accept such q nomination.; but, the contrary he las
looked upon the proposition for a change Of candidates

| THE BORDER STATE DEMOCRACY's PROGRAMME.
! LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. 19.-Many caucuscs of
Southern Democrats have assembled here during the last
two days, the purpose being to suggest now course Of
party action Their programme appears TO be to counsel
the withdrawal Of all candidates. and 10 substitute none
to request the withdrawal Of all Democratic representa-
ton from the Legislative halls ut Washington and to
| recommend that Cen Grant be petitoned TO do away
with all Southern State Governments, thereby relieving
OF taxes They pretend TO have confidence
I'm Grant, and that they willing to abandon all
| political differences and accept Grant the military
Dictator FOR the entire people and TO abolish all formaty
elections tho future, throwing themselves the
mercy and Justice Of well known Grant, and
whose honesty they know TO be unimpcachablc. They
say they will make further party opposition, will not
countcnance Northern Democratic counsel. and will be
deceived longer by them. Gen. SchCAeld Secretary
