The Republican party processes to be
a party Of high moral ideas--a party OF
honorable methods and honest inten-
tions-a party which would scorn to
descend to any questionable or corrupt
transaction in order to carry a point or
elect a candidate-even though that
candidate should be striving to gain a
seat in Congress from Democratic dis
trict. Yet in our own State, and in our
own Congressional district, the most
prominent and influential members OF
that goody-good organization, in
cluding among their number the regular
nominee of the party for the honor OF
representing our citizens in the National
Legislature, and a former Governor OF
the State, openly 90 about the public
streets and highways with their pockets
filled with money, and in the most un-
blushing manner seek to bribe and cor
rupt our voters into ignoring their con-
victions and their honor, to the end that
a well tried, experienced and faithful
public servant may be turned adrilt and
his seat given to ballot-buyer. What
do the citizens OF the First district think
of such man and such party? The
answer will be given at the polls to-day.

Meagre Reports From Pennsylvania, Cali

DAYS Contest
DEMOCRATS CONFIDENT OF VICTORY.

The Presidential campaign Of 1880 is
at an end. The case which ten thousand
counsellos have been 30 industriously
arguing before the people for the past
three months has been given to the jury,
and to-day the evidence will be duly
considered and a verdict brought in.
Upon New York, more than upon any
other State, rests the decision, and it is
impossible to see how Hancock can
fail to carry that State. Throwing
side the bray and bluster with which
the partisan press have been filed and
coming down to the facts in the case, We
cannot see how or where Republican
majority can be procured large enough
to overwhelm the Democratic vote of
New York City and Brooklyn. And il
this be so, Hancock's election is assured.
However, to-night's dispatches will tell
the tale, be it good or bad, and further
predictions, at this late hour, are useless.

kBRAM S. HEWIIT'S TESTIMONY.

At yesterdays session OF Judge Da'
Wis Court Kenward Philip, the journal
list who stands charged by the Radical
party with uttering the Garfield letter
favoring the unlimited introduction OF
Chinese labor, took the stand. and was
examined by Gen. Rodger A. Pryor, OF
Counsel for the defense. He testified
that he was not the author Of the Morey
letter. or any portion OF it; that he first
saw it on the afternoon OF the day on
which the fac simiie was first published; (;
that the article headed Lying, and
Sticking to it," which appeared in Truth
was written by him after he had seen
the fac simiie, and that he believed then
and still believes that the letter was a
genuine one and really written by Gar.
field. The Republicans succeeded in
delaying this testimony until the eve oil
the election, when they knew it could
not be circulated before the ballots were
cast, but fortunately the public mind is
made up on the question, and their
schemeing has been Of no avail.
