THE Hon. Thomas L. Jones, one of the
Democratic candidates for elector from
Kentucky, has distinguished himself by de-
claring that when Hancock is seated ''rhe
Democratic party will see to it that the
wrongs that have been perpetrated for
twenty years will be righted." 1t is pretty
evident what that threat means. We all
know the things that the Democrats for the
last twenty years have held to be wrongs.
The first great wrong, in their eyes is the
war itself; the second is the abolition of
slavery; the third, the amended Constitu-
tion; the fourth the reconstruction acts; the
fifth the honest payment of the National
debt; the sixth the restoration of a sound
currency; the seventh the protection of the
ballot-box against force and fraud. These
are the wrongs they purpose to right.

THE recent investigation of Democratic
election frauds in New York by Wallace's In
yestigating committee recalls some of Wal
lace's own practices in Pennsylvania at that
game. A writer in the Philadelphia North
American relates the history of the election
frauds in Huntington County by this self
same Senator Wallace. 1t says:
Col. Robinson, one-legged soldier, was the
Republican candidate for Senator, and Dr.
Shugart the Democratic candidate. Shugart
was declared elected by small majority Rob
inson contested the election, and it was in this
case that the proof showed that more than 200
aliens, railroad hands, were colonized at Phil
lipsburg, i'll the district, for about two weeks
prior to the election, all of whom presented
their naturalization papers and voted for
Shugart, thus defeating Robinson
A poor Irishman, John Cleary by name,
told the story to the Committee about how the
coffee to give them the appearance of age. He
also testified that he voted at the said election
for Shugart, and that he had not resided year
in the United States. He it was that opened
up the whole outrageous transaction. After his
discharge by the Senate Committee, he re:
turned to his home at Osceola Mills, Clear
field County He was killed within twenty
minutes after he got off the cars and up to the
present day his murderer has never been ar
rested. Also Catholic priest, a resident of
Clearheld, the home of Senator Wallace,
swore before the said Committee that the mon
ey that paid the board bills for that gang of
voters came from bank in Clearfeld in which
Senator Wallace was interested. The records
in this case at Harrisburg will establish the
truth of these statements, and ''Coffeepot'
Wallace knows also the truth whereof affirm
And he is for Hancock.

Mr.. HENRY WATTERsoN of the Louisville

quately and acceptably, the Office of Chief

clare with Judge Black, never did so good
man make so bad politician. The

HERE is another illustration of the Demo-
cratic method of conducting the campaign.
1t is from the Boston Globe: ga correspon-
dent informs us that Mr.. E. p. Mayo of the
Somerset Reporter, hitherto one of the most
radical Republican papers in Maine, will
shortly take the stump for Hancock and
Plaisted. The senior proprietor is secretary
of the Republican State committee" Mr..
Mayo will do no such thing He is for Gar
field first, last and all the time. The Globe
story is good example of the way Hancock
recruits are made. They are paper recruits.
TEXAS promises to show the most phe-
nomenal growth of any State in the Union.
No county from which the census returns
have been received reports less than 100 per
cent. increase in ten years, while many go
up to 200, and some even to 500. Denver,
COL, has been regarded as the city showing
the most marvellous increase, that of $40
per cent, but she is left clear out of sightb by
Dallas, Texas, which has developed from
hamlet of 800 persons in 1870 to city of
$1,000 inhabitants now, an increase of 1875
per cent.

THE full force of Judge Withey's
decision only appears when it is con-
sidered that he has decided il on a
point which the supreme court has
already determined and there is no
longer the slightest doubt as to the
final decision in easean appeal is ta-
ken, which is hardly a likely thing
now unless sheer desperation iinpel
the bend-holders to try the last re-
sort before appealing to the state.
Instead of that they are more likely
to turn their attention to the snp-
port Of Judge Hawkins and the de-
feat of Judge Wright as the only
means of securing a withdrawal of
of their proposed compromise and
obtaining dollar for dollar on their
bonds. 1t must appear to those who
have been disposed to follow the
boilers that the only chance to avoid
the payment Of the full debt is to
defeat Judge Hawkins by voting
for Wright. With the republicans
in power, the bond-hOlders will at
once withdraw all offers Of comprO-
mise and 90 the full debt and cupOns
receivable for taxes. AS to the rail-
road case that is entirely out Of the
way. The decision of the supreme
court in the Minnesota ease, cited
by Judge Withey, completely COW
ers the Tenn essee cases and relieved
him of going further into the case
than to decide it upon the act of

are the debt of the state and not of
the railroad companies, and now II

Piles inculcated by Alexander Ham
iltOn. deem 1t worth while tC
show what Garfield advocates, and
intend, with the help Of God, dur.
ing this campaign to show the full
/ import of this Endorsement. 1t Is a
fact that Alexander Hamilton, In
stead of writing a letter containing
the germs OF the American consti-
tuition, was never IN favor Of II.
Alexander Hamilton, as delegate
to the Philadelphia convention, in
lTT7, presented plan and a consti-
tuition drawn up by HIMSELF and
what was it? / have here taken
from his own works and writings.
BY his provision the chief lnagis-
trate and the members of the senate
were to hold their places for life,
and this of course was soon to de-
generate into hereditary offices.
Further, the governors of the states
were not to be selected by the voice
of the people, but were to be APP
pointed by the chief magistrate.
That would be an excellent plan for
Mr.. Porter this year. Hayes might
appoint him, and that's the only
way in which he can possibly be
come governor of Indiana. (Cries
of "That's SOP and applause.) Mr..
Hamilton then proceeded to eulo-
gize the British system OF laws, and
said in the debate that followed
that the British government was
the best model in the world. And
Garfield goes out of his way to eulo-
gize the plans of this man Hamil-
ton. Why, gentlemen, after such
an announcement, would not vote
fOR such a candidate to save his life
and my own, too. EVERY day.
says Mr.. Hamilton, "proves to me
more and more that this American
world was not made for me."F He |
was an honest man in his convic-
tions, and that is more than can be |
said of republican leaders to-day. |
He felt, as a British subject living
in these colonies, that he had been
Disseminated against, but when the /
tie was broken he saw no better
than that from which
he had been severed. And when
the people took up Jefferson and
made him president it broke Ham
iltOn's heart, and when that immor-
tai second declaration of independ-
ence, Jefferson's inaugural of 1871,
said this proved to him
more and more that this American
world was not made for him. He
was honestlya monarchist. He be-
lieved that this government was
not such as a man like himself de-
sired to. live in. Now, my fellow
citizens, is it made. for Garfield or
any of his clan? No, it is not made
for those who utter such sentiments
as these. j tell you, gentlemen,
he shadow of the giant is upon you,
and the question with you now is
1ot as TO how you may best admin
ster this government, but as to
whether you will be allowed to ad-
it at all. This party sur
'ounds the polls with every obstacle
o the exercise of freedman's priv
lege. 1t is party which naturally
hould surround the polls with fed

Voorhees, On Garfield and Central
LZufIOn. ~

fa tzatIOn. frat t
+ Mr.. VOORHEES, addressed the people
of Evansville, Indiana, directing
their attention specially to the cen
tralizing Tendencies of the republic
can party and Qf Mr., Garfield as an
expnnont of them. The portion of
his speech which treats of this sub
ject is given below. 1t cannot be
too seriously considered by those
who desire u continuance of gov
ernment on republican principles,
I have said that the leaders of the
republican party are imbued with
the doctrine of distrust of the peo-
pie, and that they are in favor Of a
strong centralized government, and
as illustrustrative that the republi-
can party has no respect for the peo-
pie, let us take the events of the
last four years. Four years ago we
were involved in such proceedings
as we are now, and we were then
talking about who should be elected
president. of the United States.
There were two men named for that
Office ,-Samuel ]. Tilden and Ruth
erford b. Hayes, and Samuel ].
Tilden was elected president OF the
United States by more than a quar-
ter OF a million majority, but you
well know he was cheated out of
the office. (Applause.) A part of
the system of the republican policy
was that system of carpet-bag gov
ernment which demoralized sever
al of the southern states. The car
pet-baggers of the north swarmed
down upon the southern states with
a voracity, rapacity characteristic
of their policy, and in that way
such states as South Carolina, Flor
ida and Louisiana were given into
their hands. Their returning boards
were instituted, and you well know
the character of the Infamous work
they did. In the state of Louisia-
ma Mr.. Packard came out 200 votes
ahead Of Hayes, but Mr.. Hayes
said to him in substance, we have
had enough of that kind OF
business, and my conscience will
not permit me to indorse your cleo
tion. (Applause.)
In 1860 Mr.. Garfield said in the
House of Representatives; ~ be-
lieye that the fame Of Jefferson Is
growing less, and that of MIR. HAM
ilton-and remember he favored
strong goyernment-is on the in
crease, and / am gladof it." Since

Our Gallant Representative In

The American Is permitted TO
publish the following extract from
Il letter written bya prominent gen
tleman Of this state who is now In
Ohio:
81 had the pleasure Of hearing
the Hon. John +. House last night,
at Shelby, Ohio. He created an
enthusiasm that was startling. The
people were warmed like you have
seen the Methodists ut camp-meet-
ings, under the powerful appeals OF
Mr.. House. He literally flayed
Garfield alive and the uprOarOus app
pIause was deafening. And when
he described Arthur as "dead cat
which COnkling, In his wrath, threw
into the Chicago convention, IL
was several minutes before he could
say another word.
The canvass Is very hot; and yOn
may not believe II, but Hancock
will carry Ohio. The democracy
Is everywhere jubilant and republic
cans despOndent. There Is a grand
swell which is going TO sweep tho
Republicans from the places they
have held for twenty years. They
made fearful mistake this time in
fighting under the banner of the
bloody shirt. / have seen many
former republicans who VIII vote
Hancock, and not single democrat
who will vote tor Garfield.
