The statement that Judge Critcher
will get as many white votes as bis
competitor is a wilful and deliberate
falsehood. as Judge Garrison will get
nine white votes TO Critcher's one at
least.-Tide,OQ9er Index.
Frank Moss ayowed that he pre-
ferred to vote for a negro, and as he
could not get a nesto he preferred a
Readjuster, as one who would do more
for the negro than the Radicals could.
Are the Mahoneites deceiyng their cam
vasser and delegate Moss, or are they
deceiving Readjuster Democrats

AS between BIN and Garfield, there
lis no possibility OF hesitation for any
man. Hancock was the best soldier,
he is the best civilian, he will make the
better Presldent.-N. Y. Truth, IRE

We have seen a letter from one Of
the most influential and leading Read
iusters Of the Eastern Shore" in
which he says that Judge Garrison will
command the almost undivided support
of the Readjusters Of that section, and
that Judge Cntcher will not get the
votes ola "baker's dozen. -Fredericks-

Judge Richardson, of the Court Of
Ciai.us, a stalwnrt OF the stalwarts, said
to a Massachusetts friend: 1T looks
as though Hancock would be elected,
aud l hope he will be. He would make
a better President than the other man."
Senator Logan said only two or three
days ago 10 a friend who asked him

Accounts from all parts Of this dis.
trict are most fattering for an over
whelming victory for Colonel Barbour
and the regular democratic presidential
electoral ticket. The old men and the
young are volunteering their services,
and We doubt whether such a canvass
as will be made has ever been witness
ed IN this district before. The nomina.
ton OF Colonel Barbour has taken like
wlld.fire, and has evoked an enthusiasm
that will exhibit itself at the polls in a
rousiDg majority. -Ater, Gazette.
A republican irm IN The North, en-
ploylng a large number Of hands, have
addressed circular TO all the men in
their service, lntimating that unless
they vote for Garfield they had better
get out and let their places be filled by
Others who will. This may or may
not be bull-dozing, but that it is just as
effective nobody entertains doubt.
A gentleman just returned here from
J.oudoun, Va, says that the democrats
of that county are in the best possible
condition, are full Of enthusiasm and
sangulne of success, and are organizing
clubs all over the comfy. That at
meeting at Snlckersville last Saturday
a club was organized with 200 members.
These clubs are pledged to vote the re-
gular democratic ticket in opposition to
what is known as the Malone ticket,
which latter he says will receive but
few votes, as all the republicans will
vote the ticket Of their party and near
ly all the democrats will vote the resu-
lar democratic ticket.
