The following is the last case Of Gar
feld-desertion which has been made
public. The reasons given by Eli are
conclusive to his notion, however they
may strike others:
ST. JoHNs PLACE,
BROOKLYN, August lS, 1880.
The Hon. w II. Barnum, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee.
DEAR SIR; have been weighing the claims
of both candidates aud investigating the his
tories of both parties, and have concluded to
come out for Hancock. These arc my reasons
for rejecting Garfield and voting for the Demo
cratic candidate: In the first place, Hancock
represents tho sixteen nrtstocratlc repel
States of the noble aud Chvalric South. while
Garfield represents the mean, low-lived
Yankee UniOnst of the North. Hancock be-
lievcs in reconstructing the Union with tho
noble Southern soldier and the Christian Sc
ccssOnist on top, and with the mcani sneak
ing Northern and Southern Unonists and tho
negro soldiers on the bottom. Hancock be
licves that the 100000 noble Rebel white men
who do the voting for the sixteen States OF the
solid South ought TO kick out the l0,OOl,O0J
miserable Northern UniOnists who fought to
save this wicked Nation, get on top them
selves and raise the noble Confederate iiug az
the polls which the contempuble Yankees
wouldn't let them raise at Antetam ana
Gettysburg.
am for the noble Hancock because he is
down on the Southern Uniontst, because ne
believes In DISTINGUISHING the freedmen OF the
South, who fought against the grand old Con-
federate Stars and Bars of their native states,
and in favor of our miserable Union ilng. l
am for Hancock because the noble, patriotic
Beauregard is for him; because that self
sacrificing patriot, Jefferson Davis, is for him;
because that noble philanthropist, Goyernor
Blackburn, who poisoned miserable Yankee
women and children with ycllow-fcver cloth
ing, is for him; because the heroic command
ers of Andersonville and Libby Prison are for
him; and because all those grand old patriots
like Robert ToOmbs, the noble Hamburg But
Ter, and the brave men who murdered thnt
contemplate Union-lover, Judge Chisholm, in
Mississippi, are for him. am with Hancock
because those noble SOutherners who shot
down seventy discharged black soldiers and
the six base Northern planters at Coushatta
are for him. | am for Hancock because ev-
cry noble Old slave-master is for him, and be-
cause every low negro soldier and every mean
white Democrat in the South and North who
fought for the cursed Yankee flag is for Gar
field.
am for Hancock, not because he is a sol
dier, but because the noble South can use his
| Yankee uniform as u Confederate masked
battery to capture the Northern UntOnistS
/ and catch the soldiers vote. L am for Ham
/ cock because we can use him rs u Union bait
! to set the Rebel trap to catch the unthought-
! tul war Democrat of the North. L am for
! HanCOck's Yankee uniform, because with 1t
we can dress up our beautiful rebel policy in
/ a blue uniform and fool the Yankee soldiers
l am for Hancock because, with him as Il
masked battery, the brave COnfedcrates who
surrendered at AppOmattoX can make the
miserable Union fools of the Northern states
who fought all through the war with such
! Yankee towards as Thomas and Grant and
| Hooker and Phil Sheridan-I say because tho
noble rebels can make these Yankee fools 20
| against their own miserable North and come
down and vote with Jubal Early and Boaure-
| gard and Buckner, of the chivalrous South.
! With Hancock this noble South can make the
| Northern war Democrats undo ut the polls
the great victory which they helped to win
over the noble Confederacy on the battle
| field.
l am for the sixteen noble old rebel States,
which propose to poll one hundred aud thirty
| eight votes for Hancock, because if they elect
| Hancock they will disfranchise all the miser-
able freedmen who fought against the COnfed-
crate flag in Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia
! and South Carolina. l am for the sixteen
rebel States, because when once in power they
/ Will cut Texas into five new rebel states, and
then with ten more rebel Senators they will
have the mud-sill Unionsts of the war under
their feet. am for the Solid south because
once in power they will turn out all Union
otficials-all foreign Ministers, Consuls, Gov
ernors of Territories and United states Mar
| shals now appointed from among the Union
Yankees of Illinois, Indiana and New York,
and put the noble Secessionists of the South
i'll their places.
l am for Hancock and the sixteen noble
Rebel States, because it will be n great and
noble victory for us Northern men to vote our
! selves out of power and vote the noble Rebels
i'll. We could then stand on the miserable
Stars-and-Stripes, and saw: 1--WE Democrats
| of the North fought the battle over again AT
the polls, and they the sixteen hcbel States
won the victory. We voted them into power
again. ab ha! and voted ourselves out. We
| could say we fought these noble Rebels all
through the War; and, when civil victory was
perched upon our banners, we went and brave
ly voted for the enemy-votcd against the
| NOrth-vOted against our own countrymcn.'
Yes, my Democratic brother, we can proudly
say, when the sixteen Rebel States take pos
session of the Government-we can proudly
say, as we trail the colors of your old regiment
in the dust, I'VE have turned mean Union
victory into a noble Confederate triumph"
am for the sixteen States of the Rebe
South that control the Democratic party, be
cause their record is good; because they gavI
| lOmHStpHlS Northern settlers
only they didn't; and because they saved the
Territories from the whitening curse of Slavery
in lS5S-Only they didn't. | am for the SOltC
South and the noble Democratic party, be
cause it stood by the Government in 1861, anC
didn't abandon their sacred trust with Seces
sion in the Senate, theft in the War Depart
ment bankruptcy in the Treasury, ana Treason
in the field-only they did, | am for Hancocl
and the sixteen noble Rebel states, because
they freed 100000 slaves i'll 1858; because
they made them citizens and gave them thu
poble right of suffrage In 1866; and because II
Louisiana where there are two negroes to ont
white man, they allow them all 10 20 10 tn
polls like freedmen and vote the Republican
ticket-only they don't.
am against Garfield because he has oh
jooted TO paying SS0O,O00,000 ont of the Yam
kee Treasury to the solid, noble Confederate
of the South for old cotton claims; because
he would not pension that great soldier AM
patriot, Jefferson Davis; because he woul
not vote to reinstate the noble Fitz John POr
ter; and because if the miserable Anti-Slaver,
Union General Garfield ever becomes Pres
dent, no brave Rebel soldiers will ever re
ceive pension, no negro soldier will ever b
disfranchsed; because with Garfield no Yau
kee bonds will ever he repudiatcd; and he
cause with Garfield President the honest Con
federate war-debt will never be paid in coin.
am against the mean Republican part
because ii took charge of the Government IL
1861, when the noble Democratic party ha
il almost bankrupt-when the sixteen nObl
Southern Democratic States were thunder
ing up against the Yankee Capital from Vii
ginia-whcn those great and good Democrat
from Virginia, Mason and Slidell, had got CT
viOus France and Spain, and England "a
against it-when the noble South had prouC
ly stolen the Yankee naVy-L say am dow
) ON the mean, low-lived Republican party tina
came into power then, and in four years sai
rficcd hundred Thousand noble rebel live
and brought out n Nation with the grandes
credit ON earth. I'm down on the Repuhllca
party, and Lincoln, and Garfield, and CHASE
and Seward, and Morton, and Chandler an
| Hale, and COnkling, aud Logan for maxim
England and France spit ON our noble RebI
, rag and reverently salutetheir cursed old Star
I'm down on Garfield because he wants
| carry out all the amendments to the mea
Yankee Constitution; because he wants ever
| low Union-lovng freedman in the south
vote as much as the prondest white Democra
when the Northern Yankee knows thero m
two negroes to one white man in LOuisau
Mississippi Georgia and South Carolina, an
\ that such damnable liberty would drive tt
= noble Secessionists TO the wall ruin the DEM
cratic party and break up the solid South.
} am down on this miserable, freedom-lovin
Garfield, because he says every American cit
| zen, Wllte or Dluck, snOuiu De hllOWed u
right of free speech, free press and Il fr,
vote over all this broad land-along the bayol
of Louisiana, where there are no mean Star
, | and-Stripes, no mean Yankee flag, to Chei
/ them on, ms well as among the breezy hills
New Hampshire, where, II we should get IN
damnable Union in our clutches again and Il
tempt TO wreck her, every Northern ChT1stii
