SETTLING THE NORTHWEST.
Two More 10000 Acre Farms Bought
by Engli.hmcn.
Toronto Glohc

The fever for land-purchasing near
the base of the Rocky mountains seems
to have ahatcd not one jot in England,
and upon good authority it may be
stated that MIR. Brasscy, the celebrated
contractor of London, has bought up
two moro tracts of land. of 10000
each near the tract first set apart. He
will COLOMBO them, and cattlc-raising
for the English market will he Como in
to an extensive scale. Senator
Cochrane has acquired 10000 acres at
Bow river 500 miles west of Winnipeg
and will go extensively into the cattle
raising business. He owns at present
fifty head Of Hereford cattle, imported
for the purpose Of crossing with native
breeds, and will devote much Of his at
tcntion TO the work on his farm The
llerefords arc at present in quarantine
below Quebec The hope Of the
senator is that the road from Winnipeg
to the base Of the Rocky mountains
will be finished inside of three Years,
and thereafter the cattle can he shipped
to Great Britain. II is claimed that
many Englishmcn arc following Mr..
Brassey's example, and besides con.
sidering the details Of the Pacific
scheme, parliament will likely be
asked to sanction the sale ofthese and
larger tracts Of land in the far west

THE Rustic FAINTER.

HE sheep went idly over III. hills,
Idly down and up,
A. he sat and PAINTED his .weeth.srS face
On little ivory cup
All round him roses in thc grass,
That were hardly out Of buds
For sake Of her mouth and check, knew
He had murdered them in the woods.
The ant, that good little housekeerer
Was not at work so hard.
And yet the sembNnce Of Il smile
Was all Of his reward.
And the golden belted gentleman
That travels in the air
Hummed not SO sweet 10 the clover buds
As to his picture there.
The while for his ivory cup he made
An easel Of his knee
And painted his little sweethearts face
Truly nad terlerly.
Thus We are marking on all sur work
Whatever We have OF grace,
As the rustic painted his ivory cup
With his lit tlc swectheArts face.

THE QUIET VOTER is AROUND.

The result of Tut sday' elections shows
that the "silent vote" will be very large
this year, and that it will battle the cal
culations of the Democratic managers.
The indications show that, all over the
country, business Republicans have not
been so united since 1860. They have a
past, of which they arc proud, and to
which they point as the best reason for
their continuance in power. Republican
legislation and administration have made
the greenbacl1 as good rs gold and
brought about prevalent financial sound
ness and security. They have encour-
aged all branches of American manufac-
lures, SO that the products of highly paid
American labor are successfully ccS.npet-
ing with the produatss-ooff the pauper la
Dor of the Gid World The Republican
PARTY has the same principles every where
and it is sustained by an honest and just
pride i'll the greatest achievcments-in

young Republicans with enthusiasm and
old Republicans with confidence. Its
standard-bearer Gen. Gariield) has the
fullest, noblest, and most fruitful record
ever made by any man in the House, and
his life is the browning illustration of the
developing power of American institu-
tions.
What contrast must all this present
to the mind Of a rejecting Democrat.
who has to go back to the Administra-
ton of Andrew Jackson. to find a party
record to which he can "point with
pride"
And when such a Democrat begins to
study the recent history of the control
ing elements of his party, which foretells
surely what it would do if put in power,
how can he fail to find that all these ele-
ments are vicious and dangerous? A
general and radical unsettlement of all
that was thought to have been settled by
war, would be the predcstined work of Il
successful Democracy. Does any intel
ligent business man believe that this
could be undertaken without first unset
Ting that confidence which is the life of
all our Astounding and prosperous trades
and industries?
But there will be no occasion for such
an unhappy and prolonged disturbance
of business. Tens of thousands of intel
ligent Democrats all over the country
appreciate the situation and will go to
the polls and quietly vote for Garfield
and Arthur, whose election will dissolve
the "solid South" enfranchise the suf-
frase, end all sectional animosities, con-
tinue our sound currency, and prolong
our "good times" for a long series of
years. The drift of public sentiment is
in favor of Republican succession, not
Il Democratic succession. The elections
this week have shown it. The American
people do not intend to be dominated by
a "sold SOUTH controlled by Confed-
crate brigadicrs, who seek to accomplis 81
by legislation, what they failed to accom-
plish with the sword.

WE'VE GOT 'EM.

One of the greatest political contests
ever waged in this country has Just
closed in the State of Indiana, by a
sweeping triumph for the Republican
party and its gallant standard bearers
Indiana was Democratic stronghold,
and at the outset of the struggle the con-
test seemed almost hopeless. 1t has long
been Democratic State, held in the
Bourbon ranks by well known political
methods, and which its proximity to the
Kentucky border, afforded the amplest
opportunity to practice. Since this con-
test began, English and Barnum, both of
them shrewd and experienced g Demo-
cratic mule buyers have supplied album
dant means to corrupt voters. Tilden
opened his barrel, too. SO did Schell
Besides it was well known by the Dem
ocratic managers, that for them Indiana
was the decisive battle field, and every
effort was made to carry it, by fair means
and by foul. Landers himself, their can
didatc, conceded at the very moment lie
was depositing his own ballot, that
Democratic majority less than $1,000
was their practical defeat. The Rcpubli-
cans, in one of the grandest campaigns
ever waged, have reversed this majority
and made it Republican. This victory.
won against the concentrated efforts of
the Democratic party in Democratic
State, is the turning point in the Presi-
dental struggle. 1t will pass into his
tory as one of the greatest achievements
of the party of Human Rights, Nation
ality and Honest Money. 1t is the Get
tysburg of the present campaign, and
Hancock will realize the infinite differ
ence there is between leadership of the
Boys in Blue, who vote as they fought.
and that Of the Boys in Gray" who
also vote as they fought.
The victory i'll Ohio is equally signif-
cant and inspiring. Garfield S own State,
which knows and loves and honors him,
has been true to the best instincts and
traditions of its best citizens. Ohio pro-
| claims to the world, by noble Republi-
can majorities, her increased confidence

is wild with excitement tonight over the
Republican victories in Ohio and Indiana.
There is an immense crowd gathered in
front of the Republican headquarters.
where speeches were being made by At

and others. Bands are playing, and bon

Central committee, has Just received the
following from Chauncy /. Filley. men,
Der of the national committee at Indian

is flooding this country with free trade
literature. British gold is being spent
to aid the Democratic free trade policy.
If the mechanics of Cecil county want to
aid them, all they need do is to vote for
Gen. Hancock. Every ballot cast for him
helps to rob the laboring man of a part
of his earnings. There can be no mis-

should they succeed in securing the adj
ministration of our National affairs -
They have openly declared for rerenue
tariff only. The tariff they will adopt
will not be discriminative one, nor one
protective of American industry, simply
a tariff to raise sufficient means to meet
the current expenses of the Government.
On the other band, the Republicans adj
vocatc protective taritf-one that dis
eliminates in ,far0r of American manu-

we'll paid laborers and mechanics of this
country compete with the meanly remu-

or indirectly interested in the mainte-
nance and prosperity of American manu-,
features, can hesitate as to which party
he will support.

Disguised Democrats and JubiIant
Republicans

The early returns received on Tuesday
night indicating a sweeping Republican
victory in Indiana, and Ohio have by the
latest advices been more than confirmed.
Indeed every telegram received up to the
hour we go to press, reports increased
Republican majoritics in those States.
The Ohio Republicans have majority
of $1,000. They have secured at least -
members of Congress. One district is
still in doubt. If it has been carried by
the Republicans they will have 1G Repre-
sentatives in the next Congress, leaving
the Democrats but 4.
In Indiana the result has been equally
decisive in favor of the Republicans.
They have not only elected their whole
State ticket which may reach 5000, but
they have gained three Republicans in
Congress. The Indiana delegation in
the next House will stand nine Republi-
cans to four Democrats. The Legislature
is Republican in both branches, and Il
Republican will succeed Senator Nc
Donald when he retires on the Sd of
March, 1881.

AID FROM ENGLAND

The editor of the Philadelphia Press
has in his possession Il letter dated Sept.
End, 1880. received by Il Philadelphia
workingman from Il Acknowledgment
in Oldham. England, which contains,
among other information, this sentence:
There are bills posted here in tie streets
Urging tie iDfufntih men 10 rouse ZIP tie
Democrats Of Imerira, as, i they get IN
pO,ccr, it lrW bring more trade to England.
The editor OF the Press says, if any
person doubts the genuineness of the let
ter, he will produce it within an hour's
notice. 1t is generally acknowledged
fact that the English manufacturers and
capitalists are taking a lively interest in
the ensuing election, and are giving as
sistance to the Democracy in the shape
of large contributions for election pur-
poses. These English capitalists know
that the Democratic party has declared
for free trade, and if that party is sue
cessful, they can flood this country with
their cheap goods and break down our
own manufacturers.
