A Jubilant Address.

Chairman j. A. Hubbell, Of the Re-
publican Congressional National Com
mittee, has issued the following address
to the Republicans of the country:
To the Republican Voters of the United
States:
We have met the enemy and they are ours
From Oregon, from Rhode Island, from Yer
mont, from Connecticut, have come recent
voices bearing no uncertain sound, but boom
ing, ringing with the notes Of Republican vic
tory. And now Ohio, giving us at least $4,000
popular majority and l6 of her 20 Congress-
ional Districts and Indiana, giving us from
5000 to l0O0J majority, probably nine of her
10 Congressman, and her Legislature, with its
certain promise of Republican United
States Senator, join their swelling voices with
these shouts of triumph and seem to make our
coming victory sure. The vote of yesterday
is due to the fear Of Democratic ascendency,
Of solid Southern domination, of the ruin to our
industries which would follow Democratic free
trade experiments, of the disasters to business
and laboring and other interests which would
follow a change of Government when all is
prosperous now. 1t means also united North
against vindiotive solid South. We have
pierced the enemy'5 center, but we must not
sleep on our arms We must charge along the
whole line and rout him, horse, foot and
dragoon. Republicans, remember that this is
the last ditch of the Solid South, and that the
desperation of despair is not to be despised.
Stand by your cOlors. Rest not for an instant
Sustain your Committees in the fight for doubt
ful districts. Be vigilant, aggressive, press
ing. The enemy Is in the front, in the rear,
and in the flank, and do not cease your
efforts until complete overwhelming victory
in November shall crown them with assurance
of Republican ascendency and that freedom,
peace and prosperity which will surely accom-
pany 1t. j. A. HUBBELL,
Chairman Republican Committee.

Mr.. Jewell, Chairman Of the National
Republican Committee, has written the

Chairman of the Indiana Republican
State Central Committee:
NEW YoBK, Oct. 10, 1880.
DEAR SIR--The result Of the Ohio and In
diana elections is most gratifying not only TO
the loyal North, but the business interests,
which were largely involved In the results Of
this campaign. Il must eventuate not only In
the election Of Garfield and Arthur, but in Civ
ing us control of both houses Of Congress for
the next four years. Il will give us every
Northern State, and probably two or three
Southern States. l have been thoroughly in
dignant all through the campaign OF slander
and vituperatlon and mud-slinglng. Tho re-
suits Of yesterdays election indicate that
honorable men Of all parties and lovers of
fair play win not quietly see an eminent
citizen villihed and traduoed rs our
candidate has been all through this
campaign. l am greatly delighted to see the
ISLANDERS have recoiled upon the heads of their
malicious inventors. A party, composed rs It
is so largely Of the best men Of the Nation, IS
to great extent responsible for the manners
as well as the morals of politics. This com
mittee has issued millions of pamphlets. II
has not printed one word during the campaign
In regard 10 the Democratic candidate which
one gentleman might not properly say Of an
other. The case went to the Western Jury
yesterday. They find the verdict the Nation
will render In November. 1 am quite content
TO rely upon the intelligence and Justice of the
republican people. MARSHALL JEWELL.

Knock, sixteen miles distant. Thousands
throng the chapel and grounds night

enter the chapel.

Both were comfortably dressed, perfect

one mostly sees. Although only within
some miles distance of the mendicant
Oberland, have been begged to only

He is so well satisfied that Hancock and

These gentlemen all did their level best
to destroy the Government by arms
and, having failed in that, are now
trying to obtain control of it through
the Democratic party. They will all
vote as they shot They can hardly be
blamed. They were educated to hate
Northern ideas and Northern civiliza-
tion, and to believe that Southern ideas
and Southern interests should rule the
country. This was what they fought
for during the war, and what they have
labored and intrigued for since. They
know perfectly well that the election Of
Hancock and English will be a Southern
triumph, and that in such an event, the
South will rule the North. Hence they
are consistent in voting as they shot. =

~ The further the onmnnign M

BsS- The further the campaign pro.
crosses the more difficult does General
Hancock's task become, and the more
obvious is his incapacity to deal withit.
He ought to have understood that all
that was required of him was to keep
quiet and maintain undsturbed that
obscurity in which his political disqual-
itications had, up to the time of his nom
nation, been shrouded His restless
vanity has compelled him, in several
instances, to break in on this secure
course of action, and though in the mat
ter of the rebel claims his action is
creditable to him, it is very far from
placing his party in an enviable light.
The Democratic candidate bids fair, as
the canvass goes on, to prove directly
and indirectly an undesirable person. TO
have conspiouously before the public.
Where he does anything in sympath,
with his party he emphasizes its worst
traits, and where he does anything
manly he brings out only the more
clearly that it is his own party which
suffers from it,-N y Times.

In a whales Mouth and Escaped with
His Life.

HERE I met Capt. Wood, who has
been in a whales mouth. After edging
carefully toward the matter, "A friend in
duced him to tell about it-probably for
the ten thousandth time.
Z" Yes, was standing in the bow of
the boat, with the iron in my hand"
said he, "looking around for his majes-
ty, for thought we had given him his
death-blow. Suddenly up he came
right ahead Of me, and he struck the
boat underneath with his prolonged
lower jaw, knocking it out from under
me, and l fell straight over into his
mouth"
"What did you think thenP" asked a
listener, as the Captain paused.
"Thought was goner," answered
the Captain, especially when he shut
his mouth on me- But he was, FORUM
ately, in the agonies of death, too wor,
ried to think OF me, and after giving me
one savage crunch, he blowed me out of
his mouth, covered with blood. l at
once struck out for the boat"
" And when they picked him up they
thought he was killed." said another
Captain; ''though, after a good while,
he recovered, with the ugly wounds
that you see." There was scar some
inches long across Capt Woods scalp,
and great lump on his side was visible
under his coat.
"What did you think when you were
in his mouth, and knew where you
wereP" asked another bystander.
Thought he'd yield about eight bar
rel, " said Capt. Wood, turning over his
quid and calmly firing at the box of
sawdust. .--Nantucbet Cor. Indianapolis
