. The remedy is
to elect Il democratic president whose past
| experience will enable him to grapple
with such subjects. Samuel j. Tilden re-
duced the expenses OF the state of New
York S., 100000 in a single year, and
guarantee that i. he is elected president,
with Il cooperative house and senate. he
! will save to the taxpayers two hundred
millions in the four years Of his admins
tration. This meeting tonight convinces
me that the same spirit pervades this state
as in Ohio and Indiana, and information
have from both states leads me 10 think
they will be carried by the democracy, de.

Mr. WiiliSton GrinnelI Of Washington, with
several others, were sailing on Medomack Lake
Il day or two since, and while making landing
saw Il serpent about ten feet in length lying in
the water close in shore. The occupants Of the
boat all skedaddled from the monster except
Mr.. Grnnell, who went ior the serpent with
an oar, and soon rendered his Snaileship h0rs

or, and has fin running from head to tail along
the back. The head is very long, and the teeth
this monster carries plainly show that much
execution could be done with them. Some
people are claiming this to be the veritable sen
serpent
one paper ntimates that people who
go on sailing excursions frequently see
strange visions rs the result OF an exalted

ming the clouds DISPERSED the stars sbOne out with
a cold glitter, and the damp snow froze, making al
