sitting Bull and the Democrats.

Sitting Bull is democrat; that's plain. After
fighting US, sealping the wounded, torturng and
numbering captiyes; after doing al the mischief
and perpetrating all the cruelties in his power he
coolly sends to the authorities a message that he
is out of ammunition, and begs that they will have
the kindness to send him some powder and ball
that he may be in condition to come himself and
shoot the men whom he asks to supply him. We
do not say that this is the coolest thing on record
but is uncommonly well for an InGian. 1t is not
by any means up to the democrats in the South
but then you cannot expect as much of an Indian
as of Confederate. lie acts up to the light that
is in him; and that is all that be expected of
any one, civilized or savage, rebel or Indian.
The rebel democracy in the Southern States
made war upon the government, stole its arms,
starved the prisoners who fell into their hands,
set fine to hotels aud steamboats,, distributed in
fected clothing, committed every act of savage
vengeance stimulated by civilized intelligence
and having been conquered, having submitted
and accepted conditions which they broke at the
first opportunity, they cooly ask that the govern
ment whose power they have resisted
and whose mercy they have abused and
whose existence they have threatened
will have the kindness to place itself in their
hands, agree to their pro positions, and permit
them to do precisely all that 1t has prevented
them by arms from doing. Sitting Bull oanno,
come up to this. But he comes as near to it a.
you cou ID expect from Big Indian.-Froridence

4 Suggestive Comparison.

The election of 1872. says the Albany
Journal, "was a sweeping and overwhelm-
ing victory for the Republican party. 1t
elected the President 10y popular major
itv of 7G3. 17s. and carried 300 out of 3GG
electoral votes. 1t is very clear that it
might now fall vcry considerably short of
its popular and electoral majority at that
time and still succeed.
But what do we SET? The Republicans
carried every Northern State in 1872; and
comparing the September and October
elections OF 1876 with those of 1872. they
scarcely fall short now OF the great results
they then achieved Taking ali the North
en- States which hold elections in Scptcm-
Der or October. and comparing the aggre-
ga,e maiorities, those of 1876 in all the
States put together are not 1000 less than
those of 1872. There is from 1872 mar
gin of more than three quarters of mill
ion votes on majority and yet in all the
Northern States which have thus far held
elections since the national nominations
the Republicans lose less than 5000 all
told as compared with the corresponding
elections of 1872. This is an average loss
OF less than , 900 to a State, while as COM
pared with lS7i-whose figures it was
necessary for the Democrats TO maintain
in order to succeed-The Republican gain
i'm these STATES is over 20. 900
This fact shows Enthusiastically that the
current of public sentiment throughout
the North is running as it did in 1872, and
it contains the clear assurance of great
Republican victory

who Should Vote for Tildcn.

Every ex-rebel who laid down his arms
because he could not help it, and who has
been sorry ever since, should vote for Til
den.
Every friend OF the defunct Coniederacy
who loves slavery better than freedom,
and hates the Yankee because he is not
ashamed to work, should vote for Tilden.
Every ex-slayeholder who sits in idle
ness among the weeds of his neglected
plantation, too proud to work and too lazy
to help himself wasting his hours in build
inc castles IN the air of time coming
when his slaves will be returned to him or
paid tor by the United States government,
should vote for Tilden.
Every man who fought against the Gov
eminent. and who has claim for mule
or bag of corn which depends for pay
ment out of the public Treasury on the
ascendency of democracy, should vote for
Tilden.
Every man who believes that n white
man has the right to kick, rob, prosecute,
and kill the black man, and who thinks
the highest duty OF the citizen is to 90 on
midnight raids to outrage and murder
those who differ with him in politics,
should vote for Tilden.
Every man who sees in solid Sonth
the long looked for opportunity of making
the United States government foot the bills
of the defunct Confederacy, and the
chance TO enrich himself by this system of
democratic plumber, should vote for Til
den.
Every man who believes JEFF Davis a
patriot and Grant tyrant, and who sees
no reason why the currency of the dead
Confederacy should not be worth as much
as the notes of the living Republic, should
vote for Tilden.
Every man who hates the government,
who has no interest in protecting its honor
or its credit, who would vote for the repu-
diation of its sacred obligations, who
would plow over the graves of our dead
heroes, blot out every evidence of their
sacrifices, and stop the pensions now paid {,
or force the payment OF pensions to ex-
rebel claimants, should vote for Tilden.
In word, every enemy of the govern
ment, every violater of the law. every
stranger 10 justice and humanity, every
man who favors the defrauding of the
government either by the means adopted
by Tweed or the income swindle of Til
den, should vote for the great democratic
reformer.
The classes mentioned no! only should
but WW vote for Tilden. On them he re-
lies Tor support; without them he could
not carry State, county, or town in the
land with them he hopes to be made
President. The very thought of the pos
sbility is startling. God grant that no such
calamity may come upon us, and that good
men, irrespective of past political differ
ences, may be a unit in preventing it.

POLITICAL.

Evarts has been finally persuaded to make a

nounced that he will address himself especially
to the merchants and business men of New York
on Wednesday evening
Ben Hill made a speech on the 23i at Colum

defensive under The Constitution lie said the
South is now solid, and "he hoped ii ever would
be-"

The sale Of the four and half per cent.
bonds has stopped in the foreign markets
until after the Presidential election. If the
democracy succeed the funding at this low
rate will cease. Foreign capitalists have

ident of the United States for four years
from the 4th of March 1877 will be cast
next Tuesday. The result of that vote
will be OF vast importance 10 the Ameri-
can people. If Hayes and Wheeler are
elected peace and prosperity will be as
sured to the nation during their admins
tration. If Tilden and Hendricks are
elected our national fabric will receive a
shock that may result in its downfall.
The national credit, ever sensitive to
whatever possible events may affect the
government, already indicates national
safety to rest with the election of Hayes,
national disaster with that of Tiden.
But in this State the issues of the cam
paign were so thoroughly discussed pre-
vious to our State election that they are
well understood by our people, and every
mans opinion is fixed in regard to the
vote which he will cast next Tuesday. A
vote for Connor in September meant a
vote for Hayes and Wheeler in Novem-
Der.
1t only remains now for the republicans
to bring out their full vote next Tuesday
This must not be neglected. Every re-
publican should be at the polls promptly
on election day. The active should not
only attend themselves but see that 9TH
ers, the sick, careless and Indifferent are
aided and aroused TO cast their votes for
Hayes and Wheeler. Names of republi-
can voters not on the voting lists or re-
curing to be changed will need attention.
Quiet work by personal appeals and indi
vidual efforts may be made very effective
in every neighborhood. Means of con-
veyance to the polls must be provided for
such as need it, and this must be furnished
by private generosity, care and arrange
ment in every town. Let work be as sys-
tematic and thorough as it was in Sep
TENDER.
For several weeks the democrats have
been secretly busy TO take the republicans
of Maine by surprise in November. We
must meet them with energy, activity and
organization. They rely for success in
their plans upon our overconfidence and
carelessness. We must show them that
we have lost none of our vigilance. that
the victories of twenty years have not
lulled us to sleep or abated one jot or title
of our interest in the republican cause.
Their only expectation is 10 reduce the re-
publican majority for Hayes and Wheeler
below that for Governor Conner in Septem-
Der. This they cannot DO if the republi-
cans of Maine are true TO themselves. and
rally with the ardor, enthusiasm and CON
fdence which their cause and candidates
should inspire.
Republicans of Maine. the skies are
bright with the promise of a glorious ma
tional victory. Fraud in the North and
massacre, outrage and intimidation in the
South are the agences upon which Tilden
depends. and these can never succeed with
liberty-loying, patriotic, intelligent peo-
pie such as is the ma jOrity in this country.
Hayes and Wheeler will be the next Pres
ident aud Vice President of the United
States. In this faith and for the grand
results to follow let US each and all work
until the question is fully settled on Tues.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
Our Platform and Our Candidates.


The National Democratic Convention
met at ST. Louis, on Tuesday, and ad-
jourucd on Thursday, having done its
work wisely and we'll Its platform is a
masterpiece; its candidates arc men whose
public records would have been platform
enough, even though the convention should
not have put forth line. SAMUEL j.
TmDgN, Of New York, for PRESIDENT, and
Thomas A. HENDRICKS, of Indiana, for
Vice President, is ticket which must
challenge the respect of the whole country.
The nomination has been received with
unbounded enthusiasm in all quarters, with
salvos Of artillery, with professions, bon
fires and rejoicings. Our own feelings are
those of jubilant qualification. We had
so long alternated between hope and fear
Of the result Of the st. Louis convention,
that, when the splendid dcnouement came,
the contrast with the course Of sew
eral former conventions was so marked.
that it could only inspire enthusiasm and
qualification. We doubt not this senti-
ment is general throughout the party, and
that the nomination will be sustained by
the united zeal and energy of the entire
opposition to the present corrupt and pro
fligate Administration, and that it will be
crowned with abundant success.
