The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1876-09-20

Eight members of the next Congress have
been chosen-all Republicans.
Col. M. P. Nolan, lifelong Democrat and
prominent lawyer, of Dayton, Ohio has de.
clared for Hayes. He would have remained
SILENT he says but there is too much at stake.
There is not an original Democrat now on
| the New York Democratic State ticket, and
the Bourbons complain of an oyerpowering
! nausea.
"Blue-jeans Williams, the original fndi-
ana economist, allowed the last Confederate
| House four dozen feather-dusters, which cost
$3.50. The old humbug
| The next election occurs in Georgia, whose
Governor and Legislature will be chosen on
Wednesday, October4. It's Congressman will
be elected in November.
Hayes bleeding upon the field of battle in
defense of his country and Tilden presiding
over Democratic peace committee at Chica-
go in 1864 are two pictures attracting consid-
cradle attention just now.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin says that
within the last eight years it has recorded
the results of nearly seventy-five heavy losses
which have occurred from the presence of
loose matches about workmen's clothes.
The ILLUSTRATED Christian Weekly" for
Sept. 10th, has some very choice pictures of
Chinese curiosities to be seen at the Centen-
NAL, with interesting descriptions of the same
by Rev. Lyman Abbott.
! Talk about "extracting sunshine from Gu
cumbers" The labor is nothing to that the
Democratic arithmetic men are now undergo
ing over the election returns from Vermont
and Maine.
| 1t never occurred in our political history
that such Republican successes as those in
| Vermont and Maine were followed by ma
tional Democratic victory. Nor will they be
this year.
Hon. Henry s. Foots. formerly Democratic
United States Senator from Mississippi, is
now in full accord with the Republican party,
and has been placed on the Tennessee electoral
ticket Parson Bromlow says that he will be
valuable advocate in the campaign.
1t is said that the author Of the already ex-
ploded income-tax assaults on Gov. Hayes in
the Toledo Sunday Democrat, was Gen. James
r. Steedmar, who is himself a defaulter to
the Government to the amount of over $780,
600. "Reform p

is after Mr.. Tilden with a shaIp stick. 1t
recently gave his income in 1862, specifying
the items and amounts. The total footing
shows $10S,000. Making all lawful and rea-
sonable deductions it places his taxable in
come in 1862 at $4,000. Yet Mr.. Tilden
made oath that he only received 81, 11S.
The election in Colorado on the 10th of Oc-
tober will have an uncommon interest, from
the fact that the Legislature then chosen will
elect two United States Senators, and also the
lt.1 IL llxG A0k1 Nc
is1ature of South Carolina before the war
elected the States Presidential electors.
| The average Democratic editor wishes now
that he had not said, on the day following the
Maine election, that if the Republican major
ity had been 16, 600 it would have been a seri-
GUS thing for the Democracy. He did not sus-
pect that the later returns would make the
vote so large, and thus catch him in his own
! trap.
FREE SPEECH Republican meetings are
held under disadvantageous circumstances in
many of the Southern States. The Demo-
Gratis have peculiar rule which they enforce.
They take half the time of the meeting for
their speakers, and they insist that the Re-
pubcans shall say nothing against Demo-
cracy the other half. This is what is called
free speech in Mississippi and South Carolina.
VERY ENcouRAeINa.-The Democrats are
trying to figure out gain in the recent Yer
mont election. They boast of having made
a gain of fifty per cent. in one town. lnves-
tigation discioses the fact that out of 3S5 votes
cast three were for the Democratic ticket. As
they had but two votes last year they have
gained just fifty per cent This looks en-
couraging.
