when you, Judging from the Sun edi-
torials are wearing the gilded collar
of servitude to the designers Of sys-

berry and legalized depletion.
'sLet him who is guiltless cast the
first stone Stopaccusing others Tor
doing openly what you, proffered
friend of the rights Of man, are doing
secretly. Make your actions square
with your professions. Free Amer.
cans can not be kept in ignorance OF
the threatened danger to their lnstltu-
lions and liberties, and the leading
journalists of America can have but a
short time to choose between duty ano
and disgrace.
AS a people we are making history
with rapidity that may not De

Hoping that you may soon realize
that 'sdelays are dangerous, IS the
eornest desire of one, who although al
admirer of your transcendent abilities
feels impelled to faithfully express
profound regret at their debasemen

and justice.

7uF NEW YORK SUN REBUKED.

&C. Beecher Livonia n. \. thus
writes to the editor of the New York
Sun:
Having watched the course OF the
New York Sun since the meeting OF
the national convention at lndlanapo-
lis. we are lin all fairness" compelled
to assert that its treatment OF the In.
dependent party and the financial
question has never had one element
of fairness. or desire to let its read
ers know the truth, and we discovered
in that connection nothing but either
willful ignorance or studied malice.
Tt is for you. Mr.. Dana, to choose
which horn of the dilemma you are
to be impaled on when the present be-
comes past history. !,
You are unsparing in exposure and
and censure of savings banks, insur-
ance companies, &c. who all know
are robbing the people, but we have
cot to learn of single effort on your
mart to warn the people of the designs
of those who have controlled legisla.
tion on the financial question, and
dominate the majority of the metro
politan press. Seriously, Mr.. Dana,
the intelligent readers of the Sun are
disguised with your childish attacks

ity Of more than $4,000 of all the votes
cast. IF Mr.. Gear has majority at
all this year. it will not exceed 5,OoO
votes.
Bishop is elected governor of Ohio
but by minority Of the votes cast.
His majority is clearly only plurall-
ty, and his vote will fall from $4,000
to $4,000 short Of that cast for VII
liam Allen in 1875. The talk Of Bish-
ops s.majority'' is Buncombe. He
did not receive a majority of the
votes, but on the contrary is in the
minority by not less than 5000 votes.
Here are few facts concerning these
elections:
First. The Democratic vote IN both
states shows heavy falling Off as
compared with the same vote in 1873
and 1876.
Second. The Republican vote shows
a still heavier falling off as compared
to the same vote in 1875 and 1876,
Third. Bishop is made governor OF
Ohio by minority Of the votes cast
and not majority as claimed.
| Fourth. The Greenback vote IN
Iowa increased from 9,OO1 votes fo1
Peter Cooper in 1885 to about 40,OOO
for Stubs in 1877, growth of more
than four hundred per cent. In ONO
it grew from 1853 votes cast for Peter
Cooper in 1875 to not less than 10000
for the Greenback and Labor candl
dates in 1877, an increase Of 1000 pei
cent. The old party organs are wei
come to all the consolation they cal
extract from these facts. 1t is cleal
to the merest tyro in mathematic'
that the ratio of increase Of thel
votes and methods of reckoning ma
jorities will place the nation in tn.
hands of the Independent Greenbacl
party in 1880 and Greenback governor
over a majority of the states.-in

NOW FOR WORK.

We are indeed glad to be able TO
state that the Greenback Party OF CHI
cago has formally united with the
Workingmen' party of this city, TO
form the Industrial Greenback Party'
hereafter to work together as one par
ty. for the advancement OF the Uree ~
back cause, and the redemption OIL Id
Dor from bondage to idleness.
This makes the Industrial Greeh-
back party of Chicago masters OF tne
situation. and able, by patient honests
united effort, to control the VoCe VI
this CITY and it's affairs. In this move
there is honor and usefulness, and we
feel Glad that a fusion and uniting OF
interests have been effected that
Grove to be great strength to the
canse of labor protection, and the
6lling the country with money and
nrosnerous mechanics rather than with
fax-collectors and tramps. Myron
Rurdick. Cameron, Boyden and
Springer, on behalf of the GreenbacB
men, have been patient and discreet
as the sworkingmen'' have been wise
in this move. We begin to see vic
tory approaching for the cause of in
dustry.
Let these two elements unite anc
work faithfully together, then the Ole
parties will die together and both bt
buried. Democrat.

THE OHIO AND IOWA ELECTIONS.

Southern policy was carried by the
Republicans, on Tuesday, by about
the usual majority.-Terre Hdufe
Courier.
The Democratic victory in Ohio
grows bigger and bigger. Mr.. Bishops
majority already exceeds 2l,OoO. and
will, it is thought, reach $4,000. The
Democratic majority in the legisla-
ture is overwhelming outnumberlng
their opponents. as they DO,
almost two to one. 1t is worthy
of note by those people who insist
that it is all because of the president S
southern policy, that in Iowa, where
that policy is supposed to be exceed
ingly unpopular, and where the state
| convention refused to indorse 1t, the
Republican majority is 10000 greater
than that of the last ''off' year.-New
| York Tribune.
Ohio isn't the only state, that held
an election Tuesday. though there
seems some little tendency to forget
the fact. Iowa. the first state to an
tagonize Hayess Southern policy IN
its Republican convention, gave the
Republican ticket 10000 majority.
They had time to think better of it
there. Ohio will have time before
next tober.-Pioneer-P Press.

samples of current newspaper COM
ments on the Ohio and Iowa elections.
contain an unusual amount Of inaccu-
racy or Misrepresentation of facts.
Instead of carrying Iowa by the ssusu-
al majority it is yet very serious
question whether the Republicans
have a majority at all. The latest ac-
counts indicate that the Greenback
vote for Stubs was greater than the
Republican majority over Irish the
Democratic candidate. Ii so, then

CALIFORNIA; ELECTION LAW.

California has an election law de-
signed to prevent fraudulent voting,
which surrounds the process with re-
straints and safeguards quite unknown
elsewhere. The Worcester Spy, cpl
tomises it: The precise quality and
color Of the paper used for the ballots
is prescribed, and the secretary OF
the state is required to furnish it to
applicants in such quantities as they
desire, and the paper for this purpose
is in practice all obtained from him,
as that procured from other sources
might not meet the stringent require
ments of the law, and the votes print
ed on it would then be wasted. The
size of the ballots is also prescribed;
they must be eighteen inches long
and five inches wide, and the names OF
candidates must be printed IN the
type known to printers as ''long prlm-
er old style Roman" These precau-
tions were taken to protect voters
from the outside influence to which
they might be exposed if the charac-
ter of their ballots could be determ-
med by their general appearance. 1t
is said that at certain election be-
fore this law was passed the persons
EMPLOYED at the navy yard were sup
piled with ballots only half an inch

who failed to put one Of those shoe

great fuss about a man in Valparaiso
who recently picked up a horse and
carried it across the street. 1t IS
easy enough to pick up horse ii you
know how. The best way is to let

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY

writes to this Office letter, portion
of which is as follows. We commend
it to our readers with suggestion that
they cut it out, paste it IN their mats,

after they have read what our cores
pondent says:
We have waded the muddy streets
in torchlight professions, and shouted
ourselves hoarse for the leaders OF the
old political parties, without ever Tor
q moment pausing to ask them what
they were going to do for us, or now
they would steer the old ship OF state
that we have so blindly handed over to
their care, until today we see the no.

Wholesale plundering. When the peo-
pie find out how badly they have been
swindled by corrupt legislation under
the pretext of saving the nation and
strengthening the credit Of the gov

DECORATION Day esterday was
the day set apart by common consent,
to offer the annual tribute of respect to
the memory Of the fallen warriors, who
died that we, as a nation, might live.
The attendance was fully as large as
on previous years, and the services
equally impressive.
Pursuant to previous notice a pro-
cession was formed about two o'clock,
in the Market Square, under the super
vision Of Capt. E. G. Timme, and con-
lsisting of Capt. De Diemar's company

uniform, the Odd Fellows in regalia
and the Temple Of Honor, temperance
society, which, headed by the National
Band, proceeded to move through Main
Street to the Park.
AT the Park after the usual exercis-
es, speeches were made by Hon. j. V.
Quarles, Rev. II. NJ. Simmons and 9TH
ers, after which, the line of march was
resumed to the city cemetery, where
the usual beautiful ceremonies of the
day were performed. The event was
quite generally observed throughout
the city, by cessation of work in the
manufactures and closing of the prin-
cipal business houses, banks, sc. The
floral decorations were in many cases
beautiful and costly, and constituted
an eloquent tribute to departed worth.
