Outside tho District OF COLUMBIA thefo ~
fermentation going on throughout this vast
country of ours, which l hope will result in
sending tse Ices to the bottom and purify

in this land of equal rights, where men and
women have equal political privileges
both can talk. And you may be sure they
are using that proud prerogative to the full,
Not drop of the fermentation has come
us, so far but towards night and tomorrow,
and next dsy, the overlooking of the greet
cauldron will DO pouring into the capital in
the shape of dispatches. think no human
being can tell the result, or even Approximate
ii. In this canvass we have one consolation,
whoever is elected,we will have respectable
government, and outwardly at least, clean
and decent administration. The white

and d, corum, and the departments lacss
where "a lady can work without the risk Of
Insult and contumIy. Iuis has been the

nothing else, President Hayes deserves The
thanks of the country. And to know the
difficulties of his TASK one must know tbe
