TnERR seems to be agreat deal OF un-
certainty in the minds Of Northern Demo-
cratic editors how to treat the Alabama
election. Those who have doubt about
the genuineness OF the majority, says the
New York Tribune, and think it will not
be best for the party to make the matter
too prominent, tuck the news away in the
lower corner OF their paper, as The World
did the other day. Some are not so dis.
Greet, however, and let their enthusiasm
bubble over. One editor thinks the ma.
jority too small, and says 1t should have
been lOO, 900, in order to have given the
Hancock boom suitable start Another
one announced the news by putting a
rooster at the head Of the columns of his
paper, and then, under suspicion that
tho majority might be too unanimous to
impress the Northern mind iavorably,
fastened to take 1t in. Perhaps 1t would
be well before another election is held in
a Southern State for the bulldozers and
ballot.box suffers to learn from their
Northern allies what would be suitable
majority, and then they can govern them.
selves accordingly.

POLITICAL NOTES.

SPECIE payments were resumed ayeaI
aud a half ago, and the people are not
taking money or Presidential candidates
on credit any longer.
Iris suggested that Dan DouSherty was
using figures OF rhetoric rather than arith-
metic when he predicted 10000 majority
for Hancock in Pennsylvania.
A DRuocRArc paper tries to be iacetious
over the Republican conference held in
New York last week, and calls it a "Radi-
cal wake" Well, yes, 1t was something
Of wake, but the Democracy furnished
the corpse.
"wr'vr put a fighter at the head Of our
ticket" said an otficious Democrat, who
stood on the outer fringe of the crowd at
the serenade to General Garfield Friday
evening. eyes," instantly replied Re-
publican, "he did fight your party pretty
we'll during the Rebellion, There is no
donbt about that" Result: A demoralized
Democrat Fastening to find more con-
genial companionship.
CONGRESSMAN De LA MATYR has been
interviewed as to his experience in Ala
hama. When asked whether the statement
was true that the negroes had worked and
voted with the Democrats, he replied:
"That is the report, but / do not believe
Il had splendid opportunities to know
the negro sentiment, and l am certain II
was ali against the Democracy: The col.
ored people are not Democrats" 1t doesn't
need a journey down South to learn that;
The most ordinary common sense Will
make that fact clear TO any man.
IN commenting upon General Hancock't
letter OF acceptance the Charleston Is. O.,
Ne,r, (Dem.) comedies that the letter is moi
practical one in the sense that the Re
publican and Independent press would
apply that term, and argues as follows
"The Democracy do not appeal to the PEG
ple to elect their candidate because they
hold particular views concerning the TART
or the currency, public improvements, ma
tional banks or land grants, but because
Inc policy declared and praciced by thu
Republican party will insensibly chang
Inc whole structure OF our government.
In reply to this the Boston Herald (lnd.
saws: AT this is the ground to be taken
and the questions Of the hour are to b.
tossed aside for political theory, then TIT
Democratic party had better throw up th'
fight in advance"

blush.
The above are fair samples Of the way In
which the Democrats carried the state OF
Alabama; and over this infamous result Of
fraud and corruption Northern Democratic
papers are rejoicing. "a free election and
fair count" unblushingly and hypocritl'
cally sniyels the superb Hancock in his
letter Of acceptance! The election was
free enough. Having abolished all local
self.goyernmept in Republican districts
and filled up the Boards Of Registration
and Inspection with Democrats, they could
afford 10 allow Republicans TO vote with
out their usual method Of hindrance, such
as assault. threats, murder, and other forms
OF bulldozing which were practised in 1875,
It was not necessary to bully, buster, OF
bulldoze, or TO use knife, and pistol, and
lash, because they had more ettectual
remedy. So the eleclio was Tree 70
the few Republicans who wanted 70 go
through the mere empty farce Of voting,
and after the polls were closed the
Democrats got in their work, and the
"iair count commenced. 1t was q very
simple process. It merely required some
person to put his hand into the ballot'boxl
take out an indefinite quantity oil honest
votes, and dump in an indefinite quantity
Of dishonest ones. It was not only an
easy but safe process, because the count
ING and examining Of returns are in Demo
cratic hands, and the displacement aud
destruction Of votes could be easily con-
cealed. Even II 1t were done in plain
sight, instead OF obscuring the lights in TIT
room, no one would care to prosecute
fraud where the prosecutor would b.
driven out Of the State or killed and the
perpetrator could not be convicted.
There are the patriots who are writing
about Cancellation and who echo Hancock
hypocriical twaddle about "a free cleo
ton and a fair count"
II the superb" Hancock has any opin
ions Of his own which are not manqfac
tured for him it would be interesting Z

The araIr Count'' In Alabama.

Chicago Tribune.
The Democratic majority at the recent
election in Alabama shows fraud upon its
very face. Sweeping political changes
sometimes occur in States upon some State
question and in cities upon local issues,
but changes that wipe out one majority
entirely and pile up in its place majorities
almost equal to an entire vote cannot occur
without frauds OF the most glaring and
shamefaced description. In this election
these changes have mainly occurred in the
districts known to be overwhelmingly Re-
publican, that comprise the black belt.
The dimensions OF the general Democratic
majority, however, show that the frauds
we're as general as the election, and were
not confined to any particular section OF
the State. The majority for Gen. Grant
In Alabama in 1872 was 10,S2S. The Ala.
bama method Of bulldozing, murder, and
ostracism was then set in operation with
such good effect that in 1876 Mr.. Tilden re.
ceiyed a majority OF SS,779.
Since that time the South Carolina plan
OF fraud at the ballot box has been added
to the method, and now we have q ma.
jority Of 10000 in total vote that fell
considerably short Of 10000. An exami.
nation Of the vote 81 some OF the counties
will show how thistotal was manufactured.
Lowndes County has 1900 population,
three.iourths black. In 1872 It's total vote
was 1888; Republican majority, 1854; in
1915, total vote, 5,46l; Republican ma
lority, 3,SiS; In 1880 total vote not known,
because not counted, Democratic majority,
100! Autauga County, total vote, $500,
the blacks being nearly two.thirds OF the
population; Republican majority in 1879
OF 92S; in 1876 Of 772; in 1880, Democratic
majority, $50. Perry County, the blacks
outnumbering the whites more than two
to one, gave over 1000 Republican ma.
jority in 1872 and 1875, and now gives
400 Democratic majority Chiffon

TnR late heavy decline in the prices Of
iron preceded in point Of time the land
ing Of heavy consignments which had
been shipped to this country in anticipa-
ton OF higher market. The iron now
lies in store, very much OF it belonging TO
foreign owners who cannot accept the
prices ruling in the market without loss.
Two conclusions may be drawn from this
statement OF things-Ql that our iron
manufacturers are perfectly able to take
care Of themselves; (9) that as long as this
foreign iron remains piled in our ware
houses, waiting for market or for re'ex.
port, it furnishes splendid guarantee for
fair prices to iron consumers.

ALTHOUGH DR.. Tanner has completed
his fast he is still mystifying the medical
profession. Almost any physician alive
would have said that to eat solid food on
the first day after such fast would be
suicidal, yet DR.. Tanner has been dispos-
ing Of beeisteaks as industriously as II he
had no other thought in life, and taking
other food and drink in quantity sufficient
to ill six ordinary men during the same
length OF time. One thing at least seems
proved-there is no economy in fasting;
stomachs insist on making up for lost
time.

Mr.. Fellows Is daily in receipt Of let
tiers Of enquiry from various parts, re-
specting his Syrup Of Hypophosphites.
One recently received leads to the be-
lief that the public mistake his mean
ing In reference 10 its effect in imrart-
ing superior energy to the mind. Where
the intellect has been impaired by over
work or by kindred causes, the use OF
the Syrup, together with proper precau-
tons In the use of food, clothing, exer-
else and rest, will restore full powers to
the brain and nerves. Superiority OF
genius consists In great capacity Of
brain for assimiiating material from
every quarter, and Of developing in
proportion, but As far the greater num-
Der are not well endowed by nature,
consequently lacking the capacity, 1t
would be quite impossible to find crani-
nm space for material necessary to con-
stitute the brilliant genius. Hence,
although the Syrup will assist in restor-
ing the mind, which is lost, It cannot
change n natural born idiot into an in
telligent man.
