Nh. CLARKE, connected with the New
York Tribune, endeavors to prove that the
Southern people are naturally given to repu-
diation, and that if the Democratic party
should succeed in November the Southern
members of Congress, being in the majority,
will insist upon the reputation of the ma
tional debt. To enforce his theory he gives
a table of the amount of debts repudiated
by the Southern States since the war. It is
an edifying table, but lacks one ingredient
to give the public an inkling of the truth-a
statement that the States did not owe the So
called debts which were repudiated. They
were no more liable for the amounts than
Minnesota would be for the private obliga-
tions of Gov. Pillsbury, which he might
choose TO incur and charge to the State.
The repudiated debts of the Southern States,
with but few exceptions, were incurred by
dishonest officials, who raised money on the
bonds of the State and appropriated it to
their own use.

ACCORDING to "Long John" Wentworth, of
Chicago, the political orator is out of date,
having been superseded by the newspapers,
which gather all the ideas that are worth
notoriety, and give them to the public. The
orators can but pick up these ideas. put them
in little different shape, and give them to
much smaller audiences than the newspapers
reach. Long Johns head is pretty level on
this point, and as he announces that he will
not take the stump in the present campaign
as long as he holds his present views, the
public will sincerely trust that he will not
have occasion to change his opinions.

The Republican papers are charging the
census enumerators of the South with fraud
in making it appear that there has been a
large increase of population, the object being
to increase the representation of that section
under the new appointments. 1t is easy to
ascertain the facts, aud if the change is true
a new enumeration may be ordered, but
those who assert that the South has not made
any progress in the past ten years are woe
fully deficient in correct information. Many
OF the cities in that section have increased in
as great proportion as the most progressive
cities in the North.

The Bous in Blue.

The following letter was sent the Mime
apolis Tribune in answer to something ap-
pearing in its columns, and, with the char
acteristic fairness of the concern, refused;
To the Editor of the Tribune.
MINNEAPOLIS, July 27.-In your issue of
this date I notice call upon the boys in
blue from Elk General and President U. S.
Grant to support Garfield and Arthur for
President and e-President. This call
coming from man that unjustly went back
on the boys in blue when he was President
of the United States, in vetoing the soldiers
equalization bounty bill and at the same
time signing bill to increase his own salary
$25,00o per year, does not look to the boys
in blue that he cares much for them only so
far as his personal agrandziement is con-
cerned and those of partisan nature. The
boys in blue have not forgotten this act, and
prefer to rally to the man in blue who
stands ey his comrades both in war and in
peace and does not forget them or their SER
vices only al times when their votes are
needed. Mr.. Grant must remember that his
call does not take with the boys in blue, but
to the contrary they are organizing all over
the country for Hancock and English. They
have been duped long enough by such men
and are now capable of Judging for them
selves who will best settle the sectional
strife that has been engendered since
the end of the war. They know
that it ia to the interest of Gen. Grant and
his party to keep up the sectional war for
their own party interest instead Of trying to
cement together the North and the South,
and make this happy and prosperous
country. 1t is too late for such calls. The
boys that wore the blue understand this fact
and will cast their votes for the old veteran
who shed his own blood for them, and the
Uuion, not part of the States, and for a
statesman that dared to express the folio wing
under the nose of the gift taker:
The right of trial by jury, the habeas
corpus, the liberty of the press, the freedom
of speech, the natural rights of persons, and
the rights Of property must be preserved
Winfield Scott Hancock.
Nothing can intimidate me from doing
what believe ia be honest and right. Win
field Scott Hancock.

MANLY DOCUMENTS.

The letter of General Hancock, accepting
the Democratic nomination for the Presi-
dency, will command both attention and
admiration It does not contain superfiu-
GUS word. Every sentence is forcible and
bears directly upon the question at ISSUE
He settles plumply and squarely the theory
that the South will be the ruling power un-
der his administration by pledging himself
to rigidly maintain the constitution with all
of its Observation-Disclosures too, which
were adopted when passion had full sway,
for the very purpose of controlling and keep
ing in allegiance the political power of the
South.
His declaration in favor of subordinating
the military to the civil government is &C
cording to his well known sentiments and
practice. That he will pursue this policy he
has already had opportunity to demon
strate.
The letter is manly document, breathing
spirit of loyalty and devotion to
the Union which might be expected to come
from gallant officer who all but laid down
his life in its defense. 1t breathes spirit of
patriotism and craftsmanship which is in
marked contrast with the theories and prac-
tice of the Republican party.
The letter of Mr.. English is longer than
that of his associate, but it is forcible and
to the point. He arraigns the Republican
party for its theft of the Presidency and
it's general corruption and profigacy
and clearly shows the danger eff longer keep
that party in power.
These letters fifty supplement the adj
mirable ticket and excellent platform pre-
sented to the people at Cincinnati.

The Board Of Equalization is disoharging
its duty faithfully and efficiently. Mr.. Mayor
Dawson made motion to raise the assess
ment of one of his lots from 81 900 to 49,
600. 1t is the intention of the Board to
make fair and equitable assessment of all
the property in the city, regardless of owner
ship, and the result will be that the rate of
taxation will be much less than it would be
if property was assessed at half of its value.
Go on, gentlemen. as you have begun, and
your action will meet with the approval of
the tax payers. Let the assessment be equal
and uniform throughout the city, and there
will be no fault found with your proceedings.

Chicago Times Report

Cnlcag0 Hines neport'J
Then followed tedious reading of the
resolutions, which, being very prolix and
very hackneyed, bored the audience for q
good half hour. They were read by Col.
Fellows, he who had the touching scene OF
reconciliatory, handshaking with John Kelly
on the stage at the Cincinnati convention.
The resolutions were everything that such
things usually are, with, if possible, a little
more than the usual amount of redundant
rhetoric and famboyant eloquence. They
would fill fully close printed column and a
half of the Times, and half the space was
given to the recital of Tilden's wrongs and
denunciation of the great fraud. This part
of the document was cheered with lusty
yociferousness which made the approval
given the other sections weak and mild
by contrast. The little sphinx in the big
velvet chair showed not the slightest signs
of consciousness through it all. His body
was stffly erect, his head pressed the back of
his chair, his mouth was twisted into very
round and vacuous o, and he looked for
all the world as though he had been ''hxed''
by clumsy photographer to have his picture
taken. For the rest the resolutions recog-
nized the great wisdom of the Cincinnati
convention in the nominations they made,
enumerated and denounced the shocking
shortcomings of the Republican party and
hailed with heartfelt gratitude the coming
of a brighter day for the republic, when the
Democrats would come into power and hold
the Offices. Then Col. Fellows read
LETTERS OF POLITE REGRET
from Horatio Seymour, Gov. Mcclellan.
Lucius Robinson and Senator Herman, and
mercifully declind to read similar produc.
tions from ex-Gov. Palmer, Mr. Springer
Henry Watterson, Proctor Knott, and hos'
of others who were sorry they couldn't be
present, all of which will appear in the Dem
ocrat1c papers here tomorrow. When
Samuel J Randall came on the stage before
the performance began, the audience cheer
ed him roundly, and fairly "slopped over
with irrepressible feeling when he tripped
up to Mr.. Tilden, and the two statesmen
faced each other and shook hands for the
space of five minutes rs though they wore
LONG LOST BRoTHERs.
1t was after 9 o'clock before further
speaking was liz order, and the crowd had
been calling loudly for Randall, some min
utes before Col. Fellows, with his letters

man chance to introduce the favorite SON
of Pennsylvania. Everybody was locking
for rousing effort and everybody was woe
fully disappointed. Rsu ,au began tamely

Boston Special, July 49,
In an evening paper appears an interview
with Gen. William i. Burt, postmaster Of
the city under Gen. Grant, and now promi-
nent railroad man, in the course of which he
says: "f the election of Gen. Garfield de-
pended on the establishment of the fact that
Cakes Ames prevaricated in the Credit
Mobilier matter, or uttered in bis testimony
aught but the truth, Gen. Garfield could
never occupy the Presidential chair. | have
no hesitancy in pronouncing the statements
of Cakes Ames true in every particu lar.
he would not compromise his honor for the
purpose of shielding another, and if any of
the Republican papers expect to make po-
litical capital for their candidate by attempt
ing to tarnish the reputation of Cakes
Ames, or compromising him in
his testimony, the fants will show tn az
they will be sadly mistaken. Yhe book is
yet IN existence to prove my statement that
Cakes Ames did tell tbs truth, and in
his testimony he said that the memorandum
in his book showed balances Of 1929 due
Gen. Garfield from his dividends On the
Credit Mobilier stock. l AN out of tina DO
litical arena now, and do not make these
statements for the purpose of creating po-
litical capital for either side, but at the same
time am unwilling to hear the memory of
my deceased friend, Mr. Ames, traduc8d by
the Republican press and the friends of the
Republican candidate for the lstter's benefit,
or, in fact, for ths benefit of anyone. At
the time Of the investigation 1 was con-
ssant visitor to the sessions, and was ON
versant with the attendant circumstances of
the case. well remember the pain under
which Gen. Garfield was placed by the re-
form element of the party and the Republi-
can press. L have always been Republi-
can, even before the existence of the party
organization; have never voted any other
ticket, and have always actively supported
it, through the war and since, but I haven't

The fellow at Shakopee, who "wants to

course give his name the "notoriety" which
he seems to think is big thing, second

the proper way to keep out of print If l
were actuated by no higher motives in writ
ing for the press than to get personal "no-
toriety," which seems to be the case with
your correspondent, who evidently judges
others by himself, would bring this mans
name out and engage in purely personal
controversy with him Gor his article has
nothing in it but the personal abuse of a
slang-whangsr conceived in malice and fired
off in bad English, but the weather is too
warm to engage in skinning skunks, and I
therefore prefer to go a-fshing. If he will
come out of his ambush, and write
like gentleman instead of blackguard,
Gf possible) anything worthy of answering,
signing his name so that we shall be on an
equality, will endeavor to answer him with
the courtesy of gentleman, and not abuse
him. will simply add that do not belong
to the Catholic church, nor the Protestant
church, nor to Bob Ingersoll's church,
but 1 believe in the religion which
makes a man kind, courteous and gentle
manly, which makes him philanthropic and
anxious to do good, and if your "Cathollo
soldiers abusive article is sample of the
Catholic religion, think it is more of an
'sism' with him than it is a religion. do
not pretend that the radical party will
openly make fight on Hancock on account
of his religion. They quietly and covertly
circulate the falsehood that he is Catholic
to gain votes among the Puritan element of
the North, but will send out Carl Schurz
and others to the anti-P Puritan element who
will say not word against Hancock
on account of his religion
thus keeping this wing in line
and carrying water on both shoulders. will
not crafty your correspondent by asking his
name or publishing it. I think the game is
hardly worth the powder, and respectfully
suggest to the GLOBE that it is hardly jour
palistlc propriety and fairness to allow an
anonymous writer to personally attack q man
while calling himself Soldier and hiding
behind tree. Let him come out into the
open field, and the public will then see
whether he is "soldier" and what
sort of soldier. At present he is only q
