The country will not vote against its own
prosperity by voting for the Democratic party
That tremendous newspaper. The FORD, has
exclusive information from Washington that the
President and Secretary Sherman are working for
the defeat of Garfield. This should be supplemented
by the equally truthful statement that Garfield Is
about TO mike public announcement that ne Will
shortly take the stump for Hancock
There isn't much of a campaign on either SIDE YET
and thcro is not likely to be much systematic Work
done for some time yet The weather will nave
the field mostly to itself for the present. but
while there Is little real canyassng in progress, the
people are doing good deal OF quiet thinking
The more they reflect the stronger VIII the hepuo-
lican cause become. The election OF Garheid means
the continuation OF the present successful pocy ana

Tilden has been tapped for money! why does not
somebody tap Seymour for adyicef He has no END
of it, and his party needs it,
Congressman Kelley. of Pennsyly ania, admits
that Garfield is Protectionist enough FOR n.y.
which is pretty good evidence that he Will be Tor

speech for the Republican ticket, In Philadelphia,

which makes all talk about Pennsylvania going
for Hancock little less than stupidity.
Inward reformation is about the only change
within reach of the Democrats.
Mr.. Weaver is not in imminent danger Of being
the next President of the United States. but he Is
likely to do the most valuable public service OF his
life by assisting in the defoat OF the democratic
party.
There is great Joy in the Democratic household
over u runor that Tilden has given Barnum cheek
of 300 900 to assist in the election of Hancock 1t
is not stated whether he accompanied the donation
with this beautiful extract from the famous ark
and schechnah letter of the gifted Moses The

forces his entire faith in the people, their voliOns
and their powerD Noble sentiments ike those
would have been of great service to Barnum Wnen
he sat down to figure out Just how many mules at
1876 rates he could buy fer 100000. Perhaps,
though, Barnum hasn't received the money yet and
no calculation is racking his intellect
There win be no demand for large expenditure
of Democratic funds IN the South. Tissue-ballots
arc cheap, aud five dollars worth will be ample to

with Tammany on top.
