A great many Of our patrons were dis
appointed in not getting the EVENING
JOURNAL last evening. Because Of a
very slight accident TO the press we were
delayed almost three hours in publishing
the paper BY that time great many
carriers. that is, boys who carry for
themselves, had left. and they
had not enough interest in their
their customers to come back last even
ing at o'clock and get their usual allow
ance Of papers. Our own carriers who
supply those patrons that have subscribed
directly at this office, delivered their
papers as usual. Our direct subscribers
got their paper as usual, although it was
late.

ing We presume that the opportunity
to exocoriate his ancient political enemy
will be exceedingly tempting to Mr. Hig

have carefully watched the newspapers
for over week now to see what they
would say about Mr.. Bayard's Opera
House speech. TO be sure the Asso-
eiated Press did not give any pub.
LEFTY to it, But the local papers devoted
at least two columns to it and one Of
them, Every Evening, affected to give a
verbatim report Of Il, and we have no
doubt that marked copies OF it were sent
all over the country, If not to England.
Notwithstanding all this all the comment
that has been made outside of this city
could be put into column Of an ordin-
AIRY newspaper. The truth is that Mr..
Bayards speech fell fat. He las evident
" ceased to be an important factor in the
politics Of his country. Ii obviously

the newspapers what MIR. Bavard
says He has lost his power to move
