1876 is 39,Os7 greater han in 1875,
when the vote was unprecedented
and extraordinary. 1t will not be so
heavy on the 7th of November, but
the Republican majority will be lar
ger. Instead of 5000, it will at the
lowest be 10000 for Hayes over Til

THE FIRST WORK.


party is to carry the state for HAYES
and Wheeler; this can be done in
November. The second is to prove
to the country that we are not all ig-
noramuses, though majority may
be; this can be done through the ju-
dicious efforts of our Republican
delegation in Congress- The third
is to wrest the state from the hands
of the Bourbon Democracy, and
place it fully in line with other
northern states in point Of political
progress; this can be partially accom-
pllshed two years hence. The fourth
is to put man in the Gubernatorial
chair who will, in some degree, rep
resent the intelligence and culture
of the state; this can be done four
years from now. The time may
seem long; they will be four years of
modification, four years of going
backwards, but the end and the
change will come at last. Let us go
about these duties one at time, as
they present themselves, the first be-
ing the election of Hayes and Wheel

HARD OR SOFT.

INDIANA.
In Indiana the democrats had all
the chances in their favor. Their
candidate for Vice President is the
present Governor, and without doubt
their most popular man. They had
the advantage of being or seeming
to be on the popular side lin Indiana)
of the currency question. They had
a sure majority of the voters, accord
ing to all the late election returns;
and they had made an active canvass,
had used money freely, and left no
stone unturned to keep the state in
the democratic line. Circumstances
could not have been more favorable
to them. 1t seemed almost madness
a few weeks ago for the Republicans
to claim that there was any possiblli-
ty, even the remotest, of saving the
state. All the indications, from the
conditions of politics down to the
betting in pool-rooms, were most ia.
vorable to the democrats, and up to
last week it seemed almost certain
that the state would be democratic.
The man who seriously predicted
anything else was wild. Aud yet
here is Indiana in doubt, thirty-six
hours after the event, with the chanc-
es, it is true-if we may depend up
on the balance of conflicting reports
in favor of the democrats, but with
the probability of a majority either
way too small to interfere with the
effect of republican victory in
Ohio, or the general drift in favor of
Hayes. These facts, taken at the
best for the democrats, are anything
but encouraging. They see, of course,
that the force of the tidal wave upon
which they ran majority into the
present congress is entirely spent

HE FLAG OF OUT COUNTRY INSULT
IN A RICHMOND THEATRE.

"A
Richmond (Va.) Republican, Oct. 6.
The occurrence of which we writ,
took place Friday, Oct. 8, 1876, ane
we have purposely taken three day.
to deliberate upon what we shoult
say in regard to it, that We may no,
have to rcproach ourselves with Ian
guage born of the spur of the mo
ment, not accursed of undue hea,
and political spleen.
Friday night last the Richmond
Theatre was density filled with g
crowd to witness the opening per
Torrance of Madame Brent's Female
Minstrels. The introduction was OF
an order following the usual custom
of minstrel performances, the whole
troupe occupying the stage, giving
an opening chorus, and continuing
with a series of ballads, choruses and
witticisms by the end-men. The
male was novelty In its way, "The
Flags of all Nations" being compos.
ed of a series of national songs
and representations illustrating the
peculiarities of the different peoples.
The first was "Hail Columbia" re.

ing with "Thc Star Spangled Ban.
ner," at which the company arose,
and the scene at the back of the stage
opened and presented to view the
Goddess of Liberty" mounted on a
pedestal holding aloft the National
flag! We hate to describe the scene
that followed, but justice demands
it, and we shall not finch, come
what will. We have been begged
and entreated by several parties to
say nothing about it. The truth
must be tod, come what will.
A perfect storm of Kisses immedi-
ately greeted the appearance
of the flag, and it was plainly
seen the performers were perfectly
astonished and did not know wheth-
er 1t was better to hide their heads
in shame or "haul down the flag"
and leave the stage in disgust. We
are quite safe in saying that one-third
of the entire audience Kissed, but we
have no fear Of contradiction in say
ing, and positively assert, that one

--LATEST RETURNS are full of encour
agement TO the Democracy. Indiana has
certainly gone Democratic by q respecta-
BILE majority, which will, no doubt, be
still further increased. This is a de-
cided Democratic victory, and when it is
remembered that the administration and
the Radical party looked upon Indiana
as a prize necessary TO be won, and put
forward their most powerful energies in
the way of money and speakers to carry
the State, its Importance cannot be es:i
mated We may count on Indiana, as
safe for TILDEN in November, and
the al effect OF its vote will tend to
make New York.: New Jersey and Con
necticut, also certain for this Reform
ticket.
The paltry majority of only little
more than 5000 in Ohio, too, notwith.
standing that it is HAYES own state, and
the tremendous popular vote there
polled, is also substantial victory for
the Democracy, and gives us cause to
hope that even her electoral vote will be
cast for us next month. On the whole
then. the outlook is exceedingly promis-
ing. The friends of good Government
and opponents of corruption may rejoice
with sincere rejoicing.

A Radical Yarn for Political Effect.

CHICAGO, October IA New York
Herald South Carolina special says that
Governor Chamberlain has extraordinary
information to the effect that on Monday
night, about 9 o'clock, three hundred
armed men opened the county Jail of
fiy, I'D .ad took from it three hundred
and seventy stand of state Ards. The
scting deputy sheriff, jailer and United
States sentinel, who WAS on his post not
over two hundred yards distant were net
aware of the presence of the armed band,
nor OF the carrying of OF the arms. No
body, says the Governor, but those co.,
cerued in the plot knew anything about
it, and he, of course, believes thst white
men did it. These arms were taken
from the negro militia at time OF great
disorder in Edgefeld comfy in 1916,
upon condition that the rifle clubs
would disbsnd, and have since been
stored there. They were principally
breech-losders.
