THE NATIONAL CHARACTER OF TO.DAY's
ETECT10N


ELECTION.
Con. GARFIELD Lit the nail squaroly on
tho head when he said In hia great spoecl, on
tho Army bill: "You said in 1861 TINT
'The doctrine Of secession must be accepted,
or we will shoot down the Government
That WAS IN open, manly declaration. You
soy in 1870: you must accept Democratic
dtctation, OF we will starve out the Govern.
ment.' Tint is base, mean, cowardly."
This spoeol, was delivered squarely in tho
face Of the Confederate DrigadieEs aud their
Northern Copporhoad allies. Indirectly, it
was speech mado to the country, exposing
the Democratic hostility to tho Government
and tho revolutionary tendency Of TINT party,
and it ought to have tho widcst circulation.
1t will not take many more such slsago-
hammer blows lilse those Of GARF1ELp md

LOoK. OUT FOR REPEATERs.

Tho practice Of repeating" ut elections
ia an old device Of tho Democrats in the
1argo citios. It originated in the ntrrgglos to
control the caucusos for olecting delegates to
nominating conventions, and subsequently,
having been cultivated, Inns bcon adopted
for elections Of officers. It costs solno
money, hut after all ia found to secure moro
votes for loss money per vote than any other
illegal process. A Democratic politician OF
tlis city. now decaased, some years ago ex-
planned tho process by which repeating II
Ind been practioed in this city ut several
elections, and explained tho advantages It
possessed over my other process.
The shifting Of bal1ot-boxcs WINS nevcr
considered advisable except under the most
desperate circumstances. It required tho
corruption Of tho threo Inspectors and the
two Clerks for each precinct, and Of perhaps
several othcrs. This was ofton impossible,
and besides 1t admitted too many persons to
knowledge Of tho proceeding. Repeating,
however, was much simpler, cost less money,
accomplished better results nnd was less ill.,
ble to detection. The plan was to raiso first
d sum Of money proportional to the dishon-
ost vote needed. Wien the money WINS de-
posted in the hands Of u responsible porson,
the chief was notified Tint It was essential to
shave tho full vote Of the party pollod, and
houco special exortion WINS to bo made to got
tho votors gut. For this purpose several
companies Of picked mon in onoh division Of
tho city were enrolled, and each undor
the control Of Captain. Thus, four oompa-
uies of twenty mon each in tho South Diyis-
ion, Six companies Of twenty each in the
West Division, aud two companies Of twonty
each in tho North Division, making in MI
24O man. To each Of these persons would
DO assigned na1no by which he would bc
registered by the organizer in at least ton
precincts; tho several gaugB wore assigned
to special wards and precincts, and before
O'Clock in tho day the 3,t00 votes would be
generally pol!ed. Every thing was dono
orderly, each Captain said that his men kept
sober, and performed tho work set apart for
him to do. Tho cost Of this operation was
estimated nt $1.60 per vote, thus:

BERLIN, Sept. 25-The Provincial Core
spondence publishes an appeal to Prussian
electors In behalf OF Prince Bismarck, urging
them to trust him once more in the approach
ing elections to the Landtag. 1t directs the
attention OF Catholics to the fact that the
Chancellor has been actively negotiating
with the distinguished Papal envoy at Gas
tien, while 1t assures the Liberals. from Off
cial sources, that the supreme power of State,
Ia State affairs, will be In no wise sacrificed.
1t offers to the military and upper classes the
spectacle of bold and open consolidation OF
an Austrian alliance, and to all 1t promises a
reduction OF direct taxation. The article states
1t will be the duty OF the next Land.ag to
complete the purchase of private railways by
the State and to effect their thorough or
ganization, SO that the whole country may
enjoy them in uniformity, convenience and
cheapness. The article concludes: Let the
electors take care that the next Landtag con-
sst OF an overwhelming body OF members,
who, on the ground OF common economical
endeavors, have full sympathy with Bismarck
and the government. SO as to secure the CON
sequences to Prussian taxation of German

issue manifesto In such vague terms as to
be acceptable to Republicans. InternationaI-
lists and Communists alike. The Gaul0is ex-
presses regret that the French government
shuts Its eyes to facts tantamount to con-
sptracy against a friendly sovereign, and
says that by doing 80 the government will
soon or late expose itself to remonstrances
which 1t should carefully avoid.
Commenting upon the above, the Paris cor
OF the London Ncans says: II this
communication emanates, as it Is reported,

tion that In King Alfonso's opinion the Aus

DEADwooD, Dakota Sept. pa fire broke
out In the Star Bakery, In Sherman street,
and following that thoroughfare swept every
thing before it on Lee, Main, Gold, Wall, Pat
ton and William streets, and several resi-
dences on Central Avenue. Famed by light
breeze and nothing to contend with except
very inefficient fire department, every thing
was at the mercy OF the flames. Less than q
score Of pronounced fire-proof warehouses
withstood the severe test. The buildings
being mostly Of wood and poorly constructed,
burned like SO much chaff All along itA
course terrific explosions Of gunpowder, Pc
troleum, liquor, etc. were of frequent occur
renee. Buildings were blown into atoms
Hook and ladder apparatus and hoee car
riages were the first things to burn, leaving
nothing but q few feet of worthless hose with
which to battle against the devouring eie-
ments. On account OF the scarcity of water
the hillsides were almost solid sheet U
flames.
The widest excitement prevailed on ae-
count Of the fearful force OF the flames, and
the people thought of but little besides saving
their own lives; hundreds escaping with only
their night clothes. About 1000 people are
homeless and many destitute. About f2s
store buildings, besides SO or 60 dwelling
houses. were destroyed. The loss is esd-
mated from 81, 100000 to S2,0o0,000
