ANOTHER SHOT GUN CAMPAIGN.
lNTIMIDATING CoLoRED VOTERS.
The Democracy Must Assume Ii
Offensive.
CHICAGO, Auguat IL.
The Journals Washington correspond
ent saws: The South Carolina htpuoIl-
cans write here that the Democrats nave
| determined on inaugurating another shot-
gun campaign, and by Intimidation pre-.
vent the colored voters from turning ou'
in strong Republican counties. Ihe lem,
ocrats no longer fear the interference OF
United States troops, and are very pit'el
against the Republicans for not endorsing
Governor Hampton at the late cohsenl'on.
The policy TO he pursued Is laid down IN
Tho last ;ssue of the Charleston Neus aud
courier received here, as follows: As they,
the Republicans, have chosen to insult the
Democracy by charging them VITA carry
ing the last ell ction by fraud and force
end with the view of taking their solemn
nj, dg,s that no middle ground can be
taken, the Democracy must assume the
offensive at once. and give tile chiefs no
ouarter. 1t is likewise the duty OF the
Democrats to go to the Radical me tlngs
and insist on being heard, for, unless this
be done, the masses of the colored people
will remain at tie mercy OF the unscrupu-
lous ~demagogues who have their ear. The
Democrats must divide the time, and pur-
sue TO this bitter end, in the courts, every
Radical now under charges. who has joined
in slandering the Democracy n opposes
their candidates. In these signs alone,
by vigor, aggressiyeness, audacity, and in
cessant work, shall we see the Democracy
once more conquer.
Ben Buffers Opinion of Kcaraey
ani the Lying Press.
New YORK, August IA.
A Herald reporter interviewed Butler
Yesterday. He said Kearney is not en-
dorsed by me, and lie knows his own bust
ness, as | do mine. Swelling with indigna-
ton, his cheeks putting, and his voice cast
in a high pitch, Butler continued: Oh,
the lying press the infamous lying press
of Massachusetts asserted that / brought
the man East; that l paid him his ex-
pfnses and gave him money to go on.
What fair play can be exp cited from such
liars you know what God says in the
Bible about lying: but let that pass. l
have nothing to do with Kearney what
ever he has come East TO please himself /;
the true and honest things he may utter
have my approval, and the foolish and
absurd things l can only grieve over. l
believe he means honestly, though he may
have an unusual style of expression but
you cannot expect a rose from q thistle,
and you must look to the nature OF the
causes which produce such men and make
them possible. Kearney is not here of my
invitation he is here, as / understand it,
sol ly and wholly on his own RESPONSE
bility.
Political Matters.
MAMILoN, Ohio, August 14.-Senator
Thurman spoke to a large audience here
to-day. He first defended his action in
accepting the OHIO Democratic platform.
and argued that he was consistent in the
acceptance. He gave a seri 3 of reasons
for preferring g~reenbacks to National Bank
notes. Tlere were, tirst-National Bank
currency means the indefinite perpetuation
of the national debt; second, the National
Bank system tends to combine q discount
rate and intensity the money power; third,
the National Bank circulation is a special
privilege that puts many millions of dol
lars annually into the pockets OF the share
holders, and takes as many millions annu-
ally out Of tie pockets Of the people. He
went into an extended analysis of the State
! platform, showing thatit was not favorable
to initiation or kiting," but demanded
what the people had long asked for.
