PRESIDENT HAYES SPEECH TO TIE CIT
IzENS OF WORCESTER.
TEE PARTY HAVE RETURNED TO WASHINGTON.

The following is the President
speech delivered on his arrival at Wor-
cester, August, Gath:
Fellow Citi-cns of Worcester:
need not say to you that this is q
great reception and very gratifying to
us. The Government of the United
States is OF interest TO you all. and it
is because of your interest in that
Government that you have turned out
as you have, in such vast numbers, to
welcome those TO whose charge the
administration of this Government
has been committed. We understand
perfectly well that this is no personal
compliment to US. You entertain very
decided opinions as to the course the
Government shall pursue and as to
who shall administer it. There is a
wide diversity of opinion AS to the
precise measures Of Government. But
there are few things I have acquired
a habit of saying since our trip
through New England began, upon
which the whole people of the United
States are substantially agreed.
[Cheers.l We are all agreed that here
after and for all time the territory Of
the United States, embracing as it does
the best part of this continent, extend
ing from the torrid zone Oh the south
to the frigid zone on the north, from
the Atlantic on the east to the Pacific
on the west, is forever to belong to
one Nation, aud to one Nation only.
We are all agreed that all the States of
the Union shall have equal rights !;
that every State is equal to each other:
shat all citizens of the United States,
black 81 white, native-bor or natural
lied, capitalists or laborers, shall have
equal rights before the law: and over
all the Government by the people shall
continue to be forever supreme. These
are the general ideas entertained about
the Government. There are differ
ences as to the methods, and whatever
errors may be made you will remem-
Der that il is our purpose honestly to
pursue a course in support of the prop
ositions have sifered you. And now
having already spoken too long, l
must give way to one who, although
he has not always been with us in sup
port of the ideas have given you. is
now as sound as you and |. | now
have the pleasure of introducing
Judge Key, of Tennessee.
Mr.. Key responded in a short speech
and was followed by General Devens
aud Secretary Evarts. The party were
then driven to the residence of Sena-
tor Hoar, where were gathered the
members of the city government and
large number of invited guests. AT
ter the reception at Senator Hoar's,
the visitors were escorted to the depot
the streets being ablaze with red green
and blue fire, Rsman candles and Chi
nese lanterns.

Secretary Sherman's Definition Of Resumption.

Although the question of resump
| ton has been discussed for years
there is still great confusion oil
! thought in regard to il. Quite large
part Of the people have an idea that il
rency and the substitution therefor OF
coin. A still larger number believe
that it means the retirement of all the
greenbacks.
Secretary Sherman has few words
on this subject in his speech recently
made at Mansfield, Ohio, which ought
to dissipate some of these erroneous
notions. lie says:
"What do we mean by the phrase a
resumption of specie payments ? Is
it that we are to have no paper money
in circulation? If so, am as much
opposed to it as any Of you. Is it
that we are to retire our greenback
circulation? If so, am opposed to
it, and have often said so. What |
mean by specie payments is simply
that paper money ought to be made
equal to coin, so that when you re-
celve it it will buy as much beef, corn
or clothing as coin. A return to spe-
is to be no paper incirculation, nor
that greenbacks are to be retired, bur
that paper money shall be made equal
to COIN"
According to Secretary Sherman's
Interpretation. aud he is doubtless cor
rect, the resumption act contemplate
that, in addition to gold, silver and
bank notes, the forms of circulation
we had before the passage of the Lee
gal Tender act, we shall have perma-
neutly not less than $300,000,000 of
Government paper, lawful money
which we did not then have. Our
joint coin and paper legal tenders
will be about three times the amount
of lawful money used in antewar
times, affording vastly broader basis
for banking, and our bank circulation
also will be much larger than then.

Unsafe Banking.

The Public raises note of warning
in regard to the New York city banks.
II says they must have at this time
loans on stocks and bonds exceeding
in amount $66,00o,000 and probably
$4,000, 900, while other banks doubt
less have similar loans in their usual
proportion. From $4,000, 600 to 1885,
o1o. 900, about the entire reserve de-
posted in New York by banks from
a. parts of the country, must now be
red up in loans on stocks which no
body but the speculator will buy, and
hich may fall ten or twenty per cent.

A Big Game.

They have in Philadelphia widow
known as Mrs. Wallingford who is
creating no little sensation. She is ac-
cnsed of levying blackmail to the ex-
tent of 81 900 upon a prominent citi-
zen of that place, and one of her claims
to notoriety is the fact that she at one
time completely captivated the heart
Of Sam Tilden while at Cape May.
where she created quite Juror. She
has q claim against the Government
for $780, 600, for property destroyed
during the rebellion, near Dalton,
Georgia. Had Governor Tilden been
made President, undoubtedly the
dashing widow of Cape May would
have presented herself at the White
House, desired to renew the acquaint-
ancc made in the waves Of 1875, aud
solicited his aid in pushing through
the Court of Claims her little bill of
nearly a million. Mrs. Wsllingford
has letters and documents from Gen.
eral James d. Steadman, md nearly
every officer Of his command, attest
ing to the genuineness of her claim.

Another Horrible Massacre.

NEW YORK, August 24.-The Turk
Ish Minister Of Foreign Affairs informs
his diplomatic agents abroad that the
Russians on catering Eski Saghra dis
armed the Mussulnen aud employed
Mokdars to fetch Mussulmen out of
their houses, and they were Inassa
cred; 1,l00 were put TO death. The
Russians entered Lovatz. and fifteen
women and children, fleeing from the
invaders were killed. The others, TO
escape outrage or death, had to aban-
don everything, even their children.
Every Mussulmau's house in LOyatZ
was pillaged. After the recapturs of
the town the Russians carried devas-
tation and carnage into the neignbor-
ing districts. The Russians drove out
all Mussulmen inhabitants of the viii
lage of Herste, and burned all tue men
and some of the women. Only one
woman escaped. Seventy Mussulmen
and Imaum of Yuklum were shut up
in barn, which was fired. Forty-four
other Mussulmen were massacred, and
all Mussulmen women outraged. Eight
young girls who resisted were killed
aud two burned with the men. A
greater part of the other women and
children were taken outside the village
and with their children by their sides
were slaughtered. Twenty women
and children who escaped the massa-
ere were rescued by the Ottoman
troops. An English military attache
himself witnessed all these horrors.
The Russians disarmed the Mussul- |
men of Eski, Saghra, Kezeulik, and |
the neighboring villages, and distrib-
uted the arms among the Bulgarians,
who drove down 400 Mussulmen to the
river Tundga and massacred them. At
Eski Saghra the Bulgarians continue
the massacre of the Mussulman popu-
lation. The atrocities committed by
the Cossacks and Bulgarians continue
The women and children who had
sought refuge in Khirter-Keni were

and children wounded. The Bulgari-
ans put to fire and sword the Mussel.

others after having carried Off the wo-
men and girls, whom they outraged,
killed and mutilated horribly. One
woman and her two sons were the on

The Communists.

The New York World sums up the
platform of the Communists as: GA
loaf fer every loafer, with every priv
ilege of loafing" These worthless held
meeting in Chicago recently. There
were only thousand present, but
they had the impudence to call it 80
mass meeting of the workingmcn."
The Chicago papers say that there
was hardly man in the crowd who
ever did an honest days work in his
life. The speakers were brawling,
lazy demagogues, and the crowd was
composed mostly of Poles, Bohemi-
ans and Germans. They adopted a
platform, which the Tribune sums up
as follows:
The whole scheme of the Commun-
lists, as we gather from the separate
planks of their platform, is the aboli-
ton of property. They are deter
mined that no man shall own any,
thing. They want the Government to
take possession of everything-the
banks, railroads, telegraph lines, all
routes of transportation and commu-
nication, every wagon, dray, stage
coach, all means Of locomotion in cit
les and towns. AS the Government
cannot buy them, they would have it
confsicate them. In other words,
they have a vague, Informed idea
that in some way this whole nation of
can be thrown into one gil
gantic corporation, with the power to
own all property, furnish labor, man
age private affairs, take care OF all |
idlers and loafers, and give every one
the opportunity to live without labor |
if he is SO disposed. They are striv-
ing to establish condition of society |
that would strike at self-respect and |
individual independence, remove
every incentive to progress, suppress
every ambition and aspiration, destroy |
all human industry, remove all i'm
provements and inventions by which |
more work can be done and more |
