ever before joined together for a similar purpose
have already entered and many others are expected

Who Is the Democratic Cam
did0te for Vice PreSiden t.?

It's little funny, isn't it, that the man who
occupies the second place on the Democratic
ticket has been entirely ignored by the Demo-
cratic press and stump speakers since the 18th
of October? He is kept out of sight like de-
formed baby, except by a very large minority
of the party journals that demand his with.
drawal.
This is the man who was nominated by o
unanimous Rebel yell at the Tammany Con-
vention, when the Broadhead letter was still
hot from his pen. AT that time the Democracy
imagined that it was safe to act in accordance
with their genuine opinions. The October
elections disabused their minds of that impress
sion. So they endeavor to create an impress
sion that poor Frank and his naughty letter
are both myths,
Shame ON party that dominates by accla-
nation candidate who speedily becomes even
In their own eyes infamous, not from any
change in their views, but because of the in
slant and irrevocable condemnation of the peo-
pie!
But Frank is still alive. His Broadhead let
ter is still part of current literature To-day
they both will be consigned to happy obliy-
ion. For the last time we print Blairs war
cry:
There is but one way to restore the Govern
ment and the Constitution, and that is for the
President elect to declare these acts null and
void, compel the army TO undo its usurpations
at the South, DISPERSE THE CARPET
BAG STATE GOVERNMENTS. allow the
white people to reorganize their own Govern
ments, and elect Senators and Representatives.
The House of Representatives will contain a
majority of Democrats from the North, and
they will admit the Representatives elected by
the white people of the South, and. with the
cooperation of the President, it will not be
difficult TO compel the Senate to submit once
more to the obligations of the Constitution.
1t will not be able to withstand the public
Judgment, if distinctly invoked and clearly ex-
pressed on this fundamental issue, and it is the
sure way to avoid all future strife to put the
issue plainly to the country.

Hold 1T IN Eternal RemeM-
ORANGE

So long as the memory of Horatio Sey mour
lives his words to the July rioters will be asso-
ciated with his name. When the telegraph
carried to all parts of the Union the news of
his nomination, instinctively there rose to the
lips of the whole people the words, "My
friends"-words written in blood-red lie tiers on
the forehead of the man who uttered them
Here is the text of his discourse, with the run
ming commentary of his hearers:
My Friends 1 have come down here from
the quiet OF the country to see what was the
difficulty, to learn what all this trouble was
concerning the draft. Let me assure you that
I am your friend, (Uproarious cheering.) You
have been my triends-(eries of "Yes, yes"
That's sol" "We are, and will be againp')-
and now assure you, my fellowcitizens that
(Cheers.) 1 wish to inform you that HAVE
SENT MY ADJUTANT GENERAL TO
WASHINGTON TO CONFER WITH THE
AUTHORITIES THERE, AND TO HAVE
THIS DRAFT SUSPENDED AND STOP
PED. (Vociferous cheers.) l ask you as
good citizens to wait for his return; and 1 as
sure you that l will do all That can to see
that there is no inequality and no wrong done
to any one. l wish you to take good care of
all property as good citizens, and see that eve
ry person is safe The safe keeping of proper
you to disturb neither. 1t is your duty to
maintain the good order of the city, aud
know you will do it. I wish you now to sepa-
rate as good citizens, and you can assemble
again whenever you wish to do So l ask you
TO leave all to me now, and aoiH see to your
rights. Wait until my Adjutant returns from
Washington, and you shall be satisfied.

"Smic5de is COnfessiaa, ,,

When the Argus, World, Intellisencer, and
other rabid Copperhead sheets, came out, a
few days ago, and admitted that ruin would
follow supporting any longer such men as Sey-
mour and Blair, they put the knife to the
Threats of these Rebel sympathizers and con-
fessed that they were unworthy of support. 1t
was not exactly suicide, but it was murder
without the benefit of clergy" The Argus
and the other macontents were whipped into
the traces in double qnick time int the econ
fession" stands. That cannot be obliterated.
Having glimpse of better things, the Argus
returns to sits wallowing in the mire." Its
columns this morning will TEEN with appeals
pathetic and frantic-to the Democracy to
rush to the polls and support the very men
whom they begged to have withdrawn from
the track, because it was not proper to sustain
them for those high positions. Can degreda-
ton find lower depth than that?
The Portland daily press., 1868-11-03
The ArOaIs COufesses !

The Argus on Saturday said good thing
and true besides, but very likely unconscious
ly. 1t speaks of the burdens of the reports by
telegraph as horrible murders of Radicals and
negroes. 1t speaks Of them slghtingly as
though the writer agreed with Mr.. Toots that
it is of "no consequence"
That paper then adds this significant re,
mark: st aoM be surprising hoao fen there will
be after election"
Yes, sir. The days of murders in the South
of innocent men for their opinions or their
skins, has passed. We count their emancpa-
ton by hours. Thank heaven the day breaks,
and it will be astonishing how few there will be
next week, or tomorrow even. The confession
OF the Argus is appropriate, but late.
Every Radical vote thrown in Maine to-day
will swell the majority which will stay the red
hand of the murderer in the South! That is
the way we are to suppress the flow of blood |!
Let no one feel that he can do nothing to hin
der these miscreants frompursuing their dead
ly work. Put in the ballot promptly.

Look on This Picture, and
then on This!

"If any man attemots to haul down the
Am erican fag, shoot him the spot" said
John A. Dix in IN emergency.
Here is another of his pithy sayings: Il
should regard Seymour's election at this juno
ture, when stead; ness of purpose, decision and
self control are so much needed, as one of the
greatest calamities that could befal the coun-
try
And now on this: "The man probably does
not live who ever Beard Horatio Seymour ut
ter word of encouragement to the loyal sol
diers while fighting to save the country, or
knew of his giving dollar to aid the govern
ment in overthrowing the rebellion. He en-.
couraged others to do as he did himself His
course on the United States bonds was jnfa-
nous for man in his commanding position f!
He never took the amount of one dollar in
them, but secuted them from first to last"
And yet loyal, true, self-sacrificing men are
appealed to to forget all this and vote for him
for President to-day! As well might you ex-
pect "Birnam wood to come to Dunsinane"
These sins of omission and commission are too
vital and overwhelming to be forgotten or over
looked. The result is at hand. The scorn at
such conduct will show forth in an over
whelmng defeat of the recreant who could
thus turn his back upon the distresses of his
country, in that bitter hour of life or death to

!SDecie Payment !

Who does not desire return to hard mon
ey currency? They are few indeed who do
not Nj. Seymour was of that school, former.
ly. Only few days before the convention
nominated him, he maintained that if 1--WE de-
base the currency by unwse issues, we shall
equally perpex business and destroy sober in
dustry." Very true. Why did he not hold to
these sterling views? The glitter of the
crown was too much for HIM. He debased
himself for an empty honor. He took the
platform when he took the nomination. Now,
neither he nor the Democratic party is any
longer the hard money party.~~&
The Republican policy is, tc . Agold as
speedily as possible. 1t aims " ;Sturn to the
point where greenbacks are as good as coin, by
improving the national credit and restricting
the circulation of currency.
The Democratic party, with Seymour at the
head, urges policy, which, if adopted, would
food the country with deprecated paper, and
defer the return of specie payments, indefinite
ly. This is the entertainment which the DEM
ocrats invite us to help perpetuate by our votes
to-day. 1t is nefarious in its conception, and
will most contemptibly fail

HOU 1T WOMId Haze Been
Under Seymour.

The Mobile Register, edited by John For
syth, who was one of the prime movsrs in the
Rebellion, devotes half column of his space
TO giving advice to the negroes. He says:
When the scalawags have filled their pock-
cts with all the plumber they can lay their
hands on, you and we will be left to make f.
nal settlement. And just as sure as you are
born you have got to meet us, face to face in
this matter, with the scalawags counted out
counted out they are obliged to be. If not in
one way, another, for lite is not precious
enough to balance against the stern determl-
nation of this people to overthrow the usurpa-
ton and tyranny of these ntruding scoundres
and incendIaries.
Let the colored man stand aside until this
contest for the mastery of this land is settled.
He can gain nothing, and risk much and lose
much by taking part in it. Stand aloof,
black man, aud then join and make friends
with those who win.
The Southern people wish you well, and
they will be your friends if you let them But
if you consort with their enemies, you take

If You Are an Idiot,

You may tproperly gable about the down.
trodden, negro-dominated white people of the
South. We speak of this in strong terms, be-
cause it is the sheerest, rankest nonsense,
though such men as John Quincy Adams do
not hesitate to make use of it.
Just look at the facts once more
In the seven reconstructed States of North
and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alaba-
ma, Louisiana and Arkansas, that are to par
ticipate in the election for President to-day,
the white vote for President in 1860 was 400,
1888. The number of white voters whose
names are registered and who can vote to-day
if they will is 453553-4A,2fe more than in
1901 1t must be remembered too, that there
are tens of thousands OF whites whose obsti-
nately rebelious spirit prevents their res ister-
ing, though there is nothing in the world to
prevent them.
In these seven States the registered white
vote is as large as the aggregate of the register
ed colored uote
If the whites did not perversely refuse to
take part in elections, they might, if united,
out-register and out-vote the negroes in all
these States but South Carolina
This they call injustice. The disfranchise-
ment of HALF A MILLION of loyalsts they
call Justice.

ReJ0G No Efforts :

The Boston Advertiser of Saturday congrat-
ulated its readers that in the last days of the
canvass the Republicans had not allowed their
confidence to impair their activity. Let us be
able to prove, by the result, that the remark is
equally true of Maine. Let there be no relax
alton, in the few hours there are left to cause a
full vote to be thrown! 1t needs but the con-
tinued activity of the September election to put
Maine high up in the ranks of Republican
States, which by their splendid majorites put
the nation under the guidance of loyal men,
and saved the day! Activity Activity!
