Another Man of the Moment.

Hartford (Conn } Times: Edward
II Gillette, the successful Green
hacker and Democratic candidate
for Congress in the Seventh Iowa
district, telegraphs to-day to his fa
Their. the Hon. Francis Gillette, of
this city, that he is elected by 1000
majority. This is certainly great
triumph for this Hartford young
man. He left Hartford a year ago,
went out to Iowa and tried to make
a living as brick maker; was nom
mated by the greenhackers, and
then by the Democrats, in that dis
trict that at the last election gave
republican majority of 5000, and
went into the canvass without a
dollar to aid him. Against the
money and the organization of the
Republicans he brought nothing
but a personally spirited contest,
and depended wholly for what
money he obtained upon the sales
of newspapers and documents
which he carried with him, and sold
at ten cents each from the platform,
and by going personally about
among the crowd. That he should,
under such circumstances nnihilate
a republican majority of 5000 and
change it into majority of about
a thousand the other way, is ties
timony to his popularity and doubt.
less also to the favor with which
his political ideas are regarded in

The Danger of the Democracy.

At the close of the last Presiden
tial election, says the Mobile Reg
ter, when the soul of the nation was
outraged by the triumph of fraud
over the expressed will of the Amer
lean people, the prospects of the
Democratic party for victory at the
next presidential election were as
sured and certain. To day, while
the outlook is yet cheerful, and yet
gives ground for hope of success,
still an element of disorganization
has been introduced into the party
which may be fruitful of trouble
and disaster in the future. This
element is the Greenback heresy, an
influence potent for evil, a Pando-
ra's box Of discord and EVIL for the
party and the country. The posi-
ton of the Democratic party in the
past upon this question has been
plain and unequivocal. We consider
it unfortunate that any portion of
the Democratic party has been de
luded by the sophistical arguments
of the Green hackers. The sound
and practical opinion of the coun-
try is against the heresy, and quiet
and sensible men wish TO take no
stock in the organization, one of
whose chief apostles is Butler, of
Massachusetts. Every member of
the Democratic party should stand
by his colors-the colors of homes
", common sense and greenback
money, nor 20 go after any idols
that the greenhack POLITICIANS are
raising throughout the land. Vic
tory is within our grasp-let us not
throw it away.

Knoxyille Tribune: When the
carpet baggers Of SOUTH Carolina
were in the height of their glory, it
seemed that it did pay to dwell in
the tents of wIckedness, but events
have shown that the old maxim was
correct and that honest dealing
pays better IL the long run than
the sudden accumulation Qi wealth
by corrupt means. tx Governor
Moses, of South Carolina. was one
of the brightest of the Radical poll
tIcians of that State, and for time
was considered wealthy. The 9th
er day he was in New York. and
was compelled TO beg from an old

The Game Law.

may also be killed till the first of
April next; but it is not lawful at
any time to kill or capture any
brown thrush, cat bird, house wren,
oriole, wood Robin, bluebird, house
martin, or destroy their nests. 1t
is not lawful for six years, from
March 30, 1877, to capture mocking
Firds, or buy or sell the same, and

Desperate Game of the Republicans.

Washington Post: The Repub-
licans know that their financial pol
icy has been condemned. They I'm
derstand perfectly that they have no
more show of electing a majority of
members in the next House than
they have of obtaining control of
the government of France. They
are fighting now for one thing only,
and that is to prevent, if possible,
the control of a majority of the unit
or Presidential votes of the States
in the next House. 1t was Tor that
purpose that they sowed Colorado
with money, and that was their OBJ
ject in concentrating their October
efforts upon the two Cincinnati dis
tricts, hoping thereby to tie the
Ohio delegation. In fact, the whole
drift of the Radical party mango
ment since the Maine election has
been taken with reference to the
possibility of an election by The
House in 1881. The Republicans
do not, indeed, hope to obtain
control of the next House for them
selves, but they are bending every
effort to prevent the Democrats
from getting 1T. The meaning of
this strategy is plain. If they can
prevent the Democrats from con-
trolling a majority of the States,
their next movement will be 20 pro-
mote the Greenback movement in
Democratic States, in 1880, in the
hope of preventing a Democratic
majority in the Electoral College.
Then the House would be unable to
elect and upon that pretext the Rad
ical leaders intend to seize the gov
eminent This is an intricate pro-
gramme, but it is a desperate one,
and when we survey the possibili
ties in regard to the unit votes OF
the States in the next House, it be-
comes alarming. In short, and to
sum up, we have positive knowledge
that the sole aim of the Republican
managers is to prevent the Demo
Gratis from obtaining a clear major
ity in the delegations of twenty
States in the next House. If they
can do this, they will consider the
situation for 1880 still open to their
genius for intrigue, fraud and revo
lution

The following eloquent extract

the Democracy of the Sixth Dis
triot Tor Congress, will meet with q

the victory of the Appomatox is
the victory won by the people of
the North in their noblesnnd gener-
ons contributions to the suffering
South. Upon that fated field the
South surrendered her sword

OF the pestilence, beside the new

Money Wanted.

Washington Star: That places
in Congress ARE bought with dol
lars and cents might be the hasty
conclusion of some people il the APP
pesls which are made daily upon the
Republican and Democratic cam
paign committees should be pub
lished. It has often been a subject
of wonder to the uninitiated why a
candidate, sure co be in the minor
ity, is willing to go through can
vass, only for the purpose OF being
defeated, why Republicans in the
South and in the West consent TO
run in districts which have the dem
ocratic majorities high up in the
thousands, and Democrats consent
to run in Republican districts simi
larly fixed. The mystery seems to
be solved. Wher struggling can
didate in this position has received
a nomination he comes straightway
to Washington and gives assuran-
ces seeming as strong as proof
from holy writ that he can be elect
Ell If he can only get some money
greeenbacks will do-sent into his
district. Within the last three
weeks the two campaign commit
tees have been importuned to send
money into such districts; the can
didatc is anxious, and while the
committee knows the money will
not avail to overturn decided major
tiles, the candidate Is so solicitous
as to breed suspicion that if money
is given he alone will be the bene
fiCiary. The Republican committee
is in receipt OF letters asking mon
ey, from North Carolina, Maryland,
Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and
elseYhere-those which usually send
solid Democratic delegations to
Congress; whereas the ticket in
Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, and such
States make like demands upon the
Democratic committee. 1t would
seem from reading some of the APP
peals, that money, otter all is the
Arehimedian lever with which ma
jorities are removed.
