Smash the Federal Machine.

Charles Francis Adams was right when
he said that this was fast settling down
into contest "between the people and
the managers" In the October States,
with all the power Of the Administration
and all of its money, two of the three
States went Democratic, and one was
barely saved bya greatly reduced ma
jority. On one side were the people !;
on the other side was the great Federal
machine. This great conflict is now to
be repeated on the soil of the great State
of New York. On one side will be the
people, who insist upon Reform and Re-
trenchment, and, on the other, will be
Mr.. Chandler and Mr.. Hayes, with their
cohort Of office-holders and their money
bags, ready to do OF dare anything than
suffer defeat. The people have smashed
the Federal machine in Indiana and
West Virginia, and they have racked it
badly in Ohio. We expect to see them
grind it to powder in New York.

art will get almost the entire Democrat
ic vote. In this county his friends are
enthused, and every effort will be made
to get the people out to the polls, and
he will receive almost three hundred
more votes in the county than Miller did
in September. In Pike, Polk, Mont
gomery and Hot Springs, he will get the
solid Democratic vote, and in Garland
and Saline, he will beat Cravens five to
one. In word, Stuart will get more
votes in the seven counties that bolted
the convention by 20 per cent. than Cra.
vens will in the ten counties that nomi
mated Stuart. This is our opinion found.

together reliable. .... -.

more equally divided than we give 1t, and
is just as likely to give Judge Stuart ma

Chambers Weak Address.

The address of Secretary Chandler is
the laughing stock of the country. Only
few days before the Indiana election,
he said that anything less than 10000
Republican majority in Indiana, and
10000 in Ohio, would be equivalent to a
defeat ; and now, after long delay and
much figuring, he comes out with an ad-
dress in direct contradiction of his pre-.
vious statement, and absolutely defends
all the facts. Nearly quarter of a mill
ion gain in the popular vote, and the gain
of 36 electoral votes, in preliminary State
elections, are facts which even Mr.. Chan.
dler cannot ignore.

John Mcclure Working for Craven's
Nomination. -

The Evening Star OF Saturday, edited
by Judge John Mcclure, in answer to
the Herald of Little Rock, tells us plain
ly where his work and sympathy was ex-
pended. He says he labored earnestly
to secure the nomination of Col. Cravens
and the defeat of Judge Stuart And
why, because the men that were pushing
Col. Cravens, were in sympathy and
boilers from the democratic organization.
You find all the radical leaders in SYM
pathy and shouting for Cravens. Why
is it sol Not because they expect to vote
for Cravens, but to lend their efforts to
widen the breach, that Mcclure may
slip in. Democrats must recollect that
a vote cast for Cravens is half vote
for John Mcclure. We do not say
word against the personal integrity of
Col. Cravens, but Democrats, don't be
deceived, or cajoled into voting against
your party nominee, when SO much is at
stake.
This is what Mcclure says:
The Herald of this morning under
takes to create the impression that Judge.
MnGlnra is candidate for oonsross by
house ring" Such is not the fact.
We know that Judge Mcclure labored
earnestly to secure the nomination of
Cravens, and the defeat Of the "ring y
candidate. In fact, he labored to create
the split and division which now exists
in the democratic party. He did this by
first helping one side and then the other.
1t was the first chance he ever saw to
create division and dissention in the
democratic ranks and he seized upon the
opportunity, and, although he says it
himself, has gotten very interesting and
pretty fight This he did for the pur-
pose Of having republican elected to
congress from this district. All that is
needed to make his plan success,i is for the
republicans of the different counties in
the district to stand by their party NOM
ination and 60 to the polls and vote.
His object was to bring out two demo-
cratic candidates who would divide the
democratic vote of the district about
equally, and this he thinks he has done.
The difference of the vote between Stuart
and Cravens will not vary much from
thousand, and at this writing we are not
prepared to say which ofthe two will get
the greater vote. The democratic vote
of this county is about twenty -four hun
dred, but fully four hundred will not
vote for either of the democratic eandi-
dates. Out of the two thousand demo-
cratic votes which will in all probability
be polled, Cravens will receive between
six and seven hundred, and the balance
will go to Stuart.
The Van Buren press., 1876-10-31

~ The st, Louis Republican of the
Gath, says: " 1t is somewhat disturbing
to republican nerves to compare this
years returns with those Of 1872, but 1t
is isimpossible to refrain from noticing that
the Republicans had net majority of
972, in October, 1872, in Indiana, and
that the democrats had a net majority Of
1884 in October, 1876. 1t will also strike
everybody's attention that the Republi-
licans' net congressional majority in
Ohio, has fallen from IA 800 in 1872, to
4,209 in 1875. Of course it will he rep
resented that these extraordinary losses
amount to nothing at all. Still, when it
il remembered that they have been the
invsriable accompaniment of every state
election which has taken place this year,
and WAS even witnessed in Maine and
Vermont, it looks little as if there was
something in them"
The Van Buren press., 1876-10-31
The Fight Already Won.

An extract from our New York letter
has this to say on the situation: The
Republicans in this State are panic
stricken. At the National Republican
headquarters, here, it is exceedingly diff
ficult to evoke smile by the most brill
liant sally of WIFI, and any such thing as
a hearty laugh has not been heard in
these precincts since the returns have
been received from Indiana, West Vir-
ginia and Ohio. The immense demo-
cratic gains in the latter State are, in re-
atty, the severest blow the Republican
party has received. Its majority there,
now, is 30 small, much less than one per
cent, that the slightest incident of the
canvass, may lose them the State, but it
can do them no good. The democratic
gains in that and the other States in the
which elections have been held, amount
ing, as they do, to 225,0OO popular votes,
indicate turn in the popular tide which
renders the defeat OF Hayes absolutely
certain. Out of the seven States voting
so far, which went for Grant in 1872,
four are now democratic, assuring gain
ef SO electoral votes in those States
alone. Could the Republicans carry New
York, they would still have chance
of success, but with this State hopelessly
lost to them, as it is, for it will give Til
den $4,000 majority, the fight is practi-
cally ended now.
Democrats will continue to exercise
the utmost vigilance, and to labor inces-
sanity, but they will do SO as soldiers
marching on to victory, while the Re-
pbulicans resemble an army already pan
ic-strickcn with the forebodings of de.
teat."

friend of Judge Stuart, was travelling

- Mr.. j. Warren, the republican
elect to the legislature, from this county,
who has just returned from a business
trip over Scott and Polk counties, says
that Stuart will get nearly all the votes
in Polk, and will get majority in Scott.

ed solid for Cravens. Scott coun-

after boltcrs from the regular eonvcn-
