There is striking similarity be-
tween the political situation in the
country now and that in Ohio last
Fall. Both parties in that State were
confident of victory. Even so shrewd
an observer as General Ewing had no
doubt of his election, and expressed
surprise at the serene confidence of
the Republicans. But when the
votes we're counted, and the Demo-
Gratis found themselves in a minori-
ty of over 1900. they discovered the
difference between confidence based
on votes and on wind. Next No
vember they will have a repetition
of the same experience.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.


Special Correspondence to The Republican u
WASHINGTON. d. c.. July q, 1880.
1t is becoming noticeable that many
Democrats who have commercial and
industrial interests are declaring their
intention to support and vote for the
Republican candidate. Not because
they have any sympathy politically
with that party, but because they
deem it an act of business policy TO
secure their interest upon their pres
ent sound basis, and against that
party that can bring only hard times
and disaster. AS one looks over the
ground occupied by the two parties in
this contest, he cannot but help being
impressed with the belief that Demo-
cratic success would entail prostra-
ton Of those industries which are
now growing TO be source of wealth
to the country, under the wise pro-
lection of the Republican policy.
There is no denying the fact that the
stability of the government, the con-
tinued prosperity of our infant man.
ufactories and the maintenance of
our present high credit abroad earn
estly demand the election of Gar
field. Every man now in doubt
should bear in mind that if he de-
cides with the Democrats, he decides
against prosperity, against our sues
cessful financial policy. against the
proper maintenance of our National
credit, and in favor of a worse disas Z.
ter than has ever before visited this
country. He decides in favor of
States Rights, he decides that the
war was a failure, he decides that no
man is entitled to vote according to
his sentiments, if another man with
a shot gun objects; he decides that
the United States has no right to pro.
tect the purity of the ballot, nor to
supervise its own elections. In fact,
to every true and loyal man, there
can be no choice in this contest. A
vote for Garfield is a vote for liberty,
law and justice.
1t has been decided by the Con.
gressional and National Republican
Committees to hold a joint consulta-
ton on the 9th of August in New
York, and to invite to it Republicans
of prominence from all parts of the
country. 1t is expected that General
Garfield will be present.
The plan of action for the National
campaign will then be completed in
its smallest detail and the hard work
of the campaign will begin and will
he pushed forward with an energy
that will astonish those Democrats
who have been congratulating them
selves upon Republican dissensions.
The failure of the Democrats to en-
fist the soldiers IN the support Of
Hancock is now apparent to all, and
with this failure goes the one pre-
text for Hancock's nomination. 1t
has been found that the soldiers are
determined to vote as they fought,
and that though they are organizing
it is in support of Garfield.
The people everywhere will note
with satisfaction the reports from
Memphis and other points South,
that there will be no epidemic of
Yellow fever this season.

".Connecticut is a doubtful state,
with the probabilities in favor OF The

Congressman in 1878 the Republicans
carried three of the four districts, the

for Congressional candidates was

DEEK AK, July ZItn, 1851.
About noon yesterday the dwell

Thrasher caught fire from a defective
fiue in the kitchen and threatened to
destroy the entire building, but the
citizens turned out in a body, quickly
reached the spot. and bv their exer.
tions succeeded in saving the main
part of the house. The loss was
slight, as was also the damage to the
furniture by its removal.
The Wing & Wingites enjoyed a
sociable and pleasant little hop on
last Thursday evening. With a
very few exceptions only those were
present who temporarily belong to
the house, but as every room is at
present occupied, there was no lack
of "fair women or brave men," or of
graceful dancers and elegant cos
TUNES. We noticed in one sett the
silver-haired host dancing with one
of his grand daughters, and appar-
emily enjoying the sport as heartily
as he did fifty wears ago. The ball
was kept up to late hour, and when
it closed with the good Old Virginia

that they will inaugurate Hancock

their habit. But how was it in 1861,

GRESHAM SAYS. Congressman
Springer, of Illinois, who is Demo-

speech at Sullivan, Indiana, on the

"The Republican party has nemi-

If there is any thing of which
Democratic newspapers never tire it
Is striving to impress the public
mind with the belief that the Re-
publican party is responsible for the
Electoral Commission bill. Here are
facts: The electoral bill was intro
durpd by Senator Elmunds, of Yer
mont. 1t passed the Senate Jan. %.
1877, and the House the following
day. Itwas strongly opposed by the
leading Republicans, but was sup
ported by the Democrats, who now
seek TO decry what. they themselves
brought about. In the Senate q
Republicans and rs Democrats voted
for the bill, ard 16 Republicans and l
Democrat against it. Among the
Republicans voting against the bill
were Blaine, Cameron, Conoyer,
Hamlin. Morton, Sherman, Dorsey
and others. OF those who did not
vote were Republicans and a Dem
ocrat. Logan, Ferry, Anthony.
Oglesby and Paddock were among
the Republicans who did not vote.
In the House only 81 Republicans
voted for it, while 50 voted against
and refused to vote at all l59 Dem
ocrats voted for it, 10 against it, and
7 did not vote. General Garfield,
Frye, Hulburt, Burchard. and most
of the leading Republicans in the
House voted against the bill. 1t does
not become the Democrats in good
grace to charge the Republicans with
this, because they did not succeed in
stealing the Presidency.

CINCINNATI, May 20.-The general M E conference to-day devoted an hour to the consideration of the question whether the Freedmen's Aid Society should..remain under the same management as formerly, and whether a portion of it's fund should be devoted to the education of whites in the South. No decision was reached. The con- ference then took up the proposed election of a colored bishop. A majority of the commit tee on Episcopacy reported in the affirmative and the minority in the negative. Several animated speeches were made by delegates, both white and colored, and after the debate had continued two hours the matter was in definitely postponed by vote of 229 to 139
