20 The Raleigh IN. CO. Standard guar
antees $4,000 majority for Grant and Col
fax in North Carolina.
GW General Grant crushed the rebel
lion. The present political contest is
the endeavor of the rebellion to crush
him.
sN A New York publishing house ad
vertiscs Pollard's (" Lost Cause" as The
only Democratic history of the war;"
aY Out of six hundred and seventy in
mates of the Auburn On. Y. } Penitentiary,
six hundred and thirty-six arc Democrats
and thirty-four Republicans.
gB Son! The rebel who deprived you
of father will vote for Seymour and
Blair Father The rebel who deprived
you of son will vote for Seymour and
Blair. VIII you vote with them?
M General J. B. Webster, of Pitts
burgh, who was the Democratic candidate
for Congress against Governor Moorhead
in 1866, has declared his intention to vote
and speak for Grant and Colfax
GY The miscreant whose bullet sought
the brain of Abraham Lincoln, were he
alive, would vote for Seymour and Blair.
Friends of the martyred President! will
you vote for the same disloyal men?
GY Open and positive threats have
been made in Marion county, Kentucky,
that if Seymour and Blair are elected,
every Republican in that county will be
driven out of the State or killed-the
threats not only embrace that county but
the entire State.
gYI It is said that Seymour has caused a
committee to follow up Blair, and stop
him from making more speeches or writing
more letters. Seymour is said to have
given way to the suspicion that Blair
means to kill him off with his letters and
speeches
W Howell Cobb is making speeches at
the South to stir up the old rebel fire, and
he sustains Seymour by appeals OF this
Sort Come, one and all, and let us snatch
the old banner from the dust, give it again
to the breeze, and, if needs be, to the God
of battles, and strike one more honest
blow for constitutional liberty. [Prolong-
ed and enthusiastic applause.]
- A political count of the Boston Corn
Exchange has been made, with the follow
ing result OF 24S members, 1913 favor the
election of Grant, 80 Seymour; Is are
doubtful, three would not vote, and four
were not in town. b.,
W The Louisville Journal calls Sher-
man, Thomas and Meade satraps," and
the soldiers "slaves of the satraps." 1t
says, of course they are for Grant, to-
gether with call swindlers, pimps, detect
ives, adventures, bigots and black
guards" but that the whole respectable
ty of the South are for Blair and Sey
mour." How does that sound, soldiers?
"a The World bulletin board day or
two ago displayed copy of the Weekly
Campaign World containing an illustration
representing General Grant sitting on the
top of a whisky barrel; near him was a
second barrel with nobody upon it, and
above the words "Match Him." Some
intelligent Democrat posted a wood-cu
portrait of Frank P. Blair over the vacant
spot, and amused the crowd until one of
the Worlds att0cltes discovered the addi-
ton and removed it.-.Sua.
"a The London Spectator of July 25,
says: "We never remember to have read
American documents which puzzled us SO
entirely as the Democratic platform and
the report of the meeting by which that
| platform was accepted. They read as if
| the Democrats had lost their sense alto
gether, had degenerated from great party
into mere faction, too hopeless of success
| to care for anything except the pro gramme
which should most fully defy and irritate
their antagonists"
gI The following will be the epitaph
| craven upon the tombstone Of the Blair
and Seymour party next November:
| Here Lies,
Without Hope of Resurrection,
| ALI that remains of
| AMERICAN DEMOCRACY,
/ (talsely so called.)
Her appalling crime was to have sacrificed
| Million Lives
And Many Thousand Millions of Treasure
In fiendish struggle to perpetuate
AMERICAN SLAVERY.
| In the presence of this one enorrnty
| IT would be mockery to utter
The name OF any
VIRTUE.
