Tho Republican conference
Ths Republican conference just held
in New York has given proof Of the en-
tire unanimity and harmony that ex
lists in the Republican ranks every,
where. The meeting was remarkable
gathering of representative men and
nearly every State in the Union was
represented. Although General Han
cock had given assurancesin his letter
Of acceptance that there should be 80
full vote, free ballot and fair count, u
this company of distinguished men had
met together to consider the expediency
of making any contest at all in the
South owing to the almost absolute
certainty that there would be no posi-
bility of having a fair count even
though there should he a full election
and a fair count. 1t 10 rather a gro
tesQue commentary on the honesty or
rather dishonesty of elections that the
party which has the most votes in
many of the Southern States should
be deferred by violence from voting,
or if they did vote, their votes should
be taken from the ballot box and re-
placed by the substitution OF otl or bal
lots. II is to the credit of magnan.
unity oi the great Republican party Of
the nation that the acknowledged lead
ers OF the party even.in the face OF the
protest of several Southern leaders, re
solved that square contest should BE-
made all ever the country North
and South-that the bull dczed and
prosecuted Republicans Of the South
vas not to be fOrsaken. The Republl-
cans gallantIy and honestly resolved tu
make an energetic and honest CANVASS,
and to leave the Democrats to do the
ballot box stuffiug, cheating and false
counting. 1t was generally conceded
that there was fghting chance TO win
electoral votes in the two virginiss
North Carolina and Florida, and thai
quite number Of Congressman could
BE- elected from districts now represent
d by Democrats. That 1t was necss.
5&ry TO hold such a conference for the
purposes set forth under a Republican
sovernmAnt is as odd an affair as was

can't delude you by having Hancock
with them. Hancock as far as | know,

and, ahl circumstances have thrown
me into company in which 1t is disa'
greeabls to have that matter mention
ed" [Yslls Of laughter and applause. ]
That, gentlemen, is just what his let
ter means, If 1t means anything. Now
We have got as our candidate James A.
Garfield, Q brave volunteer General,
who is not afraid about its being known
that he was in the Union Army. He is
brave, capable, honest, experienced, !,
and We propose to follow his standard
to victory in this election. [Applause. ]
And ! say to General Hancock, for
whom | entertain very high regard as
q soldier and as gentleman, that he
has at last been found in bad company,
and we can't follow him." CONTINUED

n.pub,iean prospects.

General Garfield is making splen-
did impression upon the people where
ever he goes, and he has the unbound
ed confidence Of the party he represents.
In spite Of all the calumny that the
Democratic press has been attempting
to heap upon him, the enthusiasm with
which he is received everywhere shows
that mud will not stick to him. Every
day Democrats are declaring in his
favor, and 1t looks now as II he
were TO have q clean walk over in the
North, with q chance Of carrying sew
eral Southern States. Senator Blaine
stated at the Republican Conference in
New York, on Thursday, that Garfield
would carry Maine and that all the
Congressmen would he Republicans.
What Blaine d, MT know about Maine
is not worth knowing. Senator Conklipg

canvass in New York, and that State is

necticut comes the news that the Re-
publicans never were in better condition
nor more united than now. Secretary

ference that Ohio could take care Of IT.
self and would give Garfield from 25,-
900 to 80, 900 majority. General Bon
jamin Harrison Of Indiana, said that in
1876 times were dull and the contest In
that State was between the Democratic
speakers and the threshing machines
and the Democrats beat the machines.
This year the machines would take care
OF themselves. He had no doubt that
the Republicans would carry the State.
A prominent gentleman writing from
the Pacific coast says he found a very
encouraging state Of affairs In Cali;
tornia and the Republicans we're sure
of the State. The same gentleman visi-
ted Oregon, and says that "no Repub-
lioan doubts but that Garfield and
Arthur will get its electoral vote. Wis
consin Is sure for Garfield and the Re.
publicans will elect all their Congress
men except one. A writer from Charles

Of Garfield and Arthur carrying that
State. A writer to the Committee from
Pittsburg says that city is good for
from IL, 900 to $4,000 majority for Gar

down Philadelphia for 900 Republi-
can majority. But for the apoatacy OF

Thus the work goes brsvely
along, the Republican candidates gain

The lines are already so plainly drawn
that Hancock may be allowed the solid
South with 1873 votes and Garfield the

Thin Subtorfuges.


1t is remarkably strange that the
Gazette in the face of all the facts te
the contrary still insists that fair cleo
tions are held in the South. l. does
not say in 80 many words that fair
elections were held but the inferences
are unmistakable. The whole tenor OF
the arguments Of Its editor Is to justify
the violence which keeps colored vo-
ters away from the polls-indsed a JUS
tification of all the detestable means
made use Of to cheat the Republicans
out of votes and TO carry the elections
by fraud and violence when 1t cannot
be done by honest means. As sam
pie of the kind OF misrepresentation
made by that paper the imaginative
editor says alluding to the South call
the people there are Industrious and
happy. They have no tramps and al
though they have no pensioners they
have NO masked robbers, and
no midnight assinations. " This
sounds like queer language in the face
of the record of crime aud blood that
is waited to the north by every breeze
from the South. Not week goes BY
that there is not an account OF some
fsarfdl tragedy and lynohing-soms
duel, shooting down in cold blood, to say
nothing OF the general pastime Of the
ballot boz 5tufing to make a solid
Democra South that the Gazstte has
never yet condemned. The tins has
come when the people can be no longer
deceived. They will begiu to see at
last that there is truth in these stories
of crime and lawlsbsness from the
South. Eyel General Weaver the
Greenback candidate for the Presidency
let himself through misrepresentation
of the Democratic press to believe that
the stories of fraud and violence we're
without foundation, but lately he has
been down in Alabama and he has rs-
turned with the full conviction that the
half about the lswlessness aud crime OF
the Democracy OF the South has never
yet bern told. 1t is no credit to the
editor Of the Gaz site to say that it is
ignorant Of these things, though its
editor may hide behind the subterfugs
that h. never saw the laWlessness in
the South like he did last tall, wheA he
denied !hat the Democrats voted re-.
peaters simply because he never saw a
repeater vote. These thin aubterfuges
will net ID; thu people who read
and think for themselves will see
through tle thin guise and will break
from the party that covers up tishon-
esty and fraud and apologies for
iEtim'd+'igns and murders.

Chapman, died the next day from
