STILL THEY COVE.

We are conscious that we have
not done justice to the movement
by which respectable members of
the republican party are dissolving
their connection with it to rally TO
the support of Hancock and Eng
lish. To do so we should have to
keep catalogue on hand and pub
fish it every week, for they are
coming in every day and in every
state.
TO give some idea, however, of
what is going on, we will give the
record of a single day from the daily

 There is not much excitement yet in the Western political world. The battle SD far has been mostly with the newspapers All the leading Chicago dailes favor Garfield. But the battle is to be fought in the doubtful states, and the bulk of the ammunition expend-l ed there. To my mind the great issue is not men, but whether we are to succumb after all, to the Solid South. Democratic success this. Fall means just that It has been ''gall and wormwood" to the Rebel Brigadiers to have to pension our soldiers, whilethey think theirs fought as bravely and in as good cause as ours, and yet are now obliged to help raise this money. Besides they have never been reconciled to the loss of their slaves: and once let them get full control of the leash box" and they would speedily find a way. to remu- nerate themselves for their losses. Froude says "The modern creed bids every man 10 look first after the cash box," and the South would hardly prove an exception. Any one man who stood in the way of these flood gates would be safer in my opinion on a tub in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Not that all men from the South are murderers but where so many millions. of dollars are at stake, it would only require another Booth with his little pistol to remove Hancock, if he did not prove pliant, and make room for English, the man after their own heart It would be out of place for me to give the reasons and argu- ments here: but capital is sensitive, and if 1 do not miss my reckoning these points will be brought out before the close of the campaign with force that will compel business men to think twice before turning the entire govern lnent over into the hands of the rebelllous To suppose that the men who waded through blood and treasure to destroy the Union, would hesitate to reimburse themselves if they had chance goes beyond credulity.

The Salisbury Plan, It's History.

The Fourth Congressional District of Con- necticut is nest of political Pop
 ular representation has given way to represen- tation by purchase. We are no longer de- mocracy, governing ourselves. but plutocra- cy, governed by our rich men. The kind of candidates now generally selected by both parties are men worth not less than $100, 900, 1 for the State Senate not less than half mill lion. for Congress. This species of political l action, from the town where it's discoverer re. sides and where it f1ourishes most vigorously, l we feel authorized in terming the Salisbury Plan.
 It's inventor is the Hon. Wm. H. BarnuIn, the most influential and successful politician of our vicinity. The plan is based upon liberal expenditure of money for election pur- poses. Special agents are employed in each town who see that every lukewarm voter is registered and voted; that every corrupt voter is bought up; and that thespecial vste of their employer is inflated so as to give him the ap- pesrance of special popularity. How far the principal in the Salisbury Plan is cognizant of the corrupt proceedings of his agents, we do not undertaketo to say. That is point upon which no direct evidence is procurable. All we can see clearly IS the first cause and the ultimate effect.
 The Salisbury Plan began in small way in F 1866 when Judge Granger, with Mr. Barnum's help. defeated MT. Geo. w. Peet (then Re- publican) for the Senate. It took larger shape in 1867. That year, P. T. Barnum procured nomination for Congress from packed Re- publican Convention. It was believed that he would spend money freely for his election. To flight the devil with fire, the Democrats nominated William H. Barnum, and nest disgraceful campaign ensued. Both spent heavily, but the. Showman's money in most cases stuck fast in the hands of the agent, while the ''Iron Barnum's" funds actually reached the voter. and the result was an over- whelming Democratic victory. MT. Barnum was now sure of the District, but with victory came the ambition to win more victories, and the marked originality which had character ized his business career began to develop in h1s political career. He invented ''plan," which was briefly this: to raise up phenom- anal majority in his own and adjoining towns, with view of controlling his Senatorial Dis trict; to raise up phenomenal majority in his Senatorial District with view of controlling his Congressional District; and finally to raise up a phenomenal majority in his Congressiop- al District with view of controlling the State. In former years, before the Barnuln era, Sails bury gave Democratic majority of 50 or 60. We give below the full vote cast in Salisbury for Governor for the past fifteen years:

 tVote for Senator.
 Barnum himself ran for Congress in '67, 69, Fl, '73, and '75. The ''plan" was success; it increased the Democratic majority in Sails bury from 60 in 1865 to 458 in 1873, it's culmi hating year. In '67 MT. Barnum was chosen U. s. Senator and then followsa wonderful de- cline in Democratic majorities in Salisbury to which we shall hereafter refer. ..; Mir. Barnum's sphere of activity was by no means confined to Salisbury: A glance at the votes in the 17th Senatorial District shows
