National Republican., 1876-11-06

LABOR is the king Of this country. La
borers pay the taxes. The sons Of toll
support the Government. Mouopolies COM
bine the strength of capital to wrest from
labor the lions share of its fruits. TIlden
is the counsel and advocate of monopolies,
and the foe of labor and lsborers. And
yet Tilden appears to have bought some
of the leaders of the labor organization in
New York, hoping thereby to secure the
votes of all its members. In this. how
ever, he has counted without his host. The
seller cannot deliver his goods The presi-
dent of the National Labor Council, Col.
Albert E. Redstone, advises all labor coun-
cils to vote the Republican in. preference
TO the Democratic ticket. He holds that
Hayes is the friend Of the ltborer, and in
dependent of that it would be bad policy
for the organization 10 aid in placing the
Democratic party in power, for the reason
that it might in four years so fortify itself
as TO preclude the labor organic itious from
winning the next heat. He contends that
in 1880 the Democratic party, if success
iul in obtaining the control of the Govern
ment now, would be much harder to dis
lodge than the Republicans. He also
thinks the Democratic policy would be the
most oppressive of labor, and in this he is
right.
National Republican., 1876-11-06
HARBINaERs OF VICTORY.

As the 7th instant approaches the chances
of Sammy Tilden's election grow besuti-
fully less. Already the tidings come from
New York that the merchants and solid
business men of Gotham are aroused with
singular unanimity, and, throwing them
selves into the breach, will thus avert q
national disgrace and carry the Empire
State for Hayes and Wheeler. The busl-
ness men of New York have doubtless
been meditating on the trite maxim that 1t
is good to leave wer-enough alone, and
rather than risk the probable ills which
would follow rebel success at the polls they
will work with one accord for the success
Of the Republican party. The New York
merchants exert great influence when they
take part in political affairs, and the effec
tive service rendered by them In the defeat
and discontinue of the thieving Tammany
rings aitests the nature of the service which
they are now rendering the cause Of good
government Outside of the city of New
York Hayes will receive sixty thousand
majority, and with the New York mer-
chants interested not all of Tilden's Ill
gotten fortune can save him from defeat.
The capitalists of the Empire State have
too much at stake to psrley in such con-
test. Their interests demand that the
affairs of the Government be equitsbly and
honestly administered, and having thrived
National Republican., 1876-11-06

during the eight years rule of President
Grant they will see to 1t that his successor
is not political stock ;jobber and railroad
wreoker, but an honest man. Let the
friends of good government take heat, and
enter with renewed yigor in the glorious
work to be performed. The 7th of Novem
Der is fraught with as much moment to
posterity as was the surrender of Vicksburg
or the capture of Richmond. and while
gamblers and thieves may bet their money
on "Tilden and REFORM" the honest men
of the land, undismayed, will cast their
votes for the soldier Hayes, and elevate him
to the head of the nation which, by his
proves upon numerous battle fields. he
did SO much to sustain against the cohorts
of treason. When such patriots as Hon.
VIM. NJ. Evarts, of New York, interest
themselves in political affairs, and point
out the dangers to be apprehended from the
success of sham reformers, it may reason
ally be assumed that the masses will be
properly advised, in which event it is ut
terly impossible for criminals like Tilden
to successfully foist themselves upon the
public.
National Republican., 1876-11-06

UNDER THE act of Congress of February
81, 1866, provision was made for the settle
ment of accounts between the United States
and the State of Tennessee, regarding
property sold the Edgefeld and Kentucky
and Memphis, Clarksville and Louisville
railroads, excluding any claim for use, oc-
cupation and damage during the war.
Governor Porter declined to make such Q
settlement, and secured the introduction of
bill into the House. at the last session OF
Congress, providing for the payment on the
part of the United States, for use, occups
ton and damage done said roads. The
claim of the Memphis, Clarksville and
Louisville road alone, as stated by the Dem
ocratic State government amounted to over
$500, 600. And now Governor Porter pre-
tends that he cordially indorses the senti-
ments of Tilden's late letter repudiating
Southern claims. How he loves the ''solid

The following letter, dated October 81,

from former slave there to his fellow former
slave now living here. will show the modus
operdndi of the peaceful election about to
take place in that State. 1t is believed to
be specimen of the purpose Of the ex-
rebels throughout the whole South, which
they will accomplish tomorrow:
Mr.. Dear Sir: / now take the pleas
ure of writing you few lines to inform you of
my health. / am well at the present time,
thanks be to God. We are all very anxious
to hear from you, and also to hear how
you arc getting along up there. Times
are very hard here. The whole county is in
an uproar. The Democrats are Just carrying
everything Just as they please, and are all
armed, just ready for fighting, and say that
they are going to carry this Presidential cleo
tion If they have to fight for it. Rev. John r.
Lynch, from Congress, came down on the 10th
Of October to make q speech for US, and the
Democrats would not let him speak. We
came very near having q big fight about 1t.
Please to write soon, and let us hear from you
all. The letter closes with some personal mat
ters Of no public INTEREST," r. W.
