TEE DASG.Rs Or pExo RACY


To-norrows great event vii. de-
eide whether We are 70 have . per-
petustion Of the plan Of government
iasugura,ed by the Republican party
or . revcrsiou e. the rusty doctrinss or
of the past. What those rusty doc.
trines are it is Importation voters At
this particular time to consider. They
embrace everything that Is in oppn>i-
ton O. the advancement of.he y asses
OF the people. They are sntagou,s,ic
to the public schools, without which
We would he assured Of our liberties
no longer than = generation. They
are calculated to produce internicine
disruption by fostering the peruici-
Gus belief that this Is simply an assn
ciaiiou Of States for common good,
and not a nation indissoluble. They
are calculated to rstard the restnra-
ton Of harmony and ante bsllum
prosperity in the South by /. stout
and direct opposition to the plan
adopted to secure that end, and car
ried out since the close of the war.
They are antipodal and dan gsrous
to the constitutional amendments
which proceeded from the war aud
which have set this government on a
higher plane Of humanity. and on
altogether = safer basis than ever be-
fore. or than any in the world. All
these political doctrines. which had
their birth in a period when the gov
eminent vas in . process Of develop
ment. and which are now 10 their
nature retrosrsasive, still linger in
the bosom of the Democracy. They
will liuger there until a, least the
war generation shall have passed
away Un,il then Democratic
restoration must be attended with
danger. Voters should think Of
this tomorrow.

THE NONGREL PAK1Y.

The party which put the ticket in
the deld nov 10 opposition to the
Republican ucke. in this county
is made up of Democrats, sors-head
Republican,. neutrals - men who
never had any politics aud Who are
always eager for . chsnye-joined
with such chronic Office seekers and
disappointed politicians as we're
living around loose when the party
vas organized. The ticket which
WIS pu, in the fsld is fair sample
of the whole BODY. Itn heterogens-
ous, inconsistent weak and unsatis-
factory. 1t combines oil the elements
that CEN poss the party from which
/. smanatsd. Democrats of long
standing, who are Democrats on
principle and can tell you why they
are such, openly express their dis
satisfaction with the fusion their
party submitted TO, and are ready to
supper, the Republican nominees.
The convention that met in Dayton
and went through the form Of adopt
ing 3 platform and making nonina-
tons Was the most farcical political
affair that We have ever seen. There
Vas no confederation whatever for
the needs Of the csun,y and there
vas DO discretion used in selecting
men. In soae eases the most undis-
tinguished men proposed the names
Of candidates wholly or partly un-
known to the convention, and they
were unaninousiy nominated 1t
was 90 diAeuls ~ End men to acce ut
nominations a, oil that the xssem bl cd
body were put to their trump cards
TO complete the ticket. Any one
Who made application could receive
. nomination. And this is the ticket
that citizens will be asked to vote to-
morrow in place of the Republican
ticket. which has been prepared
carefully aud With . sole view To the
public welfare.

ouR ASSEMBLY xonlxEEs.

The seleesioss The Rspsblicas
party has made 10 repeessas this
cosnsy IN the Assembly are all men
of startling character. They have
been chosen with . view to their
special fitness. and with . eloss re-
gard for the welfare OF the people.
The Convention recognised the ne
csssi,y for slevating the standard of
our Legislature, and pursued .
csurss with that end in view. Ali
the nominees are not only men Of
ability aad strength of character. but
% we'll known to osr people that
they can be fully trusted with the
duties that will naturally fall into
their hands If elected. The Aoagrel
nominees are the accidents of con-
vsn,iea the integral parts Of which
seemed themselves accidents and
which did no, at oil coalesce. They
were not selected With . view TO
their special or general qualifications
Ut all. What they have to recon-
mend them 10 voters has not yet

believe, holds an inch OF real estste

he has the prestige Of = somewhat

W, be. boy, ed has been in the
State only q sAor' while. How he
could understand the needs OF = con-
stituency, or how he could vote IN
ders.andingly on any measure that
might arise in the Assembly touch

the State, is no, easy TO see. The
eonpsnion nominees with Mr..
Banks have the advantage OF

county than be, but that 10 oil that

IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER.

Before voting Tomorrow electors
should remember that the candidate
for the Senate on the Mongrel ticket
10 . Democrat, Who would not, who
could not, rapport . Republican as
the successor of J. a. Jones in the
T.. 8. Senate. Should Jones be u
candidate for reelection himself, as
against some Democrat, W. J. West
srfeld, il elected, would surely be
compelled to support the nominee Of
his party. Who 10 that nominee
likely 10 bet Possibly Harry I. Thorn.
ton Of San Francisco. or his Law part
ner, John I. CARRIER of the same
place.
Republicans who will vote for
HAYES tomorrow should be Consist
ent enough to vote also Cor Tom
Wren for Congress and for the Re
publican nominees for the State
Senate, in order to insure Republi-
can Congress to cooperate with
Hayes in his administration OF the
government 1t is ~ important to
have the right sort Of Congress NJ
to have the right sort of President.
No Republican can vote for Hayes
and At the same time pave the way
for . Democratic majority in the
national legislature and be consistent.
Republicans who do 50 are blind to
the interests which they claim to es-
pouse or are stupidity perverse. They
nay scratch the ticket - much ss
they please below the Senatorial
nominee and not stultify them selves,
but they cannot faltsr when the Office
has a national significance. No Re-
publican who claims to be = worthy
and reliable party man will do 30.
And even if all things else we're
easAl. Mr.. Davenport, the Republic
can nominee for the State Senate, is
superior in legislative ability to Mr..
Wes'e-6eld. What qualities Of
special nature hss Mr.. Ws.tcr6-ld To

has he ever had in legisls,ionl Mr.
Davsupor, has served Us il the San

From Kansas.

EDITORS COURIER Peabody, Kan
sas, is situated on the Atchison, To-
peka Il Santa Fe Railroad, us miles
southwest from Atchison, and lies as
far south as st. Louis, Mo. The eli
mate is mild and the winters short.
Wheat and corn are looking very
promising. Fall wheat is most gen.
orally raised here. Barley also does
well. Peanuts are good crop. To-
bacco, sweet potatoes, and similar
vegetables which flourish in many of
the Southern States are success here.
Water is found here at from 20 to 30
feet from the surface. The streams
are fed by springs.
Peabody is only about four years
old and has three church edifices, and
a good two-story schoolhouse, a good
steam Touring mill, and good hotels.
Farmers are getting ready for har-
vcsting. There has already been over
one hundred harvesters sold in this
place this season. This is magnifi-
cent country for stock of all kinds.
! am well pleased with the change
have made. l left a good country
when l left Wapello county, but
think this country is superior to i.
The population Of Peabody is about
five hundred. We have a free Libra
ry donated by Mr.. Peabody, of Bos-
ton, of about one thousand volumes

the subject, "To What Extent Are the
Calamities of the Times Chargeablc

was depressed because people paid
too little attention to the study OF

have come to be ashamed of the tools

the counting-room to see how mill.
ionaircs spend their money, and the
girls change the school for the parlol
to assist their brothers in their laud.

much time in early education upon
Kings and Queens, when the children
can have no adequate idea of the
character of the rulers SO prominent

Elegant Suburban Lots.

We understand that j. Nj. Hedrick
is engaged in subdiyiding that piece
OF land adjoining the West End, for
merry known as "Motfctt's Garden"
1t is the handsomcst acreage ground
adjacent to the city, covered with the
choicest fruit trees and shrubbery
and only about twelve minutes walk
from the Postoflicc. 1t overlooks
the greater portion of the city; all
the railroads, depots, public buildings,
&c. Moreover tho panoramic view
afforded from these premises of the
Des Moincs river and the fine coun-
! try for miles beyond and up and
down the river is not surpassed by
any scenery in the lovely Des Moincs
valley. These lots will be convenient
to the upper ward school house, ant
Immediately OH the proposed line O

can be seen in Mr.. Hcdrick's office

During the storm this afternoon
John Gray received shock from
lightning which, for short time, it
was feared would prove fatal.
1t seems that he was standing in
the door on the east side of the barn,
with one hand raised about even with
his face and resting itagainst water
spout. The shock seemed to affect
only his hand, at the instant. lie
whirlcd around, snapped his fingers
as if they were burned, started across
the barn floor Oh a slow trot, but fell
insensible within a few feet of the
door. We are informed by DIR. Stew
art that for short time he was in a
very critical condition, with the pros
poets against his recovery. He soon
commenced to rally however, and
will, without doubt, fully recover.
About the same time that Gray was
shocked, lightning passed through
the Democrat composing room from
the front to the rear, and struck in
tho alley in the rear of the office. A
lady who was i'm the yard in the rear
of that office, near a water spout, was
stunned, we are informed, and one OF
her arms paralyzed for time. In
the lower part of the city two or
three persons were knocked down,
but not seriously hurt. Major Bal
lingall was struck on the side of the
nose, the lightning glancing of on
his cheek, leaving red line as though
he had been scratched or struck with
a whip. It was narrow escape for
Peter and had it not been for the
consistency Of his cheek, he might
have been hurt,
