a Spring Opening.
Copyright 1884.

We have none. No chance for
it. If we would keep our choice
things put away until given time,
and then offer them to the public
all at once, we should be foiled, for
people come in the winter when the
frost is in the air, and snow and ice
hold the earth in bondage, while our
preparations are just forming for
the spring campaign, and demand
the new goods. cit would be ungra-
cious to refuse; and SO, perforce, we
cannot have a Spring Opening.
But we can open with a spring, and
as we write, while hardly a bursting
bud is to be seen upon the trees,
the spring trade IS springing on us
with refreshing rush. Times dull,
you say? Not to the bold dealer
that takes no counsel of fear. And
Oak Hall is just such. Already the
opening spring tells Of abundant
sales just ahead.

Early Pinks.

The sort that we cultivate at Oak
Hall are well-dressed young men.
In pursuit Of our great mission Of
making young men as charming as
eariy5 pinlSs, we have arranged a set
fsizesdenominated Young Cent" I"
which cover the larger youths and
smaller mems sizes. Special pat
terms were prepared for this class of
stock, and into it we introduce all
possible style Of cut, material and
make. The prices range from 81. so
to $4,000. Elsewhere in our stock
are choice materials beautifully
made, but nowhere else in Oak
Hall is there such a concentration
of superiority. The generation of
men for whom these goods were
made cannot recall the time when
there was no Oak Hall in Philadel-
Phia. And yet there is no proof of
the perennial youth Of Oak Hall
equal to that which is found in this
particular stock.

1t requires far more executive tact and
capacity to administer the affairs of the
government now than it did half CEN
tury ago. because the resources and
responsibilities of the country have been
augmented scores of times. Under the
old democratic regime there was but little
surplus in the treasury to steal, and
democratic FOUNDERS were forced to re-
plensh their depleted eSchequers by
peculations through printing contracts, as

No wonder that the democratic managers

205, ,355 votes were cast ut the election,
Hancock receiving 123,0l5, Garfield
sl,730. and Weaver $40. The vote cast
in the city this year will, allowing for
about the same percentage of absenteeism
rs in 1880 approximate pretty closely
225,000. On the basis of 1880 the republi.
cans should have about 10000 and the
democrats $4,000 Of these votes but in
view of the probable heavy Butler vote,
the detection of democratic workingmen to
Blaine and Of the porfectionist republi-

As an Offset to the abuse and vitup' istion
Of some democratic newspapers in thI south
ern states, and especially In Georgia (my native
state), beg leave to quote language uttered
by The late lamented Senator j. H. Hlll of
Georgia, 10 the Rev. John Calvin Johnson only
Il few days prior to Mr. Hills death. "If re-
publican must be elected president ] had
sooner see Blaine than any man in the party.
He is an able statesman and Il true and honest
man, who would do right by the south and
shape his administration on n high plane"
This quotation is taken from the Atlanta ga }
Constitution, one of the ablcst and most widely
circulated democratic papers in the south. lis
correspondent writing from Athens, Ga, says
in the same article, that "Blalne Is indeared
to our people by his kindness to the lamented
Hill" The memory of Benjamin IL. Hill is
sacred TO the hearts of the people of Georgia

his great heart beat for the good Of his coun.
