NORTH CAROLINA republicans con-
cede the election of Vance, democratic
candidate for governor in that state, by
fifteen thousand majority. Since the
nomination of Tilden for president the |
democrats feel assured of at least twenty |
thousand majority.
"THE wheels of government are
cIogged by the inaction of the majority |
of the house." says the Washington Re
publican. That is one way of stating it,
but everybody knows that the house has
been doing very excellent work, by put
ting the brakes on the radical spendthrifts
who have been fritterihg away the public
money for some years.
THERE is one thing at least to be said
nominated man who has done some
thing, and ofwhom everybody has heard.
There will be no need to go around ask
ing who is he, or what has he done?
There is no installing the man, his char
acter, his record or his position. Whether
we like him or not, We know where he
stands.-Philadelphia Times, Ind.
Lofs OF 'EM DO So" No, sir; the
war isn't over" exclaimed ain excited
Hayes man, it is still going on, and we
should be false to the gallant soldiers
who laid down their lives for the union
if we didn't continue to prosecute it Wig
orously." Then he cantered round the
corner, where he drove his elbow into
the ribs of and nearly upset a one-legged
veteran who solicited him for aims

The one thing that the election of a
democratic president would insure would
be peace at the south. BY peace we
mean entire CELEBRATION of sectionalism.
the assurance to that people that they
are part and parcel OF the union in
more than name that they CAN pursue
plans and develop means leading to per-
manent prosperity without the dread of
South Carolina government being in
stalled to waste the fruits of industry
and honesty.-The Capital.
| WE presume Gov. Hayes would gladly
| have given five thousand dollars out of
his own pocket rather than have Yaryan
go out Just when and as he did. 1t is a
delightful commentary upon the plat
form which commends Grants admins
tration "to the continued and hearty
gratitude of the American people" a
platform upon which Gov. Hayes stands
as an indorser as well as a candidate
st. Louis Republican.
AT least one republican journal sees
the absurdity of trying to defeat Gov
Tilden by calling him a "sham re-
former" The Boston Advertiser says
frankly: He has done good work as a
reformer, and is entitled to all the credit
of it." The taxpayers of this state
know that reform which reduces their
taxes is not sham. The canal-ring
gentlemen know there is no sham about
it, too.--N. Y. Tribune.
KENTUCKY democrats will vote for
Tilden and Hendricks with greater zeal
than they have voted for anybody since
1856. They will give the st. Louis
nominees forty thousand majority, and
in that number will be counted thou
sands of old Clay wings who, forgetting
the animOsities of former conflicts now
rally around the democratic flag as the
only symbol of constitutional govern

| "HAYEs, of Alabama, voted for the
salary grab. Rutherford B. HAYES was
not in congress at the time, and has not
been there since. Had he been he would
have voted against it. Had he been
president he would have vetoed the bill.

dear, he never even looked at her." In

had married Miss Sallie Snifkins, would

Journal.
MR.. HAYES is the candidate not only
of the republicans of Massachusetts,,
Vermont, Michigan and Kentucky, who
are ready to re-organize the party in Or
der to get the thieves out of it. He is
the candidate of the New York custom
house, of the Illinois whisky ring, of the
Pacific coast ring, Of George E. Spencer,
of Alabama, and of the turbulent crowd
of adventures who have been making a
pandemonium of New Orleans this week
under the name of republican conven-
tion He is the candidate of the rail-
road .jobber, Blaine. and the proprietor
of the bloody shirt, Mr.. Morton, and he
must offend none of these men before
election day if he is to succeed Wash.

think of this party as it came into being
twenty years ago, its leaders men like
