THE 1UTY OF VOTERS.

1t Is d1fncut 10 comprehend now any man
| Of sense and intelligence, who is not hide
| bound partisan, can review the results of the
Democratic campaign and vote for TuDES
and HENDRICKS. What hos that campaign,
! now SO near its close, developed? What
have the Democrats given the country that
can be accepted as a promise of change or an
omen of bettering the existing condition of
things ? From the time they constructed
their platform until now, they have, parrot
like, repeated and rung the changes upon
IS Reform, but Of what that Reform is to
consist they have not told us. In examin-
ing their arguments. speeches, documents,
letters, bulletins, and prouunciamentos,
which have been as thick as the leaves in
Va1lombrosa the most that we can discover
is that the TuDEN idea of Reform means the
furnishing Of offices for mob of hungry
Democratic and Confederate politicians,
whosenationa1 sins and crimes have kept them
ont of Office for the last sixteen years. In all
their mulhtudinous appeals they have
shown us nothing which promises to make
times better, to improve the finances, to re-
duce taxation, or to retrench expenses. Not
withstanf1ing their control Of the last Con-
gress, they failed to reduce the burden of
taxation. If they have saved any money 1t
must be applied, in case Of their success, to
the payment Of the hungry Southern claim
ants,-the only assurance that it will not be
SO applied being the tricky words of des-
perate candidate on the eve of election, the
force of which is nullided by his own decla-
ration in his letter Of acceptance, that tex
perience has shown the futility of self-im-
posed restrictions upon candidates" In alI
the Development Of their plans and purposes
since last July, they have failed to show how
they are going tc make money more plenty,
what they are going to do with tho green
backs, whether they are in favor of specie
resumption or not, whether money is
to be better, or poorer, or more,
or less. Looking at the Northern
side Of the campaign, which is inspired and
dominated BY Tammany Hall, We do not see
how any intelligent person can. receive as
surances of Reform, since plunder, theft,
corruption, and the spoils-system have al
ways been the policy Of Tammany. Can
any right-minded person see anything in the
conduct Of the Southern campaign, with its
South Carolina and Mississippi plans, its
violent outrages and murderous trays, its
terrorism, intimidation, and prescription, its
Rifle Clubs, White Liners, and Ku-Klrx
Nans, to give assurance that the Confed-
erates viii inaugurate any reform if they
obtain control of the Government? Taking

art of making life moral and government
perfect; that Buddhism prepares the devotee
for life to come where there is neither
hell nor heaven; and that Tauism doea
nothing more than to teach methods Of pro-
