Editor Democrat.
Among the many delightful fca-
lures Of our pleasures here below,
We think the tenth anniversary Of
Mr.. James n. Butcher and his am
liable and kind-hearted little wife,
will DO recollectcd forever on the
brow Of memories unfading pleas
urcs. Early on the evening Of the
18th inst, the unnumbcrcd friends
began to gather at the residence Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Butcher, bringing
with them the choicest articles that
the town ofWcston could afford
from the little gum rattle TO the
finest chromos in Jim Finster's.
1t was q variety wedding-and
well might it DO called such; for
all kinds ofprescnts were there,
bearing uncrring evidence Of the
high appreciation in which Mr.. D.
and his wife are held by the people
of our town.
All the amusements that are cal
u .
culated to enhance the dancing
souls Of ecstacy were there; in fact.
everything that could contribute to
the nlcrriment ofindividuals on an
occasion Of this character was ex-
perienccd by those whose good for
tune it was 10 be iii attendance.
As we remarked in the beginning,
this joyful anniversary, associated
with The hospitality and. courteous
demcanor of Mr.. and Mrs. B., will
be clustered in the folds Of many
impcrishablc memories, there to
bloom and blossom for the l,appi-
ness Of those whose tenth ami

Solid for Hancock.

Hon. Edwards Pierrepent, in the
opening of his speech at Cooper In
stitute in New York "Wednesday
evening of last week, spoke these
impressive and truthful words: "The
Democratic orators and the Demo-
cratic press boastfully tell you that
the South is solid for Hancock. Well,
it was solid for secession solid for
Jeff Davis! There is not loyal
State solid for Hancock. Every
Northern State is either very DOUBT.
full or else certain for Garfield. II
there is a free vote and fair count
every Northern State will declare for
Garfield. What does it mean, that
the South is so solid for Hancock
and that not many at the North are
for HIM, except those who sympa-
thized with secession? 1t bodies evil
to the Republic if you let him be
elected"
Why is the South solid for Han
cock. Let General Toombs, a rebel
Brigadier who fought to divide and
destroy this Union, tell: 1--WE can

An impressive address to the
workingmen ofthe Mahoning Valley
was published at Youngstown, Ohio
Monday. 1t was signed by capitalists
and manufacturers representing $780,
100000, and by committees of work.
ingmen representing 5000 working
men of all grades. 1t represented
the uprising of the labor interests of
that busy section against the free
trade, labor destroying tendencies of
The Democratic party. In their por-
ton of the address the employers de-
clare that they support the Republi-
can ticket because the Republican par
ty is the only party before the people
that has openly declared for the pro.
lection of American industry be-
cause the Democratic party is pledged
to free trade because under protec-
tive tariff wages are. good, while
trade would close the factories
and rolling mills and bring wide-
spread ruin to the Valley. In res
pose to this address the laborers say
in their part of the document: "The
mills and furnaces are all running
full tilt. We have steady work and
good wages. Why should we vote
for a changer" Why. indeed.

Judge Pierrepont hit the nail on
the head when he said in his late
speech "if the Solid South had 1856
electoral votes instead of 1873. do you
for one moment suppose that they
would have nominated Hancock ?''
There is only one answer to this
question, and every intelligent Am
erIcan knows it. Parties usually se-
lect candidates because they repre-
sent the principles of the organiza-
tion, but the Democracy have not
been in that line of business for
years. They nominated Hal cock,
not because he seemed to represent
their principles, but because they
hoped his record as Union soldier
would misrepresent them sufficiently
to catch votes for the party. They
needed decoy duck. If the Solid
South had enough electoral votes to
elect President, we should have
SETH ICdi uilu DOlu CoChtatlNC vi
the Southern spirit nominated at
Cincinnati. 1t might have been
Wade Hamp on or Mr.. Lamar. Gen.
Hancock is to be paraded before the
election as the Union soldier after
election he will be promptly put
Under the orders of the solid South.
And those orders will be obeyea. A
truer word was meyer spoken than
Judge PIerrepont's reminder that,
once give the South control of the
government with its hundred thous-
and appointments. and the servile
support of Northern Democrats will
ne ar be wanting. The voter who
thinks that the Northern Democracy
would resist any violent or revolu-
ito ary action by thhe South is feed
ing himself with wind. The South
ern Democrats have always been the
ma ;ters, and always will be.

not put one of our own men in this
time, and have to take Yank.n
The shot gun has made the South
solid for Hancock.
The South is solid for Hancock be-
cause they expect to use him, if
elected, for their own selfish ends and
t" restore to them what they lost in
the the four years fight on the field.
"You may depend upon it, sir"
says the unreconstructed Brigadier
Toombs, "that 'Yank' or no 'Yank,'
II elected, the old boys of the South
will see that Hancock does the fair
thing by them."
In other words, the "Solid South"
VIII run the machine if Honcock is
elected, and will run it in the inter-
ests of the "Solid South" And that
is why the "Solid South is solid for

Inc Hon. Samuel S. Cox, of New
York, is being hauled over the Goals
no aceepnt Of the two large bags fnll
OF empty envelopes bearing his
frank which were recently sent to
the Democratic committee at Wash.
lngton, principally for the purpose
of sending campaign documents
free through the mails. Mr.. Cox
denies all knowledge of the bags and
their contents, which are, however,
detained by the postoffice authori-
ties on the charge that they are con-
traband matter. In addition to these
there are some more bags filled with
franked envelopes detained by the
postal authorities, the franks on the
envelopes being by the following
senators and representatives WAL
lace. of Pennsylvania Call, of Flor
ida; Clymer and Ryan, of Pennsyl.
vania; Blackburn, of Kentucky;
Dunn, of Arkansas. These bags,
containing the unfranked envelopes,
were sent from Washington to New
York, the necessary autographs were
there written on the envelopes, and
the bags marked Pub. Docs. Free;n
and with the name of Senator Wal
lace on the wooden tag attached to
the bag, were returned to the capt.
tai, having made the round trip to
New York and back as free matter
and in violation of the laws of the
country. Mr.. Cox is emphatic in his
denial of any participation in the
fraud, but it is thought very curious
that his frank could have been OBJ
tanned to several hundred envelopes
without his knowing the purpose for
which it was intended.

The German Democrats in New
York city are deserting the party so
far as local politics are concerned.
At meeting CT German American
Democratic organizations on Satur-
day resolution was passed for the
holding of a convention to nominate
local ticket, as the negotiations of
the leaders of both factions of the
Democratic party were not such as
to inspire confidence, and utterly
deroeatory to that dignitylof repre-
sentative government" A serious
detection amongst the Germans
would be severe blow to the party,
and with anything like fair cleo
ton would be apt to put Tammany
out Of office.
