Mr.. BLAINE, in one of his recent
speeches, thus sets in startling light
the murderous results of Democratic
dominance in the South:
They will tell you that they had a
peaceful election last year in Missis-
sippi. Now l beg to submit an
arithmetical matter of fact, and /
make this statement deliberately
Though they call this election a
peaceful one, last years transfer of
that State from the Republican to
the Democratic power involved the
death OF more men than were ever
murdered in all the election riots that
ever took place at all the municipal,
State or national elections ever held
IN the free States, from Maine to
California, and covering period
dating from Gen. Washington's cleo
ton to the present day. Applause,
and voice. "Hit 'em again." And
they call this peaceful election. l
60 further, and wave the shirt they
have made bloody, and say that since
Lees surrender to Grant till now,
there have been more men killed for
political opinions in the South than
fell on three of the bloodiest battle
fields Of the rebellion. This is sus-
ceptible uf proof by documents on
flIe at Washington city. Great APP
plause.]

THE city authorities Of Dubuque
have had a great deal of trouble with
Mr.. Griffith on account of his en-
deavors to shirk his share of the
public burdens. He refuses to pay
taxes on his property like other men,
unless according to the terms of a
compromise of some sort to which
the city is driven by threats of liti-
cation, and by which Griffith evades
a portion of his just taxes. This
year, being candidate for Congress,
he has found it polite to depart from
the above programme, and the hon.
est tax payers of Dubuque are con-
graduating themselves that for once
Griffith has paid his taxes with some
degree of promptness. In view of
the fact a correspondent of the
Times says: 81 wish the Congress
sional term was limited to one year,
and that the Democrats would nomi-
nate Mr.. Griffith every year; that
would help us get his taxes"
p. S.-Griffith is fierce for Gre
form"

The New York Tribune sums up
the political situation in New York as
follows:
The possibility of his [Tilden1 car
rylng this state by the aid of Repub-
lican, Liberal, or Independent votes
has completely vanished. With a
very full Republican vote, such as
has been polled in Maine and Yer.
mont, this state is Republican by a
majority exceeding by many thou
sands the insignificant support he
Will receive from voters not strictly
democratic. Mr.. Wheeler is popu-
lar in New York. Gov. Morgan will
call out the full vote of his party.
The nomination Of Mr.. Robinson
comes too late to be q dangerous
sham. Unless influences not now
apparent should effect some great
change before election, Mr.. Tilden
will be beaten in his own State by a
heavy majority. He will find, more
over, that the disgust of the old fash
toned democrats and their hatred of
the policy which ostracises every old
leader of the party in order to cap
ture republican votes, will cost him
thousands of bourbon votes where
he will gain hundreds. 1t is still
posslb e, Of course, for republican
folly to throw away this state, 1t is
no longer possible for democratic
skill and zeal to win 1t.

The statement in an article from
the Chicago Times copied into the
Conservative this week, to the effect
that Gov. Hayes, in July last, had an
interview with certain members of
the American Alliance, a Knownoth-
ing organization, and formally &C.
cepted the nomination for President
at their hands and endorsed the prin-
ciples of their order, is a most foul
and rascalIy talsehood, which has
been contradicted explicitly and di-
rectly, on the authority of Gov.
Hayes himself. There is no reason
able doubt that the person who is re-
sponsible for its appearance in the
Conservative well knew this fact, and
knowingly gave currency to the
played-out lie. 1t must be under
stood that the Conservative pines

THE ELECTION,

81
The State elections in Ohio and
Indiana, for which both political /
parties have been waiting with great
solicitude for weeks and months, and
which it was anticipated would de-
termine in a measure the result ofthe
national election in November, oc-
CURED last Tuesday and the general
results are before the country though
the exact details are not yet known.
Ohio still stands nobly by the Re-
publican colors. Though a most
desperate and bitter fight was made
by the Democracy, and they conf
IDENTIFY predicted that by aid of the
German vote they would swing the
state into the Democratic column, the
returns show that the entire Repub-
lican State ticket is elected by 5000
to 5000 majority, an increase from
last year, and that we have gained
four certainly,and probably five Con-
gressmen from the Confederate De-
mocracy. The Buckeye state is sure
for her favorite son in November by
at least $4,000 majority.
In Indiana the Democratic State
ticket is elected by 1900 to 5000
majority, which is heavy Republi.
can gain from two years ago, when
the state gave Democratic majority
of over $4,000. But the loss of the
state ticket is more than compensa-
ted by Republican gain of three,
probably four members of Congress,
the delegation now standing nine
Republicans to four Democrats
This result includes the defeat of
Holman and Landers, Of the present
House. The lean majority by which
the Democracy carry the Hoosier
state, still subject as it is to possible
deductions as the returns come in,
and the result likely to be determin-
ed only by the official count, will
avail them nothing for effect upon
other states. This was the principal
significance Of the desperate strug
gle they made and the bas'ls of Til
denis money expended, and the im-
portation of, roughs and bHnmers
from other states. Notwithstanding
all this effort and expenditure of
money, they fail to hold their own,
winning the fight by a beggarly ma
jority of 5000, even with the green
back movement largely contributing
to their success. The election the
other day shows the inherent weak
ness of the party, and demonstrates
beyond reasonable doubt that the
| electora! vote of Indiana is sure for
Hayes by majority of at least
| 10000.

The Indianapolis correspondent OF
the Chicago Times, referring to the
importation of voters in the last cleo.
ton in Indiana, says:
"The money expended by both
parties to bring these scalawags into
the field has been just so many dol
lars thrown away, or contributed to
the whiskey dives and bagnios of
the city. Had the party taken this
money and gone into the market and
bought Hoosier votes, it would have
resulted in a majority of 100000"
Which is compliment to the av.
erage Hoosier voter that he will
doubtless appreciate, and it affords a
very easy explanation of the Demo-
cratic majority.
The correspondent further says:
eff any one supposes that the re-
suit in this state to-day is an indica-
ton of the will Of the people, OF that
it means anything whatever save
that one side or the other made the
best use Of fraudulent agencies, such
a superstition is a most egregious
blunder."

Mr.. GRIFFITH is being groomed

BOB Ingersoll said in a late speech:
CAT the time the Republican party

bosom, having gone through moass

with the light Of the North Star

ed child upon her breast-it would
have been an indictable offense to
have given her cup of cold water

was the duty of every Northern citi-
zen claiming to be freeman to

movement, and there are
comparatively few Democrats of any
degree but what continue with their
leaders and remain in the Democratic
party. To persist in the Independent
movement in the face of such facts
will not advance the greenback cause;
and will defeat the Republican party.
Such IS my view of the situation. By
this view | am governed. Were the
people moving from both the old
parties in anything like equal numbers
and in equal good faith to the hide
pendent party, the case would be
wholly changed. Such is my view of

TIE following spicy extracts from
Jones county papers may afford little
amusement for our readers:
The Eureka has made great puff and
blow about Johnny Monger Withdrawing
from the secretaryship of the Tilden and
Hendricks club in Dubuque. For the
enlightenment of that tlcamy sheet we
will state that johnny Monger withdrew
from the club to get rid of the company
of a couple of drunken turncoat Repuh
licans and that he has since openly stated
that he should cast his first Presidential
vote for Samuel J. Tilden, and not for
the representative of the most corrupt
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1876-10-13

This would give Mr.. Tilden fifteen
more votes in the Electoral college
than arc necessary.
1t is not contended that the above
named twenty-five States are
the only States Mr.. Tilden
can possibly carry. He has good
show for Ohio and Indiana as Hayes
has, and a fair prospect also of get
ting the vote of New Hampshire.
But these three States are mighty
uncertain. They cannot be relied
upon. The indications have been
for months that he Is more likely to
carry the twenty-five States first nam
ed than any Of the others, and that if
he looses through any mismanage,
ment, four or five of the Southern
States, Hayes and Wheeler will
probably be elected. There is a pos
slbillty that Mr.. Tilden might be
elected without the vote of South
Carolina and Florida; but it would
not do to risk the loss of the eleven
votes of those two States, for
fear one or two Of the Eastern or Pa
cifilc States above named may disap-
point us. 1t will never answer to
work for only. q bare moiority of
Electoral votes.
Under the circumstances will it
not be wise to carry eyery Southern
State AT ALL HAZARDS. There are
not United States troops enough
available to surround all the polls
throughout the South. Indeed, the
entire United States army, ii il were
practicable 10 withdraw it from 9TH
CT duties, is insufficient for the pur-
pose, if the Democrats of the South
determine to act in concert on elec-
ton day = to deposit their own votes
at an early hour, and then ia SEQ TO
1t that the negroes are not intimidat-
ed, brlbed, COOLED, or otherwise tam
pered with, by the carpet-baggers.
The stake to be played for on Tues
day, November 18th, is in the possess
ion of the government; and can be
won. But there must be no loose
talh beforehand.
The result Of the late election in
Vermont and Maine, admonish us
to contine our hopes and our efforts
to those States which we have
reasonable prospect cf carrying-the
more especially as there are more
than enough of them to elect orr
candidate.
Give us y SOLID Southern vote at
all hazards, and all will be right.
Without that vote the prospect is
gloomy, and success more than
doubtful.
