The Memphis Tenn AUdloache.
Democratic paper, talks in this
strain;
1.-THE Indiana election was a revo.
luton. A change of 10000 votes to
the Republican party within two
years in so closely contested State
is significant of the final overthrow
of the Democratic party. This rev.
oIution not only means the defeat of
Hancock in November, but it means
the disarmament of the Democratic
organization, to be followed by the
disruption of the Republican party
and the reconstruction of parties on
new issues. The disintegration of
the Southern wing of the Democratic
party is now far advanced in nearly
every Southern State. With reas.
enable certainty Of electing Hancock
the Southern Democrats would have
stuck to the national ticket until the
I'd of November, and cast 1873 cleo
t0ral votes for the Democratic candi-
date. But the unexpected and over
whelming disaster in Indiana will
paralyze Southern Democrats. The
1873 electoral votes cannot now be
counted as secure for Hancock. Vir-
ginia. South Carolina, North Carolina
and Florida may now be counted as
doubtful States. The change of opin-
ion developed by the result of We'd
nesday's election in Indiana has fairly
stunned the Southern Democrats.
They see in that result solid Nt61sffA
for Garfield. AS an independent
journal, the AUdl0ache deems it 'un-
necessary to disguise the full extent
and the far-reaching consequences of
the great Democratic disaster. In
the presence of a political solid North
the POLITICAL solid South will disap-
pear. There are now two solid sec
tonal parties. There will continue
to be two Of these sectional parties
until one of them takes the lead in
the work of disarmament. The
Indiana verdict demands that the
political solid South shall be the first
to disband, and if the Democrats of
the South are wise they will grace
fully acknowledge the verdict with
the full assurance that with the final
disappearance of the solid South the
solid North also finally disappears.

If anything were needed to COM
plete the list of Democratic blunders
in this campaign it would be the silly
idea of employing some clumsy for
ger to write letter purp0rting to
come from Garfield. in which he is
made to maintain the theory of UNI
limited Chinese immigration and
cheap labor. The fraud was so ut
terly stupid, so certain of detection,
that it seems incredible that ordInar
lily intelligent men. such as those
who are associated with Mr.. Barnum
in the management Of the campaign
could have been induced to father it.
Leaving out of the question the mo-
raity of the schen e, any moderately
clever scoundrel could have improv-
ed upon the method of its execution.
One of the grossest mistakes was to
address the letter to an imaginary
person age, when there might casiiy
have been selected as its alleged re-
cipient some good, loyal Democrat
who would have sworn through thick
and thin that General Garfield did
address such missiye to him. An
other blunder was in not having the
forgery prepared by better expert
in the imitation of handwriting, and
one who could also construct senten-
ces in The pure English that is char
acteristlc of everything that Garfield
has written or spoken, But the
crowning error consisted in cancell-
ing the stamp upon the envelope
with the representation of die that
was not in use at the Washington
post0ffice at the date when the letter
purported to have been mailed
January 23d, 1850. The cancellation
was made by the counterfeit of
stamp that was not brought into use
until April 10 of this year. which
conclusively shows that the forgery
is something recent, and has probably
been conceived within the last two
weeks. There are plenty of convic-
ted felons in the penitentiaries Of the
land who could have planned for Mr..
Barnum something infinitely more
clever than this forgery.

Turn Out.

Some of our most estimahle citi-
Zens, belonging to the Bunker
Church, seem disposed to take little
or no part in politics but they
should remember that the stability
of our government depends on the
election of good men, and their civil
and religious liberty depends on
good government.
No member of their church was
forced to take up arms on the Union
side during the war, but little
South of here, where the rebels had
the sway, they had to flee to the
mountains and hide in the woods, or
be driven into the rebel army. They
were incarcerated in prisons, some of
their bright lights were murdered in
cold blood for no other crime only
that they believed in the Union of
their fathers; others who had set
their faces towards the land Of the
free were hunted down and shot like
wild beasts.
If the Republicans retain control
of the government you will have
peace, and your civil and religious
liberties will be respected. But if
the late rebels control the govern
ment, which they will if the Dem
Ocracy elect their man, you have no
guaranteeing one can predict what
will be the final result. Turn out
then, friends, and assist in eIecting
Mr.. Urner, a good man for Congress,
and Generals Garfield and Arthur,
two good meil to administer the
Government.

What is the value OF a Hancock
pledge? He announced, in his letter
of acceptance, that the principles of
the Democratic party were those he
had cherished in the past and should
do his best to maintain in the flu
ture. That was a formal and dis
tinct pledge. He now says in a
mu6dled way that he shall do moth
ing to interfere with protection to
American labor. Which pied ge
will he keep? The former one he
made to his whole party but he
coolly breaks it when he finds it will
cost him votes. Can a man who
breaks one pledge be depended upon
to keep another? What is his South
ern claims letter worth in the light
of these tariff contortions? General
Grant was right-he is crazy to be
President, and will make or break
any sort of pledge which he thinks
will help elect him.

An extraordinary meeting was
held on Friday evening at Reding-
ton, Pa, where the ColOraine iron
works are situated. The speakers
made their addresses from platform
built over the mouth of a furnace in
the casting house, which is to be put
in blast on the day that the election
of Garfield is assured. If defeated,
the furnace will remain cold. Many
of the Democratic workingmen in
attendance have been converted by
this method of ST owing the impor-
lance of protection to the workers in
iron.

Democratic newspapers which have

Democratic newspapers which have
not had the life entirely knocked out
of them are growing military. They
talk of desperate struggles. They
foreshadow a tremendous battle
which is to come off in fortnight.
They call upon all their friends to
arm for The conflict. They passion
ately suggest daring and aggressive
policy. All this talk amounts TO
nothing, and those who indulge in it
know that it amounts to nothing.
Mere verbs and wind will not elect
anybody. Simple gable of this sort
will not even gracefully cover a re-
treat. The great point for party is
to get the people upon its side; un-
less il can do that, no amount of
military metaphor will help it. If
the Democrats find that whistling
keeps up their courage, let them
whiste-there is nothing in the
statutes nor in the Constitution which
forbids the indulgence. But whist
ling isn't voting, any more than atfi-
davits are Holsters.

That a Catholic newspaper OF DEM
ocratic tendencies, which the New
York Tablet is, should talk SO far out
of the ordinary rut as it does this
week is somewhat astonishing. 1t
says; 1.-THE astounding result of the
elections in Indiana and Ohio have
demonstrated two things, namely
That the people are ahead of the pol.
iticians, and that the Irish haye
smashed the traces that fettered them
to the party machine. We
do not advise them to vote the Re
publican, the Democratic, or Green
back ticket-far be it from us to at
tempt to dictate to any one how he
shall yote-but we repeat what we
have before asserted, namely, that
until the Irish vote independently
of party dictation and party leaders,
they will never command that re-
spect and attention in American pol
itics to which their numbers and in-
telligence entitle them"

AMERICAN GOODS IN AUSTRALIA.

- The American manufacturers
whose goods were put on exhibition
at the international fairs at Mel
bourne and Sydney, in Australia,
have reason to be gratified by the
success that has attended their enter
prise. American railway machinery,
agricultural machinery and imple-
ments, iron work CT various kinds,
including cutlery, and also that great
variety of things known to the trade
under the general name Of notions,
are meeting with a steadily increas-
ing demand In the Australian mar
kets. A large dealer in Melbourne
writes to the London honnaonge1'
that whereas twenty years ago AM
erican and otner foreign goods con.
stituted not more than five per cent.
of her stock, they now amount to
from twenty to twenty-five per cent.
The Victorian ReUieU, commenting
on the recent international exhibit
tions, remarks that american man.
ufacturers are perpetual source OF
wonder and instruction to the foreign
observer. In perfection of machine
ny, scientific division of labor and
completeness of execution there is
nothing in the world eside to be
compared with Them" Orders have
been received in this country fol
railway locomotives, bridges and
weighing machinery. Boston is
shipping to Australia metal goods
and great variety of other articles
while many other kinds of American
goods are reaching Australia through
English houses.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

Special Correspondence to The Republican
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Oct. 26, 1891
The Democratic organs are TRYING
to prove that General Hancock isa
protectiOnist standing upon free
trade platform, at the same time thew
are denouncing Garfield as a free
trader, who is running on protec.
ton platform. 1t is safe to predict
that if the Democrats ever nominate
another Presidential ticket they will
not put under him "free traden
platform.
While speaking on the tariff, it
may be of interest to compare the
Democratic platform on that subject
with the Constitution of the Conftd-
eracy. The third section OfIthe Dem.
ocratic platform adopted at Cincin.
natl June oath, 1880 says: "Ths
strict maintenance of the public faith,
State and National, and a tariff FIR
revenue only" The Constitution of
the Confederate States of America,
Article l, section 8, says: Nor shall
any duties or taxes on imp0rtations
from reign Nations be laid to pro.
mote or foster any branch of indus
try" This section was the price to
be paid the manufacturers of England
for their aid during the war. and this
promise is now, if possible, to be re.
deemed by the Democrats of to day
by "a tariff for revenue only"
Colonel Lee era ndall, editor of the
National VtelO, the GrCenback organ
here, is in receipt of intelligence
from Indiana Greenbackers denoune-
ing the proposed fusion scheme with
the Democrats. They manifest the
greatest bitterness and hostility to-
wards the party of English and Lam
ders, and are bent now on vengeance
simply for the sake OF De La Matyr.
To the Democratic party they owe
the defeat of their chief oracle, and
they cannot for get it. They resent
the Oyertures of the Democrats rs
evidence OF unblushing affrontry.
The Democrats, alarmed for the
safety of Virginia's electoral vote, are
endeavOring to elicit comfort from
General Mahone's recent visit to
Philadelphia. / have knowledge
that these visits are of no political
Importance, and that there can be no
fusion of Democrats in Virginia.
A good deal has been written about
General Hancock at the battle IF
Gettysburg, and his friends are
highly indignant that any one should
dare to question the assertion that
General Hancock is the true hero of
that famous and important battle.
The Democrats of day do not hest
tate to putin this claim and challenge
proof to the contrary. If General
Hancock ever deserved the credit of
the victory at Gettysburg it seems
strange that his Democratic friends
in the Senate and in the House of
the thirty. eight Congress, when a
resolution was offered and passed.
thanking Meade, Hooker, Howard
and other Generals, failed to put in
claim for Hancock, or to even men,
ton his name when the resolution
was under discussion.
The good work accomplished by
the vigorous tariff card'' campaign
in New York, and other States. is
beyond calculation. 1t has placed
the dangers of Democratic rule be-
fore the laboring man, in plain
straightforward manner, and has
convinced thousands of working men,
that "free trade means starvation.
