POOR RICHARDSON,

of. His harangue on the tariff, Illus
trated by 3 charcoal chart, is too flat
aud insipid 10 invite the attention OF
the dulIest enthusiast tor free trade.
If ne purposes to continue klndergar-
ten instruction on the tariff he should
coniine MS efforts to the backwoods,
a "a Adolphus Ananias Ellis. He has
been reputed 10 hold independent
views on public questions, but the
sporadic utterances delivered To the
few intelligent voters that assembled
to hear him last evening are as famil-
lar as the Mills platitudes of years ago.
He did not say anything new or inde-
pendent. He did not say anything
about the tariff that Is true. He as
sumed 10 state the republican theory
of protection, but, parrot-lIke, he reit-
Grated what Warner, Of New York,
tried to palm off as logic in Hartman's
hall q few weeks ago.
Mr.. Richardson left painful impr es-
sion on his audience. The subject was
too big for him. lie had to use chart
70 keep his bearings. His hearers will
be obliged to purchase one of the same
kind of charts to recall "where he was
at" at different times during his ramb-
ling TRADE against republicans and
protection. 1t was expected that Mr..
Richardson would make a dignified
and logical address. He made mess
OF 10.
IL was case OF baying at the moon,
and the bsyer labored under the hallu-
cingtion that the moon is made of
green cheese, and that he could con-
vince his hearers It is. He disappointed
those that expected better things of
him. He hasn't the mental calibre
that his friends report hum to have.
His gibberish about tariff and wages is
very nauseous. IL IS apparent that he
talks through his nat. The committee
having MIN IN charge Will be wise TO
put bag over his head and lead MIN
back into the country. He is not
trained for exhibition in the city.
WITH all the safeguards thrown
about the payment OF commercial
paper It appears that bold and clever
rsscsl - able TO get the better of lynx
/ eyed bank officials. The forgery per-
/ petrated by young Mitchell and his de-
I ception az the Fourth National bank
proves that the most approved safe
guards are occasionally broken
l through.
