nual interest account over seventy mill
lions per annum. Because that party
believes in the rights of all men,-the
poor as well as the rich, because it has
made this nation a free nation, -because
the present Republican administration is
one of the purest and best for the coun-
try that the nation has ever had. Instance
the fact that of the more than forty
thousand ce-holders, only one public
officer of any consequence (Haight), has
even been charged with any irregular
conduct in office in the past year. Be
cause the public debt is being paid at the
rate of five millions a month, and the in
terest account is constantly being great
ly reduced, and public credit has been
restored; the soldiers and their widows
and orphans have been amply cared for.
We have uniform currency, worth its
face in gold. Our manufacturing inter-
ests are everywhere prosperous. All
classes of people find employment at far
better prices than the laboring classes
are paid in other countries.
To restore the Democratic party to
power now would be to endorse the doc
trines of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee
and Stonewall jackson, and would be a
rebuke to Abraham Lincoln, Charles
Sumner, and to all the soldiers who laid
down their lives for their country, re-
buke to Sherman's resumption policy
which has given us prosperity, rebuke
to all the great measures of reform dur
ing the past twenty years, rebuke to
progress and civilization. 1t would be
turning back the hands of the clock of
time to the days of James Buchanan.
The American people are not ready to
give over the control of the nation solely
to the states that joined in and kept up a
rebellion for five years. / believe the
gallant General Garfield will be triumph
antly elected.
Once more the grand old fight is on, the fight
we've often fought,
And, as we've done these twenty years, wen bring
our foes to naught.
We won with Lincoln, Grant and Hayes, and in this
battles brunt
Wen conquer to the rallying cry-Garfeld,s nj the
front"

Why Col. IngersolI is Not a Democrat.

Colonel Robert IngersoI tells why he
is net Democrat IN the following Ian
guage:
:" am opposed to the Democratic par
ty, and will tell you why. Every state
that ceceded from the United States was
Democratic state. Every ordinance of
secession that was drawn was drawn
by Democrat Every man that
endeayored to tear the old flag
from the heaven that it enriches
was Democrat. A voice Give it to
them. Every man that tried to DESTROY
tins nation was a Democrat. Every
enemy this great republic has had for
twenty years has been a Demo-
crat. Every man that shot Union SOL
dlers was Democrat. ICheers-
:" That's so. " Every man that starved
Union soldiers and refused them in the
extremity of death crust was Demo-
crat. Renewed cheering. Every
man that loved slavery better than lib
erty was Democrat. The man that
assassinated Abraham Lincoln was a
Democrat. Every man that sympa-
thized with the assassin-everv man
glad that the noblest president ever
elected was assassinated-was Demo-
crat. Every man that impaired the
credit OF the United States; every man
that swore we would never redeem the
greenbacks was IL Democrat. Cheers. I
Every man that resisted the draft was a
Democrat. [Cheers. Every man that
wept over the corpse of slavery
was a Democrat. Every man that
cursed Lincoln because he issued the
Proclamation of Emancipation-the
grandest paper since the Declaration of
lndependence-every one of them was a
Democrat. Every man that wanted an
uprising in the north, that wanted to re-
lease the Rebel prisoners that they might
burn down the homes of Union soldiers
above the heads of their wives and chill
dren, while the brave husbands, the
heroic fathers, were in the front fighting
for the honor of the old flag, every one
OF them was a Democrat. Every one
that believed this glorious nation of ours
Is confederacy, every man that believed
the old banner carried by our fathers
through the revolution, through the war
OF 1872, carried by our brothers over the
fields OF the rebellion, simply stood for
contract, simply stood for an agreement,
was Democrat. [Cheers. Every man
who believed that any state could go out
Of the Union at its pleasure; every man
that believed the grand fabric of the
American government could be made to
crumble instantly into dust at the touch
OF treason, was Il Democrat. TCheers.
Soldiers, every scar you have got on
your heroic bodies was given by Dem
ocrat. [Cheers. Every scar, every
arm that is lacking, every limb that is
gone, every scar is a souvenir of Dem
ocrat. .

A Democratic Scheme for Overcoming
A Republican Majority.
From the Evening Wisconsin

From the Evening Wisconsin,
That the Democratic party is one ut
terly without any fixed principles, either
political or moral, every campaign fur
nishes additional evidence. An incl
dent of the Iowa county Democratic
convention, held at Dodgeville few
days since, illustrates, very forcibly,
the disreputable tricks to which this
party is ready to resort to win votes
and prevent that utter overthrow which
would overtake it in all fair contests
before the people. Just before the
close of the convention, it was an
nounced that it was necessary to raise
some money, and Moses M. Strong ex-
planned what it was wanted for besides
the ordinary expenses of the campaign.
He said
We all acknowledge that there are more Re-
pubcans than Democrats in this congressional
district, ard If we elect Judge Col hren, which
l believe we will, it must bes,done by Republic
can votes The question is, how to get these
Republicans to vote for Judge Cothren. They
will come to the polls. of course, expecting to
vote the remainder of the Republican ticket.
Many OF them don't like to scratch their ticket
some of them are ashamed to scratch. My
plan is, to have straight Republican tickets
printed with Judge Cothren's lame on them
in plain, bold faced type-you may head them
" independent Ticket" if you like-and send
one OF these ckets and Democratic ticket in
sealed envelope to every Republ an voter in
the district Many of them viii quietly fold
them up and put them in their vest pockets;
and when they come to the polls AID their Re-
publican friends labor with them they will
pre- mise to do thus and so-these Republicans
II promise to do almost anything-but they
will quietly vote the tickets We have sent them
and the result will not be known until the
votes are counted. have said this with some
reluctance, because some Republicans might
hear me and report our plans. But we give
them notice that we expect TO defeat Mr..
Hsz 5lton in the house Of his friends.
Put in brief form, Strongs PROPOSE
ton amounts to this : The Republicans
outnumber the Democrats in the
district, and if they are left to vote
according to their convictions there is
no hope for the Democratic candidate !;
hence, in order to secure him any chance
whatever of an election, Republicans
must be tricked into voting tor him.
This is an acknowledgment that the
Democratic party has no legitimate
arguments upon which it can appeal to
tEe people for support. Strong's plan
is mud form of the Southern Demo-
cratic methods, and if he were a resident
of the South he would doubtless favor
the shotgun and ballot-box stuffing as
measures Tor securing Democratic VIC
tory.
Strong's plan was heartily approved
by the convention, and liberal subscrip-
lions made to carry II out. Let Repub-
licans see to 1t that the trick fails OF
success,

The New York Sun Gives Tn.

New YORK, October 1S.-The San

heading "No Mincing Matters" where
of the following are extracts: "The
Democrats have sustaineda an unexpected
and Notifying defeat in Indiana and
Ohio. 1t is disastrous and may prove
fatal. 1t is silly to make light of it, and
idle to try to white it away by cunning
calculations and adroit figuring. The
Democrats are beaten, badly beaten.
Whether beaten to death or not is the
only question. 1t has seemed to us that
the whole Democratic campaign was a
series of blunders. The party had one
man, only one, whose immense strength
had been demonstrated on the national
field-Samuel j. Tilden. 1t is
one great pre-eminent name in
the Democratic party. He was a

was statesman, as all his public papers,
especially his letter declining to com

shown. Chlldless, like Washington, he
had only his country to love, and ever
ties of kindred were ruthlessly sundered
by his stern and unrelentiug hand, If
tho faintest blush Of improper practice
rested upon them. SO patriotic, so lofty,
so convincing, was his great letter to the
convention which made the nomination,
That the most adroit and ablest OF MI his

An Address.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The news to-
day of the Republican triumphs in
Ohio and Indiana inspired the thou
sands of government employees in
Washington with feelings of Joy and
elation strikingly in contrast with the
anxiety that has prevailed during the
past few months throughout the vari-
GUS public offices. The Indiana victory
is universally considered in the depart
ments as sure forerunner of Repub-
hcan success in the doubtful States
nextmonth, and therefore as guarantee
OF continued Republican office. holding
for four years more. This feeling Of
lubilation and serene confidence is
expressed on every hand in govern
mental circles, alike by heads eff the
departments and dependent employees,
and IS shared also by Washington Re-
pabllcans, whose judgment is unbiased
by pecuniary needs or personal aspira-
tons. The Democrats, although dis
couraged, insist that the real struggle
is yet to come, and claim that New
York will next month triumphantly de-
termine the Presidential contest in
favor of Hancock and English. The
Republican congressional committee
have tonight issued the following:
To THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS OF THE UNITED
STATts;-" We have met the enemy and they

COTTON CONSUMPTION IN EUROPE.
New York Chronicle. April lo]

We have just received our monthly cable OF

returns are for April. and were published In
Liverpool yesterday, the ninth instant. They

quaint us with the progress making In the cot
ton manufacturing industry of Europe down to
the first of April.
The more Important fact which this. report
discloses is that there has been no further ad
vance this month in consumption In Great
Britain. We published last week In our cotton
report statements which showed that 81, 600 bales
per week, of 400 pounds each. must be about
the limit of the present. spinning capacity In
England, since II we estimate the spindles at
20 900 600 and the use pei, spindle at "a pounds.
the total cannot materially exceed that figure.
We will not occupy space by unnecessarily re-
peating the statements we gave last week on
this subject, but would simply refer our readers
to them. With regard to the continent there is
further increase. the total per week for March
reaching so 0C0 bales Of 400 pounds each. against
$4,000 bales In February. This is In accordance
with our anticipations of last month; and we
may reasonably expect still larger movement

for the whole year Of 1879 was 62313 bales OF 400
