Campaign Notes.

A vote lately taken among the prisoners In
the Polk county, Iowa. Jail showed them to
be solid for Tilden, and very eager to "come
out" for him.
Gen, Lew Wallace, who is addressing Re-
publican meetings in Indiana, was inter-
rupted recently at Salem by crowd of Til
den men, who cheered long and loud for
JEFF Davis, and unnecessarily tried to break
up the meeting.
Prof. William Everett, son of Edward,
writes long letter 10 tell why he has been
disgruntled with the Republican party in
times past, and to add that not In single
particular does the Democratic party offer
anything better. On the contrary, quite the
reverse; therefore he is going to work for and
vote for Hayes and Wheeler.
The Southern Democrats already sniff
spoils in the distance, and the New Orleans
Times has begun to clamor for navy yard,
saying: ga fair proportion of the future
navy should be built here, and our Congress-
men of Louisiana should take hold of this
matter and call in the aid of their Western
allies"
If the statute Of limitations does not pre-
vent it, there is strong probability that the
Republicans viii land Sam Tilden in the PEN
itentiary for perjury and swindling the Gov.
ernment in making his income returns before
the Democrats can get him into the White
House, where he would be able to pardon
himself ont. 1t is pretty close race IS to

changed for Al per cents, which sell at par in
1876. Including the war claims, the claims
OF the states and other extraordinary expen-
ditures following the close of the war, the
actual reduction in the public debt, the Re-
publican party has paid off during eleven
years of peace nearly thousand millions of
Indebtedness.
Not content with this enormous reduction
of Indebtedness the Republican party has,
one by one repealed the war taxes. During
the five years following the close of the war
it repealed taxes which, when in force
yielded over three hundred millions of dollars
year. 1t did away with the income tax, it
reduced the internal revenue tax to three
items, spirits, tobacco and banks.
Having done all this in eleven years
of peace, having successfully prepared
the way, the Republican party has
tened to complete its work by set
ting a date for resumption. And now the
people are asked by impudent demagogues to
set aside the party which has done so much
and to put in power party which has strong
ly opposed every step taken toward resump-
ton, which has resisted every effort to i'm
prove the public credit, which in face oi
these indisputable facts has the impudence to
assail the Republicans because they did not
resume long ago. The people, who have
watched events, will not be deceived by the
monstrously false accusations in the st.
Louis Platform.

Intimidation In Louisiana.

The New Orleans Picayune of the 10th inst.
contains the following extraordinary article,
in the form of a contribution:
All will admit that 1t is the colored vote of
Louisiana that has ruined the state, and has
nearly ruined the colored people also. They
have been the tools of sharp and heartless
men who have no interest In the permanent
welfare of the state. They have taken black
crew to carry the ship of state ON q reef that
they, as wreckars, may enrich themselves with
plunder Ii is time that the planters steam
boat men, merchants and all others in Louis
lana who give employment to colored voters.
speak out more plainly to these people. Were
it not for those who give employment to the
col0red race of this state half of the negro
voters of the state and their families could
staroe 10 DEATH and the rest eco1ld fare but little
better Were this race entirely out of the state
their places would be filed by white share
hands in multitudes from other climes, and the
state would be better of without than with the
colored race. Negro voters are compelling the
planters to hunt up more reliable class of la
borers, who will not vote to destroy the planter
and the state. And the planters want la
borers who are more honest, more skillful
and more ambitious than the colored man.
The people of Louisiana should say frankly
to the colored population: We do not beg your
votes, but we give you chance to vote for
good and honest men and for our interests. IL
you vote with us we will stand up to you. We
will do you no injustice in any event. But IL
you vote with our enemies, we will cast you off
only as our present necessities COMPEL rs TO
employ you. If you continue to act as our en-
emes while we feed, clothe and shelter you
and your families-if you league with our en-
emies, who are eating our substance aud de-
stroyng our State-we must brand you as our
enemies, as the enemies of the State, and as the
enemies of your own best interests. The test
of negro fidelity in November will be: If you
vote for Packard, you are an enemy of vour en-
ptoyers IN Louesidna; if you vote for Nichols
you are the friends of your employers and of
the State. Let our people assume an aggressive
attitude. The experiment OF reasoniog with
colored men has been often tried and as often
tailed %

A Still Hunt.

The New York Tribune cautions the Re-
licans of Maine to beware of Samuel j. Tax
dodgers "still hunt"; it is his policy. By
adopting that policy he has gained political
prominence. Because he understands that
policy he was so long Chairman of the Dem
ocratic Committee Of Ne Y York. As a part
of that "still hunt'' he and Tweed issued
that circular to which his name was attached,
for the purpose of carrying the New York
elections in 1868.
Mr.. Tilden has no policy to explain, no po-
litical record to exult over, no advocates who
can help his cause before an intelligent peo-
pie. He dare not attempt to explain the al
most numberless charges which have been
brought against him. He does not expect to
make converts among intelligent men. All
his life money has commanded his
best services. He understands the art of
humbugging. Consequently he has all faith
in the two agents MONEY AND HUMBUG-
which have made him all he is, to carry the
election. Mr.. Tiden has been schooled in
the corrupt politics of New York, where
m oney, venality and ignorance conspire to
swell Democratic majorities. He hopes and
expects to achieve victory through those
agencies.
From all parts of the state there are posi-
tive assurances that Mr.. Tilden's friends
have sent large sum of money into Maine
to be used in quietly getting out full vote.
Mr.. Tilden's tactics of ''stiIl hunt' are in
full force to-day in Maine. His party has
made close canvass. They know if there is
a wavering man who that man is. They
know if a vote can be purchased where that
vote is. His leaders in Maine depend en-
tirely upon such tactics.
The Tildenites do not expect to carry
Maine. They are pursuing the "still hunt"

low figure and then to be able to say that
the result has been obtained without effort.
Such, Republicans, is the game of the sly
Mr.. Tilden in Maine. We must not, there
fore, be deceived by the apparent apathy of
local Democratic leaders. They have moth
ing to hope from vigorous, open campaign
and manly discussion of political ques-
tions. They rely upon cunning, duplicity
and money.
From all parts of the state we have the
most cheering advices. We are certain of
victory; but to make it overwhelming and
crushing we must labor zealously and see
that EVERY Republican voter is at the polls

SIxTREN years have passed away, and yet
the Democratic party, in soul, purpose and
policy, is the same as when under Buchanan
it left the country crumbling into anarchy,
a part warning against it and part voting
against it, and both factions teaching that
our country was mere confederation Of
states, too weak to enforce its own laws,
without power to protect its life, and subject
to the veto of any state that chose to with
draw from its power. So declared Senator
Sherman at Marietta, Ohio, few days ago
and yet that party asks the people to restore
it to power, and give it full control of the
Federal Government!

Republican Work for Resumption.

The Democrats declare in their national
platform that the Republican party has since
the war made no advance toward resump-
tion, no preparation for resumption, but has
instead obstructed resumption by wasting
the resources and exhausting the surplus in
come. These charges are utterly devoid of
truth, and it only needs candid examina-
ton of the facts by any man to convince
him of the falsity of the accusations.
At the time the war closed there was an
unpaid army of a million of men in the field,
great navy afoat. an irredeemable paper
currency of S750,000,00O in use and SUBJ
ject to wide and sudden fluctuations, an
enormous funded debt, and greatly i'm
paired public credit. The task of meeting
and overcoming these difficulties was gi-
gantic one and not to be accomplished in one
year or ten. But the Republican party
promptly confronted it and at once ad-
dressed itself to the emergency. The army
of million men was recalled from the field,
disbanded, paid off to the last dollar. The
great navy was reduced to skeleton. Un-
adjusted balances on contracts, for trans
portation, for arms, for munitions, for sup
plies, amounting to hundreds of millions of
dollars, were audited and disposed Of All
these difficulties had to be met before re-
sumption could be undertaken, for they were
the first steps toward resumption. These
bills had to be paid before we entered upon
the discharge of our other obligations.
When these were disposed of there came de-
mands from the states for payments of ad-
vances and expenditures made on account of
the general government. Then the pension
roll had to be looked out for. After all this
preliminary work attention was turned to
the bonded debt, which was in a confused
state, in many forms, bearing various rates of
interest. The work of funding these at
uniform rate of interest was an arduous one,
but it was successfully accomplished. The pub
lie credit was advanced, American securities
were raised to a high value in the money
markets of the world, and the vast prepara-
tory work of resumption was successfully
accomplished. Continuous steps were made
toward the discharge of the debt, and the
surplus income was applied to its liquidation.
Besides the enormous payments made just
after the war over five hundred millions of
the funded debt we're paid, the annual inter-
est charge reduced over thirty millions. the
greenback advanced in value from sixty cents
in 1865 to ninety cents in 1876, the public
credit so built up that the Treasury was able
to call in $500,0O0,0OO of the 6 per cent.
bonds and replace them with per cents, to
advance our credit so that 6 per cent. bonds
which sold for eS in 1866 can now be ex-

Pillsbury's Silly Effort.


Does Eben F. Piilsbury imagine that intel.
ligent people are going to be deceived by his
howl about federal taxation in his campaign
circular? Has he come to the conclusion
that the people of Maine are fools? He has
taken the pains to tell the people OF the sew
eral towns how much their part of the fed
eral taxation is. Does he think the people
have forgotten the cause of this increased
taxationp Why, Mr.. Pillsbury, thousands of
intelligent Republicans will tell you that of the
$685. 100000 expended by the Fedora
Government the last fiscal year over $780,
100000 we're required to pay the expenses
of Democratic Rebellion, which you and
John G. Talbot and Marcellus Emery and
every Democratic leader in Maine of that
period practically supported. Take this sum
and make the same assessment upon the
towns, that they may see how much they are
paying into the Federal Government to dis
charge the liabilities arising from Demo
cratic Rebellion.
Run over the state tax list, will you, Mr..
Pillsbury, and you will find that nearly
100000 is required annually to pay the
interest, sinking funds, pensions, etc., rem
dered necessary by your Democratic rebel
lion. Please divide this among the towns.
Go through the towns Of Maine if you will
and you will find that the heavy debts with
which they are burdened were contracted
from 1852 to 1866 to pay the bounties of re-
cruits for the Union army to put down a
Democratic rebellion.
Mr.. Pillsbury, the intelligent people o.
Maine understand right well who is responsi
Bile for the heavy taxation, federal, state and
municipal. They know that the men of the
South whom you now support and aided so
effectually during the war by denouncing
Mr.. Lincoln's administration, the purposes Of
the war, the drafts, and by declaring the con.
test failure, ARE RESPONSIBLE and ALONE
RESPONSIBLE for the heavy taxationi

FROM the time that the Credit-Mobilier
swindle was first exposed down to the nomi-
nation of Tilden, the Democratic papers
have never tired of denouncing Republicans
as responsible for it, and reproducing it as
sample of Republican corruption. Since the
nomination of Tilden however, they have be-
come as dumb as oysters with regard to it.
The reason is apparent. 1t has been shown
that Tilden received $4,000 for being the
originator of the swindle and counseling the
conspirators in it as to the best modus oper-
andi of swindling the Union Pacific stock
holders.

OVER fifty million dollars OF the annual

Is it not little remarkable that the Demo
cratic House of Representatives refused to
appropriate dollar for the examination of
the rebel archives? 1t is we'll known that
Mr.. Tilden wrote no letters favoring the
Union cause during the War. 1t is equally
well known that he is an indefatigable letter
writer. To whom, therefore, was he writing
letters dnrlng the five years of the War? Is
it possible that the Democrats were afraid
they might stumble on some of his letters in
the rebel archives? 1t looks suspcously so.

HAS the Democratic party changed its
policy since it was driven from power by the
command OF the people fifteen years ago?
If so, when did that change take place? Is
it not the same to-day as 1t was under the
lead of Buchanan? And, unchanged as II
is, can the people safely trust it now with the
reins of Government?
