On the 9TH of October Rev. DR.. Fulton
addressed mass meeting in the Temple
Of Brooklyn on the solid South. We
make an extract We ought TO say 20
the men Of the South. This il il your
last chance. II you continue to misrule
we win wipe out the States Of the South.
We win put you under territorial gov
eminent and wherever the flag of this
Union waves, it shall wave for freedom
and equal Justice"
This Reverend politician, says the 81.
Johns Weekly, on the same order - Flor
ida's vilider and base slanderer, w. w.
Hicke, is q man high in the ranks of his
church, and the fact that Marshall Jew
ell, chairman of the Republican National
Committee, occupied seat on the plat
form, attests the support given to his
utterances by the Republican party
What Southern man can read such Ian
gusge and then support by his vote such
menu And yet every vote cast for them
is o virtual endorsement of their insult
ing, selfassuming superiority. Men who
love their country and their country's
good, cannot vote for the continual su-
premacy of the party that would grind
down the South in servitude worse than
the days of reconstruction brought
Every vote for Republican either in ma
tional, State or county politics, will help
to keep in power such men-men who
think that there is no law no order, no
intelligence in the South, but that all
these good things are to be found far
from us.

Give Indiana to Garfield, says the
Macon Telegram, and even then the
chances of Hancock for the Presidency
are the better of the two. With the 1873
votes of the solid South, supplemented
by New York IS, New Jersey 9, Con-
necticut 8, and we have the needed 1855
electoral votes and three to spare, with
good chances in Greg (s), Nevada 90

The cry of fraud which the Re-
publicans are now raising is only blind
to cover frauds which they themselves
contemplate. Florida is a Democratic
State and can only be carried by the
Radicals by resorting to the same tactics
which enabled them to succeed in past
elections. This they know. They origi-
mated " tissue ballots or "little .jokers "
here, and If not watched will repeat the
trick. We caution Democratic inspectors
to keep their eyes open. They must not
only guard against ballot-box stuffing, but
against epeosers. This is favorite mode
of Republican cheating; and it would not
surprise ~ If prQtsssional repsaters from
abroad are imported for service in jack
sonvills and other points East. In fact,
we have reason to believe that large
force Of thess rufians and shoulder-hitters
are now On their way TO Florida from
New York and will arrive 10 few days.
II orr information 10 reliable as to this,
1t is TO be hoped, that the imported bullies
will hef msde I'd regret the day they put

The city election in Key West on the
9th resulted in handsome Democratic
victory. The Democrat of the 18th SAYS
"the Republicans, under the name of
peoples ticket and headed by the most
influential and most popular Republican
in the city, flor Mayor,) used every exer-
ton to defeat the Democracy, but the re-
suit shows that the city of Key West and
the county of Monroe are fully alive to
the great issues at stake. For the four
elections prior to this there was no party
ticket, and we expected the same this
year; but from some cause the line was
drawn, and we may congratulate ourselves
that it was done, for the victory on Mon
day can not fail to have its bearing upon
the November election"
DR.. r. ]. Perry, the Democratic candi-
date for Mayor, received l7s majority,
and this betokens, the Democrat says, 400
majority in the county in November DR..
Perry is one Of the Democratic candidates
for the Assembly in Monroe-Dr, J. w.
V. Plummer is the other candidate. The
county will do its full duty next month.

GOVERN0Rs ISLAND, N. T., OCT. IL.
"My Dear Governor IL have received your
favor OF the 11th inst. In my letter of accep-
lance, expressed my full sympathy with our
American Industries l thought spoke plainly
enough TO satisfy our Jersey friends regarding my
tariff views l am too sound an American to
advocate any departure from the general features
of the policy that has been largely instrumental
in building up our industries and keeping Amer
leans from competition of the undergrad labor of
Europe. If we intend 10 remain honest and pay
the public debt, as the good people of all parties
do, and if we mean to administer the functions
of The Cover nmcEt, then we must raise revenue
in some way or other. With q reunited and
harmonious country, We shall certainly, in time,
pay off the public debt, but the necessity of rails
ing money for the administration of the govern
ment will continue as long as human nature
lasts. All parties agree that the best way for US
to raise revenue is largely by tariff. So far as
we are concerned, therefore, all the talk about
free trade is folly, but the tariff question will
probably be treated with justice to all our inter-
ests and people by some such bill as Eaton's.
believe that Q commission Of intelligent experts,
representing both the government and American
industries will suggest tariff measures that will
relieve us of any crudi,ies and inconsistencies
existing in our presept lsvs, and confirm to US a
system which WI. De judicious, just harmonious
and intellectually protective as well as stable in
its eject. l am, very truly yours,
