BLAINE oN THE PKoCLAMATIoN.-
In an interview with New York
Herald reporter regarding the Presidents
proclamation, James G. Blaine said he
could not see how the President could
possibly have done otherwise without
violating his Constitutional obligations
and abandoning large class of voters to
violence and outrage. 1t is not pre-
tended by anyone" said Blaine, " that a
single Democrat desiring to vote for
Wade Hampton in South Carolina will
be prevented from exercising that privi-
lcge by the Presidents proclamation,
but thousands Of Republicans who would
otherwise have been intimidated from
voting for Chamberlain will now do so
under the assurance of adequate protec-
ton" Some have feared that the Pro-
clamation might have prejudiced the
Republican cause in the Moth. M.
Blaine had no such apprehension. The
American people love courage and JUS
tice and the President has shown both in
issuing his proclamation.

LUTTRELL is accused of making nu-
merous misstatements, but he seems to
be engaged in making a peculiarly ag-
gressive canvass, and believes he is JUS
tilted in making any number of misstate-
ments to justify his aggressive attitude.
He seems to have perfect bonanza of
check, for if he is caught lalsifying the
record by deliberately msstating facts,
and dcmagogism, he does not pretend to
deny the accusation, but goes right along
making his reckless diabolicNl statements.
Ii he did not believe the people were min
compoops and political imbecilcs, he
would not dare to conduct the canvass in
this way; but this is what he thinks,
and indeed it is the only hope he has of
success. S0idno Republican.

a SAMPLE ARGUMENT.

Mr.. Tilden was elected Governor
He at once began to look into the conduct
OF public affairs, and by cutting Gil use
less expenses here and there reduced tax
alton in the State of New York nearly
fifty per cent"
Such is the substance Of a statement
made by Hon. Barclay Henley in the
meeting here last week If this state
ment were literally true it would be an
argument in favor of Mr.. TiIden's cleo
ton very hard to controvert. 1t would
be simply unanswerable.
"Now then les see," what are the
facts how much foundation Mr.. Henley
had for making the statement. NONE,
whatever. Mr.. 11iden never 8ayed q
doiiaI in the way of taxation to the peo-
pie Of New York. How are the true fig
ures ?
In 1915 the State tax ofNew York was
six mills, divided as follows Schools II
mills; general purposes, rs mills; bounty
debt, 2 mills; canal debt, 1Is mills !;
N"'ihi "Nhlb~i 10 IIill QcItltItN ana
asylums II 20 mills. This year The levy
for schools and general purposes is the
same, but the bounty debt is 50 near
paid off that Is required only tax of q
mill TO pay it. Therefore Mr.. Tilden
saves nothing-the taxes are nearly
fifty per cent lower because the bounty
debt Of over $4,000, 900 has been all
paid off under the four years of Republi-
can rule except about three fourths Of a
million dollars. The claims of Mr.. Til
den and his friends that he has reduced
taxation to the extent of fifty per cent,
are totally false and without any founda-
ton whatever. This is fair sample of
Democratic argument. 1t is only through
misrepresentation that they can hope to
succeed and they follow it up with a per-
istence worthy OF better cause.

DEMOCRATIC CEoAKING.-The Demo-
Gratis claim that with Democracy in pow
er there would be an end Of hard times.
This promise was made in New York in
!S7i. Tilden has been the Governor Of
that State since that time, yet the times
are worse in New York than ever before.
Even the Long Island fisherman who de-
ertcd General Dix because he only
c'ught one eel in his pot has resolved to
vote the Republican ticket because even
that one eel is denied him now. Demo-
3" acJ has ms much control over hard
times as the bnllfrog has over the tides.
j 'th may cr, ak, but the tide ri-es and
tall the same as ever.-RepU6iic.

GEN. THOMAS EWING. the eminent

to have remarked to friend recently /:
81 am utterly discouraged. The fact is
1 have lost confidence. 1 will go furth-

since the St. Louis Convention. Tilden
is deceit and a fraud. and have no
idea that the people of the North will
tolerate him."

MUST BE DEFEATKD.-If the country
is to enjoy peace in the future Democra-
cy must be defeated. If the nation is TO
live and grow, the enemy of its peace
and prosperity must be defeated, The
humbiest citizen has vital interest at
stake in keeping the Government out Of
the hands Of those who have no sympa-
thy for its principles of freedom and
equality. Let all who value good gov
ernment work increasingly for the sue
cess of the Republican ticket. Our ma
ional salvation depends upon it.

SENATOR BooTH, in late interview,
said chat he thinks Hayes will be elected +,
but he relies mainly on New York for
his success-aud his information is that
the Republicans will have it by $4,000 to
10000 m jority. The question of close
vote is a grave one and he can only
hope that the vote in favor of Hayes if
possible, Of Tilden if necessary, will give
so large a majority that there will be no
contested question at issue"

THE Two PARTIEs.-The Democratic
party says the Republic is confederacy;
the Republican party says that 1t is ma
ton. Tilden represents the confederate
idea, Hayes the national idea. To vote
for the former is to indorse the rebellion,
while to vote for the latter is to indorse
the justice Of its suppression.

WHAT IT BELIEVES IN.-The Repub-
lican party believes in free thought and
free labor. 1t is the champion OF human
rights, and has done more for the sub
stantial advancement ofliberty and civil
izaton than all other parties together
1t believes in the church ana school
house as the best dcienscs of the Repub-
lie. 1t is the party OF right, justice and
truth. To defeat SO grand power for
good would be an net Of national suicide.

COMPARATIVE CosT.-The fact that
the recent session of Congress, with two
exceptions, was the longest on record was
entirely due to the attempt of the Demo-
cratic majority of The House to manumc-
ture political campaign material. Not
one single measure of Legislation favora-
bly, affecting the business interests and
prosperity Of the country resulted from
this long session. Finance and tariff bills
were smothered in committee, or action
was postponed until next session, while
the time was devoted to partisan nyesti-
g7tons. What this has cost the tax
payers Of the country can be seen in the

penditures on account Of Congress for

4 HEALTH THROUGH PRAYER-RESPECT-
A Detroit special to the St. Louis 'sGlobe-
Democrat" says:
A letter is published to-day from E. S.
Warren, pastor of one of the Methodist
churches of this city, which makes these
remarkable statements Mrs. Williams Of
this city, daughter of J. G. FL. Woodruff
is 80 years old and has been a widow about
IL years. For Is years She has been out of
health, for'9 years under a doctors care,
for the last 10 months she has not been
able to walk, and for months she could
not sit up in bed. So rapidly was she sink
ing that her friends deemed her speedy de-
mise certain, and for three days before the
event we record she suffered acute pain
which her emaciatel body seemed scarcely
able to bear.
On Monday, the 18th Of December, she
felt impressed to pray for her immediate
the gift of health. She realized at once
that her bodily ailments, which were many
were given away, and in a few moments
she was able to sit up and read her Bible
Her whole system seemed to undergo a
change. Her appetite Immediately re-
turned. Next morning she dr. essed her.
self, on the Thursday evening following
was at prayer meeting, and Ola that Sab
bath was at church three times, and ever
since has seemed to lie entirely well. She
walks and rides about the city, and is able
to attend to her household duties. From
illness, through emaciation, she has be
come very weak, but she has been gaining
in strength every day. Her physician, DR.
Weber, member OF the Central 'Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, says that her re-
cOvery cannot be attributed to human
skill, but 10 the prayer Of faith.

AN UNWHOLESOME PROPOSE
TION

We learn that there is a proposition be-
ing'discussed, for the city to open a street
through the DeNAGHE property, which it
purchased for water-w works, and lay off lots
on either side of it and sell them. We
trust that the Water Committee will cast
the weight of their opinion against any
such scheme. fraught as it is with the
gravest dangers to our people. Ehe DRAIN
age from populated selvage of land along
the stream would render the water too
filthy for use, and breed disease through
the whole city. We do not mean the sew
age which of course would not be turned
in, but the natural drainage. And, aside
from this, the existence of our water
works depends upon the growth of trees
around it. The whole of our property
there should be at once planted with trees,
which will preserve the springs from. dry
ing up. 1t is an exact fact of science that
sweeping away the growth around water
heads accomplishes in time drying them
up, and we have too much money invested
out there not to use all the means in our
power to prevent such catastrophe. We
are content with calling attention to tie
danger, feeling assured that those i'll ali
thority will recognize it without further
explanation. The best plan for the city is
to lay out park around the water-works,
which is the general custom, and plant it
thickly with trees.
