THE POPULAR MAJORITY.
Tho Democrats are disposed to lay grent
stress upon tho popular majority with which
Mr.. Tu.pEN is accredited on the aggregate
Of the roturns % they wero actually cast.
Some Of them 60 SO far az to say TINT he has
received larger popular majority thau ANY,
body who ever run for President. This ~
sheer nonsense. To 60 no further back than
tho last thrco Presidential elections we find
that L1SconN'a popular majority over Nc
CLE11AN was 407 ,342, GnAS7's over SEYMOUR
305, ,456, and GnANr's over GnEalEY 7G2,99l.
TMpEs's popular majority al returned will
not reach 100000. OF conrse the popular
majority cuts no figure in tho election, which
depends upon tho majority in tho Electoral
College, but we protest against the ass,.mp-
tion that tho apparent popular majority
which TtLDEN lAs received should carry any
weight with it, for tho simple reason TINT ho
would not have Ind it if there had been full,
free, mud fair election in the Southern States
where tho bulk Of this majority was Oh
tained,
It is needless to deny that tho Republicans
havo lost large part of the enormous ma
jority which they have commanded ever
since tho War began. Tho elections two
ycnrs ago showed this. At tho recent cleo
ton some Of tho lost ground was regaincd,
hut yet many Republicans voted for T11pEa,
some in protest against certain corrupt clio.
laents in tho Republican party, and some
mialel by the aIrewd reputation for reform
Which had boen spread in hebalf Of TtLDEN.
At tho aamo time tho apparent majority Of
tho popular vote which TtLpES las received
does not In my honest sense represent the
popular sentiment Of tho country, because
it includes exaggerated majorities iu
States whera citizens aro kept from
expressing their own free will at the polls
by ,noans Of threats, actual violence, per-
aecution, business pressure, social ossrncisn,
md intimidation and influences of various
kinds. In tie peaceful communities OF tho
North, where every man votes ns no pleasea,
we havo NO adequate idea Of the terrorism
exercised In the Southern States, though the
evidence of the inAunan conduct of tho
Louisiana Regulators which tho Returning
Board Of TINT ssato is taking is beginning 10
cntighten tho people.
An analyzation Of TrIpEs's Southern vote
will ahow how little weight Is to be attached
to tho Democratic claim Of q largo popular
majority. ln Georgia, where tho blacks
were put down savoral yeara ago, tho Demo-
cratic minority OF $1,000 would bo ro-
dncet, to 10000 or $4,000 it the
negroes could vote as they desire.

have generally bred after the dam less closely

with white feet with star and snip In her face about fl
teen hands high sired by American Star Dexter there

through his dam and granddam, while his brother, Dc
nearly colorng after Hambletonian and de-
void of the markings still has the same slope from
