OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
WAsnINoToN, D. c., Sept. 6, 80.

hASHlNGTON, II. u, sept. U, oU,
Up to date there is no abatement Of the
intense heat prevailing at the date OF my
last letter. Yesterday was dull day in
the churches, and the morning papers
which usually give us copious extracts Of
church doings aud pulpit sayings, are so
silent and soulless as to lead us to fear that
they have been overcome by unwanted stu.
por, and have neglected to enter in at the
gates where the Salvation Army" is ac.
customed to encamp.
To-day is the opening day for the public
schools OF this city, aud teachers, parents,
| school boards and pupils are alike busy,
tossing in the hot and burning air for space
and opportunity, to regulate and systemat.
ize the admission, transfer and seating OF
the infant world
Much rs has been done during the past
few years to build mp and perfect the edu-
cationa interests of the District, and great
rs has been the appropriations of labor,
time, money and care, it is still apparent
that only mere beginning has been made,
and the streets are full OF children Of all
ages who never see the inside Of school
house nor receive a mOdicum OF moral and
intellectual instruction. They are grow
ing mp in idleness, ignorance and neglect,
to reap the harvest of beggary, want and
crime in the near future, all for lack OF
those means and opportunities which only
good government and attention to their
needs can supply through legislative sane
ton and support.
Thanks to the policy of the great Re-
| publican rarity, its supremacy in this city
has b0en marked and distinguished by ex-
traordinary effort in the direction OF free
schools and popular educni ion and the
| foundation has been laid for ultimate pro
gress and success But should the country
unfortunately fall again under Democratic
rule, there ia every reason TO fear that this
great, this overwhelming interest OF ON
people, will he neglected, and we shall 20
back a long way toward the miserable con
diliOn from which we have so recently
emerged.
We have small fear, however, that thi,
triumph OF the ancient foe is to he permit
ted The signs of the times are still preg
nant with omens, which betokens the re
newed triumph of the Republican cause
and with free ballot, sound finances, ,equa
rights and free schools; all secured, thu
Nation will continue to prosper.
When so much is at stake, the people ar,
to be trusted to keep vigilant watch, ant
they will speak again IN November, AS the,
have spoken for the last twenty years, il
favor OF all thRt pertains to, and truly ad
vances the National greatness.
Let the press of the country everywhere
do its dulilul share in pushing on the fight
and victnry cannot he doubtful or uncer
tain. Tom.

cirles The tricks of the Democratic party
were thoroughly exposed. Was a few days

Democrats had joined the Garfield Club.
The greatest of aIl yet within my no
tice was in the borough OF West Chester,
os 1000 inhabitants, last evening. There
were 16 clubs IN the procession, numbering
| 800, all being from this place except
three which were from adjoining town
ships.
4 Garfield boat club was among the num-
her, having beautifully decorated canal
boat with the inscription, From the ca
nal boat to the White House"
There were about l05 boys dressed in
uniform with red sashes and white ca pa,
called Badwin's Cadets"
They certainly looked nobhy with their
torches aud flags They carried two trans-
parencies with the following appropriate
inscriptions; Z" As the twig is bent the
tree iucines;' y ave boys i'll soon be men,
"Our country's hope;' lOOs'rong" ave
can't vote, but can work :" Make way for
rising generations" As they passed along
they were loudly cheered by the assembled
throng. Among the speakers was DR..
Stebins, who has long been one of the lead
ers and n constant voter in the temperance
party, who said he "now had come to the
conclusion that it was time to do something
else, aud did not think prohibition entered
into this contest" 1t was = rong speech
and loudly applanded. A grand display
OF fire works, and splendid music enlivenel
the occasion. Ii the whole state is as we'll

CHIEF MAGISTRATES.

In selecting person for the chief mag
strate Of the nation, politicians have usu-
ally asked the question, "will he VIM" No
matter who or what the man may be if he
can give polite Il triumph.
This seems to be the policy of the Dem
ocruiic party. Gen. Hancock in the rebell-
ion fought against the rebels. The Demo
crats, ms n party, fought for the rebels.
From that day to this the Democratic par
ty have been one with The rebcls-one, AL
most to man with the "SOlid South"
The Brigaders, the murderers OF Chisholm,
at Hamburg, aud other Southern murder
ers, aud the Democratic party have gone
hand in hnnd-brethren of the same ilk,
stained with the blood OF innocent men,
women and children. The crimes OF the
Solid South have been of the deepest dye
aud the cry of our brothers blood, shed
by the wayside, at the ballot box and in
their own homes, goes up TO heaven for
vengeance today. Now under the cover
OF Union general the Democrats ask Us to
give them the power to rule this nation.
The whole Democratic party, foul with the
crime Of treason, headed by Gen Hancock
! Is anybody deceived? Soldiers of the I'm.
| ion army are you about to give the Dem
cock at the head of their columns? Ru-
tie Snakes aud Copper-heads u Where
were they when you fought ut Bull Run
and Gettyshurg9 Do our Southern friends
and the great Democratic party expect to
win the day by putting mp General Han
cock for figure head =? II anybody
thinks that the American people o9n he
taken in by such thin stuff he onght Ia
have been ia Libby and Andersonvlle
long enough To get his eyes open. But
the Democratic party and the border and
Southern ruhians are patriots now !" Pray
| when did they get converted What have
been The signs of conversion? Were the
tissue votes with which they stuiied the
hallot-box, good sign Of conversion
Was the conduct Of The hrigadiers whom
they sent Ia Congress a good sign? "Oh
! but they have 0en. Hancock at the head
| 0f the column aud Gen. Hancock gained
the battle at Gettysburg; lie fought Tor hi,
country and he's patriot" Pretty good
logic? lIal But fighting men use strategy
sometimes. The devil hides his oloven
foot. lie puts on fair face. lie trans
forms himself into an angel Of light. But
look out. lie is devil all the same. Poor
| Hancock and some others will find that pol
itics will stuff and act up man lor polit'

Republican Meeting nt Tontognnr.

A special correspondent from Tontogany
to the Toledo Commercial has the following
to say concerning the Republican meeting
at that village on SaturdaT: The Republi
cans of Tontogany and vicinity, which by
way are the majority, are true blue and
loyal to the cause. Last Saturday was the
day set for their pole raising A large ash
pole, l30 feet long was provided, and the
work OF raising the pole began at 3 p. NJ,
and under the able management of Capt
John w. MeColley, cup she went, and
don't you forget it," and by o'clock p. NJ,
the stars and stripes wer0 floating over a
large multitude ef people. Three rousing
cheers an tiger were then given with a
vigor for General Garfield and the Repub,
lican party. At o'clock a supper was
given at Whtmore's Hall, by the ladies oi
Tontogany, where 500 people wore fed. Al
o'clock the Bowling Green Cornct Band
arrived, accompanied by the Garfield
Guards, of the latter place, with Major
Swigart, who as usual made telling
speech to the Republicans and others
present.
