Around on an East wheeling
Board Pile to the Amusement
of q Crowd of .'Kids."
The sound of couple OF drums in the
neiohborhood of the East Wheeling
Greenback pole last night, attracted the
attention OF REGISTER reporter while
on his wanderings in that vicinity. Ar
irving at the scene Of the uproar it was
discovered that the celebrated DIR. j. II.
Randall, the Ohio Greenback orator WAS
TO swing himself to the breeze in due
course OF time. From appearances
one would have judged that all OF the
children of the neighborhood had gath
cred together for the purpose oil irollc.
"Onlv this and nothing more But
soon the Doctor made his appearance,
and was escorted 10 the front of the
stand by Robt. Marshall, ESQ, who in.
troJucel the great demolisher oil the
old parties in an appropriate manner.
After making his little bow, he pro-
ceeded with some explanation, to hustle
off his coat, and then came collar and
necktie. He rolled up his sleeves and
stated that he was ready for the Tray.
Bnt before commencing 10 discuss the
..yreat financial and other living ques-
tons" OF the day, he would ask the
numerous boys and little ones" who
constituted the crowd, with the excep-
tion of twelve men, by actual count, to
keep perfect quiet anu good order,
"a he didR't like Ito waste his sweet.
ness on the desert all" when he had so
much speaking to do during the coming
campaign.
Finally the saving air process began
As he had said the night before he dldn I
come there to abuse anybody, be he
Democrat or Republican. and before iin-
ishing that line OF thought he
rrappled and wrestled with the great
money question. The greatest OF all
questions, and one that lies at the
foundation OF all questions" He grew
elounent over the great aui infamous
bondhoders and bankers; ari pictured
in glowing words how the poor man was
compelled to live in this and other coun.
tries. Just as he was in the m.iat OF a
beautiful descriptive scene the always
present dog made the usual Interrupt
ton, and lively fight ensued to the
amusement OF the "kid show.
lie soon gathered himself up
again and continued upon the sub.
iects OF "scarce money ''store orders, I.
.,uose horrible credit devices which
keep the noses OF the poor to the grind
stone OF want and necessity" cheap
labor" "metal money" "labor robbery
caused bv few OF the rich vino lue
this land" and:other topics OF a similar
nature. He challenged any bondhol l.
er, banker, political economist to come
10 the stand and deny some oi his state
mcnts, but horribile Jici", none appeared.
Then his plan, the great Weaver Green
back plan, oil saving this country and
delivering the poor and oppressed out
oil bondage was next expounded.
Labor pays all the taxes" he said,
and he proceeded to show in his mind
how the poor man paid all the taxes
by which this government WAS carried
on.
He came to the candidates Tor the or
fees Of President and Vice President.
To Hon. VIM. II. English, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Wee President, he
wished principally to pay his respects,
and he did so by rehashingthe stuil first
published in the Cincinnati tOmmcrcini
and aitcrwatd reurintcd i'll other Radi-
cal party organs.
Weaver, his great high idol and apps
tie, he Landed to the skies. tie was the
representative OF the labor principles, OF
modern civilization, &c. He repeated
what he said the night before. that he
L., Ia. at l,s-
bate any of the representatives, oi either
party lie was ready 10 debate lilo
solicallv" and in a gentle manner with
anv of them. He had totally routed
ami squelchpd them in Alabama and
Maine, and was ready 10 do 1t
here. lie said that ii any Of
them would accept his challenge
and meet him on the platform ana
would treat them gently he would do
the same, but ii men treated him dirty,
che would treat them dirty in return.
That was the kind OF animal he was.
I'm conclusion he advised all to think OF
these great serious ami financial lurS-
tons oi the day. ave are going TO Win,
and il not this time, then IN he near
hereafter. We are gaiaing little by lit
tie, and the Presidency will soon be
reached, and whcn ii is ours, what Il

Alter returning thanks, &c., Bob Mar

cheers Tor Weaver and Randall. Bob
then stated unless Glen. WOodlord, the
great Radical mogul of New York, who
will he here on Saturday night, would
accept the doctors challenge for a Joint
tussel upon the living issues, &c., he,
the doctor, would deliver himself to the
