These questions and answers, and

the solid facts of history. There is no
doubt about them. The Democratic
party has made the record. 1t has pre-
served its own organic identity while
making it, and is to be judged OF by the
whole of it. It is the same party that
was false during the war, and has ever
since been false to the proper results
thereof. Good and honest men there
are in the party; but the party itself, as
q political organization, has an exceed
ingly bad character. It is not fit to be
trusted with the management of this
Government and can nominate no ticket
that ought to be elected. No matter
who heads its ticket, it is the same old
party and there stands its record.

D~From the moment of Gen. Gar
fields nomination the Democratic news
papers, led by the World, have abounded
in sneers at the Volunteer soldiers of the
war, as distinguished from the Regular
Army soldiers. The extract quoted q
few days ago from the Herald, Demo-
cratic newspaper of Scottsboro, Ala,
explains this hostility: "Hancock be-
longed to the military service of the
country, and it was his professional duty
to follow the Stars and Stripes in obedi-
ence to the command of his superiors.
He did his duty. Gen. Garfield quit the
vocations of teacher and preacher, vol
unteered his services to fight in the Fed
eral army, and aid in conquering the
South" That is why the Democrats
don't like the Volunteer soldiers, is it?
because they volunteered to help put
down the Democratic rebellion without
being forced to do so? When the World
sneers again we shall understand it now.

Tho :" Fraud" Cry.

The Democratic cry of fraud" in
Maine, started by Seven-mule Barnum
and reiterated by Democratic papers
throughout the country, will deceive no
person. Democrats themselves do not
believe it. 1t is simply used to break
the force of their fall, and perhaps to
furnish . pretext for frauds which they
propose to perpetrate themselves. At
all events, there is not q particle of
foundation for it. The Boston Journal,
which is thoroughly conversant with the
election laws of Maine, says:
"Never was there Q moro preposterous
charge than that any one should undertake
to tamper with the returns OF two or three
place, the returns are made up and sealed In
open town meeting by officers who are half
tenn Of tamperins With these returns would
involve conspiracy TO induce nye or sIs siS
tn sssr

opened and amended after they were depos.
not not, only be evident, but the figures in the re:
turns would differ In two or three hundred
cases from those recorded in the own records.
In case of any discrepancy, under existing
laws, the returns must be so corrected as 20
agree with the record of the Clerk. Further.
remember for months the vote as declared, 60
that when any figures differing are announced,
hundreds would see ana detect the frauu IN
less than q week. Again, the returns of votes
for Governor are not opened until the Legis-
lature Is organized, when they are given to
committee of that body, composed Of both
parties. whose duty it is to open the returns
and count the votes. Any attempt before the
meeting of the Legislature to open these
sealed returns, erase the numbers of votes,
which is written out, and insert In the
place other numbers, In words, would be SO
palpable a fraud that no man knowing enough
TO write would attempt it. The only returns
opened at the office of the Secretary of State
at Augusta,are whatare known as the Clerks
returns" These are made for the public con-
venience, and are never used for an ofncial
count. Consequently there could be no possi-
BILE object in tampering with such papers.
The Republicans would scarcely change these
returns simply to have more favorable ng-
ures for publication, since such publication
by towns would attract attention all over the
State and lead to the prompt exposure of the
fraud. We repeat, therefore. that up to this
time fraud in connection with the returns of
the vote for Governor is impossible, and will
be impossible until the same are opened by
the committee of the Legislature, when Il
must be perpetrated by that body, composed
of members of both parties"

D~General Mcclellan, q Union SOL
der. was nominated by the Democrats
for the Presidency in 1864 as a decoy
duck. Had the Southern rebels an op-
portunity every one of them would have
voted for him. Would that have been
regarded as an evidence of reconcilia-
ton? Not much. The defeat of McClel-
Ian broke the back of the rebellion.
The ballots were more effective than
bullets. Now, in this year of grace,
1880. the same party has set up another
decoy duck. His defeat in November

alone. He fairly represents the spirit
of the South. General Fitzhugh Lee,
speaking to a Democratic meeting at
Portsmouth, Va, the other day, and
pointing to the Confederate Soldiers
Monument, said: eff you desire that
those heroes buried yonder shall not
have died in vain, vote the Democratic
ticket and vindicate the principles for
which they sacrificed their lives" And
