EDITORIAL NOTES.

Inc prcQlctlOn OF Uen. UeOTRe, cnalr-
man of the Democratic Executive Com;
mittee of Mississippi, that the Democrats:
will carry that state-troops orno hoops:
by fifty thousand majority, Is unpalass.
Etable to the Republican thieyesit issstrue,
but then, you know, turn about is fair
play. The rogues have had complete
control of. that State until the last elec-
ton, and honest men must have show
ing now. Don't codnt that;state doubt
fal any more. more.----------.,-.-,----.-.-...----,;
The Boston Herald is very correct in
its estimate eatiina ii IF Tie Tie Republican party
when it says that the only hope Of the
working class lies III change Of national
administration. This party has brought
the working man to the point of starva-
ton by its utter disregard Of the interests
| of labor. Underit government factories
and mines are eitheridle. or on half time,
| wages are reduced and the business of
the land paralyzsd. "A change in the
administration will reform abuses, revive
| commerce and business and restore con-
fidence. This will benefit all classes of
our citizens, but especially; our working
men. 80! :! l,.,,l-o ~ +.:-;i; si,i. 81.
Attorney General Taft has issued an an
order to United States Marshals instruct
ing them thatthey'andttheir Deputies are
supreme in their districts and have a
right to call for the entire militia, from.
Governor down, and, take command Of
them, together with the United States
troops, when they think it necessary to
prevent intimidation and secure freedom
| in elections. The order is in the interest
of the bloody shirt campaign, but is
most dangerous and tyranical policy,
General Taft may yet be convinced that
he is no law.giveri and that these instruc-
tions are bruten tulnsen. tito
Carl Schurz is using his uttermost en-
deavors to secure the German vote of
Ohio for Hayes, but it is up hill work
this time. An. exchange thinks he cam
not accomplish anything without Grant
can give him troops to intimidate the.
Germans, and saysAif the Republicans
| are paying him AT the old rate they are
losing money this time, he finds it quite
different in his attempt. to induce them
to vote for Hayes against reform from
what he did to secure their votes for
Hayes against reckless initiation move
ment. The Germans favor reform, and
they regard Samuel J. Tilden as the
greatest reformef of the age.
The Baltimore Gazette says: "The
National banks which subscribed SO lib
Eerally for Grant in the Greeley campaign
| decline to respond to the appeals of
Zach. Chandler for Hayes and Wheeler.
They are beginningto find out that the
bloody shirt policy does not pay" This
| is but an illustration of the common say
ing that men don't like to bet on the
losing horse Capitalists have come to
two conclusions with regard to Mr..
Hayes: First, that if elected he cannot
reform the gang of public thieves who
| control him, and hence his election
would be curse to the Nation: second,
that if he could reform his party he can
not be elected. It is but reasonable for
them to withhold their gifts from SO
unpromising candidate.
The Democratic Convention of New
York met in Saratoga last week and nom
mated Hon. Horatio Seymour for Gov
ernor and Hon. VIM. Dorsheimer for
Lieut.: Gov. The committee appointed
to notify Mr.. Seymour of his nomination
telegraphed his acceptance, and the Con-
vention adjourned. Mr.. Seymour says
he never accepted and will not do so.
This places the Democrats of New York
without leader, and it is expected the
Convention will be re- assembled at an
early day. This action of the Democracy
will injure the canvass in the empire
State, we feaT, if Gov. Tilden is not able
to take vigorous command of his forces.
The action of Governor Seymour in not
consenting to run is not the embodiment
of principle by any means, even if his
health is too feeble to admit of a canvass.
His name might have remained upon the
ticket, and he could have served after
being elected. .. :
Governor Chamberlain it seems has
given up canvassing our State, as he was
in Washington last Monday, and, in COM
pany with Honest John Patterson, who
thinks there are FIVE years more of good
stealing in this State, called on the Pres
ident and his Cabinet to beg again for
troops. He represents that there are
eight or ten counties in this State where
Republicans are intimidated, and appre-
tensions are entertained that many of
them will not be allowed to vote. If
there ever was any doubt that Chamber
lain and Patterson understand each other
it must be dispelled now. IF Chamber
lain is reelected the State will most GER
tainly continue in the hands of the rotten
crew who have despoiled and disgraced
her for eight years past. Decent men of
South Carolina cannot vote for man
who has SO wantonly maligned and ira
dpced our people.
