CESS NEXT YEAR.
Mr.. Randall did not come down town very early

President next year they must not ignore or over
look the demands Of the business men. Mr.. BOYLE
holds that the road 10 democratic success III 1881 is
the election OF Randall as Speaker.

OF Randa'l is Mr. John r. Mclean. editor OF the
