while no man desired more earnestly than
Mr.. Greeley the full and final reconcilia-

the South should come half way; that it
should accept the situation without stor-

should exhibit the spirit which seems now
to be altogether wanting TO it in some sec

Words to the Wise.

The best way to preserve the peace OF
the government is to keep in power the
party that conquered the rebellion and Sc
cured peace. The democratic party is
under the influence of the ex-Contcderate
element. No one can deny this. A solid
South for 1ilden means Southern supre-
macy in the democratic party, and moth
ing else. For loyal men TO blind them
selves to this fact is sheer madness.
If what the nation won by hard fighting,
by the sacrifice of half million lives and
$4,000, 900, 900, is worth keeping. the party
that brought about the results in the face
OF rebellion and democratic opposition,
must be kept in power until more loyal
organization comes to the front to take its
place.
To accept democracy is TO 90 back ward,
to throw away the fruits OF the war, to
place upon freemen, black and white, the
chains of slavery.
The issue is as plain as il was when the
Il.
Tilden stands to-day where Mcclellan
stood then. McClellan's election would
have given existence to the Southern Con-
federacy. Tilden's election will revive
into life and restore to power all those evil
forces which were suppressed at Apo
mattox.
Can the nation afford thisP Can BUSH
ness men afford it Can humanity and
civilization afford ftp Let the true state
oil affairs be Numbered into the ears of the
people. If We are TO have peace in the
future the elements that disturb it must be
expelled from power. Democracy is the
disturbing element. BY accident it gained
control of the House of Representatives,
by design ii must surrender that control
to the party that mas right, by reason of
its wisdom. its loyalty and its sacrifices, to
hold il.

One More Struggle :!

The democratic State committee have
issued a manifesto to the democrats OF
Maine summoniDg them to instant and
active exertions to cast their full vote at
the election OF Nov. 9Th. Assuming to
be greatly encouraged at the results in
the West they hope to inspire their delud-
ed followers with the spirit necessary to
make desperate struggle at the polls.
In this circular addressed to the democ-
racy OF Maine the committee say:
"ln this contest the democrats Of Maine cannot
afford to be indifferent or idle. If we cannot give
the Electoral vote of the State to Tilden and
Hendricks, We can at least swell the popular ma
jorify to be given them in the country, and thus
share in the glory Of the triumph. We summon
you, therefore, to ACTIVE DUTY AND ASK rot
TO MAKE AN ENERGETIC AND VIGOROUS
EFFORT TO BRING OUT OUR FULL VOTE 0,
the SeUenM Of Nooensber ORGANIZE IN EVERY
CITY and TOWN and appeal to the indepe nde n
voters who desire an honest and economical ad
ministration Of the government, and who deman,
that sectional hate and discord shall give place Il
fraterna feeling ard harmony, to unite with us il
an earnest effort to accomplish these glorious
results. Let US at all events do our whole dut,
in this direction. If we cannot confidently coun
on carrying the State, an increased vote will a
least exert moral power in favor Of the good
cause. Complete success if not certain, is not i'm
possible.
This democratic manifesto clearly shows
the necessity of the warning which we is
sued few days ago to republicans.
Then the enemy were secretly at work,
but finding that their plans and operations
are discovered they now openly avow
their purpose to make bold fight. The
emissaries OF Tlden are busy in every
town in Maine. They hoped to catch the
republicans mapping. They intended to
surprise us with full democratic vote.
Let the republicans Of Maine see to it
that the plans and hopes of the enemy
are thwarted. Let every town and cour-
ty make an effort not only to cast as
large a republican vote in November as
it gave in September, but to increase il
and roll up majority Of twenty thou

The admissions to the Exhibition last week ex.

day This fact was more satisfactory to stock
holders than TO the visitor who found some incon
venience from the pressure of the crowds. The
chief day of the week just passed was Thursday,
which was chosen as estate day" by Delaware
and Maryland. Virginia also took al informal
part, since her Governor had seen fit to decline ac-
cepting any special day, ON the ground that the
old commonwealth is too poor to celebrate The
day had particular significance as being the ami
versary Of the surrender Of CORVALLIS. The first
event in the celebration took place on Wednesday
evening when a magnificent display of fireworks
was given by an English firm Of pyrotechnists.
