AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE.
Read, Reflect, Acti

New YoRK. Oct. 14.-The National
Democratic Executive Committee met to-
day and issued the following:
| To the Democratic and conservative
voters OF the country: The election of
| president and vice president is now before
| you. State and local dissensons are
eliminated from the issues of the day.
The magnitude of the victory or defeat
can only be estimated by the forces and
| means employed in securing it, By fraud
and corruption the people of the country
were defeated in their purpose in 1876
and the rightfully elected president was
kept from office. With the combined
capital of the Republican party, aided by
| repeated assessments upon an army of
office holders, with the power of the feder-
al government represented by United
States marshals at the polls, with intimi
dation, fraud and resort.to every corrupt
appliance known to Republican methods.
concentrated in two states, our adversaries
have succeeded in procuring the probable
return of the local candidates. Can it be
possible that in every state throughout
this broad land the same methods can
be brought to bear that were used by the
Republican managers in Indiana and
Ohio. Can the great states OF New
Y ork, New Jersey, Connecticut. Cali
fornia Colorado. Nevada, and New Hamp-
shirefbe bought. intimidated and defraud-
ed. Even without the vote of Indiana.
which we believe will be redeemed ia
November, with New York. New Jersey
and the states that are conceded to US.
including Maine, the election of our can
didates is assured. The Republican party
have put in nomination for President and
Vice President two men who by the ad-
mission of their own party and press, are
unworthy of your confidence and your
suffrages. 1t is impossible that $4,000
900 of intelligent and patriotic people will
consent to place themselves upon the
humiliating level thus prepared for them
by the Republican managers. Fellow |
citizens, the first days. of the repuise |
at Gettysburg ended on the third with
Hancock in front in glorious
victory. That victory secured US
our Union. The question is not
now the preservation of the Union, but of
constitutional government, Hancock is
now as then, in front. The repulse is now
as then, an omen of victory. which will
secure to the coming generations the
inestimable blessings of civil liberty. By
order of Democratic National Committee.
w. Ii. BARNUM. Chairman.

nu.ine.s Activity at the West.

The Chicsgo Tine, speaks Of the busi-
ness activity there as something wholly
phenomenal, and so 1t is, il the following
can be relied upon: During the past two
weeks there has come upon our merchants
a regular dsluge Of orders. Every couu-
try merchant has suddenly made the dis.
coyery that he is unprepared TO meet the
demands Of regular old.fashioned winter
season, and the haste with which he is
seeking to make amends has resulted in
an overflow OF orders. A very remarkable
business BOOM, quite out Of the regular
season, has during the past month fallen
to the lot Of our merchants, and the ae-
tivity now displaying is almost equal-in
some lines 1t far exceeds-tte recognized
busy seasons OF the year."

Wehave recently quoted extracts from
editorials in the Gresnbrier Iadspendent
and Huntington Aduersiser, two prorounc.
ed Bourbon papers, advising the Solid
south land West virgiuians as q part Of it)
to adopt the plan OF commercial non.inter-
course with tue North. These two Bour.
bon papers stand alone in the West Viz.
ginia Democratic press, so far as we have
noticed, in the advocacy Of this pititul and
puny policy. The Democratic papers
generally OF the State have nothing to say
on the subject, either by way Of approval
or dissent, but we will do most OF them
the credit OF believing that they regard
the suggestions OF the papers named IS
really unworthy otattention. The Charles.
ton Ga:siie, which is altogether the ablest
Democratic paperin the Eauawha Valley,
snakes the following Censible comments
ON the subject;
,ghsu it ID remembered that there are
more Democrats in the North than there
are in tho South, the unwiseness OF such
advice readily appears. Besides, the log
ic Of the Soulh'5 position would be, were
she 10 carry out the suggestion indicated,
that enough Northern Republicans must
Yiva up their political convictions and
vote llIe Democratic ticket to carry . sut.
ticisut number OF States in their section 70
per,ni: the Southern vote to succeed in q
National contest, before the Southern
trade could ba obtained. And II the
South should starto out on a crusade of Ven-
yeance rgatuss the North for the rea.
s1a that the Northern Republican tries
10 carry hil State and succeeds, would
not the application Of the same logic re-
qure the Southern Democrat 70 turn the
cold shoulder to the Southern Republican,
because he tries TO carry his State even
though he do not succeed? And when
these little moves were put in motion
against the North and the RePub-
licans OF the South, what sort
Of a country should We haveI Hay'
ing SlienGied our Northern Demo-
cratic allies, leaving Us absolutely no polti'
cal support in that section, when do you
suppose we ever should win National
election? Itmay be urged that we are not
going to win one in hurry as It is, but II
certainly cannot be denied that We have .
chance now, or hall chance now, and
