Having debauched hepublic ser

of a hundred thousand Office holders

peoples taxes-in order to create
immense corruption funds to frus-

profess to be the champions of civil
service reform. Having imposed
upon the Southern States the rapa
city, fraud and plunder of the carpet
bag governments, having almost
ruined the prosperity of the North
by destroying the prosperity of the
South, having created terror, uncer-
tainty and confusion in all the pro-
ductive industries of the South,
which furnish most of the exports Of
our whole country, keep in motion
the North and East, and furnish a
market for the agricultural products
of the w est. they now purpose, by
renewal of the same fatal policy, to
prolong their own power in the hope
of concealing their misdeeds, and for
this purpose they do not hesitate TO
renew the cry of intolerance to re-
yive the dying memories of fraternal
strife, and to appeal to the fears and
prejudices of the timid and the ig-
norant.
Fellow Citizens: These men and
their measures have been completely
tried and have completely failed.
An oppressive taxation, an exhaust

fuctuating currency. the enterprise
of an Industrious people locked fast

is the outcome of their political poll

their long supremacy. Your ballots

whether or not these beloved and
precious United States of ours are
to be consigned to MONARCHY! !

in the least the Republican pro-

dictatorials of Grantism, or anything
else that tends to check the misery

simply means that Grants head Is

will be worked to the satisfaction of
the operator who. is King Grant.

The Way They DO It.

WAsH1NGroN, Oct. Is. - Tt has
been positively ascertained that q
plan has been perfected by which
several thousand negroes are TO be
transferred from Maryland and Yir.
ginia into North Carolina to vote
the Republican ticket in the hope of
carrying the State for Hayes. One
part of this scheme is under the
command Of notorious colored
politician of this city, named Perry
Carson, who was, in his way, an ac-
tive agent of the old District Ring.
Raising Election Funds.
The cry for more money comes
over from the Republican National
Committee, and orders we're issued
Saturday to plumber the already
overtaxed department officials here
at the rate of an additional 2 per
cent. on their salaries. For the first
time In the history of these raids an
assessment has been made on the
non-commissioned officers and sol
diers of the regular army. vino have
been detailed in the War Depart
ment for clerical duty. The regular
army is, therefore, not only to be
made to do its work in the field, but
to contribute out Of the pay of its
fle for the election purposes of the
Republican party. Accompanying
this assessment is circular requir-
ing those who have not fully paid
their former assessments TO make
up the deficiency and respond to the
hast demand. This new raid il only

utter desperation of the Republican
leaders here 81 e 4
