A man named Knapp was arrested at Liver
more Saturday, on charge of robbing Mr.. j.
A. johnson. 1t will be remembered johnson,
who is a drover, had been to Portland last
Thursday, and sold some cattle, receiving about
$1700 therefor. On his way home, and when
within half mile of his house, at Lvermore
Falls, he was knocked down and robbed. He
remained iDsensible three or four hours, when
he revived sufficiently to arouse the neighbors,
and was taken home. He still remains in a
critical condition. Knapp coIfesses to the rob-
berry, and states there were two accomplices
with him.

al election and session of the Legisla
ture. Under the new Constitution, col
ored people are required to pay capita
ton tax, and all capitation taxes go tc
school purposes.
The facts l have cited, showing the
condition of the country, and the affairs
of the government and their manage
ment, the corruption and extravaganza
that reigns in every department, the
financial depression and distress, the
shrin kage of values, reduction OF wages,
stoppage of mills, mines and factories,
and people without employment, furnish
strong reasons why there should be n
change in the administration OF the
government.
The continuance for long time Of q
political party in power, has tendency
of itself to encourage corruption, which
can only be remedied by .ange.
1t is an historical fact, that the various
panics and periods OF financial depres-
SION that have prevailed in the country,
commencing with 1887 and since, have
only been remedied and prosperity re-
stored, by change OF administration.
And it seems to me that all classes, far
mers, bankers, merchants, manutactu-
rers, and laborers generally, should take
warning from examples OF history and
past experience, and in the coming cleo
lion strive to bring about change in
the administration, which, il does not
entirely, will tend more than any other
cause or event, to restore confidence IN
business affairs and prosperity to the
whole country. Should the present pol
lev continue, and there be no change in
the next tour years, all business must alb.
soutely stop, and financial ruin and dis
aster overtake us as people and ma.
ton.

purest statesmen of the present age
nobody questions either his ability OF
integrity, and all agree that he is emil
nently fitted for the high office tor
which he is nominated.
The Candidates of the Republican Party
1t is well known that Gov. Hayes
was nominated by the influence OF the
President and the especial friends OF
his administration, and if elected gives
no promise that he will make any
change in the policy of the Republican
party. The same influences that con-
troll now will control then, and all
hope of economy, reform, retrench-
ment, change in the administration OF
public affairs and our financial policy,
will be defeated.
Our State Affairs.
The Democratic party in their last
State Convention, did well in making
their nominations. The State ticket
headed by Attorney General Mathews
for Governor, was selected with great
unanimity, and well distributed
throughout the State. 1t is composed
OF gentlemen of high character and
ability, who will, am confident, re-
fleet great credit upon the State in the
discharge of their duties.
Feeling that these and other gentle
men of the Democratic party will thor
oughlv discuss the affairs OF the State
and defend their management, will.
refer to them only briefly and in
general way.
The condition of the State when
compared with that OF others, notwith-
standing the general distress that pre-
walls, is encouraging. The debt inner
tied from the Republican party in 1871
has been paid, and the State is entirely
out OF debt, with surplus in the treas
ury. Our people have stood the effects
OF the panic as well as those OF any
other State.
Taxation
Is very low compared with other States.
The State and County Taxes are among
the lowest in the Union. In some
of the States they reach as high as 3 to
4 per cent; ours average less than |
per cent. In this connection | desire
to submit a table prepared from OIL
cial sources and incorporated i'll some
remarks made during the last cam

CONCLUDED
Condition of the South

Is improving generally though under
the most adverse circumstances and the
hostility OF the administration. Where
ever the Democratic party has control,
peace, law, and order prevail, and pros
perity is dawning; where ever the Re-
publican party has control or is dlsput-
ing for ascendency everything is IN
chaos and confusion, lawlessnasS and
violence prevail, and prosperity is re-
tarded, carpet bag tyranny, and baynnet
rule have nearly destroyed some of the
States, loaded them with hopeless debt.
The legally elected Legislature OF
Louisiana was overturned by Federal
bavonets, and usurpers substituted and
sustained by military power.
Mississippi and other States have
also felt the weight Of Federal bayonets
in their affairs. The President recon-
mended policy, which II Congress
had not disapproved, it would have
overturned the Government OF Arkan-
sas. Generally the power OF the Gov
eminent has been exerted in the south
To- intimidate Democratic votes and
prevent the success of the Democratic
party. Since the adjournment of Con
gress, the Secretary of War issued an
order to the General of the army, to
hold all available troops readyto 60 to
the South in case OF any disturbance,
which will certainly be brought about
by some carpet Dagger, so as to furnish
a subterfuge for the presence OF the
troops and the intimidation OF the
white people. Notwithstanding these
IMPRESSIONS and Outrages, the
people are trying to do their
duty, improve their ruined fortunes,
build up waste places, and are obe-
dent to law and authority. This fact
is supported by all impartial testimony.
In all this we see the strongest tenden-
CIV towards Capitalization OF power IN
the General Government which is the
policy of the Republican party, and has
been particularly fostered by President
Grant, not only in the South, but else
where. In his message recently to the
House on the River and Harbor bill, he
undertakes to say he will only execute
such portions of the law contained IN
the bin us may suit his views. This is
the boldest assumption OF power ever
attempted by q President in this coun-
try. -,
The following tables and figures will
give some idea of the condition OF
affairs in South Carolina and louisiana
under carpet-bag rule as compared
with other times.
From the report on affairs in the
late insurrectionary states, we have

are certainly enough doubtful ones,
headed by Indiana, to make II up.
Our Candidates.
The cause OF the Democracy is the
cause of the people and the cause OF
reform, and our candidates are thor
oughlv identified with both.
Gov. Tilden is a man OF acknowiedg,
Ell ability, high character, large and
mature experience in public atfalrs-he
has been recently tried in Il great field,
Governor OF the Empire State, and has
shown himself not only to be great
statesman, with great executive ability,
but the champion of retrenchment and
reform. He found the State OF New
York LETT by the Republican party with
tax OF Sl6,0O0,0 900 per annum, which
in two wears he reduced to less than
S9,OOO,000. Since he has been Governor
he has waged constant war against
corruption and rings, having utterly
DESTROYED the New York City and Ca
nal rings, and inaugurated economy
and reform in every branch of the
State government. He has shown such
capacity for administration and gov
eminent, that if elected to the Presi-
dency no one doubts but he will he the
President without aid from any one.
He enioys the confidence of his
neiohborS and those who know him
best. and has given evidence OF great
strength and popularity in his own
State, having defeated for Governor
Gen. Dix, the strongest Republican III
