speech come easy to him. "[Courier-

many other Democrats"
The Indiana correspondent of the
New York Times writes a long letter
confirmatory of this declarations: 81
do know what is the fact in Indiana,
and / do know that the question which
enters most largely into the canvass
here is whether this nation shall be- re-
manded to the control of its enemies,
under the lead of Tilden and the rebel
Democracy, or to its friends, under the
lead of Governor Hayes"
Senator Morton says a great deal is
said about Republican leaders controll-
ing appointments, but not ten per cent
Of it is true. He would be very glad to
be relieved of the business. It's the
greatest burden he has. 1t makes him
ten enemies to mi friend, and most all
Of the Senators are of the same opinion.
Tilden's surroundings are bad. If
elected, he would take to the White
House the worst set of political jobbers
and thieves ever seen in Washington,
and that is saying a good deal. 1t could
not but be that a man educated in cum
ming, in hypocrisy, in iniquity, nomin-
ated in corruption and shameless eff
frontery, even though his millions could
elect him, would give us the most cor
rupt administration the country has
ever known. Cincinnati Enquirer.
Wade Hampton was serenaded at
Walhalla, S. c., on the 10Th inst, on
his arrival from Columbia. He said
that "the day of compromise and con-
cession was over, and the time had come
when the sons OF Carolina must rule the
noble old commonwealth again at any
and at every risk. He assured the col
ored citizens that they would be equally
protected, for he would know no race,
but fearlessly and faithfully execute
laws" He concluded amid cheers,
while the band played Dixie.n We
quote from a Democratic paper.
General Brinkerhoff is an example of
the sort Of treatment a hard-money
Democrat meets with in the West in
trying to support Tilden and Hendricks
on a sound platform. He announced
after the letters of the Democratic can
didates were published that they COIN
cided with his pluckily-maintained hard
money views, and that he should sup
port them. Since then he has been

that the imitation movement is dead. and
that the Democratic party is the party
Of honest money. He is having what is
called a red-hot time of it. The Demo-
cratic journals tell him they don't want
him in the party, and call him all sorts
of ugly names.
General Harrison is waving the
bloody shirt" to some purpose in Indi-
ana. Speaking about that shirt he said
a few days since: 1.-THE bloody shirt!
l speak to-day to some men whose coun-
tenanceS l recall as you sit about me,
who know what that meanstmen who
have seen the comrade whom they
marched with, and the touch of whose
elbow had helped to inspire them when
marching upon the foe, lying in his
bloody garment, and who have wrapped
him in his blanket and laid him away
in the ground. / recall very distinctly
an occasion at the foot of little hillside
at Resaca, which will be recalled by
some Of the men to whom I speak to-
day, when we gathered the dead Of our
brigade and laid them side by side in
the fight, and as we recall these bloody
mi mangled forms we cannot hear that
thing spoken Of in such a way by those
who stood at a safe distance from the
scenes Of carnage without feeling that
they are insulting the loyal element of
this nation"
