in readiness all troops that can be spared,
for conveyance South, where they are to
be used ostensibly to protect the ballot,
but really to intimidate the Democrats,
and ensure a Republican victory a war
rant for this is pretended to be found in
Il recent resolution OF the House, denounc-
ing fraud and intimidation at the polls.
But the Democratic resolution called for
the protection OF the Courts, and the Prcs-
dent responds by ordering the military to
be in readiness 1t is believed that this
movement will react dsastrously upon

One has only to visit the Belfast shoe

extinct branch Of industry in this city.

found the skilfu' carpenter who formerly
welded the broad axe and framed the
great huls that were our pride and boast !;
at his side stands the calker who found
employment upon the same, and further
along is the sail maker, black smith and
rlgger who reaped their harvest from
the same source 1t is brought in strong
contrast with i recent event in Massa-
chusetts where the shoe-makers were
taken from the shops, just before an elec-
ton, and set to work at ship building in
the Navy yards Here the unemployed
ship carpenter is obliged to flee to the
Shoe shops to earn an honest living. And
this is the result of good Republican times.
