A Man of Sense.

The Hon. Myron FL. Clark has been for
many years one of the foremost of American
Prohibitionists. This letter from him carries
its own explanations:
CANANDAIGUA, N. Y, Aug 10, 1880.
To Hon. James Black, Treasurer National
Prohibition Committee:
DEAR SIR-I have received your letter solic-
iting my subscription to aid the election of
Hon. Neal Dow as President of the United
States MIR. Dow is a gentleman whose prin-
ciples upon the liquor prohibition question L
admire and approve. | would be glad to aid
him in any practical way which would enable
him to promote that cause.
But in the approaching Presidential election
shall give my aid, influence and vote for
Hon. James A. Garfield, the candidate of the
Republican national party for that office.
Viewing the question in practical light we
all know that either the Republican or the
Democratic candidate for that office will be
elected. And should greatly deplore the
election of the candidate of the Southern rebel
brigadiers and their allies, the Northern cop
perheads, under the name of the Democratic
national party. l consider the political situa-
ton OF our nation at this time as extremely
precarious and alarming, as much so as at any
time when we were fighting for our national
existence and preservation against the organ
lied Southern rebellion..and confederacy
We must first secure and make sure free
country, free ballot, and an honest count of
the same, without the Southern prac-
tice of shotguns at elections, before we could
succeed as a prohibition party in national
election. And to do that we must now elect
the Republican party's candidate, and thereby
defeat the candidate of the ex-rebel "solid
South" the coppe1head north, and the whisky
party now combined under the name of the
national Democratic party 1 think it would be
wise for all the friends of Mr.. Dow to vote as
shall.
. Very respectfully your obedient servant
MYRoN III. CLARK,

No Money for Union Soldiers.
Neglect of the Democratic Congress to
Make an Appropriation to Pay Boun-
ties and Back Pay Claims.

Notwithstanding the publicity which has
been given to the history of the attempts made
by the Administration early last winter to get
Congress to make provision in advance for the
payment of bounty and back pay claims of
soldiers as fast as they are settled by the Sec
ond Auditor, and of the persistent refusal Of
Congress to do anything of the kind, claimants
are writing every day for the money which
has been so long due them, and disposition
is manifested to make party capital for the
Democrats out of the inability of the Treasury
to pay the claims in advance of the appropria-
tions.
The fact is, there never was a clearer case
of responsibility made against any party than
that of the Democracy for their failure to
adopt the recommendations of the Secretary
of the Treasury in this matter. The claimants
are ex-Union soldiers or their heirs, who for
one reason or another failed to receive their
full pay and bounty at the time Of their dis
charge. There is now due to these claimants
small sums aggregatlng about S150,000, upon
claims which have been audited since the LIST
of last January, and the number of audited
claims is increasing as fast as the Auditors
force can examine them. This money cannot
be paid until Congress reassembles and makes
an appropriation, which will probably not oc-
cur until next January. An Illustration of
the hardships caused by this failure of the
Democrats to act in the matter came to light
few days ago. An ex-soldier, now living in
Kansas, had in reply to his inquiry been in
formed that his claim amounting to 1886 was
passed last January, and would be paid as soon
as Congress should make an appropriation for
it. He has nov written through his member
of Congress. urging the Secretary of the Treas
ury to make the case special one. He had
bought farm upon which a payment of $500
was about to become due. He had absolutely
exhausted all other resources, and must sacri-
Ace his farm with all he had previously paid
upon it unless the money eae him from the
Sow lui way IN which this can be done. In fact
a law in Congress. expressly prohibits sav,'
tistEgg. of the kind. ---e.eS --s-

Concerped About Osgood.


The deep concern manifested by some of orr
highly moral and almost pious Democratic
contemporaries over Mr.. Osgood's betrayal of
the temperance cause" by refusing to stand
as the prohibition candidate for Governor in
Maine, is one of the most touching incidents
OF the campaign. If there is any cause that
truly reliable Democratic organ-one, for ex-
ample, whose stomach can stand the Maine
Historically has close to its heart, it is the
cause of enforced prohibition. "Down with
rum is as natural a Democratic watchword
as Cup with reform''-and we must beg of our
readers not to make too literal an interpreta-
ton of either of these shibboleths And any,
thing which has tendency to delay the prohi-
bition, the inhibition, the determination and
final destruction of liquor in any of its seduc-
tive forms naturally pains the Democratic
sensibllities 1t is not to be wondered at.
therefore, that Mr. Osgood, hero but yester
day, is now "Blaine minion,' and traitor to
the holy cause of enforced prohibition. Such
devotion to principle is an oasis of encourage
ment in the monster-bearing desert of political
subserviency and falseness 1t is almost as
inspiring as the spectacle of Democratic scorn
and contempt for the prodigal Greenbackers,
who are "going back to the embraces of the
Republicans. The chivalric devotion and
practical rewards bestowed upon their Green
back allies by the Democrats, when they have
no further use for them-to which Congress-
man De La Matyr can bear eloquent testimony
make their scorn only equalled by their
wonder when stray devotee of the dead rag
baby wanders back to the Republican fold.
Truthful Dick Deadeye was right. This is

the crew were at once directed to saving pas
sengers. The tug Vulcan was fortunately in
sight and hastened to her relief, as did also

holder under the State government. The press
is almost entirely in the interest and control OF
that party, and all the powerful influences OF
social surroundings and party patronage ana
discipline have made it perfectsas machihe
autocracy. And yet with all that. here IS tne
public charge from the Tennessee river to the
Gulf, that fraud-shameless, unbrldled fraud
has been made use of to count porucai VITO
workers and party favorites into oHces tney
were not elected to, by thousands OF votes, and
TO make it appear how faithfully Alabama
keeps Wade Hampton's pledge IN CINCINNATI
that the vote of the solid South Is assured Tor
the nominee of the Democratic party.
But behind all this is dark background.
Dishonesty in political matters is not hess rep
rehensible than moral turpitude of any other
kind. and sooner or later the shock will come.
There are hundreds of men in this State who
know in their hearts that the existence of this
continual violation of civil liberty will end in
despotism at our very homes, more terrible
and dangerous than that of Nero, and yet few
have the courage to speak. The game is a des-
perate one. Stealing votes involves denying
the theft and thus we have two sins, the con-
tinued existence and practice OF which helps
to build up in our midst vicious public sentl-
ment that condones crime, laughs at the
strangled law, and blunts that high sense, OF
honor and chivalry which has always been a
distinguished characteristic of the Southern
people.
The things complained OF by both DR.. RAN
dali and Mr.. Bird, are unfortunately too true,
and we have to accept these statements as I'M
challenged Nor will the fact that few ne
groes voted the Democratic ticket have the
effect of burying out of sight the "horrd
thing" The charge is that thousands of votes
have been flagrantly stolen and changed, and
that free government and free speech are in
the decadence in the South. Ii the Democrats
deny the charge the proof is at hand. We
shall live to see the day when the solid South
will be regarded as the greatest political mis-
take of the age. A South made solid by fraud
penetrated under the very sanction of the
vilest election laws that ever cursed commu-
nifty, cannot long exist as a menace to the
whole country and should not be permitted to
exist for the safety and happiness of the free
people of America. In its present aspect it
means antagonism to healthy national feeling,
political decrepitude, industrial death.

Issues and False Issues.

There is class of people at the North and
they have some newspaper organs, who are
constantly complaining because the Republi-
can party does not give old issues the go-by.
and bring new questions to the front. These
people talk as if the Republican party, unwill-
ing to do this, kept the old issues in contro
versy for purely selfish reasons, when every
body else desired to abandon them. Now the
fact is, that the Republican party has done all
that party could to turn from the past to the
future, and the simple reason why the old is
sues are still vital and commanding, is because
the unreconciled South and the ,reactionarv
Democratic marty will have it SO. and he reads
current history specifically and to little pur-
pose who does not see that such is the fact.
There has not yet been time when the Re-
publican party could cease to maintain the
rightfulness of the war for" the Union of re-
construction on the basis of equal rights. and
of guarding the rights held under the national
Constitution by all the powers granted in the
Constitution, without sacrificing the security
of the essential and legitimate fruits of the
war.

Los PINos AGENCY, Aug. 26.-An Indian
arrived last night from the Southern Agency
with communications from DIR. Lacy to the eff
feet that Ouray's case is hopeless-that he is
unconscious, and has not recognized him since
his arrival. A consultation of three physicians
has so decided, and they report that the public
may expect to hear of his death at any mo-
ment. Chippeta. his wife, is with him. The
Uncompatgre Utes are almost in panic at the
very thought of his demise, and the rival
bands are already discussing his probable sue
cessor. From among the various candidates
crowding to the front, Chief Sappoyonara will
undoubtedly be the man. The commission
has accomplished nothing yet at the Southern
Agency toward the signing Of the treaty. The
death Of Ouray will compiicate matters and
may delay the settlement Of the Ute question
at least a year.
