THE TRIBUNE feels authorized TO announce ,n"'
Wade Hampton will revise his next speech oeioi'
he delivers 10. rather than aftcrward.
That beloved Southerner, Robert Toomps, re-
marks: " If elected, the old boys OF the South WIZ
see that Hancock does the fair thing by them. In
other words he will run the machine to suit them,
or they will run the thing thelnselyes." inat -
the way it looks to the casual Republican oDSer'el
The Democrats entirely misunderstood the ma
tnre Of the Republican revelations OF the character
of William II. Eng ish. The revelations are MADE
simnlv IN the interest of truth and fair dealing.
Mr.. English was nominated simply because
he was a rich man. That being tho case,
the Republicans show that he has accumu-
lated bis wealth largely by lending money
m handsome rates of interest. very often TO
peopIe of the aboring class &, and has uniiInch-
ngiy sold them ont &c sheriff. sale whenever they
failed to pay M promptly. Accommodating wealth
IN this manner has always been Indignantly ne
uOuncPd bV the Democratic party. hDo lHt ouhol'lo
have been requested TO look to that party for re-
venge and protection. The nomination OF Mr. Eng
lIsh, under these circumstances, seems so NEON
sistent that it is PLAIN Republican duty TO sho"
uD the performance.
The Democrats have last entered upon the task
of defending English Tho job will last during the
Whole campaign.
The vigorous canvass which the Republicans or
Oswego County, in this State. have been MAKING
has borne frut alrea1y. That county was formerly
one of the stronghods of the Greenback party. but
there are evidences that it will be so no longer
John w. Shea member of the Greenback State Com
mtee for that county, has Resigned hls position, III
striking letter, III which he gives at some length
his reasons for casting his vote future for the he
publican party He says prosperity and the logic OF
events have done away with the causes which
brought the Greenback party into existence, and
the issue is between the tSo great political parties
As an independent voter Mr. Shea thinks the surest
way 10 continue the present era OF prosperity VIII
he to vote to continue the Administration OF fIeS,-
dent Hayes that is, 20 vote Tor GaIueih' ne uh9s
mo Democrat who can give a reason why lnnepeho-
ont voters should support Hancock save that MS
election would bring change. lie THINKS IL not M
all desirable 20 exchange the certainty OF prosperity
under Republican ascendancy for the uncertainty
and confusion which n Democratic victory might
bring upon US. Mr.. Shea VIII lind plenty OF otIer
voters who take that view.
If the Northern Democrats could suppress all the
Southern newspapers and gag all the Southern
statesmen Hancock would have chahce OI success
Has ANYBODY discovered a single Northern Demo-
cratic editor who has anything but excuses for
Wade Hampton and his Lee and Jackson principles
As IN 1860. so in 1880 the Northern Democrat is
the defender and ally of his Southern brother.
