Asto censns Enumeration.

To the EDITOR Of tie Herald:
VIII you please let us know by what rules
the census takers are guided If they are
required to visit each house and get the
names o. each person living taerein' they
have not done SO by good deal. II they
have finished their labors as seems from their
notice for people to call on them at their
office, they have missed as many as hey
have found. If they are through, two
thousand people can b found who have not
been enumerated.
If the census takers will in the next Ten
days work over their territory they will b,
surprised to find how many hay been "leit
out in the cold"
II is is nm important matter and should bt
we'll looked after by the city. Let us by al
means have thorough enumeration. We
think the citizens and onumerstors boil
should take every precsuton TO get ii correc

Republicans and Workingmen.
Why should workingmen adhere to the
Democratic party? What is there Democratic
about that party except its name? The people
constituting its leading, dominant and all
powerful element, the solid Democratic South
were educated to look upon laboring man as
one whom they had right to buy and sell if
he were black, and to spit upon if he were
white. The workingmen of the North were
and are in their estimation and language,
"mudsills."
1t is the planters, the Generals, the bankers
and the wealthy and the aristocratic generally
that are called to fill the places of honor and
power in that party. The "plain people" are
little considered except a.ittle before election.
The choice of standard bearers made by the
two parties this year is eminently characteris-
tic. The Republican candidate is one who
rose by his own efforts, industry, and ability to
be one OF the leading statesmen of the land.
The Democrats, true to their nature, selected
lifelong soldier, with all the aristocratic ten
dencies characteristic of that profession.
Inc Republ1can party is the progressive par
" OF the nation. Its progress has been con-
slant and always in the direction of alleviatiug
the condition of workingmen. By the home
stead law the public lands are distributed
among those who choose to settle upon them
Under its operations any laboring man is en-
abled to become landowner for q nominal
sum, and on terms only imposed to secure the
Government against speculating and tickle ap-
plicants, IT was Republican measure for the

GEN. STEWART L. WooDFoRD made
stirring speech to the veterans of Erie coun-
ty at Buffalo Saturday night His last words
were very eloquent comparison of the Ohio
and Indiana elections and their results with
the effects OF storm in the Alps. He was
caught once and impriso ed for three days
in little hut far up in the mountains of
Switzerland. The third day the guide called
him and showed him the mists breaking and
the great curtain lifting $780," he said
1.-THE storm of popular excitement has swept
the States of Ohio and Indiana. The mists
and fogs have run so dense that earnest men
the broad land over held their breath and
waited. No man dared to venture prophecy no
man could look into the thick uncertainty.
But when the election had passed and the
returns began to come in, seemed to stand
again on that well-remembered Alpine pass,
Montigny and Chamouni. Up the mists
have risen. and I see the Mont Blanc of the
Solid North rising calm, serene, and maies-
tic, white with the free ballots Of a
free people, and radiant with the
assured sunlight of contentment, peace and
prosperity. As then 1 looked to the south.
so now again look, and under this sunlight
see that South, as in prophetic vision,
peaceful and beautiful, better for the clear
ing, and yet to be one with us in common
and assured prosperity.

beneht exclusively of those whose sole capita |
was their energy and pluck.
Ihere could have been, perhaps, no greater
boon conferred on the workingmen of the
country than was given by the abolition of
American slavery. There was nothing more
surely calculated to degrade labor and labor
ing men than slavery. 1t was the so-called
Democratic party which upheld, justified and
defended it and finally sought to destroy the
Union, because they could not carry it, with.
out any restriction, into the Territories For
the abolition of slavery and the securing to
every man the fruits of his own labor the Re-
publican party has claim upon the gratitude,
not only of the poor freedmen, but of every
workingman in the country
The protective policy of the Republican par
ty is in the immediate interest of workingmen.
Its effect is to increase the wages paid to every
class OF laboring men in this country. The
free-trade policy which the Democrats wish to
enforce would expose our workingmen to
disastrous competition with the underpaid and
underfed labor of Europe The entire legisla-
ton OF the Republican party, where it acts on
classes at all, is in the direction of benefting
the condition of the workingmen. 1t is through
labor steadily and intelligently applied that
our country has advanced to its present high
condition. The Republican party has never
failed to recognize this. and to that party the
whole support OF the working element should
be given.
The Portland daily press., 1880-11-02
To Work.

The issues are before the people. They
have been thoroughly discussed. There is
no longer use nor time for argument. There
is barely time for appeal. The word to-day
is action.
All that remains for Republicans to do is
to see that every Republican voter is brought
to the ballot-box and his vote deposited.
Until that is done our duty remains unper-
formed. Let us then give this day to work,
to work for the Party of Liberty, for our
glorious candidates, for the protection and
elevation and enrichment of American la
Dor, for the advancement of the comfort and
ease and prosperity of the laborer upon
which the rest the welfare of the State and
National honor and power.
Our interests, the comfort of our families,
our chances for attaining competence and
giving our children a good start in life, are
in question to-day. These all depend upon
tne maintenance OF the great industrial syS-
tenn quick brains and hardy hands have
built up in this country by years of inge-
nuity and toll To the preservation of this
system the Republican party is committed;
to its destruction the Democratic. Between
these parties you are called to choose You
cannot hesitate in your choice. But to give
that choice effect you must vote, and every
vote added to yours aids the effect. So let
your struggle be to get to the polls every
Garfield man and every man who sees
wherein the true interests Of labor lie. Only
by your indifference or carelessness, or indo-
lence, can the battle be lost. The electoral
vote of Maine may be necessary for the sue
cess of the Republican party. See that it is
cast right.

GARFIELD ON THE TARIFF.

.sLet it be remembered that
twenty-five per cent. of all the Ia
boring people of the country are
artisans engaged in manufac-
lures. Their culture has been
fOstered by OUR tariff laws. 1t is
their pursuits, and the skill which
they have developed, that pro.
duced the glory, Of our Cenetnnial
Exhibition. To them the country
owes the splendOr of the position
it holds before the. world more
than to any other equal number
of our citizens. If this bill,

comes a law, it strikes down their
occupation, and throws into the
keenest distress the brightest and
best elements Of our population.

init us to be thrown into greater
confusion, either by letting this
bill become a law, or by letting it
hang over the country as a men,
