Wouldn't Como to Time.

Elk Candidate Grtest's Inquirer.
The Examiner suggests that it would he
better to have regular system of taxing
ofice-hOlders yearly for the necessary
campaign funds, than to collect all from
candidates the year of their election.
Perhaps SO, but our neighbor would find
it very often little inconvcnient to collect
and then there would be no means of EN-
forcing the request. AS an illustration.
We understand the collector of internal
revenue Of this district, whose annual
compensation amounts to about "a, 300, and
who has his son about II years of age,
drawing a clerks salary from the govern
ment Of $50 per month, was taxed last year
by the Republican state committee to the
amount of $50, but very kindly declined to
pay cent of it. So we are of the opinion
that tho method suggested by our neigh
Dor would not work.

One of our most valuable exchanges, the
Lancaster INTELLIGENCER, comes to us
this week double it's former size. and is
now ono of the largest, as it was before,
one of the best papers in the United States.
1t is published at Lancaster. Pa, and is
clock full of interesting reading matter,
and is hitting as many and terrible blows
for Hancock and English as any other
journal now battling for right. 1t was our
pleasure, some years ago, in the noun
tains of Virginia, to become acquainted
with one of the editors of this paper, Mr..
Steinman, and he is just our idea Of an
educated, social, pleasant gentleman, who
is always sure to make you glad and sorry
glad to meet him and sorry to part.

COMRADEs.--The debauchery of the
party with which VIC have affiliated for the
past twenty years, has become SO manifest
to all good and true soldiers, without re-
gard to party to such an extent have the
office holders trampled upon the rights of
the people; the stencil of impurity which
pervadcs all departments of the national,
state and city government, that 4 change
in the administration of affairs is demanded
and must be had to clean these Augean
stables of the filth that has surrounded
them. The cry Of halt must be needed.
Ilcn who were contractors men who were
the ll;tngers-on of the army men who did
nothing but make money, while We were
fighting for the perpetuity of the Union,
arc the men who, to day, rs in days of the
war, arc holding the honors and emolu-
ments Of office.
This should bc stopped. 1t is cur rights
that arc trampled upon. and it is the priv
ilcsc Of the soldiers and sailors Of the late
war to stand by their cOlOrs rs in days of
yOrc, aud compel these cormOrants at the
public crib to cease feasting off the carcass
of the nation, and endeavor to bring about
Il healthy condition of affairs.
There arc thousands of soldiers and sea-
men who believe as we believe; whose
rights have been sapped away, and who
stand to-day us they never stood before, in
dread OF the Oflicc-hOlder and his master.
TO these men, comrades ill-arms of the
past. we say come with us. Too long has
the ''bloody shirt" been tho cry of politi-
clan and place hunter. Too long have
these men been permitted to use tho fair
fame won on the battlefield by the soldier,
to foist themselves into power. Too long
have VIC been passive spectators of men
winning honor and rcnOwn, which should
belong to us. Tho time has come to
HALT!
Commence the cleaning out Of the poll
ticians that have ruled us, by voting for
the man who has ever been known among
us Republicans rs true patriot and hon
est man, and 4 superb soldier, Winfield S.
Hancock.
Send your name and address to these
headquarters without delay.
BY order of the club.

ElOOuent Figures,

1t is very remarkable showing that
five Democratic states of what the Repub-
licans SO scornfully and bitterly call the
solid South and which can contribute only
43 electoral votes to the election of a Dem
Ocratic president, sent more Union troops
to the front than did some thirteen
Northern states which must give their
whole G6 electoral votes to any Rcpubli-
can nominee who hopes to he elected.
Strange as it may appear the Democratic
state of Missouri sent more troops to the
war to fight for restoration of the
Union than did the Republican states of
New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Is.
land, Minnesota, Kansas, California
Colorado, Nebraska, Oregon and Nc.
vada, though they have II Republican
electoral votes to Missouri's Is Demo-
cratic electors.
No less remarkable is the fact that of
the four million Democratic voters in
this country scarcely a million are lodged
in the states which We're in rebellion and
over three millions are in the states
which remained to put down the rebel
lion. In the great belt of central states
stretching from Connecticut to the Mis-
sissippi river, with half the population
of the country, the backbone of its bust
ness interest, Democratic voters are i'm a
majority. Year after year in this section
the Democrats have increased their vote
until the gap is entirely covered and the
opposition is behind. These figures have
an eloqucnce that outsle;,ks stump ora
tors. They settle and silence the clamor
about the solid South. They prove that
the capital us well us the laber, the brain
and sinew, the hope and confidence of
the country, the interests of all sections,
are with the Democratic party.

MONDAY EVENING. SEPT. 8, 1880.
An OId.Tfme Republican.


One of the ablest and purest and, in all
respects, best men that the Republican
party Of this country has had in its ranks
and lost from them is Lyman Trumbull,
of Illinois. Like Greeley and Seward
and Chase and Sumner, he was one of its
patriarchs, and like them he gave voice to
the indignantprotests of thousands of its
members against its degradation by un-
principled thieves and me-serving politi.
clans. He left it because he considered
it hopelessly corrupt, and he embraced
Democracy, not because of any past SYM.
pathy with it, but because he saw only in
the triumph of its organization any hope
for the country. Slander and malice
have invented no apology for his course
that reflects upon his integrity or his pa
triotism, nor even upon his good temper.
He is conceded to be pure and upright
man. What he says should have weight
with his old party friends and that his
example is moving some of them, may be
inferred from the altogether hopeful
contest making by the Democracy of Iii.
nOis with Trumbull at the head of theil
ticket.
Mr.. Trumbull i'm a recent speech re-
minds his old party friends that without
Democratic soldiers no war would have
been successfully carried OH against tht
South without Democratic votes tht
thirteenth constitutional amendment
would not have been passed; that the
Democracy alone to-day arc truly ma
tional party. and that their candidates
have the Jcffersonian qualities for Office
Mr.. Trumbull speaks from the head ;.nt
the heart. He is with us by the excrcis
of his judgment no less than by tin
promptings of his feelings. The logic o
events cOmpcls him us we'll as th
promptings Of his patriotism. Wher'
they lead it is not likely that men lik
him will fear to follow because of Logan
and Cameron, and Cessna and that kind
who, when Trumbull was fighting tn
battles of freedom, were knotting viii
crackers for the slave-driver's lash.

IT was supposed to be Carl Schnrz who
"put in" Mr.. Hayes's letter Of accep-
tance that "public officers shtuld give
their whole time to the government and
the people, With Hayes and Evarts
and Schurz and Sherman and Devens and
Thompson all away from duty, and most
of them on the stump, it is no wonder
that foreign ministers feel encouraged to
disregard MI. Hayes's talk, and to come
home to look after their chances of . stay
