OF trouble. This is not the least OF tn
benefits which his nomination has dom
and Is doing for the cause Of Democracy
for he has been making miserable the
Mugwump free traders who had looked fo
some crumbs Of encouragement In this dis

RANDALL was elected from a Republican
district through tho connivance OF the Re,
