TRYING TO ALARM BUSINESS.

The friends of the Credit Mobiller
ticket are in sad straits. Here are
Indiana and Ohio to be bought up 10
a few days. or lost forever. jewell,
il is said, has squandered enough in
Maine and Vermont, and in prema
ture exp nditures in Indiana and
Ohio to have run the whole cam
psign at high pressure.
What is to be done 7 why cry
the ring robbers, the Credit MoblI'
ierists, and the Christian statesmen,
in chorus, alarm the business men J
And so they have taken with one &C
cord to alarming the business men
1t will, they declare, be disastrous
thing to business to have this great
country once more reunited, and i!
will also be ruinons to "Amerlcan
industry" if the Pennsylvania soldier
should be elected President over their
shifty member of the Golden Free
Trade Club
They had a meeting in Cleveland
the other day to alarm the business
men. Some of the most solid and
experienced political strikers about
the town were present, and exhibited
the utmost trepidation for the safety
of the business interests. They were
addressed 10 high strain Of warning
by Richard c. Parsons, the mao
who conveyed the 50 600 fee to
Garfield when he "held the purse
strings of the nation" and desired to
speak to Gov. Sheperd' 10 behalf of
a fraudulent pavement. Indeed Mr..
Parsons was for many years promi
nently identified with tbs business -
that is to say, with the lobby busi-
ness-in Washington, and it is only
natural that he should be in a terrible
state of apprehension concerning the
fate of his business after Hancock 3
election.
Whether Parsons will succeed in
alarming other business men TO the
point of contribution to the enor>
nous corruption fund which the Re-
publican leaders now confess they
must have to raise the smaIlests hope
of success, depends upon his ability
to prove that the money will be
more wisely spent than the vast sums
which have been already wasted -

LET US BE REUNITED.

Now that the guberpstorial battle
is over ard the unfortunate struggle
is numbered with the things that
we're, let the broken ranks Of dem-
ocracv be reunited, all the wounds
engendered healed, end fraternal
good will rule all hearts in an earn
es, desire to achieve signal victory
over our common enemy, Radical
ism. in the election of Hancock and
English. Democrats, in their hot
zeal of personal preference, have
msrshaled themselves in opposition
to each other, actuated, we doubt
not. by conscientious convictions of
duty, and each should accord to the
other honesty of purpose. No one
has the right to impugn the motive
Of his democratic friend as to why
he espoused the cause of Colquitt or
Norwood Each man is the keeper
of his own political conscience. 1t
is enough to know that dissension
and strife have divided the demo-
Gratis of Georgia, but now after the
hush of the artillery and mus kerry,
and the smoke of battle has cleared
away, let mutual friendly concessions
b, made, and all the hard words and
bad feelings Of the canvass be buried
never to be resurrected 1t has been
a family fight, di,cred itabie from its
incipiency to its conclusion, and it
will be the part Of wisdom to refer
to ii as little as possible. Our polit
icsl enemies have allotted the strife
90 to fury, and have glOried in it,
bat lie, us show them by future good
conduct. that they have not been
proftted by the result. Let us turn
orr energies into the channel of en-
during peace and business prosperity
and greater blessings will flow to
our people than can come out OF
the turmoil of politics.
