The St. Loui. Globe Democrat predicts that there
will be larger republican gains in Missouri than
in any other State voting in November.
1t is singular that the great State OF New York
cannot furnish laborers for repairing the canals,
discovered to be in terrible condition SINCE Til
dens canvass began, but they have to be brought
in from other States.
Let it not be forgotten that Samuel J. Tilden
the man who, according to the sworn testi-
mony of Cakes Ames, drew up the notorious
Credit Mobiler scheme, which brought such dis
grace upon the nation.
Gov. Tilden is credited with saying that if he
can't carry this State he will move out of it
Judging from present indications, he is trying to
save his residence by moving the entire floating

la his Rock Hin speech Gen. Wade Hampton
said "When the 9TH Of November comes, the old
flag of South Carolina viii be seen ruling South

give significance to this elevation of the old pal

by elecing Tilden who believes in the sovereign

One Of the democratic orators at a meeting in
this state lately, said that the republicans had col
lected S4,200,000000 of revenue, had expended
sjO0,000,000 in the reduction of the debt, and the
balance (S3, 700 600 000) had all been stolen! lie

were borne But then what would become of
democratic eloquence AID democratic logic if such
little discrepancies as this are commented on -

The New York Tribune referring to that city
and Brooklyn, says
The evidences of contemplated fraud are ve1y
strong; strong enough, at any rate, to warrant

activity. The registration thus far in Brookly n

cause United States troops are to be sent into
their State to secure a fair election. and at the
same time are confessing that they are glad the
troops are coming because their presence will

contend that the presence of the troops ought
not to be injurious to the democracy. because the
troops will simply prevent fraud and violence. to

not resort and will, besides, enforce that obedi-
