Cipher Tilden will be investigated soon.
Then Won will hear the democratic or
gans" howl!-Freeport Herald.
Oh no, Mr.. Donohue. By all means In
vestigate that cipher business, only DO not
stop with Tildeu, but find out what tele-
grams were sent by republicans, what bar
gain was made with Hayes, make John
Sherman either own up or deny writing
the jerks letter. Make all this kind o.
business plain, fasten it where it belongs
and consign all those connected with the
great fraud of 1876 to everlasting political
disgrace. If Elden be guilty enroll his
name along side the names Of Hayes, Sher
man, Wells, Anderson, and Morton. Dem
ocratic journals will not howl. See to j
that you do not,

Speaker Randall n Large Owner Of West vir-
ginin Land,

1t seems that Speaker Randall is one Of the
largest land owners in the United States, " .
correspondent of the World Is not mistaken
Writing about the title OF the West Virginia
land sold in that city few days ago, he says:
"Mr. Swami, a Massachusetts, capitalist, lent
large sums Of money to Virginia during tho
revolutionary war. He received in liquidation
Of the States indebtedness TO him great land
grant, which he located In Southwestern Vir-
gins aud Eastern kentucky. These lands lio
partly within the boundaries Of Mcdowell
County, and of the original survey all that
now remains in the State Of West Virginia Is
an estate of ,3DOOO0 acres, belonging not to
an obscure and unknown person such as the
vCndee in the late titular sale in New York,
who only acquired his assumed title In April,
of this present year, but to no less distin-
guished = gentleman than Samuel J. Randall,
the Speaker of the present House Of Represon-
tatiycs."
