DEMOCRATIC OPINION OF

s'No person who served in the con-

claim that can be made, must there

Resaca, Burnt Hickory, Kingston,

went into the engagements I'll of
his regiment, and eighty.four of
them were killed on the spot,
and he received two gun shot Wounds.
He was also In the ChIckest of the
battle at Jonesboro, Ga, franklin and
Nashville, Tennessee. He was also
present at Fort Anderson and Lee, n.

this canvass upon his war record, but

specie payments. It raised the credit o.
the country to q level with the most ia
vored nations of the world. Under the
last Democratic administration money
could not be borrowed at better than l.
per cent. per annum. Now United States
per cent. bonds sell at premium of
per cent, and our paper currency, wheth
or greenbacks or national bank notes
which are good everywhere at home, are
also equal to gold in London, Paris, vi
emma and Berlin.
1t also reformed abuses in the govern
ment, until now the administration is
without spot or blemish, or even suspic
ion. The vast revenues are collected
without loss, and the expenditures are &C
counted for to the last dollar. The ad.
ministration, too, has been more economi
cal than the Democratic Congress. Mill.
ions that had been appropriated have been
saved and returned to the Treasury.
And this is the party the record OF
which fills the brightest pages in the
history of civilization, that Mr.. GrCes.
beck wants turned out to make room for
the Democratic party, covered as it is
with the blood OF patriots, and controlled
as it is by the States that sought to destroy
the government.
And Mr.. Groesbeck talks as if the Re
publican party desired an empire or
sought to reduce the States to provinces,
and he does this in the interest of party
that sought to establish an empire, the
corner stone OF which should be human
slavery, end of party that, now the war
is over, excludes from the ballot box, not
by law, it is true, but by force, men who are
citizens under the Constitution, because
they are poor or because they are colored
Ii Mr.. Groesbeck wants "change" in
order that 100000 Office holders may be
turned out and 100000 hungry office
seekers turned in, he ought TO say so. In
that case he would be understood. Let
him bid plainly for the spoils, if that is
what he wants. If that is the measure OF
his craftsmanship, let it be so understood
The country will then know how to take
his measure.

swer was that Colonel and General or
Major SC and so resided there, and that he
was never known to have any business.
The city has population of $4,000. Of
this number, over 80, 900 are colored How
the latter class exists is mystery. They,
like the society of Norfolk, are exclusive !;
they don't mix with the whites. There
seems to be some Misunderstanding about
the Fifteenth amendment down here. 1t
cannot be better illustrated than by the
conversation | had with lad OF is years,
one of the F, f. VS. He was telling me
about the splendid place the boys had to
swim in the canal.
"Do the colored boys 60 in there, too P"
l asked.
The boy looked atme with undisguised
establishment and contempt.
"Nlggers IN swimming with white
boys? | reckon not. They've got no
right to, come where we are.'
Chow do you keep them away9"
"Stone 'em, club 'em or do anything
with 'em we want to-"
He then went on to tell me what q
beautiful place Belle Isle was, and I ask.
ed HIM II there was anything remaining
by which one could tell it had been used
as prison.
He confessed his ignorance; he never
knew there had been a prison there.

wer in your schools2" l asked.
"Oh" he answered CONTEMPORARY.
I'VE haven't got anything but Yankee
histories and we don't like their side"

have met several Northern men who
have come South thinking that by enter
prise and industry they could do better
than at home. 1t was "a FOOLS Grand"
for them. So soon as 1t was discovered
that they were Northerners, and, worse
than all, Republicans, nobody would have
anything to do with them. Now they
want to 60 home. AS | said before, be-
fore came here, l was inclined to be
lieve that the Southern people were much
abused, and that they were waiting, with
fearful eyes and penitent hearts, to be
taken back into the fold, and that any.
thing to the contrary was all nonsense.
Now my Impressions are these: That so
long as there is solid South all attempts
at unity on grand scale will fail. The
Southern Democrats don't want unity.
They are living in the hope that by OBJ.
stinacy and perseverance they may yet
accomplish their end, and they hope to do
1t by the election of a Democratic Presi-
dent. To my mind, the thing narrows
down to this: A Republican President
would be elected by loyal men in the
North; Democratic President would be
elected by rebels in the South, and he
would, therefore, be the President Of the
South. They don't take to Hancock very
kindly down here, but will support him
on general principles. Bayard was the
man they wanted. However, they are led
to believe that Hancock will carry half of
the Northern States, and they have no
doubt of his election. They are accord.
ingly hopeful, and rebel claims are being
taken from their places in f1re-proof safes
for use IN the near future

The Republican Candidate.

General Garfelds career illustrates in q
remarkable degree the possibilities of
American .i:s to one born with a strong
brain in strong body, and gifted with
industry, courage, perseverance and a
high ambition. His father, poor
farmer, possessed of sterile acres and q
large family, died when he was six years
old. He had no well-to do relatives to
help him along. In fact, he had no help
save the counsels of wise, resolute, re-
ligious mother, and no capital save what
lay in his own head and hands. With
the labor of his hands, put forth in the
lower forms Of honest toll, with the axe,
the hoe, the carpenters plane, and on the
tow-path Of canal. he gained the means
to obtain such education as rural acad-
envy afforded. Then, making a capital
of his new store of knowledge, he taught
country schools, and got the means to
take higher course of stddy. Equipped
with the training of Massachusetts col.
lege, he opened for himself a path in life
which began with the Latin and Greek
professorship of an obscure school in
Ohio, and broadened until 1t led to q
maj generalshlp in the Union army, to
seat in Congress held for nine conse.
cutive terms, ia an election to the Senate
by the unanimous choice Of his party in
the Ohio legislature, and now to the Re.
publican nomination for the presidency.
All these honors came to him without
solicitation, and without effort on his
part to grasp them. So far az
fate shaped his career in life, 1t
was the career of dav Ia
borer. His purposes, an indomitable
will, great capacity for work. fixed
principles, and good habits enabled HIM
to compel fate, and change that career to
one of conspicuous honor and usefulness.
Every farmer boy cannot become Ma
jor- General, a Senator, and Presidential
nominee, but the lesson Of Garfeld's life
is that the institutions of this country
place no obstacles in the way Of the poor
est lad who tolls in the fields or the
workshop. 1t is q lesson full of encour.
agement and cheer. 1t shows that the
country is not wholly given over ID the
rule OF political rings, bosses, and con.
spirators, and that one party at least is
still strong enough and wise enough to
"pluck from the nettle danger the flower
safety" and to select for its leader man
whose worthiness and fitness are his only
strength. 1t shows, too, that in spite of
all the changes in our social fabric,
brought about by the growth Of great
corporations and the accumulation of vast
wealth in few hands, talent and manli-
ness, unaided by money, can still win
their way to the most exalted positions.
The Presidency is not yet sold to the
highest bidder, nor disposed of by q
junto of selfish political schemers.-Au-
gust Atlantic,
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1880-07-28

There Is the greatest reason for apprehension
that the exorbitant claims upon the public treas
ury, by no means limited to hundreds of mill ons
already covered by bills introduced in Congress
within the past four years, would be successfully
urged If the Democratic party should succeed in
Legislature by electing the executive also. There
is danger in entrusting the control OF the whole
law-making power of the government to party
dated obligations quite as sacred as those to
which the faith of the nation now stands pledged
do not doubt that success awaits the Repub-
lican party, and that its triumph will assure
just, economical and patriotic administration.
