The Campaign In West Virginia senafor


The people of the United States know enough
to stand still when they stand well. There
was no danger to Republicans when wheat
brought good price and labor was plenty.
The 'solid South alone gave the Demo-
Gratis any hope. Ii you elected General
Hancock you will inevitably with
in the space of twelve months-I am not
sme that it would not be within
ninety days-hand over to .he Democratic
party, led by Southern men, the control of
the Supreme Court of the United States alb
solutely Five of those Judges are to-day
beyond 20. or in that neighborhood. They
may accept retirement at full pay. Ii they
are reluctant to do so, Democratic Presi-
dent, backed by Democratic Senate and
House, will swamp that Court by superior
numbers. Blaine denounced the interference
of English clubs and associations in our
affairs, by sending free trade tracts over here
for circulation, saying that he thought Presi-
dent Hayes would be justified in ilstrueting
Secretary Evarts to protest against such a
fragrant breach of international courtesy.
Referring to Maine, he said that if she hadn't
set the country good example she had given
them a terrible warning. He ascribed the
result there to liberal use of money in cor
rupt ways by the Fusionists. He warned his
hearers to be on their guard for the same con-
duct of the campaign here, and closed with a
warm eulogy on General Garfield and an elo-
ouent review of the past achievements of the
Republican party.
Tonight monster torchlight demonstra-
ton is taking place, the residences of nearly
all the Republican citizens being beautifully
illuminated and decorated, and some 1000
uniformed men bearing torches were in the
lines.

SARATOGA, September 2Sth.-The Demo

PHILADELPHIA, September 28th.-In the
Pan Presbyterian Council to-day, DIR. Nelson
of New Hebrides pleaded for shortening the
creed, leaving subsidiary things of belief to
individual conscience. His Presbytery has
adopted the London Mission creed, and there
was no difficulty found in admitting candi-
dates to his church on that confession, which
could be written ON one short page.

The Nevada senatorship.
NEW YORK. September 2Sth.-The Press
saws of Fairs recent letter Colonel Fair is
a member of the bonanza firm, is a very rich
man and probably an able one; but the
country will be much better pleased if some-
body else were sent to the Senate from Neva-
da. Now that Cleopatra's needle is in this
country, and that very large-sized eye can
be punched in ii, great objection to the
presence of rich men any where has been re-
moved. But as Mark Twain once said of
certain other occurrences in Nevada, this
thing of that State being represented in the
United States Senate by silver brick is
getting nonotonous.
The Canadian Pacific Railroad Syndicate.
NEw York. September 2Sth.-The Com
nercial Bulletin says: The Frankfort bank.
ers, it would appear, are included in the
Canadian Pacific Railroad syndicate, but to
what extent they are committed the public
must wait and see, as Sir John Mcdonald,
who has Just returned, will condescend to
furnish no particulars The fact, neverthe-
less, is significant, inasmuch as the invest
ment of German money in the enterprise
naturally, if not necessarily, implies German
immigration also.
