GENERAL IRWIN MCDOWELL passed
through Cleveland last Thursday, en-
route from the Pacific coast to New
York, to cast his vote for General Gar
field. His trip is a significant one. AS
a brother officer, acquainted with his
character and ability, he travels four
thousand miles to enter his protest
against the election of Hancock. He
gives his voice and vote for his fellow
officer and fellow-citiZen, General Gar
field, with whose character and fitness
for the Office he is well acquainted. An
other thing he testifes by his trip. He
shows his belief that the Republican
party and its principles are necessary to
the preservation of our Government.
Bus ness men sometimes think that they
have not time TO attend to politics. This
journey brings lesson to them. Itex-
horts them not to fail of personal partic-
ipation in political matters.

Letter from Elihu b. Washburne.

Mr.. VIM. Bradley, of Chicago, has re-
ceived the following letter from the
Hon. E. b. Washburne, who was, at the
time of writing, in Bohemia:
CARLSBAD, BOHEMIA, Sept. IS, 1880.
DEAR Mr.. BRADLEY-When l said
"goodby" to you an hour or two before
leaving home on the 22d of July last, |
expressed a hope that, in view of the
Presidential election, l would not be
compelled to be absent more than eight
or ten weeks. Never have | been more
anxious to participate in a political
campaign than in the present one, and
never, in my judgment, has there been
a time when the Republican party had
a stronger claim upon the support of all
its loyal members. Nothing but the
imperative demands of health could
have induced me to leave home. / would
have wished to strengthen the hands of
our friends, not only in Illinois, but else
where, according to the full measure of
my ability. And now, since it is claim
ed that there has been Republican re-
verse in Maine, regret more than ever
my absence from the country, and my
inability to aid in achieving what l still
believe will be complete victory in
November. l regret to say, however,
that my health has not improved as
much as had reason to hope it would.
Instead, therefore, of leaving for home
by the middle of September, my medi-
Cal advisers have insisted upon my ma
king a full cure at these celebrated wa
ters. To accomplish that 1 will be de-
tanned week or ten days longer. 1t is
particularly insisted by returning SOON
er and entering a political canvass
would be in danger Cf losing all Mat
may have gained by coming over here
Still, if l can procure passage, l will
leave Bremen for New York ON the 10th
proximo, so as to reach Chicago in sea-
son to give full week to the work of
the canvass. At any rate, if live, l
shall be home to discharge the most
important of all duties, that of voting
the whole Republican ticket in Novem-
ber.
Recognizing the supreme Importance
to the country of the election of the Re-
ticket for the President and
Vice President am not only intensely
interested in its success, but the success
Of our cause in Illinois. Garfield and
Cullom must not only carry the State |
but Cook county must |
give one of its most impUsing Republi- |
:an majorities, and elect all the Repub-
ican candidates for Congress.
Very truly yours,
E. b. WAsHEURNE.

"a TARIFF for revenue only" is what
the so-called Democrats advocate. The
workingmen in our factories, who have
such tremendous interest in this ques-
ton, and our farmers, too, whom they
furnish home market, should under
stand fully what "a tariff for revenue"
means. 1t means a tax on articles which
are not produced in this country. as tea
and coffee. A tariff for protection
means tax on articles which come in
to competition with American manufac-
lures. The former means the destruc-
tion of American manufactures; the
latter means their perpetuation. Wnen
Hancock talks about tariff for revenue
only being incidentally protective he
talks nonsense, or worse.
"a tariff for revenue only" would
bring deselation into thousands of
homes in this great manufacturing State.
1t would remove our markets from
Wheeling, Bridgeport, Bellaire and Mar
tins Ferry abroad, and thus directly
work injury to every farmer and produ-
Ger in the country. 100.

THE so-called Democratic papers of
this county are filled with the old-time
Democratic abuse and villifcation of
everybody and everything opposed to
their way of thinking. Their abuse and
slang is sweeping and indiscriminate-
No one who raises his voice for the Re
publican cause, be he ever so good cit
izen, escapes abuse and vituperation at
their hands.

THE CINCINNATI GAZETTE
L 8 8 L

The GAZETTE is
Republican in politics.
The world is its field.
Its ability and integri-
ty are unquestiohable.
1t is fearless and fair
in the discussion of all
questions. The litera>
ry and news columns
of the Gazette meet the
wants of every family;
and its agricultural de-
partment is invaluable
to every farmer. The
'Rockery' or chlldren's
department is full of
interest to both young
and old. The Home
Talk is a department
edited with extreme
care. Through this de-
partment the wives and
daughters of farmers
enjoy a sort of social
reunion and give to
each other the benefit
of practical experience
in cooke v and domes-
tic economy.
The Gazette ought to
be in every family in
the land during 1881.
Leave your subscrip>
ton with the Post
master.

can voter in your respective election
districts. All of you! by all means see
that such arrangements are thoroughly
perfected and energetically carried out.

A New York dispatch of Saturday

A New YORK dispatch of Saturday
says:
1t was expected that General Hancock
would register Saturday in the first cleo
tion district of the First Assembly Dis
trict of New York, and large number
congregated at the place of registry to
witness the occurrence. Late in the af-
ternoon member of General Hancock s
staff appeared and notified the inspectors
that General Hancock had concluded
not to register, for, being Pennsylva-
MAN, he was of opinion it might excite
adverse comment should he register and
vote in New Y ork.
The General probably remembers that
the matter of citizenship is local one,
which was up in his native town when
he was a boy.

THE better class of Democrats of St
Clairsville disapprove the attack made
upon some colOred men Saturday eve
ming, indeed, some Of them declare that
Rice did mol get what he deserved. New
ertheless, that attack is the legitimate
fruit of the teachings of that party
For fifty years so-called Democratic ora
tors and newspapers have taken pains to
cultivate in the minds of their followers
a prejudice against the colOred race
This has been done so carefully and SO
persistently that it is not surprising un-
thinking persons Of that organization
should conclude that cOlOred men have
no rights whatever. When the colored
club first made its appearance ON our
streets women who, no doubt, regard
themselves emInently respectable. stood
in their doors and made very uncompll-
mentary remarks about the colored race
speaking out, so that passers upon the
sidewalk should understand clearly their
sentiments concerning the fiagrancy OF
colored men parading and cheering for
their favorite.
So far as their movements have come
under our observation, the colored men
have behaved admirably. One of them,
it seems, hunted down by human blood
hounds and abused until the abuse be-
came intOlerable, turned upon his assail-
ant and gave him terrible beating
Some of the Democrats say he did right
all Republicans concur in that opinion
and we repeat the declaration that Re
publicanS, white and black, mean to de-
fend the right of these men to assemble
in public meetings, to march through our
streets in procession, and to cheer for
Garfield. They must have all rights ac-
corded auy other political club.

JUST before the October election the
St. Clairsville Gazette urged "eyery
Democrat in the county" to "give his
whole time from now until the election"
to the Democratic cause, and in the same
column threatened that if any Republi-
can business man did the same thing
Democrats would not buy goods of him.
The Gazette and its echo at Bellaire are
repeating this threat. Republicans did
not scare a month ago, and they will
not now.
