Ex-senator Gordon Explains His ResIg-
nation.

AUGUSTA, Ga, June 5-Gen. Gordon, ex
U. 5. Senator, arrived here this forenoon. He
spoke at City Hall to very large audience
and explained the reasons for his resignation.
He denounced the charge that there had been
any bargain and sale. He resigned because he
had long desired to leave public life, and a
Lucrative position had been offered him. He
defended the course of Gov. Colquitt, and said
the appointment of Brown would prove an ex-
cellent thing for Georgia.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-10-30
The Poor Mans Friends.

The members of the Democratic
party are very especial friends to the
poor. Let us see. Hancock; well,
he was never in contact with the
poor. He don't know much about
them but English, their candidate
for vice President, has been a great
friend to the poor. He has been in
the habit of loaning money to them,
if their mortgage was sufficient, and
after squeezing all The money he
could get out of them, foreclosing
the mortgage and taking their props
erty likewise. He has thus acquired
1S1 pieces Of real estate in the last
five years. He has also, acquired
titles to nearly as many more poor
mems homes, by. deeds of trust, and
by sneaking round and buying up tax
titles. The Democrats are so careful
of the poor that they want to strike
down the tariff which protects them
from competition with half-fed, half
paid labor of Europe; 50 they don't
want the poor man to work you see.
While the Democrats don't want the
poor to work they are willing for
them to pay taxes though. In most
of the States under Democratic con-
troll, the poor man has to pay a tax
on his head and they generally see
to it that he keeps the roads in good
repair for the rich to drive over,
without receiving any compensation
for it. In the lower counties of Mary
land road working is compulsory,
but in Western Maryland where the
Republicans control, the poor man
gets paid for working the public
roads.
If you want to change this go and
vote for Hancock, and English the
great forecloser, and for Schley, who
is also said to be "the poor mans
| friend"
But poor man, if you've got good
sense | think you will not ask for a
change.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-10-30
The Difference Well Explained.

General Grant, In the course of a
few remarks at Republican meeting
in Jersey City on Thursday evening
of last week, said that after this cam
paign is over the Democratic party
will find it just as much to their adj
vantage to have been beaten as it can
be to the Republican party to have
beaten them. HIS said further:
The Republican party never asks
anything for itself which it does not
grant to others. If we have three to
one in precinct we do not forbid a
ballot to the fourth man, but we a.
low him to come up and vote just as
he pleases, and we count the vote
Just as he casts it.
Now, all we ask for our carpet
baggers, the col0red race, and all
others, is that they shall be allowed
to vote, and not turned out of their
homes or ostracised. This is all we
ask. If the Democrats beat Us on
this issue, we are willing to accept
the beating. The beauty CT such Il
system as we have is, if bad gov
eminent gels into power 1t can be
changed at the next election, but If
the shot gun policy is adopted, bad
government may be perpetuated IN
the SCUM forever.
