Is it not worth while for the citizens

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 2Sth, 1880.
Last night there was an immense
Democratic ratification meeting and
procession at the national capital. In
numbers and alcoholic enthusiasm it
was mammoth affair. for Virginia
sent forth her rebels and regulators
from Alexandria, Baltimore furnished
her quota of those who attempted to
stop the march of the first Union
troops that went to Washington in the
beginning of the war, and the sur
rounding towns in Maryland helped to
swell the rabble, which with torches.
paste-board roosters, brooms, and hun
dreds Of vulgar transparencies, parad-
ed the streets and surged and shouted
in front of the city hall. The Grafton
OF the evening was made by the Grip
pied confederate colonel who seconded
Hancock's nomination. His speech
was sophomorical and elaborately
ford, of that peculiar style of south
ern oratory whose ideal must be a
combination of SCOTS romances with
Moore's poetry. The meeting did not
differ materially from the usual run of
such assemblages. The brass of the
occasion was not entirely confined to
the band or the battery used in firing
the salute. It pervaded the Yicarious
features of the affair, and gushed up
in the yelling speeches of the orator.
There were many utterances from the
rostrum that would not appear well
in affidavits or oral testimony in view
of the statute to punish perjury, but
after all it matters very little what
was said or done. The most glaringly
insolent act of the occasion that has
been brought to notice was the decora-
ton of the statue of the martyred Lin
coin by the hands of those who, if they
did not murder him with their own
hands, sympathized with the hands
that performed the murderous deed.
This act is mockery too insolent to be
overlooked, and the act of hollow dec
Grafton will afford no Precipitation for
the dreadful crime that bereaved the
nation, and for which the party that
has desecrated by display of decora-
tive mockery the solemn marble which
represents Abraham Lincoln is re-
sponsible in the eyes of the world.
But this is of a piece with the hypo-
critical pretenSes of that party now in
claiming to be the party of the union,
which crushed the rebellion and saved
the national life.
It was said on the street last even
ing that rebel flag was among the
decorations on Louisiana avenue, near
the Lincoln statue. This, if true, is
as fitting as that squadron of the
black horse cavalry, which was ter
ror on the Virginia border during the
rebellion, should have graced the pro-
cession. All this is in keeping with
the spirit and intent of this demon

| WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 4, 1880.
The systematic electioneering tao
tics of the thoroughly disciplined Re-
publican party are beginning to tell in
this campaign. The morale of the
party, which was none the best imme-
diately after the Chicago nomination,
has been improved and inyigorated to
the heighth of enthusiasm. From all
sources come to the Republican head
quarters here reports that their pha-
lanxes are strong and steady, or only
broken to admit recruits from the enc
my. From most trustworthy tabula-
ted reports that have been shown me,
the prospects of carrying New York
and Indiana seem in every way encour-
aging.
On the Democratic side there is a
curious lack of activity, though there
may be change during the coming
month. Buffers speech in Boston
probably marks the opening of their
canvass, which will apparently con-
sist principally in an arraignment of
the Republicans for great but unde-
scribed corruption. The existence of
this corruption-the details of which
have not hitherto been1 giyen-is de-
duced pYioTi from the length of time
the party has been in power. The
Democrats are evidently bothered a
good deal by the prevailing material
prosperity, and their references to it
are very picus, and show more recog-
milton of the beni6cence of Providence
than they have generally received
credit for.
The Tammany Hall and Tilden
Democratic Committees have made a
lottery of the New York city legisla-
tive offices. The prizes for nomina-
tons for assembly districts were
drawn on Wednesday. The number
of districts were placed on slips of pa
per, and John Kelly and Hubert O.
Thompson, representing their re-
spective factions, each alternately
drew a slip which secured to his fac
ton the control of the nomination in
that district. The success of anti
Tammany in securing the nomination
of candidates in eight districts former
ly carried by Tammany Hall, as
against the nomination of four Tam
many candidates in districts formerly
CARRIED by the Irving Hall organiza-
ton, suggest that the drawing at the
Westminster Hotel was a "sure thing
game" on the part of the Tilden men.
In case Of Democratic national vic
tory, vast possibilities open up for the
lottery for spoils. The leaders need
have no anxiety about appointments
Cabinet positions, foreign missions,
collectorships and the post-oflices could
be disposed of by lot or rattle, and even
the funds in the Treasury might be
thrown in as a capital prize. WHO
knows what is in store for us should
the conservative Democracy get con-

Gratis. It is beyond a question true
that of all the traitors in arms from
1861 to 1865, and all the Copperheads,
Knights of the Golden Circle, and
their allies at the North who were
aiding and abetting the Rebellion, not
one of them was a Republican. We
therefore maintain that as between
the two parties, one is the loyal Repub-
lican, the other the rebel Democratic.
We know not how many of your
readers will have an opportunity of
seeing the illustration Of the situation
in the Democratic camp, as shown in
Puck for last week. Chairman w. III.
Barnum is showing General Hancock
through their museum: In the fore
ground is seen the Democratic mule
with rear parts at both ends and no
head, representing the North and the
South. The rents made by secession,
notification, etc., are poorly stitched
up and the seams are ragged. Han
cock is struck with terror at the idea
of becoming head to such an animal,
while all around the room are to be
seen the relics Of the party, the cast
off implements Of party warfare, such
as Booths pistol with which he shot
Lincoln, the hoopskirt and bonnet in
which JEFF Davis escaped, a skeleton
from Andersonville, the rag baby, the
whipping post, an auction block for
selling slaves, the slaves chain and
shackles the uniform and masks of
the Ku Klux Khan, the record of poll
tical murders in the South, the fugi-
tive slave act, bloodhound, a lamp
post for hanging negroes in 1868, re-
pudiated bonds, imitation, etc., etc.
The Democratic principles that have
obtained in the past could not be more
truly portrayed than the artist has
shown in this illustration, words do
not express it. What record it is
with which this party goes before the
country. Dishonesty, theft of property
/ in man, inhumanity, slavery, repudia-
ton Of honest debts, treason, rebellion,
war, rapine, murder by starvation,
assassination of the chief magistrate,
midnight murders, and all things else
incarnately wicked and inhuman, and
last but not least of things specified,
fraud at the ballot box, make the real
platform upon which this party asks
the support of the people. PHAKs.

A PULL ALL TOGETHER.

That is what makes any public enterprise a
success. A pull altogether is what is needed
to make our annual fair a success. Our ag-
ricultural, mechanical and art exhibitions
benefit everybody everybody, with no
exceptions. Some declare they cannot see
st.. because they cannot feel the dollars COM
ing in their pockets now. Our fairs are the
seed-time of future improvement and in
creased knowledge, which by and by benefits
the whole community. Now it will not do
for the farmer to say the merchant is not do
ing what he ought to help the fair, and it
will not do for the merchant to complain that
the farmer brings nothing to the fair. We
all admit we can have good fair, and it is
a shame if we don't. Buff we don't have
good fair we blame everybody but our
selves. Now let every farmer bring some
thing to the fair, and that Of itself would
make it q success. In this age of progress
and improvement it would seem that every
farmer ought to have some product worthy
of place in our fair. 1t will pay every
agent to have full line Of his machines to
exhibit and bring to the personal attention Of
those who use machinery. The manufactur-
er should bring specimens of his skill and
handiwork in abundance and that will make
it a success We can always depend on the
ladies to do their share and grace the hall
with the things their hands have made.
Those who have nothing can come and de.
light their eyes in seeing the good things
others have brought. Let US be rid at once
of our Indifference and act as though the
success of the fair depended on our own ef-
forts and Influence. Let US manifest just
pride in so worthy an institutions. Let US
once more pull all together.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 8, 1880.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 3, $780,
A serenade was rendered the new
Postmaster General, Horace Maynard,
last night by the Tennessee Republic
can Association. 1t was an elegant
and successful affair. Speeches were
made by General Maynard, Secretary
Thompson, Congressman Hawk, of
Tennessee, Hubbell, of Michigan, and
others. The serenade closed with
three rousing cheers for Garfield and
Arthur.
The fact that the Republican Con-
gressi0nal Committee is now giving
Its sole attention to Indiana is consid-
cred as proof positive here that the
Democrats have given up ali hopes of
carrying Maine. In a private letter
received here yesterday from Indiana,
1.-THE writer gives the names of a num-
Der of prominent Democrats who have
declared for Garfield, and Porter, the
Republican candidate for Governor.
The greatest accession to the Republi-
can ranks, says this gentleman, is the
Hon. w. G. De Pam, of New Albany,
one of the wealthiest men In the state.
He employs seventy-five men, all of
whom were formerly red hot Demo-
Gratis, but who have now declared for
the Republican candidates. He says
Indiana win give at least 1000 major
ity for Porter, and about the same for
Garfield a month later.
1t is pleasing to note the large num-
Der Of Democrats engaged in profitable
business now joining the Republican
army. It is actually business nee
essity for them to declare for Garfield
and Arthur, and throw their influence
IN favor of prosperity and contin-
uance of the successful policy of the
Republican party. To thinking men,
to all who thrive in times of prosper
ity, the Democratic party offers only
disaster and financial ruin. The man
ufacturing and mercantile classes of
our population are beginning to scent
the real danger that Turks behind DEM
ocratic success, and are putting their
efforts where they will do the most
good. From the signs of the times it
is safe to say that Garfield and Arthur
will be elected by one of the largest
votes ever given to Republican Presi-
Dental candidates.
It will no doubt soothe the northern
mind and convert many old soldiers to
Democracy, to learn that the old spirit
of hatred for Lincoln exists every
where in the South. At one time this
section claimed to appreciate I4incoln's
good works more than those with and
for whom he labored. And now that
victory is expected by them, the old
feeling, as strong as in the early Six
ties" breaks out.
