Republican speeches in Indiana and
Ohio, and the people give them hearty

Governor Hendricks appears in a new
role-that of a humorist. He is saying
that the Vermont and Maine elections
were Democratic victories. A few
more such, and where would be be?-
Springfield Republican.
The Brooklyn Argus, anti-Tilden
in answer toa correspondent who So
Tcits an opinion in the matter, expresses
a helief that Brooklyn will cast about
three thousand Democratic votes for
Hayes and Wheeler.
Perhaps the best answer to the asseT-
ton that Hon. Carl Schurz has With
drawn or been withdrawn from the can
yass is the fact that he will address Re
publican meetings in Ohio every day
this week, as follows: Stuebenville,
Monday; Bellair, Tuesday GAINESVILLE,
Wednesday Marietta, Thursday

A Democratic music dealer in Pitts
field, Mass, recently sent an order to a
New York publishing house to send him

Mr.. Fl. 0. Brigham, of Oakland, Cali
fornia, is paying Burlington a brief visit.
Mr. Brigham has been a member of the
California Republican State committee
for many years. His opinion is that the
Republicans will carry the State by
from 5000 to 10000 majority, and that
they have at least an even chance of car
rying Oregon and Nevada.
Democratic ''reform" means simply
to use words which are well understood,
and not for needless offense-a union of
rebels and copperheads for the admins
tration of the government which was
saved from their conspiracy, and for the
enforcement of constitutional amend

Gov. Tilden; 81 would be willing to

Tie keQpet2c Journal publishes a
private letter from Florida, which says
of The Deaiaorale: 81 have listened all

The Boston Herald has got down off
the fence, put on its armor, loaded up
all its armament, and is firing and
fighting all it knows for Tilden,
Adams and reform. 1t seems to have
adopted Frank Birds desperate recipe
that the only way to reform the Repub-

how about the other fellows? Wen all
agree that the Republican party ought
to be defeated, but ought the Demo-
cratic party to be victorious We are
Darwinian in politics-we believe Ia
the survival Of the fttest and the doc
