The Boston Herald wants to hear from
the democratic orators, and pertinently
asks these questions: "What is your
democrat to do when he is put into Office
other and better than is now being done?
Have you a better financial policy than
John Sherman's? Is your idea of the
civil service higher than Carl Schurz's?
Can you find any soldiers left as a men
ace at the south by the present war otfi-
GERS? Do you pretend that you can carry
the mails better or more economically"
The reply in each case we fear would be
NO" The country to-day is prosperous
and contented and change, just for the
mere sake fletting in the hungry outs
would be great injury.

PAYMENT FOR SLAVES EXPECT
ED.
Charleston West Va. Leader.

There are men living in Kanawha
county, who are intelligent, and who do
much to shape public sentiment in their
respective neighborhoods, that have care
fully prepared lists of their slaves, with
their names, ages, value, and time they
parted with them, accompanied with the
names of the persons they expect to use
as witnesses, when the time comes for
them to make out their claim against
the government. These statements are
treated with as much care as if they
were government bonds, and in certain
sense they are as desirable, for the holder
expects them to be paid at maturity-i-
e., when the democratic party gets
control of the federal government. You
urge the constitutional amendment as a
bar to these claims, and these men at
once become indignant. They say these
amendments were illegally passed, that
nOn-partlsan supreme court would so
hold, and that as soon as the democratic
party comes into power we will have this
kind OF a court. IF this question of the
government paying for the slaves was
submitted to the voters of West Virginia
as separate proposition, we do not be-
lieve, outside of the men who would ex-
pect to be directly benefited by it, it
would get 5000 votes, yet every man
who votes for Hancock supports this
measure, and favors the same aristocracy
that did SO much to pauperize the poor
white men OF the south before the war.

NUNS THE WORD.

The northern democratic leaders have
brought very strong pressure to bear on
General Hancock to induce him to de-
clare in some public way with reference
to the payment of rebel claims. They
represented that there was a strong de-
mand for something of that kind in the
west. The general, however, declined to
do SO, saying that if his letter of accept
ance does not cover all the ground, moth
ing he could write would have any effect.
The general is politician enough to see
that the votes he would gain in the north
would be more than counterbalanced by
the losses such an expression would
cause in the south. He remembers that
Tilden wrote such letter as is now want
ed of him, in 1876, and the howl OF in
dignation that went up from democratic
Threats that he made the declaration that
he did. Hancock dare not define his
position He wants to be taken on trust;
or at least will do nothing to prevent his
consistently following the demands of the
south. Let this fact be remembered.

On ONE of the banners carried in the
democratic procession the other night
were inscribed the words Hancock and
Reform" We venture to say that not a
single man in the crowd could answer the
question if asked whit it is they want to
reform" What is there in the present
condition of affairs, national or state,
that could be improved or reformed?
What abuses exist that call for "reform?"
Can the democratic party do better with
the public debt than this administration
is doing? Can the democratic party inn
prove, in any respect, upon the present
conduct of affairs? No. Then why
want change" or why go about howl
ing reform" when there can be no
change except for the worse, and there is
no need of reform anywhere? The
fact is the fellows who are bowling that
way don't know what they are talking
about

JUDGE CLAyPooL, of Indianapolis, in a
recent campaign speech on the democrat
ic stump at Martinsville, Ind, advocated
the absolute independence of states;
justified the principle of secession, and
declared that the war was q crime on the
part of the government, OF which the
southern people were victims. This, he
said, entitled the south to remuneration
for its losses and the placing of southern
soldiers on an equal rank with our own;
and these results, he predicted, would be
secured by Hancock's election.

most civil right ever wrested from the mean, vii
lannon's election law, loses to the party in the
United States the choice Of president, and
makes perhaps Radical Congress. What may
the people hope from a party that SO outrages
them and their rights? Nothing but woe to them
and the country"
1t is refreshing to find here and there
in the south a democrat who has some
sense of shame about him, and is not
afraid to denounce the wrongs of his
party. Whether The True Issue does this
from principle, or simply because of the
injury done to its party by the managers
in manipulating the returns in this way,
is not known. But there is no doubt
that the point made by The True Issue
is correct, that it was great mistake for
the democrats to roll up on paper such
tremendous majority Such a stuffing of
ballot boxes, together with the stuffing
of the census which was practiced all
through the south, has driven the last
nail in the democratic coffin. A party
that cannot be honest in matters of this
kind will never be entrusted by the
American people with the control of the
government A solid north will look
out for that.

\ REBEL CLAIM FILED BY MIS-
TAKE

a Washington dispatch to The Chicago
Tribune says: Ever since the demo-
Gratis secured control Of the house of rep
resentatives claims for pensions have
been frequently received by claim agents
in this city from ex-confederate soldiers
One agent alone has received over one
hundred. One application from Alabama
was actually filed in the pension Office by
Gilmore & CO., of this city, and was
passed along in the regular order of the
work until it reached the point where APP
plication is made to the adjutant general
for transcript Of the military history of
the applicant from the muster rolls in the
war department. This application was
returned Endorsed, NO such regiment
The case was then referred to Gilmore &
Co., who replied that the regiment in
question was confederate; the claim had
been filed by mistake Claims of this
kind are piling up in Washington in the
hands OF agents who are only waiting for
a government, democratic in all its
branches, to ensure favorable action upon
them. To man these claim agents are
all for Hancock.

ANOTHER DEMOCRAT, to-wit, Hon. F.
E. Beltzhoover, representative in COLI
gress from the 10Th district of Pennsyl-
vania, has been putting his foot in it.
Last April one of his constituents wrote
him !. letter asking him to present bill
in the house granting pension for serv-
ice in the Union army. In the fullness
and honesty Of his heart and without
thinking how bad the effect Nigh be up
on his party, he wrote in reply that he
would gladly comply with the request
made, but for the fact that "wih the
present democratic house pension bills
10 not bear much .faror. 1t has become
almost impossible to get consideration Of
such bill at all, and when considered
its chance of passing the house is very
remote, and the rebel general acho is at
the head Of the pension committee IN the
senate is still more adoerse to alloving
ony such bill to pass" The rebel gen.
eral spoken of is senator Withers, of
Virginia. Union soldiers will now un-
derstand, upon democratic authority,
what stands between them and the favor

granting them pensions. 1t is "the

THE Chicago Times makes the follow
ing good point against the democracy:
There has been an organized, persistent
and scarcely concealed attempt in the
south to practically nullify the constitu-
ton, and to deprive a large class of citi-
zens of the rights which the constitution
gives them. Has the voice of any south
ern democrat Cor northern either, for that
matter, been raised in condemnation of
that attempt? If there has been it has
escaped our notice"

Gen. Butler, in a recent speech invited

every leading measure brought forward
and carried through by the Republican
party has worked out such benefcent re-
suits that even the democratic party
which opposed them at the outset are now
compelled to confess that those who were
for them wiser, more sagacious and more
patriotic than those who were against
them.
Is there not in this epitome of what the
republican party has accomplished suf-
fcient answer to Gen. Buffers assump-
ton that the democratic is 'the only
party of progress?" The history of the
world may be looked through in vain for
a parallel to the progress and magnifi-

they will stand by the party whose rec
ord is luminous with the granduer Of it's

OUR CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS

The congressional convention which
met in Madison last week made choice of
L. B. Caswell as its candidate. His COM
petitors for the nomination were Hon.
Jonathan Bowman, of Columbia, and
Hon. E. E. Woodman, ofSauk. The vote
stood Caswell SO, Bowman 80, and Wood
man %, and Mr.. Caswell having major
ity over all, motion that the nominal
ton be made unanimous was adopted.
The proceedings of the convention were
very harmonious. The friends of each of
the candidates did their best for their
favorites, but the nomination once made
all fell into line with zeal and the best of
feeling, pledging their best efforts for the
success of the ticket. This is very great
compliment to Mr.. Caswell, it being
the fourth time that he has been thus
honored by the republicans Of the second
district. And it must be the more graft
flying to him, as it certainly is the more
creditable, that he had to contend with
gentlemen of the acknowledged ability
and fitness of Messrs. Bowman and Wood
man and came out the victor In our
Judgment the convention could not have
done wiser or better thing. Mr.. Cas-
well has made an able and faithful re-
preventative, and the feeling of the con-
vention was that with his experience he
could better serve his constituents than a
new member. For the next two years we

THE DEMOCRATS in the country towns
had an opportunity last Saturday in their
county convention to give Watertown
another thrust, and they did it. Some
how there is not the best of feeling be-
tween this city and democrats outside its
borders. Though Watertown casts a
very heavy democratic vote, and has a
large representation in conventions, her
claims received little consideration. Her
delegation from here last Saturday favor
ed the nomination of Henry Mulberger
for senator, but the convention treated
the wishes of the delegates contemptu-
ously and forced upon them another
whom they did not want This was snub
Nc. l. The request of the Waterfowl
delegation that they might be given an
other candidate upon the ticket was de-
MED, and here was snub No. 2. Some of
the delegates were opposed to giving Wa
tertown anything at ALL saying that the
democrats here have forfeited all claim
to recognition in democratic conventions
Watertown democrats will have to take a
back seat for some time yet, so far as
party favors are concerned At least this
is the way democrats talk in other parts
of the county, and they evidently mean
what thev say

THE ALABAMA FRAUDS CON-
FESSED

While no democratic paper has had
the temerity to deny that the overwhelm-
ing majority claimed by that party in
Alabama was manufactured to order, it
was not to be expected that any of it's
organs would frankly admit the extent of
the frauds committed. But now comes
The True Issue, a democratic paper pub
lished at Birmingham, Ala, which takes
the confessional and proceeds to dilate as
follows upon the enormity of the out
rage. 1t says:
The democratic papers realize the fact that
great damage has been done to Gen. Hancock in
his race for the presidency by the put-up major
ity Of $4,000. The cry of fraud has been raised
by cheated and wronged people, and is repeat
ed throughout the land, exaggerated doubtless
and it is telling fearfully against him in the
north, and blighting with fear chances that were
bright up to the time the manipulators handled
that iniquity that disgraces the legislations
of the last session. new election law Had
it not been used as it was it would have failed
and of course, as it is intended to defraud it
was so used. 1t was too much, however and the
5000 majority looks about as ugly now as the
eight to seven commission did four years ago.
Both the democratic performances are under
stood by the great mass of the people, and they
are not SO much surprised at either as the press
seems to be now at the $4,000 majority They
know who planned and executed them, and
what for, and they will not fail to say if Hancock
is defeated that the defeat came to him through
the same channel as the cheat did to Tilden.
There was in our opinion no necessity for
SO gigantic fraud for any party puI-
poses. Twenty thousand or 25, 600 majority
would have been enough to fully secure all the
officers of the state and tested the working capac
ity of the "machine"-a machine that can grind
out ballots and add up majorites that don't exist
that DISTINGUISHES the people and denies then
the right of free ballot and an honest count the
