tive Comnaseso@
TO the Democratic and Gosssrroive 70
terra Of tie Country:
The election of President and Vice
President is before you. State and local
dissensions are eliminated from the issues
of the day. The magnitude of victory
or defeat can only be estimated by the
forces and means employed in securing it.
BY fraud and corruption the people of
the country were defeated in their pur-
pose in 1876, and the rightfully elected
President was kept from Office. With
the combined capital of the Republican
party, aided by repeated assessments
upon an army of Office holders with the
power of the Federal Government repre-
sented by United States marshals at the
polls; with intimidation, fraud and re-
sort to every corrupt appliance known to
Republican methods, concentrated in two
States, our adversaries have succeeded in
procuring the probable return of their
local candidates. Can it be possible that
in every State throughout this broad land
the same methods can be brought to bear
that were used by the Republican man.
ayers in Indiana and Ohio? Can the
great States of New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, California, Colorado, Neva-
da and New Hampshire be bought, intim-
idated and defrauded? Even without the
vote of Indiana, which we believe will
be redeemed in November, with New
York and New Jersey and States that are
conceded to us, including Maine, the elec-
tion of our candidate is assured.
The Republican party have put in nom-
ination for President and Vice President
two men who, by the admission of their
own party and press, are unworthy Of
your confidence and your suffrages. 1t
is impossible that fifty millions of inteIli-
gent and patriotic people will consent to
place themselves upon the humiliating
level thus prepared for them by the Re
publican managers.
FellOw-citizens, the first days repulse
at Gettysburg ended on the third, with
Hancock in the front, in glorious victory.
That victory secured us our Union. The
question is not now the preservation of
the Union, but of constitutional govern
ment- Hancock is now, as then, in 'front.'
The repulse is now as then, an omen of
victory, which will secure to coming gen.
erations the inestimable blessings of civil
liberty.
By order of the National Democratic
Committee. WIN. H BARNUH,
Chairman.

\ Miserable Sinner.

There was a remarkable scene Oi excilem cut in the First Congregational Church al Colum bus, O at the close of the morning service on- Sunday Some weeks ago a stranger, who had been at church several successive Sun days. asked the sexton to give him a front seal. as he could moi hear well. The request was granted. In the seat before him il was the custom of the dcacnns to place the contribution boxes, with the weekly offerings of ihe members in envelopes.
 One Sunday little girl saw the stranger slip five envelopes from the basket 10 his pocket. This led a couple of deaconS to watch him during prayer. Just before the close of lhe SCI vice the stranger was discovered in the act of pocketing the contents of the baskets One ot the dracOns took the man by the arm while another went for an officer.
 Meantime the prisoner planted a sockdolager upon the nose Of his cap tor, a prominent business man. and made break for liberty, followed by about half the male portion of the con Cregation, including the pastor, Rev D.. Hutchins. The fugitive was cap. turcd, the stolen money found on his person, and the prisoner locked up Il is estimated that he has stolen from week to week enough to make a com. fortable salary, as the church is one of the most prominent and wealthy in the city, and the contributions always liberal. The prisoner gave his name as Harry Arlhams, and says he belongs to Marion county.

Con. Arizona Notes.

The latest news from the Con. Ari- zona is to the effect that the mill building is finished, and ihe machin- cry is being put in place as fast as possihle. The retorts and melting house are finished, and as the mH- ehinery was all tested for three days at San Francisco before it was shipped, the logical conclusion is that, inas- much as the rich ore is piled up and waiting for the stamps, the next month will see the Con. Arizona mill one of the bullion takers Of the T Territory.
 Al the mine the main shaft is being sunk for the 2O0-foot level and is down oyer 40 feet from the fist level. We did not learn whether 50-foot levels would be run or not. The drifts on ,he 1OO.fcot level are being pushed as fast as night and day shifts can push them The new hoisting works are bel ng housed in, and all preparations being made for the time when the Su- perintendent Of the mill shall say go.
 The Silver Eagle, the north exten- sion of the Con. Arizona, and one or tle most promising mines in Arivaca District, is booming ahead with such energy that il bids fair 10 beat the Con. Arizona in point of development. The new shaft has reached depth of 100 feet, and drifts are being run both ways on the vein as fast as is possible with the present hoisting capacity. New steam hoisting works of the most improved pattern will soon be on the ground, and then such race as we like to sec will take place between the two mines.

Littie Novel.

Mir Froude sends Us the following little novel, says the Chicago Tribune
 IL was autumn.
 Yes merry. golden-tinted autumn. The sun poured down its mellow rays on the laughing fields of grain, aud all nature seemed to rejoicein the glad. ness of the ample harvest The little birds ,wittered and sang their sweet. es; and cheeriest notes in he tranches of The oak trees that sKlrted the foot of q cloud topped hill, while the big ones -at still and looked at them. Far aHay Co the right lay vast marsa, iu which water ccsses, sweet-smelling sedges. and bullfrOgs gently mingled,
 Don't forget that Il was pretty sight.
 Suddenly a boa, is seen shooting ou, from the mossy banks that encircle the marsh like a chaplet of laurel. In The little craft are seated Q young man and q maiden; he sirOng-limbed and handsome. his face bronzed by the kIsses of the burning sun and sweet scent laden breeZes; she fair and deli cate like the lily, or a Chicago base ball club.
 With powerful strokes be sends the boat shooting through the water, while the nipples fall away on either side Suddenly the maiden utters faint shriek, and a pallUr o'erspreads hel lovely counteIance.
 She has seen a bullfrog.
 One hand dropped nerveless by hel side, and from it fell her hat-a dainty thing of straw and canvass trimmed with flowers. The young man at once plunged into the water to recover tho hat. The cruel waves closed over hi. fair young head, the las; thing seer being the parting in the middle of it
 But he omitted t' come up again.
 After waiting unul II was betting point that he had gone to stay, th' maiden rose in the bat and gave , dispalring shriek.
 .' Dead, dead for a duck hat, -h' moaned, and fell over starbuard side never knowing that she had 2 t of ! good thing.
 That night the sexton in little vii lagc near the lake laid down pair ani he was moi playing poker either The pair was the two lOyerS who haC died that day, and had been fished ou in the evening.
 But where was the bulllr5g that haC caused the calamity?
 Oh, where. indeed?

And he tells Us how he once followed man with the ugliest mug he ever saw, and found that he was carrying food 10 a sick and destitute widow with six chil dreu. A great believer in FhackeTay, having read and pondered over the story, selected a man with viliaiuous face one day, followed him up an alley To see what widow be Was going to relieve, when the villainous man knocked him down and stamped on him. And when he crawled out of the alley some time after his watch and money were gone. He thinks he will rely on appearances in the future.

 EDITOR CITIZEN: The oil mining camp known as Ralston up to about 8 year ago, and which has undergone many adversities, caused by Indian deprcdations and the bid management of the miuing interests, is now on the road to prosperity. At one time since the camp was first established it has been entirely abandoned, and to with in few months no developments Of any importance have ever been made, more than the assessment work having been done on a few locations, as it was claimed that the ores were Of a too low a grade 10 pay for working. But now that the Good Hope Gold and Silver Mining Company, the Shakes pcare Company and others have com menced ope rations in earnest, the re- suits of their labors has already proven this 10 be mistake.
 The Good Hope company, whose capital stock is $IOOO0,OO0, are doing a great deal in the way of developing their mines, and find the ores t0 be much better as they go down, both in grid and silver. All necessary machin cry will scon be put into operation.
