BErLEoT.-The returns Of the recent
election held in Chicago, show that
every fifth voter in that city Is Com.
munist. Farmers and property holders,
look all such men square in the face
and ask them, "why do you demand
that we should divide our property
with you2 Yog never contributed one
cent toward its purchase" This all
arises from trampism, which the moral
idea venders have entailod upon us,
The only way to cure this moral crime
and make honest men out OF these
drones OF society, is TO vote the Dem
ocratio ticket until the policy of that
party covers the Continent, Then We
will have truly restored Union, peace
and abiding prosperity.

WHAT HE WANTED.

General Garfield, of Ohio, Republi
can politician in Congress who would
like firstrate to be nominated for Gov
ernor Of that State, made speech the
other day, in which hc INDUCED in q
great deal of bombast, and opposed the
right of Congress to do in 1879 what
he swore it had tho right to do in 1872.
The Philadelphia Times thus tells what
Garfeld's speech was made for and
what he wanted to provoke by it;
"Gen. Garfield s revolutionary speech
OF Saturday last was made for two pur.
poses; first, to sound the long roll OF
despair to shattered Republican lines !;
and, second, to provoke a foolish an
swer from some Confederate Brigadier
to do for General Garfield and his rev.
olutionary associates what they can't
do for themselves.
Doubtless General Garfield will be
answered, and the only question is
whether he will be answered as truth
and patriotism dictate, or as hc hopes
and earnestly desires to be answered.
Truth and patriotism would dictate
that some dispassionately expose his
awkward exhibition as q demagogue
by reading his record on precisely the
same issue in 1875, when he was to
the front in the support OF what he
now denounces as rebellious. Such an
answer, made in twenty or thirty min
utes would end the debate, unless both
sides are fearfully beset with irrepressi.
BILE fools.
The answer that General Garfield
most wants and that he exhausted all
the arts of the demagogue and falsifer
TO obtain, is the ebullition Of some hot
spur Of the South, who will be tempted
into an eloquent defense OF Jefferson
Davis or lashed into q fresh bubbling
over of stream of rebel tomfoolery
If that tails, Garfeld's speech will be q
failure, and all the dividends he will
gather for revolutionary party pur.
poses will be the silly bOmbast Of some
booted and spurred Confederate cross
roads newspaper. What Garfield and
his Observation-Disclosures are hungering
for is defense of the Confederate side
of the war on the floor of the House
and if there shall be no fool ready thus
to appease the demagogue, Garfield
would have gone wooling and come
home sheared. There never was bet
ter opportunity than now for little
sense and patriotism to win q mos,
signal victory in Congress.

GARFIELDS REVOLUTION.


Rev. Gen. De Golyer Garfield, OF
Ohio, the radical nominee for Speaker,
is now the confessed leader OF his party
in the House, and was selected 10 pro-
claim the Democats Revolutionists.
The Philadelphia Times, in aluding to
some of his Congressional, tricks says
"ln 1867 the Republicans Of Con-
gress, with President Hayes and Gen.
eral Garfield as members and acting
with the majority, forced into the army
appropriation bill part of the very leg
islation the Democrats now propose
thus to repeal. They refused to con-
slider II as separate measure, and they
held the bill until the last day of the
session 10 coeroe President johnson to
sign the bill. Was it revolutionary
then on the part of Hayes and Gar
field?
Tn 1872, the Supervisor and Deputy
Marshal section was forced into the
civil appropriation bill under the lead
of General Garfield, and the arbitrary
powers conferred upon Federal officials
TO interfere with elections was thus
forced upon the then Democratic mi
nority by General Garfeld's party lash.
The Democrats then denounced it as
revolutionary to force revolutionary
Legislation in such manner, but Gener.
al Garfield pressed it to success.
"lf General Garfield deemed 1t not
revolutionary to pass violent and revo-
lutionary legislation in that way in
1867 and in 1879, can he respect him
self or hope to be respected by others,
for declaring it revolutionary to repeal
revolutionary legislation in like man.
ner ?
"lf President Hayes, as Republican
member of Congress, regarded il as
proper to inject political sections into
appropriation bills in 1867, and to hold
the bills until the last days of the ses.
sion to force the Executive approval,
will he veto an appropriation bill be-
cause the Democrats have now foolish.

THE MARSHAL FRA UDS.

The editor OF the Butler Herald
says "The Wallace committee now
taking testimony in relation to frauds
in the late election in Philadelphia,
are bringing to light the handiwork Of
Republican politicians in this city,
Marshal Kerns testifies that he ap.
pointed 773 deputies, and these were
placed in all the voting precincts in the
city. Let it be asked, for whatY Under

it was known that every one of the
deputies was an unsorupulous Repub.

cans, and we all know the class from
which these came. What a shameless
cry therefore is it for Republicans to
say, that Democrats want to repeal
the law in relation TO the employment
of Deputy Marshals in order to prevent
a fair electlonl The truth 10 the Re-
publicans do not want the law repealed
because they know that IT will take
from them ono Of the most powerful
and effective means they have Of car
rying elections against the voice of the
people. They enacted the law for the
purpose Of fraud, and their great solici.
tude for its retention on the statute

boxes and ialsify the returns
Morei II this odious law Is repealed,

their ticketdealers the $40 apiece out

heretofore drawn out of the United
States Treasury. The s7,730 election

Let the Democrats consent to pay this
election fund out Of the Treasury for
the benefit Of the Radicals as hereto

acted, and would like TO blame some

Look Our FOR THE ROBBERS. Last
year a prominent Philadelphia lawyer
had an Act passed, by which the State
Treasury wasrobbed of $4,000 accord
ing to law. Senate bill No. 27O, now
on file in that body, is child begotten
by the same father, and II passed by
the Legislature, the same pool will
steal 100000 OF the peoples taxes, and
an act must eventually be passed to
make up this theft, because the Treas
ury is bankrupt at
