The Tribune's Prediction,

Mr.. Jay Gould, the proprietor of
the New York Tribune, whilest at
Kingston and in conversation with q
Republican leader, nnhesitatingly
said he anticipated the success of the
Democratic Presidential ticket this
fall. Gen. Arthur was too great q
load for the Republican ticket to car
ry, and beside that, the Democrats
are thoroughly united ON Hancock
and English. There is no hope Of
carrying New York, and as New
York goes SO also will go New Jersey,
at least, and Connecticut, probably,
Dir. Gould gave it rs his opinion that
tile Republican machine politicians
had already practically abandoned
the Presidential fight and would mere
after direct their cffotts upon carrying
the various Legislatures for the pur-
pose of controlling the u. 5. Senate.
Coming from the source and repre-
senting the peculiar interest of which
MIR. Gould's is the type, this predic-
ton has more than common sicnifi-
cation and shows that the Influential
classes at the North expect Gen. Han
cocks election.

Fusion.

The result of the contest between
the Democratic and the Republican
parties in Maine over the Legislature
squabble last winter showed vcry
plainly that a Democratic success
was impossible and rot to be thought
OF without very material aid from
another source. With a view of
securing this aid the Democracy
entered into combination with the
Grecnbackcrs on the electoral ticket
which gives us three and them four
votes for the Presidency. 1t is
thought this combination will carry
the state by Il creditable majority and
i! so the Republicans will lose one
state OF whose vote they had not the
slightest doubt.

Which VIII They Do2

No one can help noticing the sly
movements of Radical leaders about
the Courthouse square every day, but
more particularly on public days, as
they glide softly from one group Of
colored men to another, conversing
with them earnestly, but in a low
tone Of voice, and maintaining per-
feet silence If Democrat should hap
pen to pass. These and other signs
indicate that skirmisling which al
ways proceeds battle, has already
commenced. II is their fixed purpose
TO run county ticket and try once
more to place our people under Radi-
cal rule and subject their property to
Radical plunterers. This is to be ac-
complished by co)ored votes, if at all.
Before our colored citizens decide to
unite thoir fortunes again with par
ty which has been curse rather than
blessing to their race, or to aid in
elevating to Office men who have al
ready deceived them, and many of
them convicted thieves, confirmed
liars and pronounced periurers, or to
turn their backs upon q party which
in four years has given an honest
government to the county and pros
perity to the people, we would ask
them to pause for while and think
what becomes their duty in this cmcr-
gcnc.v. The Radical party is dead
party, because it is Iisintcgratcd
and defeated party, while tic Demo
crntic party is successful party and
by virtue Of it's intelligence, numbers
and position means to control the
government of the country and the
destinies of its people. The colored
people are offered in good faith equal
privileges in the party with their
white friends in selecting candidates,
filing offices and controlling the gov
ernment. BY forming clubs and send
ing delegates to the County Conven-
tion they will be entitled 10 Offices in
proportion to the number Of delegates
sent and will thus be able to protect
and defend their rights inside the
party. Will they avail themselves of
this offer and unite with the white
people to secure an honest and eco
nomical government for country in
which both are Obliged TO live?
Upon their decision in this matter
hangs the destiny of the race. Let
them pause and think before they
move.

Gen. Hancock Accepts.

Gen. Hancock's letter of accept
ance is q masters production and ex.
presses not only the writer's views
upon the grea. issues of the day, but
the sentiment Of the great majority OF
the American people. Unlike Gen.
Garfield. he is independent in thought,
explicit in expression and statesman
like throughout the letter, md does
not mean to be the mere tool OF his
party bet its leadea. With the i'm
portant questions of the day he deals
boldly and sets forth his views upon
them with directncss and purpose
that reminds one more of the states
manship of the past than the pucrility
Of the present. The difference be-
tween tho General and State G oycrn-
mcnts and their limitations is exceed
ingly plain and TO the point, and will
doubtless furnish food for thousand
Republican editorials and speeches !;
but it is the theory Of our fathers
and the only one upon which a Re
publican government can stand. The
corruption in the civil service by
former administrations is passed un-
der review by Gen. Hancock, and he
declares that the basis of 1e(orm
must be established by the people.
Elective Offices must be filed by
honest and competent men before il
can be expected that appointees will
be free from corruption. Tie use Of
troops ut the polls is condemned in
no measured terms, while ''lull vote,
free ballot and fair count" is dcclar-
cd TO be the foundation OF the govern
ment. We have peace, not "lct US
have peace" seems TO be Lhe opinion
of Gen. Hancock, and il is encourage
ing To the entire country to know
that the next administration will be
conducted on peace and not u war
basis, and that then the people may
address themselves to promoting their
material prosperity. Gen. Hancock's
letter will have more the effect OF as.
suring and encouraging Democrats
LII; n of converting Republicans.

Radical Extravaqanoe.

List Saturday the Radicals from

old leaders met in Columbia to ratiry

Arthur. This meeting was planned
and designed by the national wire

II Was expected hat there would be
grand rallying of the faithful as in
the days of their glory, but when on
ly fifteen hundred, all told, assembled
in Sidney Park, without enthusiasm
or sign Of political life, the leaders
felt disappointed and spirit of care
less Indifference fell upon the entire
crowd. The following experts in
ways that are dark, were present and,
in rather shorter speeches than us
ual on such occasions, abused and
cursed the Democrats without giving
the slightest comfort to the miserable
dupcs around them: Sam Lee, of
Sumter, who declared that the Re.
publicans of his county "were neither
dead nor sleeping, but keeping quiet
and taking in the situation," that
God had taken the power from the
party to teach them a lesson they
would not lcarns but it would come
back in 1880, and That he would not
mention the plans Of the party for
fear some Of his hearers would tell
the Democrats; w. N. Taft, of
Charleston, who advised them TO
make All aggressive campaign, said
there were ten Democratic thieves to
one Republican, begged the negroes
not to be uneasy about labor. because
the Democrats were obliged to have
them, and that the moment the Re-
publican party was swept away, the
Democrats would take away the free
school appropriation; II. B. Elliot,
who announced that the Democrats
opposed Capitalization because "if
that principle should die tissue bal.
lots and terrorism would un free and
rule under the name of home govern
ment; Z. M. Bray!on, who, holding
a tissue ballot up, said il would wave
as banner in this campaign, that ii
would be more powerful than the
bloody shirt, and that the record OF
the Democratic party would bring q
blush Of shame to the cheek of any.
body except South Carolina Demo
crat j. Fl. Rainey, who thought the
Republican party in a better condi-
ton now than ever, and that the Re-
publicans Of the South submitted to
Democratic wrongs because the most
of them were Christians and w. F.
Meyers, who said the Democrats had
closed the doors of the school house,
and its success would be the down
fall Of the negro race. Surely our
colored citizens see that this move
ment is made by the same old leaders
who tell the same lies, pronounce the
same curses, circulate the same SLAM
ders, and if elected, will expect to do
Identically the same stealing they did
before.

Republic an Alarm.

About the most inconsistent argument
raised By the Republican press is that the
Democrats, if successful, will use the cleo
ton laws to the benefit of the Democratic
party. thus enabling them by the appoint
nsnt of deputy msrshals to control eleca
tions. Inasmuch as the Republican press
aud speakers have taught their followers
to believe that the election laws were ac-
tually necessary TO the existence of the
country, and as these ..'patriots" are so
much interested in the country-to hear
them tell tit is somewhat strange that
they should cry out in alarm against the
election laws. especially as they originated
the-same. The fact is they feel defeat is
sure to come to them. and with it the con-
troll OF the government machinery. They
know the election laws are infamous par
tisan measures; that the party in power
oan use them TO defeat the will of the
people, and knowing that they 1.-THE Re-
pubIicans1 have used these election laws
for the purpose of assisting in Republican
frauds, they are alarmed for fear the
Democrats may turn the tables.
One by one the fallacies and
knaveries of the Republican party
are shown mp in true light. and
with exposure comes increased disgust for
the Republican party-a party which is q
sham and fraud-a party which is hypo-
critical. corrupt, and whose continuation in
power can only bring disaster to the best
interests of the people. It is time we had
. change, ID is time that the corruptions of
the Republican party ceased and the peo-
Pile had a chance. In the meantime the
Republican press need borrow no trouble

The Democrats detected two negroes in
Indiana who disclosed plot which had
been formed to do illegal voting. After
securing positive evidence. they went to
Supervisor lockwood. who has been Sc
lected to initiate John l. Davenport. and
demanded the arrest of two negroes who
were known to be of the party of ballot
box suffers. The Republican supervisor.
however, true to the traditional partisan
ship Of his party, refused to order the ar
rest. on the plea that the act had not been
committed. In his eagerness to serve the
party, however. the supervisor made a
precedent which win prevent Davenport
tactics in Iadiana. and now the Republi-
cans are growing at lockwood for not
ordering the arrest of the two negroes,
even if they were released one hour after
the arrest was made. Sometimes Repub
lican partisan fidelity can oVerreaeh, and
this case seems to be one of that class.

majority of one hundred in the House oil
Representatives, Three times successive
~, in 1874, in 1876 and in 1878. the Dem
oc'ats carried the popular branch of Com
grsss, and last year they gained the
Senate. In 1876 Mr.. Tilden had q popu-
len majority of one million of white and
blnck votes over quarter of million OF
wi lite votes alone, and majority of thirty
seven IN the Electoral Colleges.
IN the local elections OF 1878 and 1879
