When the people had appeased the pangs of
hunger by partaking of the sumptuous feast
prepared for all, the music again drew the
crowd around the speakers stand, when the
choir sang ''rhe Flag OF our Union" after
which Hon. II. G. Sluss, Of Wichita, was in
troduced and delivered the address of the day.
The Grafton was replete with patriotic senti-
ments, depicting in the most glowing terms
the great benefit the people have derived by
reason Of the civil and religious liberties en-
joyed by them under the benign influence OF a
government of the people; and ceunseing
them to keep alive the patriotic fires in the
breasts of their children, that unto the latest
generations America might be, not in name
only, but IN fact, the home OF a free and en-
lightened people. The thanks of the audience
were unanimously voted to Mr. Sluss.-Au-
gatd Vazafe.

stsolid" Democratic South can be secured
with peaceful means. 1t knows full well
that North Carolina, Louisiana. Missis-
sippi, Alabama, Florida and South Carc-
lima have a clear msjority of Republican
voters if the elections are fairly and
peacefully conducted. 1t follows that
those journals which advocate ''solid"
Democratic South desire to destroy popular
government in this country. The recent
Congressional elections in Ohio and In
diana show conclusively that the people OF
the North do not approve the policy ad-
vocated in the present House by the Demo,
Gratis under the dictation of Ben Hill,
Lamar & Co. They go to show that the
people of the North and Northwest repu-
diate the legislation of the last session OF
Congress which aimed at 'fsolid" South.
The Herald ignores this fact, and says that
these changes in members of the lower
House of Congress have no significance.
1t is gratifying to know, at last which side
the Herald is to take in this election. It
has boxed the political compass, and now
is swallowing its own words nobly uttered
earlier in the campaign. But it is also
gratifying to know that a journal which
cannot hold the same line of support for
three consecutive months is without in
fuence with the people. There is one
thing the Herald may rest assured OF, and
that is that its readers will not approve ofa
'fsolid'' South without solid North to

A Political Libel,

[From the Jewish Messenger
A dispatch from Cincinnati prints this ex-
tract from an article in Wednesdays CONNER
cial, endeayoring to account for falling off in
the Republican vote: -...... ...-..
s'The most important single influence has
been that of the Israelites, who have almost
unanimously voted the Democratic ticket, aud
may be credited with the result In the Second
district. 1t is understood that the Republican
Israelites have generally succumbed to the
argument that Cincinnati has put her capital
in Southern railroads, and must look out for
Southern trade"
We lack words to express our adherence of
the editor who thus seeks to charge upon re-
spectacle citizens desertion Of their principles
for mercenary reasons. On the 25th of Sep
tember, the 'tHrst grand torchlight procession
of the campaign" took place at Cincinnati.
The meeting was represented as enormous"
and the audience "attentive, earnest and en-
thusiastic." Among the speakers was Hon.
B. +. Peixotto. The chairman of this Repub-
lican meeting was Mr.. Lewis Seasongood.
Among the vice presidents were Messrs. Philip
Heidelbach, Isaac Adler, j. G. Sohn, Jacob
Seasongood, Charles Kahn, jr., Jacob Elsas
and other well known citizens.
There are at Cincinnati, Thousands Of Israel
ties, some Republicans, others Democrats.
They are second to nobody of residents in the
United States for integrity, intelligence and
independence. Whatever the cause that led
to Republican disappointment, 1t must be
sought elsewhere than In the malicious and
despicable calumny printed In the Commercial.
This impertinent and anti-American assault
will, we are satisfied, receive the censure of
the press throughout the land.

AND now the resignation of three Gov

AND now the resignation of three Gov
ernors of as many States will be in order.
To continue to hold their delicate positions
until after the November elections, which
are to determine their elevation to the
highest offices in the land, would be most
unbecoming. As executive officers Of
their States they may be called upon to
certify to the choice Of the electors of
their respective States. No honest high
minded, patriotic citizen who Is fit for the
position of Chief Executive of the Republic
would desire to remain in post the duties
of which might by any possibility subject
him to the suspicion of having tampered
with the purity of the voices of the people
as expressed through the ballot-box with
reference to himself. Hence it is that we
call upon Governor Hayes, of Ohio, Re-
publican candidate for the Presidency, to
resign his place as Chief Executive of
that Stale. 1t is an act which he has designed
to perform ever since his nomination.
His State having just expressed its purpose
to elevate him to the Executive Office with
an emphasis which admits of no dispute,
he can with perfect propriety sever his
official connection with its affairs. Should
he do this at once. as we have no doubt he
will, Governor Tilden, of New York, and
Governor Hendricks, of Indiana, will
hasten to follow his patriotic example.
While there is no law requiring this action
on the part of these candidates, the eminent
fitness of such a course can be gainsayed
by 10 one, but will be approved with
unanimous voice.

AT LAST.
George wilkes Proved q Forger.

For the last ten years and my family have
been assaulted by a combination of editors
composed of Charles A. Dana, Whitelaw Reid
and George Wilkes. propose now to stop at
least one of them. George Wilkes caused the
forgery of the Broderick will. The proof is
positive. have been years in gaining it. The
man who signed the will was Moses Flanagan,
who died in New York three or four years ago.
On his death-bed he confessed to James NJ.
Seloyer, now of II Broad street, a broker of
reputable standing and high social position,
a man whose word is as good as gold, and
whose character has never been impugned,
that he signed the Broderick will.
This confession was made to Mr..
Seloyer because he had known Flanagan in
early days in California, and had assisted
him to an easy death by furnishing physicians,
nurses and all the comforts of sick room.
1t is unnecessary to describe the unutterable,
debased character of q man like George
Wilkes, whose life was passed as the editor Of
the Police Gazette, sporting paper in New
York. But If anything could be worse, IT is
the character of the witnesses he attached to
the will, which he, claimed left David c.
Broderick's g property, now worth two or three
millions of dollars in San Francisco, to him.
They were low and common creatures, known
around the police courts in those days as
straw bail. George Wilkes having existed so
long on the borrowed light of his supe-
riors, it is time to shut him of.
My fathers name and the name of
John McGlinn, of San Francisco, both of
them the most respectable citizens in their day
of that city, were put in as executors TO quiet
any possible objection the honest men might
make to this scandalous forgery, they being
Senator Broderick's nearest friends. My father
never touched his executors fees, nor recog-
nized George Wilkes socially or personally.
The time has come to say this, and 1 say 1t
with full knowledge Of the effect of what 1
write, George Wilkes is forger. He sold to
VIM. r. Garrison and to David c. Cotton has
tily his stolen interest in the dead mans prop
erty for eighty thousand dollars in gold, and
to-day he hides his head in a foreign couatry
in fear and shame for his crime.
Mr.. William R. Garrison and General Col
ton very soon got rid of their interests in the
Broderick property By selling it. I dare Geo.
Wilkes or anybody who believes in him to dis
pute one word / have said. As the son of
dead man, whose name has been foully used
to bols-er up a shameful fraud, make this
statement. have remained quiet too long.

THE Brooklyn Argus calls attention to
the fact that Mr.. Parke Goodwin, in his
silly TRADE of abuse of the Republican
party at the Cooper Union the other night,
and his eulogy of Mr.. Tilden, failed to meet
and refute or ''disprove any Of the charges
"against Sammy--and so Achilles heel
&c is left bare About the only reason
which Parke Goodwin gave for his prefer
ence of Tilden was the fact that he had
known him from his boyhood. This
means that if Tilden should be elected
PaIke would be pretty sure of first-class
foreign mission. But that will not satisfy
the holders of the shinplasters with which
he flooded the upper peninsula of Michigan
some years ago, and which he has never
redeemed

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN SATURDAY MORNING OCTOBER

of making awards has been bitter disap-
pointment to those few gentlemen Of Paris
and London made fame, and they find no
pulling of wires, no back stair arrange
ments, can entirely put down other piano
makers, who are in allrespects their equals,
and in many their superiors. Hence the
hue and cry raised by these men against
this system ofawards, which gives the
same medal to "a Steck, Knabe and
Decker piano that is given to Hallet Da-
Wis & Co.'S, Steinway, Chickering and
Weber piano-the medal in itself being
only the stamp of approval by the jurors
as to the reliability and general excellence
of the pianos obtaining it. The special
points of excellence of each piano men
toned in the awards, although differing in
different pianos, are in no way considered
as detracting from the merits Of other pianos
similarly awarded; so that all the claims
put forth by this and that piano as having
obtained the highest honors for excellence
superior to any other piano is a ridiculous
and groundless assumption. A half dozen
or more pianos have been tested and pro-
nounced worthy to be specially approved.
This has reused the ire Of those aspiring
to be the monopolists of public favor. The
pianos receiving the medal are officially
reported as follows Hallet, Davis & Co.,
of Boston; Steinway & Sons, of New
York Chickering & Sons, of Boston !;
Steck & Co., New York; Weber, of New
York Decker Bros. of New York; Kuabe
s. Co., OF Baltimore Schoomaker & Co.,
of Philadelphia. The reports accompany
ing these medals point out the special ex-
cellence of each piano, and up to this time
are sacredly guarded. not only from the
public, but from the makers of the pianos
themselves who have won the honors. No
one of them has any right as yet to know
what the reports contain. Soon they will
be laid before the public.

LAST Saturday Gen. Geo. C. Mckee was
brutally assaulted by the Mississippi Demo
cratic bandits when making a speech upon
the courthouse steps at Canton, Miss.
Gen. Mckee is well known in this city,
having served three terms in Congress here
from Mississippi His cowardly assailants
attacked him from behind, and precip-
itated him from the steps into a crowd,
where their confederates completed the
programme by knocking him senseless
with club. His ofense was declining to
divide the only hour he had in which to
address his friends during the recess of the
court with the Democrats. 1t would be a
humane idea to send the Lieutenant Gen
eral of the army to the South with such
force as can be spared from the Indian
country to preserve order at public places
of registration. The presence of a few
soldiers would secure peace and tranquil
lity, and guarantee to citizens their right to
vote as they please General Philip Sheri-
dan is the man for this duty. Republicans
and Democrats alike could vote as they
should please under his administration,
provided they pleased to do so peacesbly.
National Republican., 1876-10-14

THE New York Herald seeks to elect
Tilden by advising the negroes at the South
to vote the Democratic ticket, and thus Sc
cure to Tilden and Hendricks "solid
South" 1t then assumes that the North.
will give to Tilden all the votes he may
need to secure his election. 1t does not
appear to occur to the Herald that its adyo-
cacy of ''solid South" is tantamount to
the advocacy of g "sOlid North" for Hayes
1t also marks the Herald as sectional pa
per, while all other Northern papers seek
to preserve the nationality of both parties
by the guarantee of peaceful election, in
which all voters may give candid express
sion to their wishes through the billot-box.
A ''soEd South" procured by violence and
bloodshed would be no expression of the
viii of the majority, but simply the dicta-
tion of the will of the leaders of the rifle
clubs, organized in Republican States to
prevent Q fair election. The Herald even
has not the hardihood to maintain tina! q

gress. Such body would overturn all that
has been accomplished. It would seek the
reputation of the act of 1875. It would con-
stantly agitate schemes for the disorder of the
national finances by new issues of paper
money, or by some absurd and threatening
device of interconvertible bonds. It would put q
stop to the refunding of the bonded debt at a
lower rate of interest. It would unsettle pub
lie confidence In everything, and make busi-
ness what 1t has so long been-a form of
gambling.
Still less can anything be expected from the
next Congress, controlled by the Democrats,
in the solution of the great problem of civil
service reforms The Government now needs 9
change in its 6vil administration In two re-
gards--in the relation of Government en-
ployees to politics and in the permanence and
efficiency of the working force. 1t would be
simply impossible for the Democrats to make
q change in these respects, even If the leaders
of the party were inclined to do so, and the
leaders are not so inclined.

PIANO AWARDS.

In 10 department of the Exhibition has
there been greater competition than among
the piano-makers, and, although the contest
soon narrowed down to few houses. it has
been maintained to the end with all the
earnestness, and even acrimony, natural to
parties who had attained to a supremacy,
partly by real worth, but more by sklllful
manipulation of public sentiment through
the power of money, as well as through
laxity of personal responsibility on the
part Of the jurors at previous Worlds
Fairs, which made the winning of honors
an easy matter. But tie American system
