The Democrats here at the Capital are
not happy over the disclosures made in
New York by Senator Wallace's commit
tee. The machine it is alleged is grind
ing out first class Republican campaign
thunder. Davenport shows that while
Ku kluXing and murder did its bloody
work to defeat Republicans in the south,
the Democrats were doing the same thing
in New York in the more humane way of
issuing through the courts fraudulent
naturalization papers. In 1868 only TO-
600 bogus voters were made by Judges
Barnard and McCunn. The evidence
shows that they were turned out by this
machine at the rate of 800 per hour. On
the 18th of October 1868 the number reach
ed the enormous sum of 1920. Even this
method was not sufficient to defeat the
Republicans, and 10000 bogus naturallZa-
tion papers were issued in blank without
any application. For the past % years
these frauds have existed, and these thous-
ands of bogus voters have repeated the
fraud every year they have voted. The
Democratic committees with Tweed, Til
den and others were VIGOROUSLY connect
ed with these frauds, Fernando Wood
and others have here in Congress tried to
manufacture some machine that would
stop the mouth Of Davenport, by impeach-
ment or otherwise and thus silence the
damning evidence that he had and which
is very fortunately just at this Juncture
given to the public.
The reports made to the National Com
mittee here at the Capital show that the
Republican party was never in its history
so thoroughly united as at the present
time, The work of the canvass itself is
thoroughly in hand and all parts of the
country are in close sympathy with the
committee in maturing the plans.
Pity the sorrOws of the poor old man of
cipher alley. He wanted to be President
but his party, on account of faithful ser
vices in the past invited him to preside at
the Democratic jubilatiOn over Hancock
who secured the nomination at Cincinnati
which Tilden was so much desired.
After NOvember's battle with the ballot,
Hancock will be reported as politically
dead, and both these worthless will then be
embalmed and laid away on history's shelf
with ;Valandinham, Lee and others who
were false 10 country and her sacred mem
ories in that time of her sorest need.
The frank, manly and patriotic letter Of
General Arthur accepting the nomination
meets with universal approval. He dis
cusses the question that now confront Re
publicans in a way that satisfies every one
that he is fully competent to fill the high
position to which his party will elevate
him in November.
The Democratic committee are disturb.
ed at the condition of things in Virginia
tits by no means all quiet across the Po
tomao and unless they are able to recon
cile discordant party elements that are
now bitterly opposing each other, the vote
of the state will be cast for Garfield and
Arthur The Republican committee are
on the alert and laying plans for thor
ough canvass OF the old dominion by
some of our most eloquent stump speak
ers.
The state associations which were dis
solved few years since, are now being
reorganized and put in shape for activ'
Camphlgn Work. lntsb OfBdulLhliOu
have in years past rendered great servic,
by writing letters to the press from tn
capital and mailing documents and as
sisting IN sending to their respective vol
ing places all voters dOm2 lied in the Dis
trict. Never before was there as mucl
enthusiasm manifested by the official
and clerks in all the departments. Tn
Johnny rebs who have slipped into place
once held by Union soldiers are beinl
smoked out and spotted. Woe to them II
the coming days Some miserable wanda
conceived the idea of improving the ply
sique of the Democratic candidate, b
cutting off his whiskey, and setting hin
up in business with DR.. Tanner. 1t is per
fectly evident it is alleged that unles
there is a radical change, Hancock ca
never win the presidential race, carryin
such mass Of adipose Democracy, IN

swarms Of democratic office seeks and tn
flood of whiskey smashes, if continue
