PRESIDENT, 1910. GOVERNOR 1868.
Harrison Van Buren, Griswotd HufYm'n

Van Bnrens majority 7.6.
Il nlnan's majority II ,4l3.
Mr.. Tilden, you know what this
contrast attests. Right well do you
comprehend the means whereby the
vote of 1868 was thus sweIled out OF
all proportions. There are not $4,000
legal voters in these wards to-day,
though they gave Hoffman II, 443 ma
jority. Had the day been of average
length it would doubtless have been
swelled to 10000. There was nothing
but time needed to make it LOG, 600 If
so many had been wanted and paid
for.
Now, Mr.. Tilden, call on you to
put stop to this business. You have
but to walk into the sherifi's, mayors,
and the supervisors offices in the City
Hall Park, and say that there must be
no more of it,--say it so that there
shall be no doubt that you mean it,
and we shall have a toierably fair
election once more. Probably a good
part of the $1,000 supplied last fall
with bogus naturalization certificates
will offer to register and to vote,-
some of them pretending not to know
that there are no more citizens of the
United States than the King of Da-
honey is--but very few will vote re-
peatedly unless paid for it, and we
shall not be cheated more than 10000
if you simply tell the boss workmen
that there must be no more illegal
voting instigated and paid for.
Will you do it? Your reputation
is at stake. The cowardly craft which
Would not play false, and yet would wrongly
win,
will not avail. If we Republicans are
swindled again as we were swindled
last fall, you and such as you will be
responsible to God and man for the
outrage.
Prosecutors, magistrates, municipal
authorities, are all in the pool; we
have no hope from the ministers of
justice, and the villains have no fear
of the terrors of the law. Iappeal to
you, and anxiously await the result.
Yours. IIoRAcE GREELEY.

Farming vs.. Profession.

The Maine Mirror gives the testi-
mony of New Hampshire boy, now
resident of Wisconsin, a fine schol-
ar, a graduate Of Dartmouth, and a
law student in Merrimac county, who,
Just previous to his admission to the
bar, took a severe cold which render
ed him very deaf, and no medical
skill was able to restore his hearing.
This affection compelled him to give
up his chosen profession, and he went
West very much broken down in
spirits. For ten years he has been
farming, cultivating about 200 acres
of prairie land, and, as he expressed
1t, making a good living and sailing
down something every year. And HI

now knows, he was to begin his active
life over again, he would do Just a

a ceorgian's vicissitudes


A correspondent furnishes us with
the annexed account of the perilous
adventures of Jake Rump: "Thirty-
five years ago, or thereabouts, there
lived in Southwest Georgia, a wiry-
haired, carroty-headed, freckle faced
backwoodsman by the name of Jake
Rump, who passed through the fol-
lowing perils before he arrived at the
age of % years. lie was first strick-
en- by lightning; then on two sepa-
rate occasions he was bitten by rattle
snakes; then he was bitten by a cot
ton mouth moccasin; afterward he
was thrown from a wild horse and
had one arm and one leg broken.
But short time after recovering
from his fractures, he and young
brother, while searching for their
cows late one afternoon, were attack
ed by a large panther, which caught
Jake, dragged him at least the fourth
of a mile to dense hammock, where
it deposited its prey and proceeded to
cover him with leaves and brush.
The panther then retired short dis
lance when Jake crawled forth and
made his escape. The panther was a
huge animal, and had crushed Jake's
shoulder terribly; yet he soon recov-
cred. Soon after his shoulder healed
up he made an attempt to run off with
a neighbours wife, was pursued, over
taken, shot, badly wounded, and was
afterwards stricken several times
with knife, and left in the road as
dead, In time he recovered and stole
from neighbor pig, for which he
was sent to the Penitentiary for a
term of years, where / lost sight of
him."

In January, 1862, in speech at In
dianapolis, Thos. A. Hendricks made
tha fnlla w in1r danlo ~ ton

In January. 1862, in a speech at In
dianapolis, Thos. A. Hendricks made
the following declaration:
IF the war being prosecuted shall
have the effect of abolishing our mar
ket In the South by destroying the pc
cuiiar system of labor in that section,
then could ddrise the Northwest to
look out for Itself"
Hendricks was Copperhead of the
deepest dye, but as artful as a weasel.
No prominent man in this land has
received and merited the name of
artfnl dodger and skillful trimmer as
has Tom Hendricks. In this respect,
he is even more cautious than Tilden,
but both of them are of the same
type in this regard. Hendricks, in
the above remarks, was making a
trimming thrust at the prosecution of
the war against the rebellion, and in
doing so, he spoke the fnllness and
the bitterness of his heart, when he
suggested in guarded words that the
Northwest should get up rebellion.
/" IT. says Tom, "the prosecution of
the war shall abolish our market in
@ the South by destroying the peculiar
system of labor there" which being
interpreted is, if 10 save the Union
the accursed institution of slavery
shall be abolished, our market be
destroyed, and we get no share i'm the
blood and toll Of the slave, II WOULD
I" ADVISE THE NORTHWEST TO LOOK OUT
FOR ITsELF!" 1t is well remember
cd that about this time an extraOr-
binary effort was made and continued
all along during the war to divide the
East and the West, to break the unity
Of the solid front the whole North
Qess Copperheads) bore toward the
rebellion, and the wary. cautious
political weathercock, Hendricks,
vcntured this sop to his party in that
great crisis. Says Tommy, if we
are going to lose the trade that we
get out of slavery, to save this nation,
why, we better, here in the North
west, 60 it alone and look out for
ourselves. About that time, Hen
bricks was chosen u. S. Senator by
that Democratic Legislature of In
diana, that locked up the treasury OF
the State against Morton, and would
not let him have a dollar to send SOL
diers to the front, and Morton had to
go down to Washington, and old Abe
let him have few thousands, and he
came home and the way he made the
Democratic Knights of the Golden
Circle come to time, all remember.
The fact was he squelched by force a
Democratic rebellion right there in
the State of Indiana. And for this.
this Democratic reform party at
tempted 10 call him to account for
wrong use of the public funds. Such
were the chaps Hendricks made the
to,above quoted, and such the
chaps who sent him us their fit rep.

Crazy Horse on His Way to the
Red Cloud Agency.
A Council Held at the Camp OF the
cheyennes.

OMAHA, July 29.-An official tele-
gram from Fort Laramie says that
courier, who has just arrived from
Red Cloud Agency, says Red Cloud
told him that Crazy Horse was coming
into the Agency very soon, and that
his band was now on the way there.
Twenty lodges had already arrived.
Crazy Horse has sent werd to Captain
Egan that he wants to see him, shake
hands, make treaty and be friends.
The Indians lately arrived wont talk
about the fight, and pretend to know
nothing of it. A council was held at
the Cheyenne camp while the courier
was detained there, to talk over the
change from civil to military authori.
ty. Many opposed it. Red Cloud
has expressed satisfaction at tht
change.
1t Is apprehended that amy attempt.

The first thing President Tilden

The above is the clap-trap of dem

Democratic administration would do
would be to steal the money in the

last act Of the democracy in power
