Tho Tippecanoe Meeting.

There was n monster mass meeting held on the

thousand people were present The stand for
speaking was erected on the old battle-line Of
Harrison IN 1914. a correspondent of the New
York Times Gays
"Mr Blaine was the first presented. and in one
hour made one of the best speeches of his life.
Its keynote was in one Of his earliest sentences,
which was, i do not arraign the democratic par

famous as to defy criticism / srragn it for what
il has done since the war; for what it did in the
last session Of Congress; what 1t has done in the

telling point with the statement of the Neal DOW
case, decided last week. by which Col. Dow must
pay Sl700 for sugar taken by the soldiers OF
his command during the war. His peroraiion was
grand; his tribute to the worth and claims OF
Ia,es and Harrison splendid.

POLIIIc4L,

There is no bloody shirt about it," says the In.
dianapolis Journal. "Tbe main question is wheth-
er the voters of the North want to pay the bills OF
the Southern Copfederscy"
The Democratic Convention in the Twenty first
four days without getting a candidate, and adj
journed until Oct. 6.
1t is a noticeable fact that several Southern
newspapers are writing sarcastic articles about
"The Boys in Blue" and cheering "The Solid
South" and at the same time complaining that
Northern journals are sectional.
The Cincinnati Times of Monday says that the
closing fortnight Of the campaign in Ohio opens
with the brightest promise of republican success
the negligence which came from over confidence
having given place to well.directed activity every.
where.
a democratic paper in North Carolina has thi,
suggestive statement; "a tar-heel went to Ches-
ter, S. c., with load Of chickens to sell. But il
leaked ont he was Settle man, and he could sell
nary ch icken in Chester, and had to drive on to
Wnsboro."
Tilden paper in New York compares the
Union veterans who assembled at Indianapolis TO
"monkeys," paraded "just as a Snowman paradcs
his monkeys and other animals out before the
spectators for the purpose of making capital for
his pocket" This is a little worse than calling
them ''trespassers" as Tlden did.
Our Ohio and Indiana exchanges reiterste the
charges that there is good authority for asserting
that the democrats actively engaged in import
ing votes from Kentucky for the purpose of over
coming the republican msjorties on an honest
vote in these States. The democracy is if posi-
BILE more desperate than ever. But then they are
now all "reiormers. ."-Aibany journal.
In reference to the "bayonet" order, Secretary
Cameron is reported to have said, in Nevada
"Our idea is only to see a fair election. If ne
gro wishes to vote the republican ticket, we pro-
pose to have him vote it, if we have to march
every United States soldier in the South TO the
polls to protect him. But we will give the same
prote to negroes who wish to vote The demo-
cratic ticket We want fair election; that is
ALL"
Mr.. William Bell, jr., the man who heads the
democratic ticket in Ohio, is another victim of too
much record. In October, 1882 he signed an ad-
dress to the demo cratic voters of Licking County,
contsining these words: "Suike! to save your
self from drafts, cons sciptions, uDrelentng inter-
minabe civil war, from an impending flood Of
free negroes, from a corrupt Congress and Ad-
crush the American people forever" Mr.. Bell
thinks the republican tendency to dig up dead
crimes is simply outrageous
