GANG OF NEGROES AIMED WITH RAzoRs
AND RIFLES ASSAULT A DEMOCRATIC
PROCESSION IN WILMINGTON.
On last Saturday night an unprovok.
ed and dastardly attack was made upon
Democratic parade in the city of Viii
mington, Delaware, 10y a gang OF several
hundred negroes, which resulted in a
serious riot in which firearms and razors
were freely and effectively used. The
attack was deliberately plotted, as is
shown by the threats Of the negroes
early in the evening and by the fact
that nearly all Of the assaulting party
were armed with pistols and guns and
were massed at one OF the most dimly
lighted points along the route of the
parade. The procession was very large

one exception being in line. 1t had
nearly completed its route and was
marching in splendid fern past Ma.

TO resent the insult, but the parade

HARRISBURG, October is, lSS0.-B. =.
Movers, Esq.-DEAR SIR: Yours of lGth
inst. is received. You are right in your
inference that ] do not think business
interests will be in any way impdrilled
by the election OF General Hancock.
The efforts TO create a panic in business
circles are mainly based upon alleged
danger to industrial interests depend
ent more or less upon the tariff.
Now if the presidential election has
any bearing at all upon the question,
infinitely prefer Hancock, born and
bred in the valley of the Schuylkill
amid mines and furnaces in com.
munity where all parties are unit on
the tariff question-and whose only
published utterances on the subject
should be entirely satisfactory to the
Pennsylvanians, to Garfield member
of that famous free trade club, "The
Golden :" whose tariff record was so
odious to Pennsylvania republican
members of Congress that they bolted
his nomination in caucus for speaker
of the House and who is supported as
champion of revenue reform by the
great free trade orgsns of New York
and Chicago. But we are referred TO
party platlorms-they are only traps
"set to catch gudgeons !" they are only
framed to be misunderstood. When
has the dominant party regarded them
in legislation For example | may
here refer TO a highly polished plank
that has served in more than one Re.
publican national PLATFORM mean
that of "Civil Service Reform" 80 much
preached and so little practised by the
party. But the real power of regulat.
ing the tariff devolves upon Congress.
The present Congress is Democratic in
both branches and why has not the
threatened ruin already paralyzed our
industries7 Ii the country can survive
and thrive under Democratic Congress
for two years why not longerf A presi'
dental veto has no power TO prevent
the passage of any measure through
Congress and we have right TO suppose
that il the Democratic party as such
united upon any modification OF the
tariff they would have adopted one.
But the fact Is II Is generally conceded
except for campaign purposes--thal

AN ADDRESS TO THE DEMOCRATIC AND CON-
SENTATIVE VOTERS OF THE COUNTRY.
New YORK, October l4.-At meeting
of the Democratic national committee
to-day the following address was
adopted:
TO the Democratic and conservative voters
Of the country: The election of Presl.
dent and Vice President is now before
you. State and local dissensions are
eliminated from the issues of the day.
The magnitude of victory or defeat
can only be estimated by the force 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 Pres.
ident 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 Federal government
represented by the United States mar.
shals at the polls, with intimidation,
fraud and resort to every corrupt
appliance known to Republican meth
DDS concentrated in the two states our
adversaries have succeeded in procuring
the probable return of their local can.
didates. 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 York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, California, Colo
RADIO, Nevada and New Hampshire, be
bought, intimidated and defrauded
Even without the vote of Indiana,
which | believe will be redeemed in
November with New York and New
Jersey, and these States are conceded
to US, including Maine, the election of
our candidate is assured. The Repub.
lican party have put in nomination for
President and Vice President, two men
who by the admission of their own
party and press are unworthy OF your
confidence and suffrages. 1t is impos.
sible that fifty millions 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 repulse
at Gettysburg ended on the third, with
Hancock in the front, in a glorious vic.
tory. That victory secured US our
Union. The question is not now the
preservation of the Union, but of Con.
stitutional Government. Hancock is
now, as then, in the front. The re-
pulse is now, as then, the omen of a
victory which is to secure the coming
generations with inestirnable blessings
of civil liberty.
By order of the Democratic national
committee. WILLIAM II. BARSUN.

"a Sad Sigh. To Behold"

Some four weeks since n man, or rat

Sixth avenue. New York, completely
exhausted, just riding from Fourteenth
street, near Ninth avenue. He took
n chair, and after regaining sufficient
strength, informed Mr.. c. that he had
been given up by his physicians to die,
from what they termed to be a severe
ease OF Consumpton-one lung being
entirely gone, and the other more or
less affected. He says, ''Mr Crittenton

me relief?" 1 gravely informed him tina.
1t was a very bad case, and which /
was afraid had run too long; but advised
him to try n bottle, as It certainly
could do him no harm, and see the effect;
explaining, at the same time, that
HONEY AND HOREHOUND soothed and
scattered all ~irritations and infamma-
tions, and the TAR Balm cleansed and
cleared the threat and air passages
leading to the lungs, and that the adj
ditional ingredients kept the organs
cool. moist and IN healthy action. He
took my advice, bought n bottle and
went away. On Saturday he again
came into the store, with a light slept
and smiling c~ountenance: stated that
he used the first bottle, and found so
much relief that he felt encouraged,
and ut different times since. He sent
for seven more bottles, which he had
used, and believed himself permanently
cured; said he should recommend It to
all Of his friends and acquaintance,
which, as he said, were many, US he was
q man Of wealth and influence. The
price Of HALE's HONEY OF HoRE.
