ties Only in Name.
The Randall Tariff Club, of Pitts
burgh, passed through this city over the
Baltimore & Ohio road at IL $50 o'clock
last night, en- route for st. Louis, to at
tend the National Democratic Conven-
ton. The event was made the occasion
for considerable disorder at the passen.
ger station, where several OF the tourists
gave utterance to some thick-voiced en-
thusiasm. The pilgrimage was made
in comparatively good style. There
were about two hundred members
OF the club in the party, travelinginthree
sleeping coaches. These were attached
to the regular Cincinnati express, max
ing the train so long and heavy that
helpers had to be used in coming over
some OF the grades between here and
Pittsburgh. On the sides Of one OF the
coaches were long streamers bearing the
words: Randall Tariff Club OF Pitts
burg.h"
Each Democratic breast was adorned
on the outside with a gold-fringed white
satin badge, and a majority OF the breasts
were thrilling with the combined effects
OF blind devotion to figure head, va
rious grades ofliquorand a fast ride over
the dizzy curves OF the Hempfield diyi-
sion. This combination was productive
OF noise.
The Randall Club was named after
the Hon. Samuel ]. Randall. The gang
that went drought last night was howl
ing Justify for Cleveland. The query,
What's in name? is n very pertinent
one in connection with this expedition.
As they say in the German: randall
ist NIGHT Cleveland, und Cleveland list
NIGHT Randall; Randall list das gegen-
theil Won Cleveland" But a little mat
ter. like that makes no difference to the
average Democratic ward worker, and
OF such were the majority of the faith
full who whooped things up at this point
short time last night.
They commenced to yell when
they were coming down Sixteenth
street, and the crowd OF about 100 that
had gathered at the station, made up
largely OF local politicians, young men
about town and gamblers, answered
back. AS the train rolled in, those on
board and those on the platforms shout
ed in unison for Cleveland. Steve
Foley appeared in the doorway Of
one OF the cars and waved greeting,
The crowd surged towards that brilliant
young luminary. He wore linen dus-
ter open at the front, and showing his
beautiful throat minus a collar. He had
cinders in his hair, and his voice was a
little of, but he did not mind these little
things, and constituting himself chair
man, called out Tim o Leary for a speech.
Tim beamed as usual, and with his nc
customed JUNCTION, said nothing Of any
importance and called for cheers for
Cleveland, which were given.
Foley then said he would introduce
John Gearing, a man who worked in the
mill every day and who was off for st.
Louis to boom Cleveland.
A voice from the Gar-"Come Off the
twig, Steve; don't cali out Gearing; he's
protectionist."
The crowd on the platform caught
this, and howled for Gearing, but us m
able bodied committee was engaging his
attention at the iCe-cooler, he failed to
appear.
Foley Mt this point took occasion to
say: "Fellow citizens; we are the Ran
dali Club OF Pittsburgh, and we have
reformed-no, mean we have resolved
to support Cleveland, Thurman and
and Tariff Reform! Now, then, three
cheers for that"
Justice can not be done TO the manner
in which these few remarks were made.
There was a peculiar hoarseness about
the delivery that recalled to every mind
past campaigns with their enforced en-
thusiasm and and attendant headaches.
At the conclusion of Foley's elo-
quent remarks he introduced
John Sullivan, who said the
Republican State OF Allegheny had 1000
Democrats who never scratched, and he
was one of 'em. There was more cheer
ing for Cleveland and Thurman, and
that Democratic Will-o'-the-Wisp, Tariff
Reform, and this was kept up as the
train pulled out.
