TEE yXANLNITY OF REPuBMCASs.

Tho nomination Of Hayes and Wheeler
secures to RopublicauiSm tho ELECTORAL
votes Of North Carolina, Alabama, Mis-
sissippI and Louisiana, states which
many Republicans had conceded to the
Democrats.
1t is noticeable fact that for tho first
time in several years the Republican
party presents solid front. There is
not tho shadow Of a bolt from Hayes
and Wheeler. The Democrats notice
this, and are quick TO divine that such a
unanimity of sentiment BODIES no good
TO their party.
Tho nomination of Rutherford B.
Hayes OF Ohio tor President aud vii.
lam A. Wheeler of Now York for Vice
President by tho Republican Convention
recently held at Cincinnati 10 giving al
most universal satifaction 20 the Rcpub-
lican party throughout tho country. 1t
is true that many hoped for the nomin-
alton of Hon. James q. Blaine rs their
first choice, and were disappointed at
his defeat. But as Governor Hayes
record is becoming better known, his
eminent fitness for the position Is rec
ognizcd and all who really have the
principles of tho party and the welfare
of the nation at heart arc satisfied that
the Cincinnati convention did its best in
nominating Hayes. With him as our
standard bearer the liberal element Of
the Republican party will be satisfied
and those who honestly desire an ad-
ministration in which no iobbory or
vonality exists can support Hayes and
Wheeler with clear conscience. Of.
course We cannot satisfy those very lib
eral Republicans who left the party be-
cause they could not control il nor those
"relormors" who sec corruption in
everything not under thoir own man
agement; but the people who read and
reason will be contest to know that our
standard bearers are honest, capable,
true, and loyal TO Republican principles.
That they will be triumphantly elected
next November we have no doubt. The
House of Representatives at Washing.
ton with its Democratic majority of
Confederates and Rebels, with its Fitz-
hugh's and incompetents has disgusted
the people with that class of '.-eforu"
and Hayes and Wheeler will receive the
popular endorsement. Let US rally TO
the coed work.

Col. S. VI. Palmer, and his aid, Mr.. ".
B. Dexter, performed their duties in q
most satisfactory manner. Their mill
tary appearance was splendid.
At about noon tho crowds dispersed
for dinner. Owing to the absorption Of
a largo share of the money collected for
the fireworks, the fantastic parade and
other expenses, the dinner committee
was compelled to work upon g very
small margin; consequently the supply
of prov isions was not large enough tc
meet the demands Of such large and
unexpected crowd. However, many
brought their baskets with them, pre-
pared for family picnics. What was
furnished by the dinner committee was
we'll cooked and good. Mr. j. E. Har-
rison, rs chief OF the provision depart
ment, distributed his limited supplies as
we'll as it was possible for him 30 to do

tho committee did not. At the din
ner hour the groups scattered here
and there under the shade CT the beauti
ful trees seemed to enjoy their picnics.
Notwithstanding tho hot sun was Of
ct times boiling everything. Ice-creami
soda water and lemonade stands, under
the supervision of Mr.. Willis Kesler,
and cigar stands presided over by
Mossrs. Hoover & Kinney, helped "fII
up" the people.
In the afternoon, after considerable
music, romping, promenading, swinging,
steamboat riding, chatting, etc., good
addresses were made by MessrS. Splvoy
and Mohcr and Mrs. Hannah Wilson.
Towards four and five o'clock the crowd
commenced moving towards town to get
their suppers and prepare to witness the
display Of fireworks. The fireworks
committee had prepared good and sub
stantiaI stand on South Santa Fe-OppO-
site tho school house, whore the display
was to take place. By eight o'clock in
the evening the vacant places about the
stand wors we'll filed, and in halfan hour
the "touching OFF, process commenced.
Owing to a lack of help, the chiefs,
Messrs. ODER and Fasset;, were unable to
make very fast progress in tho "sond
off," The work was exceedingly well
done, however, considering the gentle
men were not experts at the business.

Well Satisfied.

Mr. George William Curtis gives an
emphatic approval of the Cincinnati
ticket in HGrper'S Weekly. lie says it is
unexeeptionable in every sense and
from every point of view, and adds:
The combination of these names
forms q ticket on which oil the friends
Of reform and honest government can
heartily unite. Not word of evil can
be spoken Of either. Conspicuously in
corruptible, thoroughly identified with
the Fefo1m element in the Republican
party, and in full accord with the eleva-
ton of the public service and its eman-
cipatiOn from the rule of machine poll
tics, the men nominated ct Cincinnati
will carry the Republican party through
no doubtful fight. No ticket can be
nominated at ST. Louis that can present
better or equally popular names.
The testimony taken by the Senate
Committee now in Jackson, Miss, shows
a systematic series of murders, arson
and whipping for the CRIME of Republi-
canism, which would seem to have their
foundation in love for evil alone. The
families of men who have been shot
have been driven from the county, and in
some instances from the State. In some
counties the evidence shows intimida.
ton to have been carried so far that
those who did not agree with the "white
liners" were not allowed TO nominate
candidates for Office. Presidents OF Re
publican clubs and other Republican
leaders are generally those swho are Sc
lected TO be murdered by the rowing
bands Of "liners." 4 strange feature in
these atrocities is that they are not the
work of rebel soldiers. Wherever
brought in contact with the oX-soldlers
the committee have found them to be
peacablo, law-abiding citizens, and often
Republicans. The young "bucks" OF
the rising generation, who's imbibed all
the preiudices and hatred5 of the South
ern cause and realized none OF the So
bering effects of the soldiers life, led
only by few unconquered and desper-
ate old planters, are the perpetrators Of
outrages in Mississippi.-Al5dny Fee
