tive than the demand for energy on the part
of those who are fully with us. Let us have
from these public demonstrations of our nu-
merical strength on a grand scale. Let Re-
publicans attend our meetings, aud take part
in every public demonstration, not merely
from curiosity to hear the speeches, but as an
act of patriotic duty. Then these monster
gatherings will have power like the recent
glorious news from Vermont and the coming
news from Maine, 30 guide as well as to indi-
cate the popular current.
See, finally, that your town and school dis
trict clubs have full and accurate lists of all
voters and how they stand. Visit the doubt
full voters yourself. Find out on what grounds
they propose TO stay at home on election day.
Answer their objections kindly, squarely, and
fully, if you can, or see that others do. Re-
member we are fighting the last great battle
of the war for the Union aud freedom. Our
success depends upon bringing up our entire
reserve.

this time has been wasted and the country
kept in turmoil to rear structure which
tumbles into ruins as soon as it leaves the
hands of its architects That the political
skill OF the Southerners is exhausted by this
hrst gexperiment, wouldl be an unwarranted
conclusion. With their superior numbers,
superior intelligence, and great experience in
political management, the Southern whites
are certain to control their own States, when
Congress ceases to govern them from Wash

those Constitutions remain nominally in force,

instrument while preparing for better.
Under Democratic administration, the
change will be easy and peaceful; but if the
radicals were to retain possession of the Fede-
raj Government they would keep the South
unsettled for another four years.

What Say the People of Malneg ?

From the Boston Post.
The people of Maine cannot forget that they
have great local interests at stake upon the
result of their election, and that these inte-
rests are now at the mercy OF party, whose
leaders in the national councils are deaf to
their appeals for relief, and have ever been
ready to slaughter them for the accomplish
mept of their own selfish aims. What care

radical Congressman Of Maine, for the resto-
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1868-09-11

last year Of number of Republicans aud
War Democrats who were dissatisfied with the
conduct of Congress as regards certain fea
lures of the Reconstruction policy. On the
part of the Republican party, however, this
feeling has been fully met by the nominstion
of General Grant in the face of the extremists
OF their own party.
The Democrats, on the other hand, have not
changed at all. They persist in their old
policy of sympathy with those who fought
against the Union, aud propose to revou-
tionize the whole history of the nation since
1860. They held the war to be unjust and
have given the people no reason to believe
that their convictions in that respect have
altered. They declare the acts of Reconstruc-
tion unconstitutional, null, and void; aud in
the event of success, promise to override the
Senate of the United States, and to carry out
their policy by war if necessary. They have,
in fact, dived down so deep that they lay their
hands upon all the issues of the war against
rebellion, and propose to nullify and gnore
them.
