TWO notion FACTS.

- ~ -ssst'ou winch Is setting In
throughout the country in favor of ths
Democratic party is chiefly attributable
to two causes.
The reverse in Indiana brought the
public mind to seriously consider the
prospect OF the election OF a Republi-
can President. Before the reverse in
Indiana the nation had settled down to
the conviction that Gen. HANCOCK would
be the next President, and it was con-
tent.
But whenever this country has been
compelled to fairly face the question OF
continuing the Republican party in
power, il has awakened an intense feel
ing of opposition among all classes OF
the people.
1t is not political buncombc, it is rot
clap-trap, to say that the intelligent,
discerning masses OF the people fear the
Republican party. They fear its GEN.
tralizing tendencies; its avowcd policy
and aim to strip the people Of their
power, and make government
"strong" eIfough to ignore the popular
voice.
The people know that the continu-
ance OF the Republican party in power
for another term, would he to continue
it for An indefinite period, perhaps for
all time. The election OF GARFIELD to
the Presidency would he construed as
an endorsement by the people OF the
strong government" theories OF the
Republican party. The next President
would he GRANT, and with GRANT, the
days OF the democratic republic would
be numbered. This is one influence,
and very patent one, now moving up
on the public mind.
The second reason is that the people
of this country are not ready and will
not consent to exalt man to the first
position in their government, with
record so blurred, blotted and be-
smirched as that Of Gen. GARFIELD;
they do not intend that the Office shall
be thus degraded; they do not intend
that either the claims OF party or other
political influence shall drive them to
setting up a precedent such as
that of choosing man
of a debauched public ca.
reer, in preference to man whose
public and private life are absolutely
stainless. They do not intend thus to
place a premium upon corruption; to
discourage virtue by approving vice;
and thus to demoralize the rising gener-
alton, and crush out all hope from the
life Of young men who have an honora-
BILE ambition and at the same time a
manhood and conscious
integrity.
These are the two chief thoughts now
working their way to the inner con-
sciousness Of the people. They have
turned the tide sgainst Republican
success more strongly than before the
Octobep elections.

THERE is grea: deal OF silly talk about

THERE is a grea; deal OF silly talk about
the moral effect OF the Republican vic
tory in Indiana upon the floating vote
that always runs to the party that has
the best promise OF success. There are
beyond doubt many thousands OF
votes which the Democrats would have
gained if they had carried Indiana that
they will not get now. That much may
be freely conceded, but any intelligent
student Of politics will see in a moment
tina, no Democrat will be driven out OF
the party by the fact that it was beaten
in Indiana. The repuise in that State
will keep thousands of Republicans
within the party ioli who were on the
eve OF desertion before the Indiana elec.
ton, but it will bring them no converts
from Democracy.

COMMENTING upon the character OF
the contest that will be wagcd between
the two parties until the November
election, the Philadelphia Times says;
at will me more than mere party
battle. Ii will be struggle FOR SOL
der, patriot and statesman Tor whom
any citizen o; any party may vote WITH
out apology to his conscience or to his
country. 1t will bring business men
and business interests face TO face; ana
the party leaders who command The
Free Trade League and its organs IN
New York; who convulse the manuIact'
urers of New Jersey and Pennsylvania
by appeals tor Protection; who summon
partisan madness to degrade labor 10
the bidding of masters, and who plead
as earnestly for Free Trade III Illinois
as they DO for Protection in manuiuctur'
ing regions, will he called to answer be-
fore the capital and labor they would
defraud."

WILSON AND HUTCHINSON

For an utter disregard Of the truth
and q malicious effort to injure an adj
versary john A. HUTCHINSON has made
himself conspicuous.
Here is an example:
He knows that anything favoring the
rscoinass Of silver its remonitization' Is
popular with the people OF West Vir-
ginis, and now that he aspires to seat
in Congress he seeks to stab Colonel
WILSON for having lodged role on
BLASp's Silur Bill rhich authorized the
free coinage of sitter, and which was voted
upon in Congress on the 5th day Of NO
vember, 1877.
II Mr.. HUTCHINSON had been fair
and honorable man he would have stat
cd the whole truth in this matter and
not sought corruptly and clandestinely
to injure Col. WILSON. :,
Here are the facts. On the seconu
day of November, 1877, and three days
before the BLAND bill was voted upon,
the Speaker of the House in pursuance
of a resolution UNANIMOUSLY adopted oy
the House, appointed committee oil
seven members of Congress to represent
the House at the funeral obsequies oil
the late distinguished OLIVER 2. MoRroN,
a former Republican United States Sem
stor from Indiana, and that Col. WILSON
MAS appointed as one OF the committee,
and that on the very day the BLAND bill
was voted upon he was in Indianapolis
to discharge the sad duty which had
been imposed upon him. For passage
of Resolution and appointment oil Com
mittee see Congressional Record, Vol. q
and APPENDIX, Especial session senate)
and 18th Congress, lstsession, 1917, page
OBJ. And then if Mr.. IICTcHISsoN had
further been disposed to he truthful and
honorable, instead OF saving that Col.
WILSON lodged this vote he
would have said that in addi-
ton to being absent without his request
that he was paired with Mr.. LoEING, =
distinguished Republican member oil
Congress from Massachusetts,. In an.
nouncing the pair, Mr.. LoRlSG stated
that Mr.. WILSON, il present, would vote
for the BLAND bill, and he would vote
against it. See same book, page 2l2.
We give these "a samples of JonN y.
UrrcuIysoS's efforts to mislead and
deceive the people.
But TO show the animus OF Mr..
HUTCHINSON one other thing should he
stated, and that is that Gen. GARFIELD
did no, rots for or against this BLAND bill.
He too was absent by leave OF
the House. Now why should HUTcH-
rysox raise the point that Col. WILSON
did not vote and conceal the tact that
Gen. GARFIELD also did not vote? Why
has not Mr.. HUTCHINSON had the manli-
ness to state in some OF his ut:erances
that Col. WILSON and one hundred and
ninety-five 1851 other members voted
to pass the bill remonetizing silver over
Presidents HAYES veto, and that Gen.
GARFIELD and seven,y-two az other
gentlemen voted against it-yoted TO
sustain the veto-voted against making
silver money again? See Congressional
Record, volume Z, part ., Forty-tifth Con-
yress. od session, pages ,4l9 and l, i20.

Jrsr at the moment OF a political re-

casion for the New York Herald to ex'
hibit contemplate lack OF principle.
1t was boostisg the Democrats before

publicans with equal ardor; and now
that the Democratic tide is turning, 1t
has made the first fiirt toward new

and Republican candidates, all in one

HELP ME CAssIUs. OR 1 SINKr'
The vampires OF the Republican party
are making another indiscriminate APP
peal for funds. Another one per cent.
assessment is levied upon the salaries
OF the poor clerks. The corruption
fund that was poured into Indiana has,
TO doubt, badly depleted the resources
Of the several committees and left them
in bad condition TO meet the exigen-
cies Of the present situation. The indis-
criminate demand which is being made
for help indicates that they are leaving
no stone unturned in their search for
peli. A gentleman of this city, who is
not disposed to respond to this charac-
ter OF appeal, hands US the following
copy of the new demand, received by
him through the mail:
HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN, CoN-)
GREssIOSAL COMMITTEE,
WASHINGTON, ID. g., Oct. IA, 1880
srR-The splendid achievements of
the 18th OF October show what Repub-
licans can DO when their blood is up.
This Committe has yet much to do to
meet the energy OF Democratic despera-
ton and make our coming victory COM
plete.
To make assurance doubly sure, its
hands should be strengthened.
1t, therefore, appeals to YOU to prompt
ly contribute TO its funds an additional
one per cent. OF your salary.
1t makes this appeal to your patriot
ism-to the patriotism of Republican
who desires not alone the election of
Garfield, but also that OF a working ma
jority in both Houses OF Congress-in
the full expectation of q hearty re-
Spouse.
You have hitherto sustained il nobly,
and assurances crowd upon it that you
are not weary Of well doing.

il that paper will first tell US how it was
that GoFF's majority over TILDEN in
Monongalia county. in 1876, was 526
votes, while SruRGIss' majority over

thousand over that OF 1876.

THE FIRST DIsTRICT.

The returns from the counties com
prising the First Congressional District
are vet incomplete, but are sufficient TO
give a fair assurance OF Col. WILSON'S
election by a majority equal, If not IN
excess OF that received by him in 1878
In that year Col. Wilson's majority
over HUBBARD was 3,409. The partial
returns from the district already give q
Democratic margin OF over $500 votes,
which will be increased, rather than
diminished, by the official and complete
returns.
We do not see that Mr.. HUTCHINSON
has developed any ability or personal
popularity in his canvass thus Tar, 10
Justify the belief that he will increase
the vote given to Mr.. HUBBARD in 1875
il he can reach it. The change in ONO
county alone in the October election AZ
compared with HupDARD's vote in 1873,
amounts to 7G7 votes against HrrcnINsoS
provided the result is the same in No
yember. This will probably more than
Offset any loss or detection if there
should be- any in the District On WILL
SONS vote this year.
In 1878, the Greenback vote cast Tor
Mr.. BAssELL, the present candidate, was
4,Os7. 1t is safe to say that it will not
be half that amount this year. But
neither party will gain or lose much by
the return of this vote to the OLD parties
as il will probably, be very equally DIS
tributed. We anticipate that the vote
in November will be largely in excess OF
the vote on the State ticket, and as the
Democratic party has demonstrated us
ability to carry the. district and the
State, it will, no doubt, gather up all the
floating vote in the November contest
to swell its majority. The First district
can, therefore, be very safely counted
on to hold its own, at least, in the
November election.

without abatement from the ruined
tenants. In cases of non-payment the
tenants are turned out of their poor cab
ins, and left homeless as we'll as penni-
less upon the world.
Happily, we in free America have no
adequate conception of the dismay and
utter ruin which an eviction for nom
payment of rent brings to the tenant and
his helpless family. Mothers and chill
dren turned out of doors have persisted
by the wayside while the father has been
vainly looking for shelter, and none but
that of the grave has been found. Such
occurrences, by no means infrequent,
have created the bitterest feeling, not
only in Ireland, but in England. and the
effect will surely hasten the time when
the inevitable destruction of hereditary
and aristocratic form of government will
be accomplished. Every popular reform
has been fought out by the people in the
teeth of violent opposition by the House
of Lords, and the revolutionary question
"Of what good are the Lords. anyhow"
has been heard in England before now !;
while now it has given place to threats
of the destruction of the hereditary form
of government which is antagonlstic to
popular reforms and popular interests.

THE ABOUNDING WEST.

Kansas is begging Justify for help to
feed thousands of its starving inhabl-
tants, not a few of whom emigrated from
Vermont to that once bleeding" but
now better known as "drouthy" state.
We trust there will be a prompt and
generous reply to this appeal. and also
that our uneasy people will think two
or three times before any more of them
commit their destiny to the "Great
American Desert" That name was not
given for nothing. whatever may be- said
about changes of climate" 1t is re-
ported that the railroad companies of
that section have been endeavoring to
keep back the facts in regard to the
condition of settlers, to prevent the nat
ural effect of the truth upon their land
sales. But the distress is now too great
for concealment. Whole countries are
in state of alarming restitution, and
with all the Astounding charity of the
nation, there cannot but be a vast
amount of suffering and even death in
consequence of an insuficiency of food
and other necessary comforts.

the farming people of the central prairie
states, but what are we to think of their

AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS
IN IRELAND.

The results of the recent distress
among the tenant farmers in Ireland
promise, or threaten, to reach much
further than could have been expected.
The result may be a radical change in
the method of government in England
at an earlier date than could have been
thought possible before the late trouble
fell upon that land of troubles, Ireland.
A temporary relief from utter ruin
through the enforced claims of the land
owners for rents due by impoverished
and starved tenants, and from the dan
ger of legal eviction from their homes,
has miscarried by the rejection of a
measure for that purpose in the House
of Lords. The Lords are the chief land
owners, and they have sel6shly claimed
their rents, their "pound of flesh" as it
may really have been in many cases,
