Our WASHINGTON Letter

WASHINGTON, ID. c., October 2sth 1879.
In New I ork, Judging by late facts and figures,
the excitement Of the Tammany bolt is begin
ming to calm down, and Democrats who under
the influence of that excitement declared them
selves against the Democratic party are return
ing to the ranks in large numbers seeing that
the only effect of opposing the regular Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor will be to elect n
Republican to that Office. Those Democrats
here from New York who are best informed are
now confident of the reelection of Gov Robin
son. If this expectation is realized the election
OF a Democratic President next year will be as
sured.
Now give us thorough investigation into the
causes OF the late Indian outbreak If it was
the iault OF Indian agents, army officers, or set
tiers, let us know. Congressional inyestiga-
ton is necessary.
Governors Of the various States can make no
mistake in calling attention of their Legislatures
to the contemplated celebration of the York.
town capture. To be sure nearly two years will
pass before the celebration will be had, but time
is required when States are to act Every Lep
islature which meets during the coming winter
should at least provide that Il Committee be ap-
pointed to make the necessary arrangements fe55r

A vote for party candidates is vote for
the principles held by that party. The Dem
ocratic party has always protected the rights
of labor. It has always been on the side of
the farmer against oppressive and burdensome
tariff laws, which compel the farmer to pay
more than his just share of maintaining the
the government. The Republican party has
fostered monopolies ofall kinds to greedy cor
porations, and by its ruinous course imposed
upon the landed interest an unequal share of
the burden of taxation. Parties represent
principles, and every man who is in favor of
just and equal taxation, of concord and unity
among all sections of our country, of the
rights of the people of all classes, under the
Constitution, should come out next Tuesday
and vote the entire Democratic ticket.

in these words:
Second. 1t will be the duty of the next General
Assembly to tighten the burden of taxation in this
state by aboshing all offices not necessary for the
public Service by reducing all salaries and fees
subject to its control, to the limit of the compen-

in private life; by compelling the practice of econ

the constitutional rule that every person in the

support of the government according to his actual
worth in real or personal property.

benefit of individuals, for the purpose of re-

their use to any other purpose is injurious to good

State Taxes.

In speech at Annapolis, recently, Hon.
Thomas j. Heating showed that out of thir-
ty-eight States in this Union there are thirty
four States where the rate of taxation is
higher than Maryland OF the State tax of
1871 cents 10 cents were for public schools, 81
for bounties imposed by Republicans, which
have cost the State eight millions. This
leaves 81 cents-4 of cent for the Deaf and
Dumb Asylum, cent for the Insane Asylum,
the remaining II cents to pay the interest on
the State relief loan. Under Republican rule
the State tax was thirty cents on the $1O0
and not as large an amount was appropriated
to school purposes as now.

HA1LE-FOARD.

Notwithstanding the inclcmcnt weather, ON
Wednesday evening, Oct. 22d, there was brill
liant wedding at Fork Church, the contracting
parties being Mr.. George Halle, eldest son Of
Charles s. Halle, Esq, of Long Green, and Miss
Emma Foard, daughter Of the late Sylvester
Foard, of this vicinity. The hour for the cere-
mony was o'clock, but long before that time
the church was filled with gay assemblagc of
the friends of the parties. The rendition of the
wedding march, by Miss Belle Kelly, of Balti-
more, announced the arrival of the party, when
hush oerspread the church, and all eyes were
directed towards the door. First came the ush-
ers, DIR, Chas. A. Baldwin and Mr. Samuel NJ,
Rankin, Jr., followed by the attendants, Mr.. Al
bert Foard and Miss Laura Halle, and lastly the
bride and groom, the cynosure ofall eyes. They
were met at the altar by the officiating clergy
men, Rev. George W. Feelemcyer, pastor of Fork
M. f. church, and the Rev. Mr.. Rathbun, pas
tor OF the Chestnut Grove Presbyterian church, at
Sweet Air, who after a long and impressive cere-
mony pronounced them husband and wife The
benediction being pronounced the exit began
hefriends Immediately followed to the residence
of the bride, a short distance from the church,
where was to be seen Il very large and brilliant
assembly, indeed. There were friends from the
city, Hartford and neighborhood, who paid their
respects with many congratulations and wishes
for happiness and prosperity in the future. The
groom, as well he might, seemed to appreciate
his good fortune in having drawn such a valuable
prize in the matrimonial lottery, and the bride
attested by her radiant smiles her supreme hap
piness. The guests partook ola sumptuous sup.
per of all the good things of the season. to which
ample justice was done. Afterwards all again
sought the parlors where the time was pleasant
ly spent with music, readings, conversation and
examining the grand display of large and beauti-
full presents, comprising many handsome silver
pieces. Again all partook Entertainments, which
were beautifully arranged and in great profuson,
the table being handsomely decorated with flow
ers. All at last bade good night, and with piece
of the brides cake in their pockets, were home
ward bound, wishing as they departed to the
bride and groom, aaf gl"ck.

The present canvass is but the preliminary

Republican success means continued inter
