RE TRI-E TO TIE PARTY.

From the W. Va, Border Watchman.l
If there ever was a time when demo-
Gratis ought to stand to their colors and
vote for the nominees of the party. it is
in the present canvass. In order that
the party may be organized in this state,
every democrat ought to vote for every
man on the state, county and district
ticket. In voting against any n of
them, you to that extent are supporting
the radical party. Democrats, do not
allow your passions to weaken the dem
ocratic ranks. If you have wanted posi-
ton (tor yourself or triends) and been
disappointed, let not that lead you
astray. Others have been disappointed
before you, and yet remained true all
their lives. Act from principle-be
careful of yom' record-zealously sup
port the nominees, and as sure as the
sun shines your faithfulness and patriot
ism will, in due season, receive their
Just reward. The time has arrived. when
every democrat ought not only to vote
himself for the whole ticket, but tc
urge upon his friends to do the same.

Governor Hardin left Tuesday after
noon for Omaha, Nebraska, to be pres

the western and northwestern states.
The object of the assemblage is IA full
consideration OF the ~grasshopper plague,
and an appeal to congress to take the
matter in hand, as the states are power
less. The grasshoppers are already
encroaching on Il western border, and
%devouring the wheat even in Jasper

Under date October 16, a private cir
cular has been sent out from the repub-
lican headquarters, signed by the chair
man and secretary of the republican
central committee, in which it is stated,
referring to the October election, ''our
majority is small when the large vote
polled is considered. A change of but
three votes in each township and ward
from the republican party to Tilden
would lose us the state" 1t certainly
looks as if that committee still regards

DR.. Fulkerson refused to abide the de-
cision OF the democratic nominating
convention, although pledged to do so
by himself and friends, because the N
v"ention failed to place him upon the
ticket for the office OF collector. He again
refused to abide the decision of the par
" expressed through the democratic
county committee, which met at his re-
quest, for the purpose OF investigating
the FRAUDS" charged by himself and
friends, and which committee decided
that the charges made were not sutficien'
to warrant them in interfering with thu
ticket as made by the convention. W.
wonder, now, whether he will submit t.
the decision of the people at the polls
after his defeat upon the first Tuesda.

Shall Economy be Enforced

The River and Harbor bill has been made
a pack horse in the Senate. not only for a
million of dollars in amendments, but to
carry Il heavy load of partisan Republican
speeches and fabricated figures. Mr.. Nor
TON, Mr.. SHERMAN, Mr.. EDMUNDs, and Mr..
FRELINGHUysEN have undertaken to show
that the country is in prosperous condi-
ton, that taxation is light, that every
thing is lovely. and that the Administra-
ton Of GRANT is the purest and best the
country ever had.
OF course the sanctmonious Senator
from Massachusetts,, with the CrCdit Mo-
bilier dividends and the salary grab IN his
pocket, TO Illustrate the purity of his pub
lie character, could not remain silent
when so many patriots OF his dido wcro
rushing TO the front and defending the
Administration. He must take hand in
the fray and join In the chorus to Grant
ism. This same Mr.. DAWES was Chairman
OF the Committee Of Appropriations in
the House six years ago. He had spasm
of pretended economy at that time. and
made Il speech which attracted good
deal OF notice, from his position at the
head OF one of the great committees.
True, he went to the White House privately
soon afterward and got admission through
the back door, to recant what he said in
that speech against GRANT, and then he
started for New Hampshire and took back
all he had said on the floor of the House.
But the speech is OF record ana is worthy
OF attention now, when its author is again
eating his own words, and striving to dis
parage the work of the Democrats in the
House, who are doing what he advised and
never performed with a Republ can ma
jorty at his heels, and who find them
selves obstructed by the very difficulties
that he pointed out. In 1870 there was no
actual distress in the country. On the
contrary, the tide OF imitation and extrava-
gance aud fictitious prosperity was swell
ing in volume and even threatening to
overflow and burst the banks, as ii did
three years later. Still there were clouds
overhead that no watchful observer could
overlook, which foretold plainly enough
coming storm. At that Time, on the 18th

The Bayonet in the southern Elections.

The Administration have given 1t out
that they will not try to carry any South
ern states for HAYES with the bayonet ex-
Dept louisiana, South Carolina, and North
Carolina. Legislatures are to DO CHI osen in
those States, which will elect two Senators
On Louisiana in the room of WEST, Repub-
lican, and PIScHBAcK, Republican, who
was not seated; and one in South Carolina
in the place OF ROBERTSON, Republican,
and one IN North Carolina in the room of
RANSOM Democrat. AS four seats in the
Senate are involved in these elections,
they are OF unusual Importance, and it is
therefore natural that the Republicans
should not hesitate about employing force
TO carry them.
But let the South not be deluded by the
rumor that the bayonet is not to be used
elsewhere In the interest OF HAYES. We
confidently look to see 1t tried in Missis-
sippi, Alabama, Arkansas, and Florida.
Twenty-eight electoral votes, and two
seats in the Senate are involved ia the con-
test in these States, and the Republicans
will not abandon them without despe-
rate struggle.

Indiana.

The Republicans of Indiana have taken
alarm at the prospect of defeat, with ORTIZ
as their candidate for Governor, owing to
his completely in the frauds OF the Vene-
zuela Commission. He went TO Washing
ton ten DAYS ago. but failed to appear be-
fore the Committee of Foreign Affairs,
which is investigating this robbery OF a
weak and friendly Government.
1t Is now understood that ORTIZ agreed
while in Washington to retire from the
head of the ticket, If the interest of the
party could be promoted by that step: and
hence he avoided the investigation which
he had previously professed to seek. The
party leaders are discussing various names
TO substitute for that Of this tainted cand-
date, and the choice seems to have settled
down between Senator MORTON and Mr..
PRATT, whom GRANT recently removed as
Commissioner OF Internal Revenue with
out cause of any kind.
Mr.. PRATT Is disinclined TO be q candi-
date, but may be ultimately persuaded 10
forego his own Judgment and to consent
10 the wishes of his political friends, in
spite of the bad treatment he has received
from the Administration. II he should
finally refuse, Senator MORTON will con-
sent 10 make the race and take the risk of
defeat. He has two years to serve in the
Senate after the 4th of March next but
ne is willing to step down and out, and
TO run the chance OF coming back through
new Legislature.
The whole power Of the Administration,
and all the money that can be extorted by
forced contributions, will be thrown into
Ohio and Indiana at the October elections.
The public patronage for the latter is now
virtually in the hands of MORTON, TO be
disposed Of without any question. The APP
polntment of TyNER as Postmaster G en-
eral, and OF BRADY TO succeed him as
Second Assistant, put the immense ma
chluery Of the Post once into MoRToSs
Keeping, for both these persons derive all
their consequence from being the merost
creatures of his will.
All the other public patronage in that
State and in Ohio will be employed in the
eame way, with the fun knowledge and
connivance OF Mr.. HAYES notwithstand-
ing his talk about civil service reform. In
fact MORTON ranks CHANDLER, and has
taken command Of the Presidential cam
paign. Should he by any misfortune sue
cceu, TIC VIII Dc the poNeI Dehiuu tuc
throne, greater than the throne, greater
than tho President, in the political direc =
tion of the Administration.
The contest Will be fought desperately
from first TO last. The Republicans realize
that it is TO be n struggle for the very ex-
istence Of the party. They know that de-
feat means not only extinction, but ex-
posture OF all the enormitles by which
power has been maintained so long in
their hands; the overissue of Government
bonds and notes, excess OF interest, forced
balances, ensures. interlineatons, and
other frauds in the public accounts, and a
mass OF corruption and villainy which Will
astound the country, whenever the truth
can be brought to light by n change in
parties, without which IL will not be re-
vealed. Every faction is equally interested
in concealment, because they have all
prohted by the atrocous system.

The Democratic State Convention in
Louisiana has nominated Gen. FRANK NICHOLS
OF st. Landry Parish for Governor, and LOUIS
A. WITT, formerly Mayor Of New Orleans, for
Lieutenant Governor. These are considered
strong nominations. Gen. NICHOLS Is one OF
the most popular men in the state, but he has
never sought ofice. Indeed, he repeatedly de-
cined to have his name used for the nomina-
ton which he has iust received and which was
absolutely forced upon him. Mr. Witt was
Speaker In the organization of the Legislature in
January, 1915, and by The wise discretion which
he displayed when the Conservative members
were Illegally expelled at the point OF the bayo-
not, he won the respect even Of his political op-
ponents. There Is no doubt that With this ticket
the Democrats can carry the State by very large
majority In November. In the late Republican
state Convention some Of the leading speakers,
In attacking their opponents Of other Republl-
can factions, admitted that there was no possi-
bility Of electing tho Republican ticket, and
that the contest In the Convention was one for
control Of the party organic alton so as to iDfiu
sncs the distribution OF Federal patronage.
The Conservatives Of svery grade, who com prise
nearly all the respectable white citizens and
properly holders OF tho State, including
the old-i;ne whes, will doubtless unite
heartily In the support of this ticket: in
deed, they must do so for self-preservation,
since the candidates for the principal
Offices on the Republican ticket represent
the worst elements OF the party which has
robbed the State 40 persistently for years, and
their election would be a final and crushing
blow to the material Interests Of Louisiana.
| On the other hand, the Republicans are at war
| among themselves, while many OF the more In
telligent colored voters are deserving their self
| appointed leaders, and in all parts OF the State
| are enrolling themselves In colored Conserva-
| tive and Democratic clubs. or course, It Is well
understood that, as heretofore, fraud, forgery,
and every conceivable vllainy will be resorted to
TO defeat the will Of the people, and that GRANT
| will send troops to the State for the intimida-
| ton OF both blacks and whites who wish to vote
| for honest government. But nevertheless, the
| people Of Louisiana are confident OF redeeminl
| their State from the rule OF thieves and scoun-
drels, aud that. too, by such a decided majority
that public opinion will compel even the present
Administration to acque.ce In the result.

Some one is responsible for the loss of
life which occurred at the foot OF Twenty
second street on Wednesday night. Many hun
dred passengers had returned from an excur-
sion down the bay, and were landed about eleven
O'Clock on a long, dark pier. Among those
anxious TO reach home as soon as possible were
Mr.. and Mrs. CHARLES OHLwEILER OF Second
return. After walking up the pier at least two
hundred feet, deceived by lights on the shore.
they stepped OF into the water and were
drowned. II the pier had been properly
lighted, they would doubtless have reached
the snore In safety. The managers Of the
excursion boat say that they arc not
allowed TO light the pier and the City
Hail authorities have been wrangltng over
the subject for some time past without taking
any definite action. Almost every New Yorker
Ia aware OF the intense darkness into which pas
seDgers dive after leaving the lights Of an excur-
late hour In reaching her pier. Careful cropping
is required to keep from stumbling over the
rough and sometimes broken blanks, or pitch
ing headong into the water. THIS state OF
things should no longer exist. All oilers along
both rivers, at least where passengers land
should he well lighted at night. more .refu
supervision should also be m do OF excursion
steamers to see that thew are fitted for the
waters they navigate, and that they are moi
oyercrowded and running with worn out boilers
and machinery.
