The New Orleans Democra1

The New Orleans Democrat
contributed $1,000 to the Demo
cratic campaign in Indiana. The
example should be followed by 9TH
ers. Every town in the South
ought to take up a subscription
for the Democratic cause in Indi
ana, New York. New Jersey and
Connecticut. Every person could
give something. What place in
Mississippi will commence the
work2 The Democratic party has
no army Of officers to assess, and
what funds it gets must come by
voluntary contributions. Elections
In the north are largely controlled
by money. and the Democratic Ex-
ecntive COMMITTEES ought to be snp-
piled by the advocates of the gal
liant Hancock.

how the Republican scamps robbed
the Democracy of the Indiana cleo

THERE has been some talk that
the Democrats would withdraw
English and put up some Other
Western man for the Vice Presi-
dency. 1t is to late to "swap
horses now. If the Democrats did
a bad thin g in nominating Eng
fish, thinking he would use his
money freely, they will have to
make the best of a bad bargain.
True the loss of Indiana to the
Democracy at the last election, does
not show a strong endorsement of
English, but it must be understood
that there is a great difference be-
tween him and Landers. He is a
hard money man, while Landers is
a Greenbacker at heart.

The Republicans feel better over
the result of the elections in Ohio
and Indiana than they did the day
after Maine voted. 1t is right that
every crowd should have a day to

My DEAR GENERAL:--My atten-
ton is called to-day to an interview,
or a reported interview, had with
you by a person representing the
Patterson Guardian, of this State.
AS / read the report it seems to
me you were very imperfectly nm
derstood or very i%ndiferently re-
ported. 7 come to this conclusion
because of my knowledge of your
views uponsthe tariff question. The
report does you injustice. The sub
ject is one which III ma%nufactur-
ing friends are very solicitous
about, and very properly SO. 1 re-
greet, that your views upon the tariff
question, as / understand them to
be, had not found fuller expression
in your letter Of acceptance. If
the mier-nresentation of your tariff
views continue would it not be wise
and just to take some occasion to
to put yourself right?
Very truly yours,
