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.

Will bend all their energies te bring
about a Democratic success As was
remarked by the last speaker of the
evening, the Democracy are strong in
the righteousness of their cause, and
they have forced the fighting in the pres
ent campaign, compelling their adversa
ries te assume the defensive in continued
apologies and explanations of the bad
public record of their presidential can
didate. 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

AlAmiir. 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.

MU. lAXIBEirrO.N'S ADDUES3.
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

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.

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

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

Heqsel read from the Ropubllean platform

tices of the'party.' In'thelr platform they
ceraplalu that " the. Demoeratlo party
