It is Life orIDeath;Now.

The solid South is making last deS-
perate effort to retain its hold on the
Government. If successful now it
hopes to SO use its influence as to gain
a long lease of power. But if defeated
this year it knows that the scepter
will pass from it never to return. The
new census will leave it in a hopeless
minority unless it can get control of
the new appOrtionment of members of
the lower house of Congress. That is
why the South is fighting SO desperate
ly and was willing TO accept any can
didate ut Cincinnati that would aid it
in the NOrth.-NeIO York Tribune.

The Mobile (Ala.) Register says: "The
fact of the South being solid in sup
port of the Democracy is not evidence
of hostility to the North. but of oppo-
sitiOn to that political organization
from whose rule it would free the
North" This is very kind in the Reg
tSter and the people of the South. They
tried to shoot us free of that political
organization" and failed, and now, be-
fore they are asked, propose to vote
for like purpose. History does not
furnish an instance of people whose
acts have been more suicidal than the
rulers of the South. That they will
accomplish their purpose, overriding
every principle of honest government,
and making mockery of "a free bal
lot" may be possible, but it is some
thing yet to be demonstrated. If the
''sOlid support of the Democracy is not
evidence of hostility to the North" it is
an evidence of hostility to heessential
results of the war, and menance to
the rights of the millions of men in the
South and North who are compelled to
submit to treatment which differs from
slavery only i'll name.-Inter Ocean.

punishment of all those who violate them, are
the only safe methods by which an enduring
peace can be secured and genuine prosperity
established throughout the South. Whatever
promise the Nation makes, the Nation must pre-
form. a Nation cannot with sS1fty relegate this
duty to the States. The solid South must

4 Monumental Fraud.

New YORK, Aug. A Montgomery
special says: The result has been that
while the Republicans polled larger
vote at this election than at any election
for years, they were deliberately counted
out by men occupying responsible posi-
tions in the world, who think it no
offence to steal vote of a negro or
Republican. The election in this coun-
ty, which in former years registered
Republican majorities ranging from
10000 to 10000, is fair sample of the
conduct of the election elsewhere. At
McGhee's switch, in this. county, the
Republicans polled about 600 votes and
the Democrats so. While the votes
were being counted the candle was
turned over and put out and the room
left III darkness for several minutes.
When the colored Republican inspector
put out his hand to preserve the ballot
box he found that 1t was gone. Con-
siderable confusion ensued, and on the
candle being relighted it was observed
that the box had been filed up with
new tickets and that the ballots were
all over the floor. The colored man
protested against the fraud and was
driven from the room with curses, and
was not permitted again to enter and
observe the count. The votes have
been returned as giving 45G Democratic
majority. During the count at this
precinct, a military company and a
large posse of armed citizens under the
command of deputy sheriff appeared
at the polling place to protect the in
spectors, although no trouble or threats
of trouble had occurred at the polls.
They were determined to force through
their nefarious scheme at all hazards,
even to have Democratic bayonets at
the polls. The aforementioned Ee-
publican colored inspector made an
affidavit to those facts. At KendalPs
Beat the proportion of Republican and
Democratic votes was the same. At
McGhee's the inspectors deliberately
changed the votes in the presence of
the ignorant, timid old colored man,
who finally detected the inspector with
a large roll of bogus tickets. They
then tried to bulldoze him into signing
the returns, but he would not do so. I
might relate similar experiences at each
polling-place in this county, because the
history Of one is the history of all.
But it would not add anything to the
force of the statement. Five thousand
Republican votes in this county were
deliberate ly counted for the Democratic
nominees, and to render the injury
irreparable, the Legislature at it's last
session provided that tickets should no
longer be numbered. Thus all posi-
biljty of tracing the ballot Of the voter
and Of the ofi5e, showing that it has
been changed, is taken away. The
monumental fraud of the age was the
pretended election of Aug. 2, 1880,
fraud the Democratic papers prepared
for weeks by parading in their columns
the lie that thousands of negroes were
joining the Democratic clubs. Here
they could not muster 80 colored Dem
ocrats out of 5000 colored voters.

The character of this man Ascham is well
cali ulated to satisfy anyone that he and his
partisans sre fully equal to the job of assassin
alton. He has lately murdered three men, the
last ole poor, inoffersive man, who had but
a few days before nursed him through an at
tack of delirium tremens. Without a word of
provCcation whatever. this Ascham shot him
down like dog, and was acquitted by Bra
zOria county jury on the ground of insanity.

RESOLUTIONS.
The following resolutions were adopt

Democratic opponents.
ResolUed That the Democratic party by its
past record, many changes of 'front.' unpatriolic
and partisan legislation in the late and preced-
ing Congresses, and by acquiescing in the use
of fraudulent TISSUE ballots, rife and shotgun
cubs intimidating American ,itizens in the
enjoyment of their constitutional rights, has
shown itself a foe to good government and to
the cause of freedom.
Resoloed That the members of the conven-
ton proceed at once to organize themselves into
national organization to be known as the
risL- American Republican League, and that
the members of this league now present pledge

record may be kept of the progress Ct our or
ganZation.
Res0Loed, That these resolutions and the ad-
dress adopted by the convention be prepared
and placed everywhere possible in the hands of
lrish-Amerlcan Republican citizens.
