ginia's greatness in the past, then urged
Virginians to the importance of devel-
oping their agricultural wealth. He
dwelt, too, on the unity of feeling that
he thought should exist throughout all
the States of the VnieB, ) .
MR.. SHERMAN.
The President next introduced Mr..
Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury,
Mr.. Sherman said that he was born In
that part of Ohio settled by the Revolu-
tionary soldiers of Virginia. These the
descendants of Yirg mia siers were all far
mers, he said, and then paid a tribute
to the agricultural classes. In the val
ley OF the Sciioto, which the speaker
thought was the most productive aud
valuable in his State, many Of the men
and beautiful women bear the names of
we'll known and cherished families OF
the Old dominion.
MI. Sherman told his hearers that he
would not tell them W hat he knew about
farming, for if he attempted an ything OF
the sort they would soon discover his
ignorance. Laughter But he gave
them some acceptable advice.

In introducing the Secretary Of the
Navy, Mr.. Hayes referred to him AS
"now of Indiana, but formerly of CuI-
PEPPER" [Great applause Mr.. Thomp-
son alluded eloquently to his respect
and admiration for tine people of his

watched with delight the honor and
glory of the Old Dominion. He talked
a good deal about agriculture pursuits,

applause. 'i 7''''s

The message of the President is
confined to statement of the several
matters Of business to come before
Congress at this extra session, and is
therefore brief. The chief points are
the provision to pay for the army and
navy, the funds having been exhaust
ed by the improyidence of the Admin
istration in the early part of the year,
and notably by Secretary Robeson's
operations; appropriations for the ju-
dicial department and arrangements
for participation in the French Expo
sition and the Scandinavian Prison
Congress. The estimates for the War
Department are $42, 436,76 for the
Navy Department, $2O,SS6,127; and
for the United States Courts, $780,
535. The President urges that the
army appropriation be made without
entering into the question Of an in
crease or reduction OF the force, which
can be subsequently considered and
this recommendation will doubtless be
followed, so far as furnishing the
means for the payment of immediate
obligations to officers and men. The
President defers any expression of his
own views on political matters until
the opening Of the regular session.

Hayes wants to become Demo,
crat. He has been trying since he
reached the White. House to sugar
coat his fraud. He has been casting
out the devils of his party. He has
congratulated himself like the ssPhari-
see that he is rot as the Chambers,
the Blalnes, J. Madison Wells, and
other publicans who elected him. He
has laid the ak at the root OF the tree.
He has kept the faith that he made
with Democratic leaders before his in
auguration. He has repulsed the
Camerons, the Wades and other Sad
ducees of his party who do not be-
lieve in a hereafter. He has slain the
Philstines, hip and thigh. He has
predicted woe unto the scribes who
oppose him. And now he asks what
more he shall do to be called Demo
crat. Like the rich man who sought
how he might obtain eternal life, one
thing he lackest. Let him 60 his
way, resign his Office, do all that he
can to restore it to it's rightful owner,
enpape in the contest for the over.

for this to last. No party, even to
