1t is announced by the Democrats
that the Republicans have resolved
on a sectional campaign, The honor
of originating that kind of cam
paign belongs to the Democrats.
They declared their purpose to make

raj votes of the South solid for their
ticket, and the Is, 1000 bogus majority
IN Alabama is the first frui of the
plan. The Republicans have merely
accepted the challenge to stand up
once more against the infamous
principles which Wade Hampton de-
clares are the same as those for which
the South fought for four years. 1t
is the Democratic party which has
raised the sectional flag, and 1t is
that party which is destined to go
down in defeat under IL.

Distressing Occurrence.

Wednesday morning our citizens
were startled by the intelligence that
Mr.. John Riley, residing on mis- farm,
about mile west of Deer Park, had
committed suicide by hangi, g.
From Mr.. Adam Enas, who first
discovered the body we learned the
following facts:
Mr.. Enas returned from Deer Park
about $50 Wednesday morning, ami
went into the barn to put up his
horse and found the lifelesS body of
Mr.. Riley hanging to beam. He
had placed ladder against the side
of the barn and after adjusting the
rope to the beam and around his
neck, swung off. An inquest was
held by Squire Droege and verdict
rendered that he had come to his
death by his own hard. Mr.. Riley
was between 80 and 81 years OF aye
and had been Respondent, to or later
or less extent, ever since the death
of his Wife, about four years ago, and
this trouble, and sickness, it is sup
posed led to the commission of the
act. He appeared to be in as good
spirits as usual on the morning of the
suicide and there was nothing to lead
any to the belief that he intended
doing himself any violence.

Senator Hoar threw his financial brickbats
about IN the republican happy family as reck.
lessly as his political pebbles. He informed
his audience yesterday that ''ln 1860 the credit
of the nation was poor It's treasury empty, its
six per cent. bonds below par If this were
true and if, being true, this was the work of
the democratic party, which the republicans IN
1860 were trying to cast from power, what IS
to I've said of the republicans and Of the condi-
ton to which the credit Of the nation, its treas,
ury and Its six per cent bonds fell within a
twelvemonth after the election of Abraham
Lincoln? As q matter of fact, however, In 1860,
under President Buchanan, the credit OF the
nation was excellent, its treasury full and its
six per cent. bonds at par. The total means of
the United States government for the fiscal
year ending July |, 1860, were $Sl ,09l ,3O943,
and the total expenditures S77 ,462, 1922, leav.
ing balance in the treasury, July l, 1860 OF
1898, 206.1l. On the 10th of June 1860 the
United States skies Of 1868 were quoted at par
in London. On the 9th of June 1860 the
United States tives of 1874 stood at l04 in New
York On the nth of July 1860 the United
States fiveS of 1865 stood ct 1907 in New
York If the receipts of the treasury shrank
and the credit of the United States declined as
the signs of republican victory in the fall of
1860, with all Its threatening consequences TO
the public peace and the prosperity of the
Union, multiplied, is that thing which the
republicans of 1880 ought to thank Senator
