Under the title UNPLEASANT Fea.
tures," the Bulletin Of Sept. 18th
says:
The news from Maine is now
mixed UP with EXAMINATIONS and
re-Crimiqati0ns on the subject Of
buying votes. Now and then there
comes along the announcement
that It is all right for this party or
that, provided the returns are not
doctored in tho outlying districts.
When The system OF buying votes
and falsifying returns becomes gen.
eral, the verdict Of the civilized
world will be that we have lost the
art of governing ourselves. Oper-
ations Of this nature do not die out
Of themselves. They 60 on increas-
Ing from year to year. II voters
are bought one year there will be q
rise In the market the next time
sufftsges are solicited. The transi.
tion from stealing q precinct to
stealing . State may be very rapid:
II We ever reach that point, and
consent to tolerate IL, the Republic
will have long before expired.
No one probably understands
more thoroughly than the editor OF
the Bulletin that the Republican
party, In 1879, stole not only votes
but States, and that the most Ia.
mentable feature Of the whole
thing is that . tribunal organized
from both houses Of Congress and
from the Supreme Court Of the
United States acted as "fence" to
the novel stolen goods. Hayes
needed the nineteen electoral votes
Of South Carolina, Louisiana and
Florida-and every one Of them-
to count up the 1s5 necessary to
make, In his case, q fraudulent
President. Mr.. Tilden needed but
one of these nineteen votes to make
. President at once de facto and de
jure, consecrated, too, by popular
majority Of nearly two hundred
and sixty thousand of the
electors of the United States.
Doubtless the eight Republicans
on the Presidential Commission
would have given anything on
earth II they had had thirty or for
ty electoral votes to dispose Of, so
that they could have made show
Of fairness by deciding some points
10 Tilden's favor. But, TO their ex-
treme regret, they were obliged to
play the hog and the shyster in the
face of the world and of posterity,
and they executed their allotted
task In. the systematized infamy
with celerity which entities
them, a. judges, to rank with the
notorious Jefffies. That memora.
BILE criminal prostituted the srmine
to obey the behests Of James H., .
King claiming to reign by right
divine. The Republican judges Of
the Electoral Com mmIssion, on the
other hand, received their COM
mands from such men a. ZacharIah
Chandler-ofiicials who, In theory
and in the practice of the early
days Of the Republic, we're the
servants Of the people. What
wonder that reports come to US Of
frauds in Maine when the whole
administration of the country IL
reeking with fraud, and every
member Of fraudulent adminis-
tration Is on the stump preaching
up pretence and hypocrisy as Jus
tics and patriotism? In truth, the
times are out Of joint and we have
fallen upon evil days.

The Bulletin is. achieving q fine
success In talking nonsense In the
interest of the Republican party, of
late. 1t has caught up the trash
Of = fall In United States four per
cents In consequence Of the Demo.
cratic victory in Maine. In the
nrst place, 1t knows very we'll that
there are enough of the kid.glove,
Rspublic.hating snobs and par
venus who manipulate stock ex-
changes, to cause a quotation or
two to be made under ruling rates,
for effect. They would cheerfully y
spend few dollars to bring such
. result about, although it would
last but for q moment. The other
day We were informed by Republi.
can newspapers and orators that
the Rothschilds had sent directions
to their New York agent, Mr.. Au.
gust Belmont, that he must either
resfgnt their agency or oppose Han
cock. or course, this was one Of
the silly Republican campaign
lies, just as forcing a quotation or
two point below ruling figures In
United States bonds was a silly Re.
publican campaign device. On
Friday, the 10Th inst. there was in
New York city tremendous rally
Of Germans who intend to support
Hancock and English In and out
side Of Cooper Union. No such
meeting Of Germans was ever got
ten together In the United
States. 1t was presided over by Mr..
August Belmont, and we quote
from New York paper what pret.
y fully shows Mr.. Belmonps atti.
tude:
Mr.. Belmont was received with
enthusiasm, and thanked the meet.
Ing for the reception extended to
him. 1t was thirty-seven years,
he said, since he had become an
American citizen, and In that time
ho had not cast q vote outside Of

The Railroad Depot Question
Has been the engrossing one in oul
midst this week. The Railroad Com
pany having selected grounds within
the specifications Of their charter,
furnished our corporate authorities
with statement and map Of the same.
They were found to belong to various
parties, and it has been found that
some 81 900 will be required to pay for
tho same. The two-fold duty has
therefore deyolved upon our people to
settle with each Of the parties interest
cd in said property, and then to raise
the required amount. At meeting Of
the citizens at the Court House on
Wednesday night two committees were
appointed having 10 view these objects,
who have since been successfully prose.
outing the work assigned thsm.-We
should have stated, however. that most
Of the work had been done previously
by committees appointed by the town
Counoil.-Upon the whole the enter.
prise has turned out to. be more extern
sive and complicated than was antici-
pated. We suppose there is no doubt
that the necessary money will be Sc
cured; but it is important that no one
should suffer hardshipa to do so. This
is quite unnecessary, if all interested
will pay according to their means, and
we are unable to see how any just or
honorable man can get his own consen.
that his neighbors should pay his part
for him. It is vital matter to San
Marcos, involving, it might be, in case
of failure, her very existence, but
promising. if successful, a new era in
her growth and prosperity. The PEG.
pie of all this part of the county, and
Of adjacent portions of other counties
doing business here. are almost equally
interested, and should, and we believe
will, when called on and the situation
explained to them. lend their aid in
the matter. Let all, both of the town
and vicinity, who have as yet sub
scribed nothing. make haste to con-
tribute, so that the question may at
once and forever be settled in the right
way.
