There has been great deal too much eX-

strength of Mr.. Ti!den secured more than
90, 900 Republican voters. Perhaps the claim
was extravagant, but it was true that many
thousand Republicans did vote for Mr. 1llden
in 1876, partly because OF confidence IN him
and partly because of the hard times, who

RE 4NOtS IH y

"Why should | vote the Republican ticket T.
asks the young man who has just reached
his majority, and is DESTROYS OF making con-
scientous choice between the two parties
which solicit his ballot. Here are few reasons
why:
Because the Republican party is the only
party which has no cause to be ashamed OF its
past IccOld.
Because it began its existence by resisting
the extension of the curse OF human slavery to
the free Territories of the West.
Because il fought a four Yeas war TO save
the Union from being broken into fragments,
and CONQUERED the most formidable rebellion
known to history.
Because it emancipated four millions Of
slaves, and gave them the right to life, llb-
"eity, and the pursuit of happiness which the
Declaration of independence pronounced to
be the inalienabe right of all mankind.
Because by en- amendment to the Constitution
it forbade the States to deprive any citizen
of the ballot on account OF the color OF lis
skin. II lis making suffrage national and i'm
partial.
Because, in a struggle of ten years duration,
it steadfastly and successfully defended the
national honor against the assaults of repudia-
tons, and pat the credit of the United States
on a par with that Of the other GIeat civilized
nations of the world.
Because it made good the Nations promise to
the holders of its gTeenback notes that they
should be redeemed in coin, bringing the whole
volume Of the paper currency up to par with
gold by the passage of the resumption act, in
spite of the persistent hostility Of the Demo
eats.
Because it provided the country with the
safest and best banking system known 10 the
world, aud rescued it from the evils of the
former irresponsible State banking system.
Because it has always hOnolcd labor and has
recognized its right to comfort and education,
by tariff which protects the American working
man against the competition of the paupeIized
laborers of Europe.
Because it believes in the education of the
masses and has given free schools to fourteen
States Of the Union which had no system for
general, impartial education until after the
reconstruction which followed the war.
Because it has warmly maintained the results
of the war, and constantly asserted and
defended the great principles of nationality,
liberty, and equality.
Because it stands to-day for q pure ballot
uncontrolled 10y intimidation and undefied by
fraud and for government by the freely ex-
pressed will of the majority.
Because it is the party of ideas, principles,
and pre- gress, and embraces in its ranks large
majority of the men of intelligence, culture, en-
terprise, and high character i'll every Northern
community.
Because the party which saved the Republic
from disruDtion and made it free, strong,
honest, and honored of all nations, can best be
trusted to manage It's Government and mould

an advance against the victorious army en-
canned under the walls of Candahar.
The march from Cabul to Candahar De1an
ON August and ended on September z. Inc
distance was $40 miles, over as bad roads ~
An army ever marched. 1t has been MADE
in twenty-five days or marches, including
balts Mt Ghuzni and Khelat-i-Ghilzai. Under
the circumstances this is remarkable achieve
ment for although the army has suDsisteu OH
the country to n great extent ana mas peeh
unincumbered with heavy artillery, column
of 10000 men, however lightly equipped
must take with it large quantity OF supplies
and ample reserves of ammunition, and,
moreover, must carry the SICK along
with it through the enemy's district
Without accident and without ueiay'
the flying column has forced Its way from
one capital to the other with the precision Oh
machinery. On the day appointed the ad-
vance guard appears before the gates OF
Candabar. and within forty-eight hours the
whole column, reinforced by the garrison,
offers battle to the Afghans, apparently with-
out waiting for the arrival or Geherai
Phayres force from Quettah. This mornings
cable dispatches bear tidings OF an over
whelming victory for the British forces. III Is
only another proof of the general principle
that audacity wins in war. 1t is, also, con-
spicuOus illustration Of the sound Judgment
and brilliant generalship of the British stan.
This wonderful march and the triumph OF
the combined forces in the field have restored
British prestige in Southern AfghanlStan' on
advance in the direction of Herat Is no longer
necessary. The defeat OF General burrows
has been retrieved. The remnant of the gar
rison ut Cabu has reached the Indian frontier
in safety. The new ANGER Is showing con
siderable executive capacity, and his influence
is unmpaired by any Illuminating conditions
of dependence upon an army OF occupation.
His most conspicuous rival has been crushed
in the open field, and the remaining chiefs VIII
undoubtedly return to their allegiance. Inc
retreat of the main column from Cabul VIA
Candahar and the battlefield can now be re-
sumed with flying coOrS A single question
remains unsettled the future OF Candahar,
whether a British garrison is to be stationed
there permanently to support the wan rec0g-
nized by Lord LyttOn, or whether the whole dis
trict is to be reannexed to the Ameer's domln-
ions. If the VIcerOy and the military staff take
the latter course the pacGcation of Afghan
istan will be completed. The lingo element in
England will raise shrill outcries against
this policy, but il is the only sensible course
that can be adopted. Government by proxy
has failed twice within two years, and will be
liable to break down at any moment If the
hazardous experiment be repeated. The Eng
lish people are weary of policy OF adventure
among the Afghan hills. They will support
Home Government which not only contrives
to get out of Afghanistan with honor, but
makes up its mind resolutely to stay out and
is under no obligations TO go back.

TIE PROGRESS or THE CAMPAIGN.


There is a little danger that Republicans
may become Over-contdent. At the outset,
everything prompted faithful, earnest and pa
tent work. and they set at it like veterans
But the course of the campaign, for several
weeks, has been calculated to make Republic
cans exceedingly hopeful The fusion in Maine
has failed to fuse. The possibility of a third
party diversion by Butler in Massachusetts is
removed. The Democratic factions III New
York have spent the time iii efforts to patch
up a truce. The wrangle among Democrats
in Indiana has become notorious. All the
signs have seemed to indicate that Republic
can victory could be won by proper effort,
and the danger is that some may act as if it
were won already.
The victorious general is one who never
undertakes the strength of his opponents. The
Democrats will not be beaten i'll this cam
paign witlOu a severe struggle and hard
work Maine they have virtually Abandoned
but Maine has given Republican maiorlties 50
long that a Democratic defeat III that State.
in place of the victory so confidently prom
ised few weeks ago, will not fatally dis
hearten the Democrats elsewhere. Their eff
forts in Indiana are all the more dangerous
because there is little said about them. Mr.
English will not be defeated if it is possible
to win by buying OF colonizng voters. He
claims to be exceedingly confident of sue
cess and his friends who were much dscour-
aged recently, seem disposed to rely largely up
on his capacity for underground work. When
their meetings are slender, and descrtions of
voters become known, the Democrats escape
disheartenment by rejecting that English aud
his work will not be heard from until the
polls close. There are two possibilities in that
State. which Republicans should not overlook.
One is that the Alabama method may be openly
and boldly employed in a State having a Dem
ocratic government and Democratic officials IN
many counties. A certainty that the returns
from Democratic counties would not be fraud
ulenilv doct0red would be worth thousands

the campaign in Afghanlstan. Without refer
ence to the splendid victory which has

Cured at a critical moment when an Ameer
had been recognized ut Cabul and the staff
were preparing to evacuatc the capital The
necessity for an immediate withdrawal of the

that an Ameer who depended upon
them for support could not retain his
influence over the tribes. The army must re-

fatal reputation of being British instead of
an Afghan Ameer. Yet how was it possible
