General Butler mid in a speech tbe Alter dav that be expected te be elected, It trie people hare any Bense, The gweral seems-te be In Uie state of lad of the twelfth jarer, who thinks Maeelf the sole depository of the sense et the box. The number of voters who hare exhibited a disposition te vote for General Butler is se small that it is a safe conclusion that there is net much sense among the people, In the general's opinion; an opinion which is strongly shared by his chief, if net his sole organ, the New Yerk Bun. ObvieuBly, however thlss notion opinion te be held or expressed by a candidate for president ; who has te be elected uy we votes ei the people, whetber they have or have net sense.1 General Butler clearly should withdraw his canvass te a mere fitting time, when he and the people are iu such accord in looking at public questions that he can regard them as sensible. It is altogether possi ble that they are without sense new. We are .net disposed te dispute the charge that the people are sometimes senseless, politically. We have enter tained the suspicion ourselves sometimes en the occasions when theylhave differed from us. We have seldom, if ever, however, been left se completely nlone in our own judgment as General Butler and Mr. Dana are new. We havebeen in small minorities, but they have always been big enough at least te see and feel. There is a possibility that the smallest minority may ba right, nud the biggest majority wrong ; and se it is possible. Umt Butler and the Sun may be as right new as they think they are. There Is no disputing, however, that they are tee weak numerically te ask a verdict In their favor te day. Time, the great alleviator, may bring succor te their down trodden opinions ; until which day their graceful retirement will be an evidence of the geed sense which accepts with ro3lginalien the inevitable. Ueltlng te he Fashionable. Anether New Yerker has furnished his ceaclitnsD with a wife from among his daughters. Mr. Drake, of the Pro duce Exchange, residing in the country and keeping his family secluded, has had a daughter of the mature age of thirty supply herself with a mate from the limited maleiial at hand, finding the line young . fellow who drove the horses just suited te her mind. Naturally there is some alarm among the rich men of Getham at this new perquisite attaching te the position of coachmen, Ultimately it "will have its advantage, however, in giving them cheap coachmen ; and under the incen tive before them, the coachmen will be likely te advance in culture te meet the demands of the matrimonial market thrown open te them. Geed looking and well behaved young men ought te have an advantage ever 111 looking and coarse fellows in seeking the favor of the daughters of the familyin which they are hired te drive the horses. We may ex poet te see this business advanced te the rank of a polite profession. A great mauy nice young men take naturally te horses, and drive coaches for their amusement when they are rich. There are coaching clubs iu the huge cities, and every summer a singe coach is driven in the suburbs of New Yerk for hire by some of the coach ing club members. Itich young men, flndiug that nice girls are te be had as a reward for driving family coaches may be induced te go Inte the business. And peer young men who want te get rich, and like te drive, have a double incen tive te become rich men's coachmen, when the rich men have a nice let of daughters pining in the country. Salary need be no object te them, as they get their livery and bearding free. It is the habit of country landlords te pay their hosllers.ne wages, the tips obtained from the customers being sufficient compen sation. Tbe same custom may be ex pected te become general in hiring ceachnieTi In families where there are marriageable girls te reward the coach men's services with their hands and their father's dollars. And the fathers will be benefited additionally by the very handy way opened for the dis position or their daughters, when it be comes thoroughly fashionable te marry tbe coachman ; a fashion which must be expected, under the many strong in duceraenta offered, te seen be utrenislv established. All that is needeM for its success is nice young fellows for coach men ; and as there ure plenty of nice young fellows, and plenty of coachmen's places, the two difficult questions as te the disposal of daughters und the diffusion of wealth seem te be happily Eettled. i Ma. Wsi. II. VANi)Eiimr.T has again unbosemed himself te a reporter. Mr. Vanderbllt says nothing of ceusequence beyond declaring his opinion that we have reached the le west ebb of business depression,' nnd that a revival will come seen. Mr.Yanderbilt's means of judg ing of this are no batter than theso of anyone else, and his opinions are just as likely a. the30 of anyone, else te be cel ered'Ujj1 his Interests. It seems, hew. ever, probable that hu iVright la judging that the business depression will net grew worse ; but that matters will very seen mend is .net se clear. The dying away efbusiues3 has been gradual, and its recovery Is likely te be slew. There is nothing te indicate any great increase Jn business activity in the immediate fu ture, but there Is encouragement te be be eove that thess who can accommodate themselves te the present coalitions, can continue their industries until the fature brings them a better reward.' A revival of trade is certain ; the only question la astohdnrseon It will come and with hew strong a tide.

The boasted disaffection in the Democratic ranks has faded into thin air, or never existed except in the ex uberant fancy of the Republican editors in whom the wish was father te the thought. The Demecracv of the city and county held fast te their party be cause of its principles, and net because of official Bpeils, the anchor that holds many of their Republican brethren ; and from this time forward they will take oil their coats and roll up their alcoves te give New Yerk's roferin governor a handsome vote in the home of the enemy. i i m TnK rotluetion in wages ever the oeuutry will largely rcduce the Republican vete- Giudy has finally determined te get off the track ever which the Democrats locemotivo is scurrying te the WliUe Heuse.

Jaxacsciif.k thinks that the dramatic critics of Kew Yerk are exceed ingly unfair in their cemments en events iu the theatrical world. As the cause of her indignation may be traced te the New Yerk Herald' condemnation of "My Lift,"ln which the fair tragedienne figured, her eiustic remarks may ba taken with a few grains of allowance. Yet it is a fact that dramatic critics have in their own hands very largeiy the luceess or failure of a play, and the weight of the responsibility resting en them should cause them te be' scrupulously careful in making np their verdicts. A notable Instance occurred a few years age in New Yerk when a trial developed that a dram alie critic en one of tha great papers had bean making mer chandise of his position te applaud or oendemn stage celebrities. After all, however, criticism is a relative matter.and is by most sensible people accepted as merely an individual opinion. It can, at the worst, net have mero efieet than te ictard the progress of a geed play iu the public estimation. hebsenaij.

When I idek out upon this large and iutclJifreut oudleiTeo j!thnred together in this goodly city, I think hew unfair is the claim that all the goeduess and wisdom are in the Republicau puty, while all tbe wrong and ignorance is found in the Democratic party. That arraut infidel, Beb Ingcriell, said In the Oat field cam paigu that in tbe placa whero he lived in the West there were 181 prisensrs in the penitentiary. Of these, ISO were Deme crats and ene a Republican, of whom the latter broke j 11 from very disgust. Had this Republican lived in Pennsylvania the pardon beird would have raved him from that extremity. These statistics may be easily explained. Tbe Democracy put their thieves in jail, while tbe Itepublieans olevatc theirs te public offices. And juJg leg from tha testimony of the great Republican no wspapers that are advocating Grever Cleveland's electien, that ene es cap:d convict must be the head of the Republican presidential ticket. The Republican party has had 21 years of power, and what have they dene? They have given us tbe most expsnsiva govern ment et the world, have allowed publie thieves te plunge their arms te the elbew in the national treasury, have permitted the state department te beceme a bur bur lesque of statesmanship and the army a failure, have squandered $100,000,000 in a rotten navy, made the offices of the in terior department a matter of bargain and saie aud tbe attorney general's office a failure and a fraud. -In the treasury de partment there have been 1,000 erasurea and defalcations te the amount of 1 15, 000,000. Oa the contrary, the Damoeratio party has geno te war with Great Britain te maintain the right of the foreign born American citizen te eling te tue country or ms adoption. '1 bat party fought tha Kuow-Nethiog organlzatieu toetn ana nauin aoiense or civil and re ligious liberty, and its record has been ene long defense of tbe laboring element et the population, whieh is itself As Goldsmith says : "When wealth ae cumulates, men deeay." Under the Damoeratio theory of government tbe eheap lands of the country were for tbe peer and oppressed of every clime. Under the Republican theery tbe publie lands are parceled out te contractors and corpora tions who have bceu permitted te absorb te themselves 204,000,000 acres of the publie domain. In conclusion, the speaker pre dicted a regeneration of tbe oeuntry as tbe effect of Democratic suoeess, whieh was new inovitable. President Steinraetz then introduced Hen. Samuel J. Randall in complimentary terms, rcferiiug te him as a man en whose es cutcheon net one dark'speU rested durieg a long and useful publie career. Mr. Randall speke as fellows : TrrE srEEcn or cenckessman nANDAM., Fellow eltlzsns of Lancaster county : It affords me real satisfaction te be bere te address you, because I have always looked with great concern and deepest Interest en the Democracy of tbe distriet for their pluck in net fearing an ever whelming enemy. And Ideslre personally te return my unbounded tbanks for the cnoeuragoment received in my publie life from the geed people of this county. If we trace baek the history of parties in this country, we find they divided off at an early period en the construction of the constitution, ene maintaining a loose and the ether a strlet construction. Of the latter the Demoeratto party has been the legitimate sucossser ; and it asserts te-day that there Is no constitutional warrant for tbe raising of revenues larger than neces sary te economically administer tbe government. As Cicere says, we say, ".economy is a great rtvoaue." This surplus revenue question is no new one ' In Ameriean politics. In 1830, a distinguished oltizen of this oeunty (Mi, Buehanau) Insisted tbat there was no warrant in tbe constitution for tbe collection of the revenues te disburse thorn te the state?, and his eloqueneo had tbe offeet of, amending the preposition se us te inake tbe disbursement a lean te tbe state, which was te be governed by the laws obtaining between debtor and creditor. When this amendment was adopted the debt was only 940,000,000 and the surplus 930.000,000. What is a surplus ? It is what we have after payment of all debts. Te this bliss ful condition the United Slates bave net yet arrived. I firmly believe thatte the un necessary surplus may be traced most of tbe business prostration that new stares the country in the faes. Yet n plank in the Republlcan state platform, instead of suggesting a means of keeplug the Burplus In the pockets of the people, proposes a division el It nmongthestateB. MrBlaiue is In hearty oeoord with the soheme and Jehn Shermau has geno se far ns te ilelend the unnecessary taxation, asserting that the poeplo are willing te,pay it 1 waut te s-y that the prevision allow ing interual rotcuue taxation was only pasred with the proviso that It should he used In case of war, and overy vestige or it was swept away alter Jeffersen's tlme. The excess of rovenuo of last J ear was 100,000,000, and let It be remembered that the payments Inte the sinking fund are intieh larger than required by law. Mr. lilalue favors the retention of the luternal rovenue because it maintains 45,000 Ho He Ho pnblleau oillelals cestiug the oeuntry 85,000,000 annually. , . His idea is te levy all the tnxui en whisky and tobaeoo. Our idea Is that the v,hele Internal rovenue Bystem should be swept away. When Blalue Insists en its oeutinuanoo he is favoring the permsnent establishment of ene of the most grasp ing monopolies. Loek ut the Whisky Ring. It oame te Congress te diotate leg islation in IU interest, and the laws con cen con ecmlug that product have been ercatrd by it. Se also with the tnateh monopoly. Loek ntyeur tariff en tobaeoo. Great Lan caster county could net compete with tlm l.r?n wheat grewers of the West and she turned her atteu. tien te the cultivation of the leaf. llnr nnim il limilllttt Is twleO that Of tllO state of Connecticut, Is as much as all the test of het- ewu state combined, aud 1 onn enn sylvaula has only Virginia and lveulueky ahead or her In the raising of this great staple. Yet you caunet grew tobaeoo and soil It te your neighbor. It must go through the hands of an United States officer, te whom is glven the right in his owndlserotlonto rausackyeur heuse and epeu your books. This llconse system Is the pettiest and most anueyiiig under nhHh a feo poeplo ever groaned. W- w-v al. .bese laws wipeu out. no want tarifl levled en the foreign proJuets that coine iate the United States. I am net going te say that there is a constitu tional warrant for protection per $t, ,but duties should be be limited us te fill tbe gap between the home price aud foreign price, be that home labor may net suffer. I regard thu Chioage platform tu this ro re ro speet as cne of tbe most business like documents that has evor emanated from any patty. The speaker declared that It was the greatest of evils te have an ovcrtlewing treasury. Bnt the evll becomes greater when the surplus H distributed among the states. Yeu thus make th.i latter dopen depen dents of the fcderal government. It in net eafe te permit the federal goviwuuient te de what the state cau de as well ; uer Is it proper te allow eithsr te de tbat whieh can be better den by the municipal govern gevern govern ruent. .Mr. B!aine proposes in the surplus distribution scheme te give Pennsylvania 47,000,000 as her share. Singularly onengh, it is just the c3st of the state government. If she receives this sum Irem the federal admuistratieti, she becomes Its stipen diary, federal rcsttloMens would cease and centralization would come. We are told that thn J 150 030,000 of surplus is necessary. Wfcv there are from $200,000,000 te $225,000,000 that will never be called for. Tne Itepublieans concede that there are $150,000,000 in the treasury vault against which there is net a single demand. They say they are anxious te maintain the credit of the gov ernment The trade dollar, oentalning 420 grains of silver, was made by them net cqnal i,i value te the Bland dollar, whieh was less valuable by 7 grains. A Dcmocratie Heuso vu-Hcd a bill for the redemption of the trade dollar, but a ila. publican Senate killed it. Aga'n. we are told that the Democratic party is net the friend of the navy. Taore have been np np perpriated sinoe ihe war for naval purpo ses i 100.000.000. This amount has been expended by Republican administrations, and Democratic Congresses since the war bave glven nearly as much te the navy as their Republican predecessors. The navy has been manned and ofiiesred by as geed nnd gallant Democrats as ever breathed. What then is the cause of Its failure ? I tell you iu all sobernccs, the greatest enemy of tbuuavy it its civil administnv tieu at Washington, The Republican patty has given away since the war 300,000,000 acres of the pub pub leo lauds. The last Damoeratio Hease made a great effort te recover this lest domain, and it Buccscdcd only te the ex- tent of passing bills te be defeated by a Republican Senate. And it will alwBji be se cutil the great power of a Demo cratic president is thrown Inte the scale te hasten the work of reform. Frauoe's mighty power te meet all the financial de mands upon ber arises from tbe fact tbat she is a nation of small farmers. France lias many millions of land owners, while Great Britain has only 300,000. The methods of Franea in this respect may well be copied by tbe United States. And in conclusion I ask you te elect Cleveland nnd Hendricks, bceauRO they are honest and opable. I de net care te criticise tbe candidates et tbe opposition personally, but I knew tbat ours de net suffer by comparison. We want Republi can officials te rcmembcr tbat office Is a trust and net a perquisite. But the only remedy for the growing evils is a change of administration, anditcannet oe tne tee quickly for tbe .honor and' prosperity of the country. a speech rne.M mh. iiekbel. W. U. Hccsel beiug ealled for took the stand amid loud appiause. He said he came here te-night merely te introduce his friends, Lamberten and Randall, te bis old nolghbers. Hqkuew.ef no moral se obvious as that furnished by a contrast of tbe publie services of Samuel J. Randall and James U. Blaine. Of the latter the New Yerk ZVAun,the leading Ropubllean newspaper, bad said : ' "He baa held a conspicuous place in publie life for many years, and never urged any measure of reform nor at any time pretested againtt tbe enactment of bad laws nor a eirrupt administration of the government," Ne such oritieism can be found anywhere against Mr. Randall. During bis entire publie career his official acts have been marked by purity, and be has been the earnest friend of economy and reform, as he has been an earnest leader against every form of corrupt legislation. Mr. Ucnstl bold in his hand the'platferm of the Republicau national convention, whieh he obaraetorizod as the " deathbed confession pf the Republican patty." Mr. Heqsel read from the Ropubllean platform and created much merriment by contrast ing its declarations with the corrupt prac tices of the'party.' In'thelr platform they ceraplalu that " the. Demoeratlo party has failed oemplotoly te relieve the people of tbe burthen of unnecessary taxation by a wise reduction of the surplus," wbila in fact it wfcs tbe Republican party tbat crea ted the surplus and Ropubllean congress men who approved all measures looking te its reduction. The nlatformealls upon Congress to'rctveol tbe act permitting' tha imperiaiiuu ui yaupei iju.ji, wuuu , , the Republicans themselves who passed the aet tbat their platform condemns. They pledge thomselvM te ','oerroot the inet qualities of the tariff," when It-was them. selves who passed tbe tariff bill with all its Inequalities, Every, tarifTJaw that has been . passedwithin a quarter of a century was pasBcd by Republican votes, and in stead of proteetlng the Ameriean labor, we find te-day in Pittsburg 10,000 working men en the streets, with no means even te buy bread. Tba Cambria Iren works have out down the wages of their workmen almost te the starvation point, and tbe same condition of affairs exists in almost every mill, mlne and mart in the oeuntry. Four years age the Republicans told the wetking poeplo that if the Democrats came Inte power the oeuntry would suffer ' and our industrial Interests would be crushed. The Republicans retain power aud te-day the workmen nru suffering for the ncecssailes of life mid the owls nud the bats have their nesti In ene-half of the mlllr, Mr. llousel oeutiuutd te dheuss the platform Item by Item, showing that the Itepublieans had opposed the establish, ment of a national bureau of labor, which was finally passed by a Demoeratlo Heuse. Whlle proclaiming thomselros In favor of the protection of American citizens abroad, Blaine whlle seeretary of state had porniltted Ameriean oltlzens te languish in foreign prisons. Whlle pretending te leek upon the publie lands ns a "herltage of the pcople,' they had given millions of aercs te railroad monopolies, and when a Damoeratio Heuso et Representatives passed a bill te rocevor a portion of theso unearned lands, tbe Republicau Senate defeated It. In their platform thoydemand "a restoration of our navy," whin it was themselves that de stroyed it ; 1100,000,000 had bean appropri ated for the navy sluoe the war, nud yet we bave no navy. Iren steamcrn bave been built nt n oest of mil lions of dollars, nud even tolero they have been ilnlshed they have been brokeu un for old Iren anil anlil In Jehn Roaeh for a few thousands, and eveu thcu that patriotie gentleman eharged the government mero for storage than he paid forthelronl Their platform proposes re form wllbiu the party lines, whlle their oandldate for president never advocated a single moasure of reform, but always lent himself te the corrupt lobbyists. Alter exposing the thefts of the Star Reuto and whisky rings, Mr. Hensol drew a vivid contrast between the offlelal aotiens of the Demoeratlo nnd Republican candi dates, the ene ever en the sldoef right aud honest administration, tue ether evor iutilgning te make money by the use of his official InllucilOA. Mr. 1 1 muni nrm- eluded his address by reviewing the pelltl. eal situation and glviug auuranee that the Demoeratlo skies were bright and a Damoeratio victory eertalu. Fer overy Patrick Ferd we less, we gain a dozen men llke Carl Sehurz and Goe, Wm. Curtis. The oeming battle will net be iu Ohie, Miehigau or Wisconsin, though all these Ropubllean states are new doubt ful, but In tbe great state of New Yerk, and there the victory will be wen. Even iu Pennsylvania they may win, for there Is net an election district trem whieh he is net receiving the names of wavering or dia affected Itepublieans. Mr. Heneel's remarks were frequently greeted with the heartiest applause, as were also these of the two eloquent speakers who bad preceded him. LiTTLn lduals.
