Mr.. Halstead always did have faculty for
summing up political questions and situations into
phrases which immediately became bywor,ls for tho
whole country because OF their quantness and apneSs
There was of these in his Cooper Institute speech
claims OF the South, which in spite OF Gov Tiliens let
ter sin exist spoke OF the Democratic party the

If Gov. Tilden depends for his election on

The expectation Is that the Pacific States will be

is sent out by correspondent OF The Ciiemnat En-
o,irer; There's too much oyer.cOnfdent feeling
Natural enough, but dangerous. The Democrats can
never afford to ground arms till the victory is cnched-

throwing ballots away in voting for Cooper and

dependents dniatlonists) can vote for Hayes and
Wheeler and Republican party and thus vote against
every principle they hold dear. Tho vote the
Democratic ticket for the Democratic party which alone
Offers them pathway toward the goal Of their desire.
The promise Of the Democratic party is not all that the
Independents desire, but the party platform and the
party tendency in the direction OF their desires.
The Republican party is committed forced resump-
ton on the first day OF January, 1879, aud the
Democratic party Is committed against it.
The Democrats in this Congress sought TO
monetlzc silver and the Republicans would permit II.
The Democrats in the House passed the bill repeating
the law commanding forced resumption years hence,
and the Republicans defeated the measure. IL Is tho
Republican party that passed the coin bill OF March,
Yer the interest OF the gOdmOngers and bonhOders.
1t is the Republican party that enacted forced esump

voters they by themselves, throw away noble
strength II they vote the Republican ticket, they are
voting against themselves II they vote for the Demo-
cratic party they for all the essential things they
can hope to gam in the present and for ali they hope OF
the future"
