"Whv?"
because State pride is thicker than
mere sentiment. II Ewing can carry
Ohio. Democrats will argue that Thur
man can carry it also, and the result
will be that he will go 10 the National
convention with OhiO's forty-four votes
behind him.
"Then il the Democrats carry New
York and Ohio, that settles 1880, doesnt
it?"
at does, if we don't kick it all over
again. All We need is forty-seven
Northern electoral votes. New York
and Ohio gives us fifty-seven. Indiana
gives us fifteen more. Connecticut Is
more ours than it is the Republicans;
New Jersey never has but once voted
for Republican candidate Tor the Pres
idencv. We can carry Oregon unless
she is stolen or bought from us. These
and other sundry reasons moving, |
have no much doubt OF Democratic
victory in 1880

ain that event, | think good many
Democrats will take to the tall timber.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE,
East xyash,urton.

EGftor Star:-An article has just appeared in
your widely circulated journal calculated to d.
great injustice to Capitol Hill. The writer pur-
ports to give the figures in round numbers spent
IN Fast Washington during the Feather -dus-
ter days, when We endured the horrors of So
called universal suffrage. From what source
comes thlS mathematical calculation? Is IL de-
rived from tie ''Dt5trct accounts composed of
'Magruder StubS," and other kinks which no
human ingenuity can unravel? Have we not
mad the most distinguished boOkkeeperS from
New YORK and Philadelphia to 'Straighten I'D"
the DOCKS, all TO no purpose? We are charged
for an immense sewer Which has no more to do
with the drainage OF Capitol Hill than If it had
Teen built in Dahomey; a pavement on East
Cal 1'0l street, with plaster OF mud spre i'd
over the rotten wood pavement, almost within
stones throw of the national Capitol: two or
hlee parks on the line CT PENNSYLVANIA avenue
lramed In this same horrible debris: few cob
blest0Les put where they Will do the most good
ana @ the 81 sum total OF East Washington improve
mentS are complete. We entreat Congress and
tie nation to look at Capitol HILL the fairest
portion OF our city, which now lies prostrate
under the bronzed heel Of the 'West End" In
every department OF the District government we
are as VOlceleSS as the tomb. The doors of the
ring are closed against us because we have no
Donds! Ihe brave strong words of our men, and
passed by as the idle wind. But now voice IS
heard that cannot be silenced. 1t is the horror
OF the pestilence that is breeding in the sewer
vas conceived in SelfishnesS and brought forth
in ignorance, is the monster which has deprived
us OF our meager supply OF water. 1t costs
twenty dollars day to pump the water away
from Capitol Hill, for which we are assessed our
proper proportion. We are also taxed for the
water which we never see. The citizens of
Capitol Hill have organized, animated by the
same spirit which inspired our forefathers to
battle against despotism and wrong The Spire
OF the church where George Washington wor-
shipped tlingS its shadow over our mortgaged
and lax ridden homes. Under the very Wins
OF the Capitol our streets and avenues radiate:
ard our law makers are the successors of the
great men or other days The sewer traps have
the 1loor, gentlemen! Lend us your ears!
