Extract from the speech Of the
Hon. J. E. Kenna, of W. Va:
My own constituents are for green
backs. Nine-tenths, aye, almost ten
tenths, are earnest in their deter
mination to maintain the good fight
for financial relief. But they will
not turn upon themselves and con
tribute their strength to the power
which has driven them to the wall.
The history of this financial policy
is too well known for anybody to be
deceived by pretense Of fraud. The
Republican party conceived it; the
Republican party gave it creation;
the Republican party nursed it, fos-
tered it, matured it, Rugged it fond
ly to its bosom, until the infant
monster grew to such proportions as
to crush beneath its giant tread the
prosperity OF the American people
The Democratic party has fought it
from its inception; fought it at every
stage of its growth; met it in battle
array on forty occasions in the halls
of Congress and thousand on the
stump.
Sir, the Democratic citizen may
point with satisfaction to the proud
record of his party on the financial
issues. The line has been distinctly
drawn. The Democratic party has
opposed, tho Republican party has
passed, all the measures which have
multiplied the wants and increased
the suffering of the people.

The Grant Movement.
fppn Plattls CapllaI,l

The Grant movement, much toonr
astonishment, exhibits a feebleness
not suspected. 1t willis and is dying
before the early nipping frosts Of
Maine. This is lamentable. Can il
be that all this profound study in
Europe of strong Governments; that
all this @high jinks" with Princes
and potcntates in the royal palaces
abroad; all this wooful expenditure
of money by admiring friends in
Philadelphia and elsewhere are all
for naught? Is it thus that bright
things come to brief conclusions?-
May not the feeble growth be reviy-
ed by tears? Let all the admiring
friends, all the officials, all the
blighted bummers and hungry de-
pendents and defaulters and poor
contractors arrange to weep. Let
tears fall like rain upon the droop-
ing and dying plant. Warm signs
of pity will come to drive away the
killing frost from the sympathetic
people, and the Grant movement may
yet live,
We think it an opening for a right
good, strong, telling prayer. Let
Brother Newman, Right Rev, John
p, who likcncd Grant to our Savior,
and said that upon the third day he
rose again in Philadelphia, partake
of a stiff hot Scotch and lift his pow
erful voice. Now isthc time to prove
the efficacy Of prayer. Let Brother
Newman get that prayer which he
prepared to be delivered at the North
Pole, that was n most eloquent APP
peal to D. P. (bear in mind, Divine
Providence, and as the expedition
never reached the pole, it has doubt.

form Of MASON County.

Whereas, Our legislators, state and M
tional, have refused, or neglected, to enact
such laws as would harmonic the Interests
of capital and labor. And whereas, the eX,
isting laws tend to the pauperization and
hopeless degradation OF the toiling masses
therefore be it ReSOiretl,
l. That we are determined as the soyer-
eign people OF this county, state and M
ton, to use our power at the baIlot'booSi
and by so doing, place men in authority
who will represent the interests oil the
whole people, instead OF that Of class Of
individuals.
9. Therefore, We cordially invite the in.
dustrial classes, whether mechanical, agri-
cultural or commercial, who are alike sui.
iering from vicious legislation, to cooper
ate with us for the enforcement OF the fol
lowing principles.
3. And be it further resolved, That as
laboring men, we ignore party, and meet on
common platform, for the common good,
and laying aside our old party preiudices,
we will concentrate our efforts, until blind
justice, with scales equally poised and
sword upliited, shall stand in high places,

/. And it is further resolved that We are
in favor of Il wise and jUdicious, system OF
legislation, in enacting, and enforcing,
such laws us will bear equally upon capital
and labor, holding IN cheek those grasping
monopolies which are crushing the life out
OF the toiling masses, and sapping the very
foundations OF our free institutions.
g. That we are in favor OF abolishing the
existing useless system OF County Courts,
extending the jurisdiction OF Justices, and
increasing the number Of terms OF the Cir

q. That We are in favor OF abolishing the
present system Of collecting taxes by the
SherifIs, and instead thereof have County
treasury, where taxpayers may puy their
taxes in semi.annual installments, and
thereby save to the people thousands Of
dollars.
Z. That we are in favor Of placing our

Hawley-Hfl-Linder
Washington, Nov. 25.-The repub-
licans here are much interested and
somewhat alarmed at the prospect of
the Connecticut senatorial election.
1t is feared that IL Gen. Hawley is
elected a democrat may be elected to
succeed him in the house, and this
would divide the vote of Connecticut in
case Of an election by the house in 1880
for president. 1t is not absolutely GER
tain that any other candidate would
carry the first district for the repub-
licans.
Friends of Supervising Architect Hill
say that Secretary Sherman will not
remove him on account of the indict-
ment at Chicago.
1t is current talk that Secretary
Sherman will not ask for the appoint
mert of DR.. Linderman, as director of
the mints, but will endeavor to
strengthen himself politically by favor
ing the appointment of well known
western politician not now in Office.
1t is believed however that DR.. Linder-
man will be reappointed. The presi-
dent regards him as faithful and hon.
est officer.

This will greatly reduce the clerical

New York, Nov. ga Halifax dis
patch says: The triumphal arches,

elaborate decorations appear on many
private dwellings. There is magnif-
cent display of bunting throughout the
city and ON vessels in port. The city
Is thronged with people from all parts
of the dominion and the United States.
Special trains are hourly arriving bring
ing many from adjacent towns. Thous-
ands Of people are on the citadel view
ing the scene, and steamers, barges and
boats, gaily dressed with bunting, are
sailing over the harbor. -
As the Sarmatian passed up along
the head Of the wharves the people
congregated there and saluted the vice
royal party with deafening rounds Of
cheers. The demonstration was not
nearly 80 imposing as it would have
been had the feet gone to sea and sailed
In double line as it first intended. The
people are full of enthusiasm, and the
welcome given the marquis and his
royal wife is hearty and sincere.
Lieut.. Gov. Archibald and the prin-
cipal members of the Dominion gov
ernment, and many naval. military and
civil officials were present. The cheer
ing on the landing Of the marquis and
princess was most enthusiastic. The
procession at once formed and moved
through the principal streets to the
province buildings, where the marquis
was sworn as governor-general. An
address of welcome was then presented
by the mayor and corporation, to which
the marquis replied. The procession
Mas then reformed and went by cir
cuitous route to the Admiralty house,
the streets on the whole way being
lined with people, who cheered the
marquis and princess heartily.

PEACE reigns in Warsaw. Messrs.
Blaine and Hamlin, the 'sboss'' leaders
of the republican party, have clipped a
nice olive branch. 1t will be recollect-
ed that the state Of Maine failed to
elect governor, no candidate having
received majority vote. Therefore
the lower house of the legislature will
send to the senate the names of two Of
the candidates. As there is majority
Of democrats and greenbackers In the
house, they viii naturally send up the
names of Garcelon, democrat, and
Smith. greenbacker. The senate has a
republican majority. Now Messrs!
Blaine and Hamlin have arranged for
Mr.. Smith, tha greenbacker, to be
elected as governor, on the TERMS of his
forsaking the soft money party and
standing for election as republican
next year. Good enough for Mr.. Smith,
we should say. Perhaps he could be
pursuaded into a life contract on SINH
lar terms.

two weeks ago, Deputies United States
Marshals Ely and Raymond have been

shiners.p Last night these Officers
went up into Spruce gulch, about six
miles from this city, and made another
haul, getting three men. sssAzs--
A still and worm, with all incidental
attachments, were also captured, I the
whole comprising a complete manufac-
turing apparatus, Including, tanks,
pumps, pipes, etc. All needed facili-
ties were there, in that wild, secluded
spot, for the manufacture of whisky\by
the dozens Of barrels. The names of
two Of the arrested parties have ndb
been given, but one calls himself Far
rem, and those who claim to be ac-
quainted with his antecedents say he is
an escaped penitentiary convict from
Nebraska. The location selected for
the "moonshine" enterprise Is some
distance from all roads and trails, in a
deep timber-chocked caiion-as advan-
tageous spot for the purpose, in its
natural. features, as could have been
selected. One of the 'moonshiners"
attempted to escape by running, when
it was found necessary to bring him to
time by few shots from revolver.
There are yet other "moonshiners"
in the gulches hereabouts, and the
United States officers will not rest un-
til they have bagged the entire baggage.

A VERY readable Pacific railway item
appears in another column. It is a
good idea even IL not true. While
there would be no loss by the proposed
consolidation. there would be great
gain in the reduction of the official and
clerical forces, and this would admit of
lower rates of freight and reduced pas
senger fare. Hence an increased busi-
neas would follow.
