The voter who is IN search of Green
back party, cannot do better than come
INTO the Democratic party-the only
party which has the will and at the same
time the power to accomplish anything
for the workingmsn.
In the past, until recently, the Rcpub-
lics0s held control Of both branches OF
Congress, and had the Executive SIS well
In the last three years the Democrats
have had one branch cf Congress, but
the Republicans held the other
branch and the President
and were thus able to thwsrt
the efforts Of the House, when it attempt
ed to briug relief to the Industries of the
country.
Next March, for the first time in many
year., the Senate viii. be Democratic ;
and with q Democratic House elected

THE hue and cry which has been rails
ed about the "Indisn depredstions" on
the frontier docs not find much favor
with the best Indian tighter in the army
Con. GEORGE CROOK. He says that
the Bannocks have his wsrmest sympa-
Thy. They have been our faithful friends
and allies for years, and have been SO i'll
treated that resistance was their only sal
valion. They were not even half fed, and
the agent sent them of to the prsiries
for halt a year TO live on whatever
they could find. The buffsloes have all
gone and the only thing else which they
could live on WAS root which resem-
bles sweet potato. This too, gave out,
and they went to war to try to get food
for their starving squsws and children.
Now the army is sent out to kill them
and sill sorts of stories are told of their
bsrbsrity by the agents who have grown
rich on their steslings. General CROOK
says the present Indian policy is an out
rage, and he ought to know what he Is
talking about if anyone does.

AMERICANS have never fully realized
what blessing Canada is to them, until
now. A brass band tournament is being
held in Montreal, in which there are SIX
teen bands in active competition. Ii
there was no such place as Canada, then,
partorco, the tournament would have
been held in this country, and it
would hsye been worse than another ses-
sion Of Congress. Should this terrible
scourgc break out in the States 1t should
be promptly suppressed, ard no effort
should be made to capture the ringlead-
era alive.

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The Committee having decided upon
the time and place for holding the Con-
vention for the nomination Of candi-
date for Congress, it will be interesting to
those who expect to take a part in the

the popular vote IN each county. We
therefore append The vote cast for both
Congressman and President at the last
general election IN this State, so that all
may see Just Whist weight each county
will have in the Convention. The
Democratic vote in this District in a
square pull between parties aud on q full

suppose this falling of is partly due to
falling of in the number of Ohio teams

A mass meeting Of the Socialistic La.

held last night at the Germania Assem-.
by Rooms, in the Bowery. Robert Y.
bartholomie occupied the chair and in
troduced as the first speaker Henri
Druary, who referred to the late at.
tempted assassination Of the emperor of
Germany. He was, be said, opposed to
assassination Of any kind, and thought
that DR.. Nobling should be hanged at
once, and that Bismarck aud the empe-
ror shoold be hanged on either aide of
him, because they had been the cause of
the assassination Of 10000 men in the
field of battle. he concluded by say.
ing that they, the Socialists, we're a DO.
litical party, but we're not a party of
politicians. Other speakers addressed
the meeting in German and French. At
the conclusion Of the meeting Justus
Schwsb said the trades unionsi in Chicago
would turn out to-day in great force, and
that a large number Of them would be
armed.
The following preamble and resolu-
tons were then adopted:

make the Socialists responsible for any

sion Of the nation, always produce ind.

denim the tendency Of the greater part OF

being in the highest degree inimical to

spirit of q rebublic, and inhumap, in the
interest of retrogressiou and tyranny, by

The German government (which means
Bismarck should not have exhibited
the %trepidation it has over the Socialis.
tic developments. The proposed re.
pressive measures will work very badly.
They will neeessitste an abandonment
of the liberality which has distinguished
the growth of the National Liberal
party, excite a massive resistance to the
government and lead to complete CEN
trahzatiou; for a bill like that approved
by the bundesrath or federal council
will necessarily be brought to bear upon
all opponents of the government, includ.
lag the National liberals, and they too
will experience the beauties of repres-
sion at the elections. The following is
the text Of the anti Socialist bill which

We, William, in the name of the
German empire, and with the consent of
the 'Bundesrath and 'Reichstag, do
hereby order as fellows:

Bandesrath. This order must be pub
lished and communicated to the Reich
stag forthwith, or, il not in session,

scinded at the option OF the Reichstag.'
Section 2. The circulation of printed
matter on the public streets, highways or
other public places, may be temporarily
stopped by the police authorities if the
said printed matter ia of the kind to

Of the police will be void if it be not

latest evidence of the extremity of the
Nationals was a local notice in the Ava.

a National club had been organized in

local stated that P. T. B. Cople was the
president of the club, j.. l.. Harris sec.

that there are only two persons in the
