The Tribune: The second month of the
campaign is nearly gone, and not a shadow Of
blot has been discovered in Gov. Hayes
record. A little mud has been thrown, but
not particle oft has stuck, and the mud
machines have been'permanently retired.
Gov. Noyes gives the latest and best version
of the "bloody shirt" in his speech at Buffalo
the other evening: swell, gentlemen, it was
no disgrace to Rutherford B. Hayes to wear
the bloody shirt when Democratic bullet
went crushing through his blood and bone,
and broken arm hung by his side as he led
his brave boys on"
somebody suggests that as Tilden and
Hendricks cannot honestly vote together, on
account of opposing sentiments, they ought
to pair off on election day.
Copperheads to the front is still their cry.
The Democratic papers in Kentucky are rec
ommending their candidate for Congress in
the Ninth District because of "the bold stand
he took in 1858, when it was dangerous for
man to oppose the party in power" Loyal
men know what that means.
Twenty thousand Republicans are already
enrolled in clubs in California. Mr. Marcus
ID. Boruck, Chairman of the Republican
State Committee, expresses the opinion that
Hayes and Wheeler will carry the state by
5000 majority. He also says: ''There arc no
lndependents>in the State. The Republican
party is fully united; all are in harmony;
there are no malcontents."

Enough of 1t.

The people of this country have Just had
taste of Democratic rule, and it Is pretty
safe to say that they will pass the next half
century in trying to get the taste out of their
mouths. The present House has been the
most prodigal in promises and the most pov-
erty-stricken in performance of any legisla-
tive body which ever assembled in this coun-
try. When its members met they were con-
fronted with questions of currency and taxa
ton, with problems of public policy which
urgently demanded prompt and statesman
like treatment-and they have shirked the
consideration of them all. Their attempt
has been throughout the session to damage
the Republican party, and their failure has
been abject. Needed legislation has been
neglected in order to make party capital, and
no capital has been made.
The session opened with measures on the
party of the majority in the House which
confirmed all the charges of sympathy with
the rebellion and its supporters brought
against the Democracy. Two-thirds of the
committees were given into the control of
Southern men. Nine-tenths of the wounded
Union veterans who had been employed in
the service of the previous House were dis
charged and their places filled with ex-Con-
federates. When the weeks spent in quarrel
Ling over the distribution of spols had passed
and legislation was entered upon. important
subjects of finance and administration were
neglected and an attempt made to qualify for
public Office the few Confederates who obsti-
nately refused to ask for removal Of dis
abilities.
reform were taken up. The committee hav-
ing in charge the tariff were unable TO fix
upon any course to pursue, the chairman de.
string to do one thing, the rest of the COM
mittee another thing, and the majority of the
House nothing-and nothing was done.
Something was done in fnance-and some
thing very bad. The only step yet taken
toward the resumption of specie payments
was retraced, and the Democratic majority
pledged itself to repudation of the national
promise. Neither the President nor the SEN
ate nor the wisest of its own members could
induce the House to pass a measure author
izing such funding as would have resulted in
the annual saving to the government of seven
or eight million dollars of interest money.
Investigations have been carried on. In
one instance and in one only, an investigat-
ing committee has found public officer
guilty of malfeasance. All other inquiries
have resulted in nothing. The investigations

The Present DutY.

Our advices from nearly every part of the
state are of very encouraging character.
Everything now indicates full Republican
vote, and, as the result, splendid Republican
majority the second Monday Of September.
Thus far all the public meetings have not
only been largely attended, but the spirit of
earnestness manifested promises grand re-
suits election day. In this city there has
not been for many years so many favorable
indications of a genuine determination to
fight for victory as there is to-day. The i'm
meDse and enthusiastic meeting held here
Monday night indicated the spirit and pur-
pose not only of Portland Republicans, but
hundreds in the surrounding towns. The
same reports come from Bath and other
points where meetings have been held. The
fact is, the Republicans who had come gradu-
ally to believe that the Democratic leaders
had forsaken their wicked ways and might be
trusted without great danger, have suddenly
Confederate House of Representatives, with
its Infamous record, even when on its good
behavior, has dispelled the Illusion. They
now see that it is the old foe animated by the
same purpose as LIE was dozen years ago.
They see even more than that. They see
that the ascendancy of the Democratic party
means the ascendancy of the Southern lead
ers who in the days of its power dictated the
policy of the organization and cracked the
party whip about the suppliant representa-
tivas from the North
The great mass of the intelligent people of
the North do not desire to be governed by
the Lamars, the Gordons, the Ben Hills, the
Reagans, the fuckers and the M. G. Buffers
of the Confederacy.
That Gov. CoNNoR will be reelected overr
Mr.. Talbot even with the valuable record o
his horse, by largely increased majority,
there is not shadow of doubt. That is not
enough; the Republicans OF Maine should
make the result EMPHATIC.
This cannot all be done by mass meetings,
flag raisings, torch-lights and the like. These
are all useful; but more important and efec-
tive is that quiet and persistent worker who
goes from man to n, and from house to
house, who organizes victory by school dis
tricts. 1t is work of this sort that supple
ments and perfects all other means. We are
confident that ten thousand ardent Republi
cans in the neighborhoods and school dis
tricts of the State will not forget 10 see that
this work is done just as thoroughly as it has
been done when our glorious old State has
given the key note of great national victories
for the party of Freedom.
The Confederates are relying upon this
method. They will leave nothing undcne
which they can do in Maine. They are in
earnest, viglant and wary. They will not do
much in the way of public meetings but their
eager emissaries will be abroad. We must
fight them in their own way.
No campaign in the history Of the nation
was ever more important. We think every in
telligent Republican appreciates this fact.
Let it be impressed upon every patriotic
man.
In brief, Republicans, the duty of the hour
is to ORGANIZE; to WATCH AND
FIGHT!

1t requires great deal of presence of mind
for Philadelphian to look happy when he an

have cost over million dollars, while they
have not shown that cent of the public
funds have been misapproprated.
Last of all an attempt was made to manu-
facture political capital by cutting down ap-
propriations for government expenditures.
1t was loudly proclaimed that forty millio ms
would be saved. After changing laws regu-
lating salaries, after seriously crippling i'm
portant branches of the public service, after
repeating statutes in force for the protection
of the suffrage, they succeeded in making a
nominal reduction of twenty-nine millions.
In reality the reduction was less than ten
millions, and considerably less than the an
nual reductions made by the Republican ad-
ministration since 1860.
Such is the record of the Democratic
House. The longest session for years has
been conspicuous for the neglect OF public
business, and for the sympathy and support
given to rebels and repudiators. The people
have watched it narrowly, and have come to
the conclusion that they desire no more
Democratic rule for the present.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1876-08-17

THE argus wants to know how it happens
that if the appropriations last year were 279
millions (Which, by the way, they were not)
the expenditures of the year were only 25S
millions. That is easy to answer. The Re
publican administration, according to its
wont, has lived within its income, and has
thus been able in the past fiscal year, as in
the preceding years, to pay out of the surplus
of receipts oyer expenditures many dollars of
the national debt. During the year ending
June 80, 1875, it has by wise economy, ac-
quired surplus of over 20 millions of dollars.
The argus ought to know that the appropri-
alton for one Department cannot be drawn
upon for the Use of another, and so it has
happened that Congress has been called upon
to supply slight deficiency, being unable to
lawfully avail itself of the large surplus. The
comparison made by the argus between the
expenditures for 1860 and for 1876 will impose
upon no intelligent reader. According to its
habit it reckons in under the head of 1876
thirty millions paid for pensions. The argus
is particularly bitter against the payment of
pensions 9and loses no opportunity to de-
nounce it as Radical extravaganza. Will it
tell us who made the payment of pensions
necessary?
