Campaign Notes.
In the year 1871, the War Department
sold, without warrant of Congress,
$S,2S0,000 worth of arms to the French
Government, to enable it to war against
the German Empire.
THE He'll Gate explosion was thorough
and accomplished fully and completely
the object intended. On the 7th of No
vember the Democrats will explode the
mine that is to blow the Republican
party to atoms.
GOVERNOR TILDEN reduced the tax of
the State of New York in the first year
of his administration, 81 500, ,S01. AZ in
the second year the reduction was more
than $5,000,0 900 over the first, and the
whole reduction from the last year of
Gen. Dix's administration is S7,19S,-
607.76, or nearly one-half the total tax.
The last Republican House of Repre-
sentatives appropriated S15.500, 900 in
ercess of the amounts needed by the re-
spectiye Departments to carry on the
Government. As contrast to this, the
first Democratic House of Representa-
tiyes has appropriated 100000, 600 less
than the estimates The difference in
favor of the Democratic economy and
Ietrenchment is therefore $50, SOC, 900.
ALL the monopolies with which our
distressed people are burthened are the
outgrowth of Republican rule. The
Republican party has never abated a
monopoly. The Democratic party has
never created one. The Republican
party always multiplies legislation.
The Democratic party persistently re-
moves bad laws from the Statute book.
"WHo are the Democratic soldiers ?"
contemptuously asks Senator Logan.
Well, there's Hancock and Hooker and
Slocum and Mcclellan and McClernand
and Mcdowell aud Bartlett and Sigel
and Palmer and Rosecranz and Williams
and Corse and scores of others of the
best and bravest of the war, among
whom the world doesn't reckon General
Logan.
The amount of defalcations under
President Grants Administration has
been, by postmasters, 1878, ,371; by mar
shals, $249, ,26O; by sundry public officers,
$265.713, by collectors of internal reye-
uue, $2,312, ,544; by navy officers, $685.
208; by army officers, $784, ,553, etc. total
number of defaulters, 649; total of defal-
cations, $500, ,595.
The Fagblaat and VolEestreand, the
only two German papers in Northern
Indiana, amt Republican any more.
They have hoisted the Democratic flag
and are enthusiastic for TildeR and
Hendricks and reform.

New YORK Sun: Mr.. Hayes and his
friends of the American Alliance, who
are so anxious to exlude all foreign born
citizens from the suffrage. evidently for
get that an Englishman, Slater, founded
the first cotton mill in the United States,
that but for German immigrants some of
the most prosperous Western common
wealths would yet be thinly settled ter
ritories, and that but for the labor of the
Irish many of our railroads and other
public works of national utility would
not have been built.

their estimates for running the Govern
ment, $25, ,425, ,69S over theappropriations
of last year. They asked for $203, ,099, OPS,
or nearly million dollars as day-an ex-
penditure nearly on the scale of that
of war times The House cut them down
to $120,611, ,871, and would have kept
them down to $109, ,244, $50 if it had not
been for the obstinacy of wasteful
Senate. As it was, in spite of the resist
ance of the Senate, the Democratic
House cut dowrsthe Republican estimates
$50, $50, $50. In others words, the Dem
ocratic House save the taxpayers of the
country $151, ,725 a day, for year to
come; 81 ,065, OLA week for year to
come; $4,615,054 month, for year to
come. This is the work of The Demo.
cratic party in one year in Congress. In
two years of Democratic administration
in New York, the taxes have been re-
duced one-half. The Democracy is the
party for hard times.
NEW YORK Sun: The Herald does
not think the letter which Mr.. Alfred E.
Lee, private Secretary of Governor
Hayes, wrote to the American Alliance
on July 10, indicates any commitment
of Hayes to the ideas and policy of the
Alliance. 1t was q mere courteous act
says our contemporary, and nothing else
But what does the Herald understand by
the promise which Governor Hayes de,
sired Mr.. Lee to make in his behalf that
sat the proper time references will be
given you to committees for such aid and
cooperation as seems to be advisable ??
If this does net promise that Mr.. Hayes
will act with the Alliance, and will OBJ
tain for it material aid and comfort, what
does it mean? If it does not prove that
Mr.. Hayes is entirely in accordance with
the purposes of this Nothing
league, what does it prove? The polite
ness requisite in a gentleman does moi
promise money and assistance to any as
sociation that he disasproves.' Perhap,
our contemporary can explain its expla
