A Boston dispatch of yesterday announces

A BOSTON dispatch of yesterday announces
the death in that city of Judge Peleg
Sprague, who was Representative in Con-
gress from Maine in 1925 '29, and Senator
Of the United States in 1S29-'35. Judge
Sprague's life extended through nearly all
the first century of the United States, he
having been born In Duxbury. Massachusetts,
in April, 1893. He graduated from Harvard
in 1872, and IN 1s47 received from that in
stitution the degree of LID. Being ad-
mitted to the bar in 1915, he practiced ten
years in Augusta, Maine, and then settled
in Hollowell, where he speedily acquired dis
tinction, resulting in his serving his people
in a legislative capacity continuously from
1920 to 1885, in which latter year he re-
moved to Boston. In 1S41 he was appointed
United States District Judge for Massachu-
sets, which Office he held until 1865. He
is the author eff "Speeches and Addresses -
1853, and his Decisions" published IN
1861 and 1868, are regarded as among the
most valuable of references for legal author
ity. In politics Judge Sprague was Fed
erslist, Wing and Republican, successfully.

IT is very doubtful if the history Of our
country can point to more corrupt and
damning campaign than the one just closed
in Indiana by the Republican party. Every
Office holder in the entire country has been
made to contribute to fund which has been
used for debauching the people-for paying
the expenses of colonies of ignorant negroes
in the various parts of the State to diminish
honest Democratic majorities. In small
district of the State the Democratic gains
were over 5000 and the gains of the Repub-
licans over 1000. This shows fraud on the
very face. The time is opportune to counsel
the opponents of radicalism to buckle on
their armor, and resolve to fight with des-
peraa until the polls are closed on No
vember I'd. Victory is sure if every Demo
crat will do his duty. In November the
hummer element which was oolonized in In
diana will be required at home, and the
funds which were 90 laviahly expended will
be required elsewhere.

Curious Family Customs.
New York World.1

New York World.
VIM. Henry Smith, of Chicago, who su-
perintends the Republican Geographic cam
paign at the West, seems to have very nice
notion of family life. He yesterday caused
to be published in the Times and the
Tribune of this city remarkable effusion
purporting to come from ga member of Gen.
Hancock's military family who regards Gen.
Hancock with something of the same affec-
ton son feels for his father" In this effu-
sion Gen. Hancock wa gracefully alluded to
as ''no more fit for the Presidency than a
withered hemlock"-as likely to be driven
"stark mad'' by the campaign, and as show
ing "strong symptoms" of an apoplectic
stroke. Since Ham interviewed his father
Noah shortly after the deluge, there
has been nothing like this in
the way of flial affection, but as the
journal of Mr.. VIM. Henry Smith says of
1t that sit reads like family letter. and
that it 'shows the writer's affection for his
commanding general" we are forced to the
conclusion that it must be the custom in
VIM. Henry Smithyille for sons to prove
their devotion to their sires by getting them
indicted as felons or locked up as lunatics.

TIE EFFECTS OF ooLoNrz ALTON

The colored population of the United
States have demonstrated their power. They
are an important factor not only in national
but in State politics. They are, in fact. an
essential element in politics, and will con-
tinue to be so for some years to come. The
fast is shown by the returns from Indiana,
where, at so much a head the black cattle
we're imported by contractors and farmed
out for few avs or weeks to vote the Re-
publican ticket. Since WINDOWS exodus
scheme was first mooted, a class of adventur-
ers have sprung up who were willing to sell
their honor and everything else they possess.
ed for q consideration. They found ready
purchasers in the managers of the Republi-
can party. They were employed to import in.
to Indiana a certain number of negroes who
were to be used as tools of the Republican
party. 1t is evident that the contractors
have fulfilled their obligations, and have de.
livered their goods-a pest-ridden, disrepu
table set of dogs. Wherever the negroes
were coloni1ed the returns show Republican
gains. A party that depends upon such
means and such animals for success at the
polls deserves the execration of every intelli-
gent being.

THE RESULT ON TUESDAY,.

The result of the election on Tuesday is q
great surprise to all parties. The Republi-
cans appear to have underestimated their
own strength and the Democrats to have
overestimsted.
Upon the shameful means employed to
secure the election it is not necessary to en-
large at this time. It Is probable that no
such lavish purchase has ever been Witness
ed in our political history.
However that may be the result is sur
prise and disappointment to the Democracy.
They expected to lose Ohio, but not by an
overwhelming majority, and they expected
to carry Indiana, but not by large
majority. The sequel shows that
the Democracy were sadly mistaken,
and they must put forth renewed effort to
eject Gen. Hancock in November.
So far as the election November is con-
cerned the Democra tic defeat on Tuesday is
in reality an advantage. A feeling of fan
cied security ives springing up that will no
longer exist. If the Democrats had carried
the election on Tuesday the battle wonld
have been ended utterly and
completely. Gen. Hancock would have
been the President beyond peradventure,
and that too without much effort.
Gen. Hancock will still be chosen Presi-
dent. but every energy possible must be
put forth to secure that result. There can
be no idleness, no relaxation. The fight
must go on day by day with the October
results in the back ground. They are un-
toward but far from making rout. In the
great pivotal State of New York they
do not weigh feather in the balance. That
State gave her electoral vote to Seymour in
1868. when every one knew that his election
was hopeless. New York is as sure for
Hancock as the arrival of election day. The
October elections will simply make more
effort necessary, and that necessary work
will be forthcoming.
There is not the slightest ground for re-
greet. We simply expected to practically
close the Presidential campaign Tuesday
night, but did not do so, The struggle is
prolonged three weeks longer, and both par
ties will resume hostilities. OF the final
result there need be no apprehension. The
necessary State agencies have simply gotten
three weeks to work on their hands instead
of having scored final victory.

TIE PARTY OF THE PEOPLE.

Whatever the result of the elections of
Tuesday may be, the fact remains that the
Democratic party is still the party of the
people. Money may influence few votes
in every community, and those few votes
may serve to change the verdict of an entire
State or Congressional district. 1t is evil
dent that this potent power has been en-
ployed during the past few weeks, and the
results are shown in the returns. Wherever
purchasable votes existed they were ap-
preached and captured by the Republican
managers.
The fact has been demonstrated that, aside
from the money influence, Hancock is more
popular than the Democratic party. There

ers. Mud has been flung at him without
stint, but none of it has stuck, and after
three and half months in the crucible he is
TO- day acknowledged on all hands to be sans
peur ct sans reproche.
Gen. Hancock will be elected President of
the United States on the second day of No
vember, whether the October States have
declared favorably or otherwise on LEGAL is
sues. He will carry Indiana without a
doubt. He will stand an excellent show of
carrying Mr.. Garield's own State. He will
carry New York by larger majority than
was given to Tilden, and New Jersey and
Connecticut as well, with fair prospect of
winning in California and Oregon. At any
rate he will have SO decisive a majority that
no eight to seven commission will be
needed to determine the cast of the die.
Gen. Hancock is more popular than the
party he represents, because of the fact that
he has not been as persistently maligned.
The Democratic party has been charged

tives of the party did Tuesday.
