withdraw all resolutions he or other
Southern delegates had submitted, and
accept Senator Bayard's resolution de-
elaring that the right of suffrage be-
| longed to the States, provided they
would allow him to add these words:
And We declare that the reconstruction acts
are revolutionary, unconstitutional and void"
And the committee finally agreed to
the Generals proposition. Taught by
| the bitter experience of defeat, the Dem
ocratlc party has been less bold in its
declarations since 1868, but there is not
a particle of evidence i'll the records of
the present or last Congress to show
that its purpose to treat the reconstruc-
ton acts as unconstitutional and void"
| Is not rs clear as the declaration of the
| platform of 1868, and it will not be the
fault of the Solid South if the Supreme
| Court Is not SO recognized as to see that
the amendments shall not also be decla-
red null and void. Gen. Hampton could
very well afford to say that he felt as
sured that when the Democratic party
came to triumph, they will show US a
remedy for our miSf0rtuneS in their own
good time"
There is much else in the speech that
makes mighty interesting reading in
the present attitude of parties, but we
pass over it, to show that in this speech
in 1888 Gen. Hampton foreshadowed the
policy since adopted to suppress the vote
of the freedmen-a policy that will in
November result in keeping from the
polls more than a aquarter of million of
qualified voters. He said:
Il cOnjure our people to dedicate all their
energies to the work before us. Organize clubs
(ritie clubs?) in every locality. Try to con-
vince the negro that we are his real friends
but if he will not be convinced, and is still
joined to his idols, convince him, at least, that
he must look TO those idols whom he serves as
his gods, to feed and clothe him. Agree among
yourselves and act firmly this agreement,
that you will not employ any one who votes the
Radical ticket!'
That this advice has been followed to
the letter,and the persuasion of the bull
whip and shotgun added to the policy
of starving the blacks into conversion to
Democracy, the history of every State
election in the South abundantly proves !;
and that it has the Endorsement of the
Democratic party at large is evident
from the fact that no Democratic Con-
Vention or newspaper or speaker has ev-
er rebuked or denounced it. 1t is part
of the policy of the party. There is not
Il y Northern Democrat who dare denOunce
it. His sympathies are with the South
in its ambition to wipe out the recon-
struction acts, rullify the amendments
to the Constitution and bring again to
the front in our National affairs, the
principles for which Lee and jackson
fought, and for which the Solid South
contends. The meaning and purpose of
the party is so plain that it is surprising
any man loyal to the Union and the
Constitution as it is, can delude himself
with the notion that what has been done
to make us free and equal people with
out regard to race or previous condition,
will be allowed to stand when the Solid
South resumes power at the National
Capitol Commercial.

. The Sharn End.

Jim Wood, the Irish Hoosier and coal
miner, who is making some pungent
campaign speeches for the Republicans
in Indiana, told the following pointed
story in a speech yesterday, aprOpos to
the bloody shirt discussion: "Then they
say that the fellows talk about the
bloody shirt all the time. They remind
me of the boy and the dog. The boy
was going along the road, and he hap
pened to have pitchfOrk with him, and
he met savage dog, and he happened
to be holding the sharp end of the pitch
fork toward the dog. His old grand
father called out to him: why, what dc
you have the sharp end of the pitchfork
toward the dog for?' and the boy said
Because the dog turned his sharp end
toward me- If they don't like hearing
about the bloody shirt they shouldn't
have turned their sharp edge toward us.

WADE HAMPToN's ''broad add down
reaching for the Union" began as far
back as 1868. On June is of that year
he made a speech at a supper of the
Alumni of Washington College, Vir-
ginia, when, alluding to "our martyred
dead" he said he did not believe they
fell in vain. The cause for which Jack
son and Stuart fell cannot be in vain,
but will in some form revive" He could
not couple Lee with Jackson then be-
cause Lee was alive, and was present at
the supper. The sentiment is curiously
like the one he uttered at Staunton, and
it may be that he regards the present
campaign under Hancock as the "revi-
val" he predicted in 1853.

NEXT to Wade Hampton and Robert

charge of assaulting and intimidating

gether his friends, armed with trusty

he would have to fight before he could

VOTERS should bear in mind the fact
that William H. English, the Demo

ly, by Republican President and Sen
ate, who made it impossible for the Dem
ocrats to meddle with the public credit,
the currency or the tariff?
But if such far-reaching and terrible
mischief was averted, two years ago,
only by Republican power, who viii
dare to intrust the affairs of the country
absolutely to the Democratic party now !?
No man can say that its purposes or be-
liefs have changed. II it can, it vii! do
all the mischief which it has attempted
and more which it has not yentured to
attempt Let the ofiice-beggars wait. 1t
is better that they should stay out of
Office than the workmen should go out
of Work.-lN. y. Tribune.
THE Democratic press, especially in
the North, is strongly imbued with the
arologetic spirit which SO curiOusly
marks the letter of Gen. Hancock. The
truculent tone with which the Demo
cratic leaders in Congress announced
that they would go to the country on
the issues raised at the extra session and
the one preceding it, is completely
abandoned. Those issues were the re-
peal of the election laws and the abroga-
ton of the statutes giving the Presi-
dent the use OF the Army on election
day, as on other days, for the execution
of the laws Of the United States.
We hear nothing, or almost nothing,
of either of the questions, which only a
few months since were declared TO be
vital. The fact is, that the long and
vigorous discussion which took place
when these measures were up III Con-
gress and in the ensuing canvass WAS IA
tai to the Democratic position. "The
bayonet at the polls" was shown to be a
scarecrow. The election laws were
shown to be fair and legitimate in pur-
pose and beneficent in practice. Neither
subject afforded any ground for conduct
ing a national canvass, and both have
been practically given up by the Demo
Gratis.
Still more unfortunate IS the party
with reference to finance. Its organs
find themselves forced to either ignore
the matter or to try to explain away the
record of the party. Everything which
the Democrats predicted from the Re-
publican policy has failed to happen;
every measure which they proposed
themselves has been shown to be either
mischievous or ridiculous. The whole
course of the party has been against the
current of events, contrary to the inter
ests of the country, and threatening dis
aster. 1t is not strange, under these
circumstances, that the party which set
out so boldly to convince the country
that "change" was needed should be
reduced to constantly explaining how
the change would be dangerous.-[N. Y.

District Schools.

Mr.. A. J. Webb, who has been sojourn-
ing east of the mountains since last spring
has recently returned, and will soon take
charge OF the Flatwools school for the win
ter term. The high winds aud dry atmos-
phero of that section seem to have pat a
healthier flush upon his cheeks; yet he
comes back fully reconcled to the mud the
cloudy skies and the heavy dews of a win
ter in Western Washington. Mr.. Webb
taught the school near Marbles mill last
winter, and gave general satisfaction. He
is one OF our leading teachers, and has many
friends here who welcome his return.
F. Cleary reports the commencement OF
the winter term in District No u. Miss
Nora O'Brien has charge, anl judging from
the past work we may safely predict a sue
cessful term. The people of that district
have shown Il considerable interest in school
matters, and are on a fair way to build NJ Il
LARGE and prosperous school. Miss Snooer,
teacher recently from Oregon, is teaching
the school at Marbles mill The school
opens with fair prospects, and the people
seem to think themselves again fortunate
in the selection OF a teacher
The people at Mill Plain begin to talk OF
erecting new school-houso. Thi, would
be lauiable enterprise, as it would greatly
onhauoe the school accommodations in that
district. X.
