parts Of our land forces have already planted our
conquering banner in New Mexico, whilst our ma

this, too when we began the war as we did both
our other warstha is, with little or no preparation,
as far Congress was coDeerned with far less, IN

istocTaey. "A.
Mr.. Hampton's main arguments agans! the tirln
bill Of 1896 were quotations and deducusns from
speeches and letters of certain democratic members
Of Congress from Pennsylvania. Mr.. MeCandless
met them all and nobly sustained the principles OF
the new tariff law-lts business and equaity OF u'A
ation-whilst he exposed 70 the satisfaction OF lhose
who heard him, the injustice and inequality OF
the tax law of 1912 particularly 10 the producing
cIasres-farmers and laborers. He demonstrated
clearly the fallacy Of the whig "home market, ana
proved that, Notwithstanding the boasted "home
market the farmer never realized more for his prod
uoe than il was worth in New York or Philsde-
phia, less freight, and charges OF commission, @c'i
and that upon the farmers and laborers, who com
pose the great of the consumers OF foreign nm
ports, rested the burden Of supporting the govern
ment.
Has the course pursued by Mr.. McCandless in
the canvass been sustained by the democracy OF this
district Let the tables speak the result.
Mr.. MeCsndless is perhaps the only democnue
candidate for Congress in this State who has re-
duced the whig majority for Clay In 1874.
Ii the democratic members of Congress from
| Penns ylyana had paid less attention 70 the whg
''touch me not" cry Of the tariff Of 1912, and had
given their support TO the new bill with such modi-
hcaticns as they could have obtained and then gone

McCandless supported the new law, and wha
was the consequence He reduced, even in the fur
| mace doors of the manufacturers, Clay's majority
l6i, and amongst the farmers, outside Of the city
limits, he reduced Clay's majority 1852 more-thui
making total reduction Of Ciay's majority slnc'

and in doing so the manufacturers have sacrificed al
that is good and noble for the sake OF party

TO THE EDITOR OF THE UNION.

... .n .h PITTsBURe, Oct. u 1876.
I send you annexed comparative table Of the
majorties for Clay and Polk in 1914, and the ma.
jortes for Hampton and McCandless at the late
election for Congress in Allegheny county-the
great manufacturing district Of Pennsylvania.
II will be seen, by reference to the table, that
Clay had majority over Mr.. Polk in the cities of
Pittsburg and Allegheny, and the manufacturing
districts adjoining them, ofl19s and in the sgricul
tural districts Of the county ll42-makng in all
2340 majority for Clay in the district.
Previous to the late election, the wings asserted
and proclaimed that in consequence of the repeal of
the tariff Of Is42, Allegheny county would give
Hampton majority of 5000 over McCandless, the
democratic candidate for Congress. In order to
produce this result the manufacturers were induced
to lend themselves 10 the whg politicians, and by
ntimidatons, threats Of reduction of wages, pic
lures Of ruin, &c, &C., many Of the operatives in
these manufacturing establishments were consrain-
ed to vote against the democratic candidate for Con-
eress. atD HtE# Hssaai slr
Owing TO professional engagements, Mr.. Me-
Candless could not enter into the canvass until
within 10 or ~ days Of the election He then took
the stump, and his opponents face to face, be-
fore the people-the yeomanry Of the country
