doing. and fed into Germany, and from
thence to the United States.

POLITICAL POINTS.

Republican State conventions were held in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Vermont on the 18th
ult. In the frst-named State the delegates to
the National convention were instructed for
Gov. Hartranft, Ohio declared for Gov. Hayes,
while the Vermont delegation goes to Cncin-
natl unhampered, hough they are understood
to have strong leaning toward Blaine or
Bristow. The Pennsylvania platform is silent
on the financial question, and calls for high
er tariff. The Ohio resolutions favor "a tariff
for revenue, with incidental protection to
American industry, recognize gold as the true
standard of values, and the only steady and
safe basis for circulating medium, and declare
that the policy of finance should be steadily
pursued which, without unnecessary injury to
business and trade, will ultimately equalize the
value OF the coin and paper dollar The YER
mont platform calls for speedy return to spe-
Gle payments.
The Republicans of Ohio, at their recent
convention at Columbus, placed in nomination

An early return of the almost forgotten time
when the jingle of silver coin was heard in the
land is promised in the passage by the House
of Representatives at Washington Of the So

of subsidiary coins of the denominations of ten
twenty, twenty-five and fifty cents, in amount
sufficient to redeem and replace the present
fractional currency, and makes silver coins Of
81 legal tender in sums of $50, and lesser
coins in sums of 1876.
It having come to the knowledge of the
Washington authorities that American resi-
dents of Matamoras were being subject to un-
just exactions and expressions in the shape of
forced loans for the defense Of the city against
the revolutionists, President Grant has directed
the military Oh the Rio Grande to offer all the
protection in their power to Americans residing

circulation amounted to $5, 3O4, 900. Treasurer

THE SHADOW OF COMING EVENTS.

Each citizen old enough to remember the
condition OF the country and Of public opin-
ion just anterior to presidential elections
aas not forgotten how certainly, save when
Polk and Clay were candidates, each of US
pronounced the foreshadowed result. 1t
required no prophets ken to predict the
event, and no foreknowledge. There were
patent events everywhere in the enthusiasm
and confidence Of one par y, and in then re-
cent political results that made the victory
of one or the other party already an accom-
plished fact. Grants election was conceded
two months before it happened as certainly
in 1868 as in 1872. But now the RepublI-
cans are in the anxious seat. Their organs,
like Ben Butler. confess everywhere the
uncertainty of the future. The Dayonet
is seized and not only are extraordinary
measures adopted to enslave South Caro-
lima, but the police and sheriffs of Louisi-
ana are sent among blacks telling the ig-
norant creatures that their freedom is en-
dangered and that each must come armed
to the ballot-box. Disturbances are organ
lied in Mississippi and troops marched over
the State to Tighten the people aud prevent
fair and free election. Desperate meas
ures are adopted and every fact confesses
the danger that threatens the perpetuity of
Radical absolutism. Ia truth, if Tilden's
recent letter reach the people everywhere
beyond the Ohio, it tells Of the final over
throw of party whose triumph would be
the overthrow OF American freedom.

THE Ohio LiJeral, published at Mansfield,
unwittinSly critIcizes his Excellency of
Texas with much bitterness when it says
thai among the conspicuous omissions Of
the Centennial Exposition none is more
noteworthy than the absence of Texas.
For, save few bales of cotton, which are
of very superior quality, she has no exhibit
of her splendid products and vast resources.
1t is certainly ner misfortune, for there is
a widespread interest in the Lone Star
State. And had her exhibit been equal to
her acknowledged resources, the immigra-
ton it would have attracted to her fertile
lands would have greatly increased her
wealth and population. As An instance of
this interest, and an evidence of what
Texas has lost, well-known correspondent
of Il prominent Southern paper few days
since gave notice that he would distribute
Guides to Southwestern Texas, and give
information concerning it; and for many
days one might have thought he was a sue
cessful candidate at 4 county election dis
pensing patronage, SO many sought HIM for
information. He receives letters on this
subject from all parts of the country. The
apathy of the Texas people with regard to
immigration is surprising. Did they mani
fest the enterprise which Kansas has dis
played, their recompense would be great.
1t is painful to think that at the close OF
his administration, so auspiciously begun,
the sun of Coke'sg glory goes down IN gloom
and darkness.

THE New York Herald evidently believes
that Tilden wall be elected, and so with the
gamblers and party managers in New York.
The same influences that operate upon the
State Of New York control public action
and partisan events in New Jersey and Con-
uecticut, and these three States, co-opera-
ting with the South; without Indiana or
California, can make Tilden President.
Acting on the assumption tkat he will tri-
umph, the fendid announces that the price
Of that paper has been reduced from four
to three cents copy. The Herald says
this reduction is made because it feels as
sured OF healthy return Of general bust
ness without relapse into imitation, and
believes the present revival Of trade is like
ly Ode permanent, with scale of prices
which will facilitate an early return to spe-
Gle payments.

The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1876-11-02

A CHANGE OF two votes at each precinct
in Ohio will give the State to Tilden, and
the Democracy are toiling vigorously to
secure them. Senator Thurman said in
his recent speech that the Democracy could
and should carry the State next Tuesday.
In terms of unmeasurcd bitterness, like
Jere Black, he denounced Grants South
Carolina proclamation and his action under
it. 1t was designed to be an intolerable
outrage upon free people, and disgraces
New York, and is as wrongful to Ohio as
to South Carolina. The purpose of the
deed fails of accomplishment, and simply
because soldiers are patriots and gentlemen,
and it is very rare that knave energies
from West Point. 1t may b, proper to re-
peat that the final returns from Ohio show
that the Republican majority on the con-
gressional vote is under four thousand.
The maj ,rity for Barnes for Secretary Of
State is about six thousand. The prohibit
ton vote, which amounted to nearly eight
thousand last year, is cut down to one
thousand seven hundred this year, the re-
mainder having gone for Barnes. But for
this change the vote between Barnes and
his Democratic opponent would have been
very close.
