GRAND BURST OF ELO0UENCE.

Senator Gordon, in rcccn. speech be-
fore the Georgia Legislature, after re-
ferring dcprccatingly to the recent
speeches OF Senators Blaine and Conk-
ling and Secretary Sherman, said:
""ill the masses of the Republican
voters sustain these leaders in such n
policy of oppression? | cannot believe
it. cannot believe that they will be
sustained by that wing of the party which
supported President Hayes i'm his patri-
Ot,v recognition of the fact that the war
was ended, in the withdrawal of :hc
troops and leaving Louisiana and South
Carolina TO exercise the rights of self
government. Applause.
81 wish you also to know, my country
men, that there are hundreds of thou
sands of patriotic men in that party, who
il they saw our danger and the reaction.
airy danger to them, would unite with
you to avert it. There are thousands of
Chistian men in that party who do not
sympathize with these wrongs, whose
hearts bled for our recent Affections, and
whose purses were employed to relieve
Southern suffering. Applause. That
was n spectacle that presented the better
side of these men, and was n spectacle
that touched ard moved the great South
ern heart, and caused it to beat once
more in responsive throbs to the great
heart of the North rs deep calleth unto
deep, loud applause, and Southern
prayers assembled that Jehovah would
not only reward them thousand fold, F,
but that this great Southern woe, made
national by Godlikc sympathy, might be-
come the grave OF ali sectional animosi-
ties.
But now, what revolution! What
a contrast! At the very moment when
Southern suffering and Northern be eff
cence were binding together these es-
trangcd sections, these grave senator's
seek to reopen the wounds that were
healing and to revive the passions that
were dying. At the hour when good
viii WAS being restored, when races were
at peace, when both races alike were en-
joyng the blessings of education and
good government, these leaders bring out
the bloody shirt again, and run it up the
party staff and fly ii rs symbol Of new
civilization and restored Union"

DARKNESS.
BY RUN.

had dream which was not all dream;
The bright gas was extinguished,
And thieves and burglars did wander.
Unmolested, eternally through the streets.
Noisily and fearfully the police CROPPED
Blindly on his rayless beat.
Tramps came and went and came,
And brought more tramps, TO revel
In the city undisturbed.
And men forget their business, and hastened
Home at even to 'scape the tramp,
The assassin, and the muddy crossing.
Good peoples hearts were chilled into
A selfish prayer for gas.
And they did live by kerosene;
The temple, the palaces, huts and
Habitations Of all those that dwelt
Were illumed by kerosene. Old lamps
Were gathered out of the rubbish
In back yards, and cleaned and filed
And fiued and fired, and men were gathered
Around their non-explosives to read
Economy in each others faces;
But hour by hour said non-explosives
Forgot the "non," and iared and faded
And extinguished with a crash,
And all was black. Happy were those
Who dwelt near to the corner
Had tallow candles. The brows of men,
By this economical light, wore a gas-tly
Aspect as by fits their reason flashed
Upon them. Some sat down and tried to
think,
But couldn't, and some did rest their
Elbows on their knees, and look around
With mad disquietude on the dark town,
The monster offspring of hard times and
Economy; and then, with curses. hunted up
two for-five and were consoled.
The rogues did multiply by degrees;
But few of all who won
Precarious livelihood were found In their
Respective homes at night. They'd meet
And plot, and execute, and escape,
All under the broad shield of darkness.
The force was doubled, multiplied, and
Doubled again. and still all crime increased;
Thief with the billy watched thief with the
bundle,
And raised no cry; but with mutual hideous-
ness
Shared and said "WelI DONE" not caring
Who he was upon whose wall darkness
Had placed ladder. The city was (a)void(ed)
By respectable travellers and strangers.
The populous and once powerful had become
A den-a filthy hole of corruption
Hopeless, virtueless, pittiless, pennyless,
biz-less.
A pool of sin, chaos of dead beats.
Trains, passengerless, lay rotting on the
switch,
And tramps carried them off piecemeal.
Or made them their headquarters and slept
Without fear. Order was non est,
And peace was played out.
Destruction was mistress of the situation;
The devil had no need for any more
He owned the whole concern.
Moral-vote the democratic ticket, and there
Will be light.
