SPEAKER RANDALL.

Tho election of this gentleman to the
position of Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives by the democratic party
seems to have unnervcd the Tom Scott
people all around. Tho large vote he So
cured in caucus leaves no room for cayil
or doubt.
Our opinion of the Southern Pacific
Railroad and the substituting of tho same
by the general government has never
been crystalized. We have seen the dis
astrous result to the whole country from
these rail road jobs, and it was but a short
time ago that the entire democratic par
ty condemned the whole principle as I'M
republican and unconstitutional. The
Democratic party must bo a party of
principle to succeed, and its success has
been our cherished ambition. Those prin.
ciplcs must be based upon and emanate
from the constitution of our country and
the traditions from its trainers.
Low tariff, gold and silver the legal
tender, anti-National Banks, State Rights
and local government, are the points at
issue for the patriot. Substituting Rail.
roads, granting aid to private corpora
lions, are tho offsprings of radical repub-
licanism, and against which the whole
people turned in 1876 and overwhelming
ly elected Mr.. Tilden President. Let the
democracy be party of principle, not of
expediency, and to that end those who
cherish it most will he gratifed at the
election of Mr.. Randall.

how great minds have differed from
the chief, about the ability of Gen.
Mcclellan
Gen. Mcclellan "ncrer stuck IN the
Wilderness" for he commanded no
federal army at the time the cam
paicns of the Wilderness took place.
Hooker, in 1863, and Grant in 1864,
were the Wilderness federal COM

driven from the lines befurc Richmond
in 1862, showed him to be a great
General, and it should be remember.
ed that the gaining of 4 victory de.
ponds upon the soldiers and the
General, while q successful retrca
depends upon the General alone.
The campaign of 1862 was a bril-

, Pope had been routed at Manassas
, Mcclellan made a most brilliant ant
splendid, as to results, battle at An

The Democrats will elect Mcclellan
and in so doing they will endorse hi
standing as q soldier and character a

have attempted to belittle and ira
duce. Democratic papers shou|'
therefore not echo these dennncia

Something in the bed.

Judge Pitman has a habit of slip
ping his watch under his pillow
when he goes to bed. The other
night somehow it slipped down, and
as the Judge was restless, it grad.
ualIy worked its way downward to-
ward the foot of the bed. After q
bit, while he was lying awake, his
foot touched it, and it felt very cold;
he was surprised and scared, and
jumping from bed, he said:
BY gracious, Maria there's a
toad, or snake, or something under
the covers. | touched 1t with my
foot.
Mrs. Pitman gave q loud scream,
and was out on the floor in an in
slant.
sNow don't go hollering and wake
up the neighbours said the Judge.
You go and get me broom or
something, and we'll fix the thing
mighty quick
Mrs. Pltman got the broom and
gave it to the Judge, with the re-
mark that she felt as if snakes were
creeping all up and down her legs
and back.
20, nonsense, Maria Now you
turn down the covers slowly, while
[ hold the broom and bang it. Put
bucket of water along side the bed,
too, SOS we can shove it in and
drown it,
Mrs. Pitman fixed the bucket and
gently removed the covers. The
Judge held the broom uplifted, and
as soon as the black ribbon of the
watch was revealed, he cracked
away three or four times with his
broom. Then he pushed the thing
off into the bucket. Then they took
the bucket to the light to investi-
gate the matter. When the Judge
saw what it was, he said:
Il might've known that. Just
like you women to GO screeching
and fussing about nothing. Who's
going to pay me for that watch {
It's utterly ruined
1T was you that made the fuss,
not me- said Mrs. Pitman. you
needn't try to put the blame off on
me-
%, hush up, and go to bed. I'm
tired of hearing you blather. Blame
me if | amt going to get a divorce
and emigrate.'
And the Judge turned in and
growled at Maria until he fell asleep.

To Prevent Moths.

IF a small piece of paper or linen,
moistened with turpenine, be placed
in wardrobes and drawers two or
three times year it will efectually
prevent any damage from moths.
When furs are packed away in
Spring, they should be beaten well
with q small rattan, in order to die
lodge any eggs of the moth; altar
ward brush thoroughly and sew up
carefully in linen pillowcase; over
all, pin newspapers, leaving no crew
ice where an insect could insinuate
itself. 1t would be well to paste the
edges of the papers together. If
well done you need not fear for the
most valuable furs.
