employing reputable men to watch tn
polling places on election day, and the bal
lot-boxes afterward, and to labor in al
proper and lawful ways to secure a fair an,
honest vote and count; the Commercial
and Gazette TO contribute one thousant
dollars Isl, ,000) to this fund; the men to b.
selected to perform this service to be one
half Democrats and one-half Re
publicans; the Democrats to be chosen b,
an acceptable agent named by the Enuuir
er, and the Republicans to be chosen by az
agent or by agents selected by the CONNER
clal and Gazette, or by either of those Jour
nails that may join us in this effort to Sc
cure fair election. This proposition vii
remain open this day till midnight an(
the check of Messrs Faran & Mclean fo,
81, 200 till that time will wait to join tha
of the Gazette Company and the
Commercial. Company for $1,000 each
or the check of either of them
for 1000, on the conditions and for the
purposes above named The Enquirer calls
attention to the fact that the Seitz law
makes it felony, punishable by imprison
ment IN the Penitentiary,,, for any nployel
oil hands or his agent or foreman to threaten
employer with reduction OF wages or dis.
charge if they do not vote as he wishes
them to, or for his refusal to grant them
time to go to the polls and vote.
The Enquirer says of the Weber-Sutton
lmbroglio: If there is vulnerable man
among the four Commissioners that man is
Ex-Commissioner Daniel Weber. Neither
he nor his friends must complain when the
case is fully stated against him, nor must
they grleve when his private character is
looked into as seems to be the position OF
the men who are conducting the ISLANDERS
and Vlllainous attacks on Mr. Sutton,
The Commercial says that the Democ rat
lc organ here pronounces this distribution
OF gold Fan election dodge" The fact is, it
adds, the Treasury having more gold on
hand than is needed as a reserve with A
tendency to accumulate, seeks to put out
the surplus, and to that extent initiate the
volume of the currency; and this fact OF
itself, and without reference to politics,
accounts for the appearance of the BRIGHT
yellow gold pieces in the hands of the
people. Resumption has not only come to
stay, but to give the people option of
either silver, gold or paper dollars, as they
may prefer. 1t says OF the charge made
that the paying out of gold is political
trick, 1t is cheap trick, if it is one. It
hasn't cost the employers a cent to ex-
change their bank notes ard greenbacks for
gold. They do not deserve any particular
credit for doing it. Gold is as abundant
and cheap as any other money.-With ref
erence TO the Indian troubles: The out.
break OF the Ute Indians and the severe
handling of Lieutenant Payne's little COM
mand, after the death of Major Thorn
burgh, has created the widest alarm
among the white settlers in Wyoming
Territory and Colorado; but beyond the
manifest uneasness of few tribes on the
reservations, there is not yet any evidence
OF general Indian uprising, and every day
will now diminish the probability of it.
There will be no extensive Indian war this
year. 1t is too late in the season for one
thing and sufficient time has elapsed since
the attack on Thornburgh's detachment of
troops to show that there is no concert of
action among the savages.
The Gazette says of Mr.. Tilden's alleged
interest in the Ohio election: He intends to
be President, and of course he would de-. |
sire Democratic Congress. TO this end If |
is important to carry Ohio and the Leeisla, |
ture this year in order that Thurman's seat
IN the Senate may not be filled bya Re-
pupiican, ana in ORDER further,
that the rascally Democratic gerrvman.
der for Congressional PURPOSES nav
be maintained. Thurman may be Jealous
Of Tilden. He has reason to be. because
lllden's success means Thurman's political
death; but Tiden cares nothing about
Thurman He knows that in any event he
has his hand upon the latter's throat
The Gazette says of the possible candi-
lacy of Gen. Grant for President that when
great section and party openly threaten
The forcible seizure of the Republic. and
me determination to. support it by arms,
pie who are loyal to Republican
government should look to dis
,inguished soldier for leader? When the
ame enemy lifts up his head and threat.
ms 10 strike again, what so natural as that
he people should look for a leader to the
great soldier who led them to victory? 1t
S the Democratic threat of war that makes
he Northern people talk of soldier cam
lidate.-When George Ziegler was removed
