Garfiela's Vote I'm the North.

| New YORK, November 9th-The Tribune
says: OF all the Northern States, three
| are claimed to have voted for Hancock. The
| State of Camden and Amboy by plurality
| of about one thousand, the State of Bonanza
Kings by majority of about five hundred,
and California. if at all, by majority so
small that a microscopic examination is
needed to detect it. Beyond these, no North
ern State is by anybody supposed to have
voted for the Democratic ticket; and New
Jersey was returned by railroad company,
Nevada by millionaire, and California by a
forgery so palpable that it would not have de-
ceived the most stupid Celestial in China
town. Garfield goes into the Presidency with
a clear majority of the popular vote. although
sixteen States were counted ard three more
stolen by his opponents.

Proposition to Make GarfeId's
EIccfiOu Tnauimaus

CHICAGO, November 9th.-1he Times In.
dianapolis special says: The story telegraphed
from Washington that leading Democrats of
the South were considering the advisability
of having Garfeld's election made as nearly
unanimous as the vote of their States will
aid in it, has received some confirmation in
conversation between members of the State
Central Committee and the Times corre-
spondent. Said a committee AFTER
the October elections, when it became ap-
parent that Hancock could not be elected,
some of the wiser men in the party, who
foresaw trouble to the Democracy in having
its strength lie In solid South, agitated a
scheme by which the Electoral votes of sew
eral Southern States could be secured for
Garfield, so that the party might be 10 good
= tape, or at least have some sort of show in
another contest; but the Bourbon element
stepped on it, as was done to every other
sensible provision of the campaign,
and the fight went on under the same
old conditions. It was great mistake, /
think, the GROWING one of long series of
stupendous blunders, beginning with the
nomination OF Hancock. That was of itself
confession OF weakness and an admission
that We had nothing of our own to make
race on, and we deserved to be beaten.
What the party ought to have done. which
was due to itself and due to him, was TO re-
nominate Tilden. Rejecting hin was not
only stupendous folly, but the basest politi-
cal ingratitude Of the age, so monstrous as
to amount to absolute crime. With the solid
South destroyed. the most effective campaign
material of the Republican party will be cap
tured from them, and the Democracy be in

Mr.. ENGLISH, the democratic candi-
date for vice-president, has a very un-
savory record in many respects. He sub
scribed 81 when asked for donation for
the Chicago fire fund. Ninety-nine
cents of this amount was afterwards
made up to him by penny subscriptions
from ninety-nine appreciative Californi-
ans. This cut down this dollar subscrip-
ton to one cent But this does not show
the full measure of Mr. English's none
tary transactions. In three gears he
foreclosed eight hundred mortgages.
Most of his victims were poor men upon
whom the hard times came unexpectedly,
and they could do no otherwise than see
their little homes pass out of their hands
into the possession of Mr.. English. He
never showed them the least leniency
but always exacted the pound of flesh.

WHY THE SOUTH rs SOLID FOR
HANCOCK.

Consider what Lee and Jackson would do were
they alive. THESE ARE THE SAME PRINCI-
PIES FOR WHICH THEY FOUGHT FOR FOUR
YEARS. Remember the men who poured forth
their life blood on Virgnia's soil, and do not
abandon them now Remember that upon your
vote depends the success of the democratic tick

Juiy &c.
This is only one of several gems to be
found in senator Hampton's speech on
the occasion above alluded to, in which
he made stirring appeal to his demo-
cratic hearers to adjust their differences
and stop quarreling Senator Hampton
ought to know what he is talking about,
for he fought on the same side with Lee
and Jackson, and was also one of the
leaders of the Cincinnati convention that
nominated the democratic party's candi-

CENSUS FRAUDS.

The reason is now apparent why the
senate refused to confirm the presidents
first appointments of census supervisors
in the south, and why that body insisted
upon the selection of none but democrats
for that position. 1t was charged at the
time that the intention was to make a
fraudulent count in the south, and to
show that this has been done is apparent
by the following figures In Arkansas,
the increase in population the last 10
years, according to the returns, has been
"A per cent; in Florida 60 per cent; in
Kentucky 81 per cent; in Louisiana Il
per cent; in Missouri 3S per cent; in
North Carolina 80 per cent; in Texas
50 per cent; in Virginia 80 per cent,
and West Virginia 60 per cent. In none
of these states, excepting Florida and
Texas has there been any immigration to
speak of. Now compare these figures
with some of the northern states where
everyone knows the bOnatlde increase has
been far greater than in the south, and
mark the difference IL Illinois the per
centage of increase is % in Indiana 10;
in Iowa SO in Massachusetts %; in
New York Is ; in Ohio 20, and in Wis
consin IA The object to be attained by
the south, and the one it had solely in
view, is to maintain its present numeri-
cal strength in congress, and this it will
do by means of the frauds which have
been practiced Between bogus census,
tissue ballots, and the Alabama plan of
carrying elections, the south proposes to
rule the country, and will do so unless
the north shall open its eyes to all these
enormities and put stop to them.

HO W THEY DO IT.

Many people in the north, honestly
no doubt, wonder how it is that the
democratic party in the south is so strong
and manages to maintain it's ascendancy
They do not seem to understand tho
spirit that is manifested by the demo
cratic leaders there, nor to appreciate the
difficulties which surround party acting
in opposition thereto. 1t is easy enough
to see through it all, however, if the
practices of the democracy there. are cor
rectly understood. In the first place a
perfect reign Of terror exists in most OF
the southern states, and it is worth a
mans life almost to avow himself re-
publican, or become republican candi-
date for office Take, for instance, the
following from The Memphis Avalanche,
the leading democratic paper in Tennes-
see
eve must have but one party, and that the
democratic party WHITE MEN WHO DARE
TO AVON THEMSELVES HERE AS REPUB-
LICANS SHOULD BE PROMPTLY BRANDED
as the bitter and malignant enemies ofthe south.
The name of every northern man who presumes
in this community to aspire to office upon repub-
lican votes should be saturated with stencil. We
can spare all such, and would caution them to
be careful to keep away. WE MUST PUT AN
END FOREVER TO THIS SHAMELESS Eff
FRONTERY OF NORTHERN MEN AND RE-
PCBLICANS ASPIRING TO OFFICE IN THE
SOUTH. They must keep back seats, and very
quiet ones, or get out"
Now this is but single specimen, and
is withal a fair one, of the means and
arguments employed to keep down all
organizations opposed to the democracy,
no matter whether Greenback, Independ-
ent or Republican. But where these
methods do not prevail, and a party has
the temerity to antagonize the democra-
cy, the latter find an easy way to victory,
as in Alabama the other day, by stuffing
ballot boxes, and counting in their can
didates, though they received the small
est number of votes. By these means
the south is to be made "solid for Han
cock" and the welfare of the country
imperiled by the striking down of the
purity of elections, and denying to every
citizen his right to vote as he pleases.
1t devolves upon solid north to meet
the issue thus presented, and to avert
the threatened calamity we have pointed

POLITICAL POINTS.

The men who are now behind Han
cock were in front of him in 1864.
The Boston Courier classes David Dav-
is as the most powerful pillar in the
democracy.
The Cincinnati Gazette has observed
that the assassins of Georgia are not af-
flicted with color-blindness.
The north must be solid for selfpres-
ervation. That is the sum total of the
whole issue.-Elmira advertiser.
The Memphis Avalanche calls upon it's
friends to support the democratic ticket
because the democratic party is distinct
lively southern party.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Mem
phis Appeal, seems to have joined with
Wade Hampton in furnishing campaign
material to the northumberland
Constitution.
Hancock is one of those yankee Saw
ages that southern women used to greet

noses Brooklyn argus.

The use of tissue ballots in the south
has been explained. IF they had been
of ordinary paper in Alabama the demo
Gratis could not have secured enough
boxes to hold the vote-Philadelphia
Bulletin.
The bayonet may not be good instru-
ment with which to collect the votes of
freemen, but it is capital invention to
protect freemen in rights to vote. And
that is what the democrats object to-
Elmira Advertiser.
1t is wonderful, says The Albany Jour
nal, how most of the democratic papers
have left off slandering Garfelds char
acter. That sort of thing lost the demo
Gratis great many votes, but they dis
covered it too late.
Interesting problem for the country to
reflect upon. If single democratic
party in Alabama can roll up more votes
than the state has population, what will
Georgia be able to do now that she has
two ?-Philodelphia Bulletin.
Wade Hampton is the most honest
and frank of all the conspirators of the
"solid SOUTH" He boldly proclaims the
fact that it now contends for that for
which Lee and Jackson fought for four
years. That is what the leaders of the
democracy call Cancellation! 1t is OF

General Hancock, when a boy, was
asked by lady if he studied hard al
school. He said 81 do not hurt my
self at it." "Oh," said the lady, "you
must study hard or you will never be
president of the United States" No,
madam p cried the boy, "but | don't ex-
pect to be Pm democrat" -Harper' S
Weehly, Noc. 80, IL.
The solid south is the recognized south
ern confederacy. Slavery has disappear
ed. In its place are claims for damages
done during the war and demand for
the expenditure of the money of the ma
ton in local jobs. We have the same old
pretensions on the part of the south poll
ticians, that they are by divine right the
rulers of this country. Cincinnati Com
mercial.
A gentleman recently returned from
the south, writes us. "Hhe worst thing
that could befall the south would be a
democratic administration. They want,
for their own good, strong and honest
republican administration. They are
learning how to take care of themselves,
but they are in no condition to rule this
country, as they certainly would if Han
cock is elected. "-NeU York .Commer
ciGl.
Very likely, if Hancock succeeded,
there would be Changes" But no man
of intelligence, who reflects upon the con-
trasted careers of the two parties, can
really feel that the changes would be
for the better in any salient particular.
On the contrary, there is every reason to
expect that his administration would be
neither as patriotic as Lincoln's nor as
prudent as Grants, nor as pure as Hayes's.

WHAT is THERE about Gen. Hancock
TO commend him as a candidate for the
presidency The most that can be said
for him is that he is a trained military
naan, brave soldier, successful sub
ordinate officer, and-there his record OF
experience ends. The only time ne ever
had opportunity to signalize his capacity
for civil government was at New Orleans,
where he disregarded the laws of con-
gress and precipitated the country into
sea of troubles. His so called civil
policy was repudiated by the people at
the polls in 1868 and ever since, and
there is no possible reason why that YER
dict should now be reversed and the Han
cock policy adopted.

THE HARMONIOUS DEMOCRA


A careful reader of The Democrat last
week could not have failed to notice sew
eral manifestations of uneasiness and
discomfort in that quarter, owing to the
by it, which is now going on for the pro-
spective loaves and fishes Between the
federal positions which will fall to the
democrats in case of Hancock's election,
and the desire for places on the county
ticket, the war is raging hot between
contending persons and factions each
intent on disemboweling the other or
perishing in the attempt. To add to the
excitement which was strong enough
otherwise, w. H. Porter has thrown in
bombshell from Jefferson, through an
open letter in which, while bidding him
self for the nomination for district attor-
ney, he gives a side-winder to sundry
ambitious and scheming politicians who
have been for long time engaged in
"setting up the pins in their own be-
half, characterizing their efforts as not
only an exhibition of egotism that is
wonderful, but savors strongly of what
will pass for excessive cheek" Turning
moralist for the time being, he thus phi
losophizes
I believe that the time is not far distant when
this scramble for official positions must cease
and we return to original principles, or.our civil
government viii be imperiled through the Chi
canery Of party bosses and place hunters. II is
prolific in rings and is against the interest Of
party, the country and antagonistc to good
government. No man has right to suboldin
ate the interests of the party to which he belongs
to his own personal advancement, in order to
elevate himself to some official position No
man can be a self made candidate, and work
from six months to year in fixing things for his
nomination, without weakening the party from
which he asks the nomination. He receives the
nomination at the hands of convention, that
has apparently met to represent the people, and
yet are pledged to a particular candidate, either
directly or tacitly. And delegates in the interest
of these self-made candidates, must subordinate
the interest of the party to that of their candi-
date.
The numerous candidates for senator,
sheriff, register of deeds, &C., who have
done little else for months than manipu-
late men and things in their interest,
will be entertained by Mr.. Porter's COM
ments upon their action. But we can
tell Mr.. P. that if he expects to run the
gauntlet of democratic convention, as
candidate, without first having seen
and " fixed the boys" he is doomed to
disappointment He has much to learn
yet in politics if he supposes democratic
conventions are run upon the heightened
and elevated plan he outlines. But as
this is not our funeral, it is unbecoming
in us to interfere with the vested rights
of mourners. We leave it to them to
conduct the exercises as they may see fit,
though we can do no less than prefer
them our heartfelt sympathy and condol.
ence in their trying Affections and trou.
