A ACOntrast
Baltimore Gazette.
A few years ago no public man in the
country was held in higher or more gen.
eral esteem than William NJ. Evarts.
Thoughtful member of both parties re-
garded him as politician of elevated and
independent views, who if called upon to
fill an important cabinet position would
not fail to exhibit the best virtues of the
statesman and the patriot. Only four
years ago Mr.. Evarts, in his famous
Centennial Grafton, breathed the lofty
sentiment Of one who placed his coan-
try's good above party veal or woe, and
had he retired from public life at that mo-
ment he would have left behind the fairest
of regulations. But unfortunately within
six months thereafter he was called upon
to defend before the bar Of public opinion
one of the gravest crimes against popular
liberty that was ever cOmmitted-the
monstrous electoral fraud of 1876. With
shameful alacrity Mr.. Evarts descended
from his lofty pedestal to wade in the mud
and filth Of that diSgraceful struggle. As
the advocate of Hayes before the electoral
tribunal he labored with all the casuistry
of the shrewdest and most INSCRIPTIONS of
barristers, ,apparently;forgetting altogether
those elevated precepts Of political moral
ity which he had inculcated in his Centen-
NAL grafton of only few short months
before. Mr.. Evarts's cause triumphed
through forgery and theft. AS his reward
he secured the Office Of secretary of state
under the fraudulent president. appar-
emily his connection with that outrage has
dulled his conscience for we now find him
apologizing for the very things which he
once so earnestly condemned. In his speech
in New York ON Wednesday night Mr..
Evarts deliberately and elaborately stulti-
fed himself by making the narrowest par
+ san argument that has get temanated from
any Republican speaker in this campaign.
His address, in fact, abounded with state
| ments which are maliciously false and un-
| fair, and his reference to Mr.. English was
| worthy of the meanest of stalwart editors.
| The worst of it all is that Mr.. Everts knows
perfectly we'll ,,that there is not the ghost
of chaance for the Republican cause, and
| that, therefore, his voluntary surrender OF
his political virtue is as unnecessary, even
on the score of self-interest, as it is base
and wicked. Democrats have no cause tc
harass themselves over Mr.. Evarts's course
however; for he himself has provided con
elusive answer to his own labored periods
and all Democrats need do in order to ex
hibit his gross insincerity in vivid colors i:
to place his Centennial Grafton and hi:
New York speech side by side and thel
say to the people: 'Look upon this picture
and on this"

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
GEN. ADAM e. KING.

Republican Meeting at the Court House.
There was good audience at the court
house last night to hear Gen. Adam f..
King, of Baltimore. The general is flu
ent speaker, and was listened to atten-
lively for two hours. He began by divid-
inc the Democrats into three classes
War Democrats, Copperheads and South
ern Democrats. The first he praised high
", and was surprised they should stay ''in
such Guessed bad company. In the second
he included the great mass of Northern
Democrats, and he denounced them with.
out stint, as "doughfaces, false to them:
selyes-to their country and to God"
The third class he could excuse the
Southerners were educated on wrong
principles and were very good fellows-and
far be it from me to say aught against
them"
He alleged that the Southern Democrats
have the brain, skill and nerve OF tht
party, and insisted that Hancock, it elected.
would be powerless to resist their demands
and hence Southern claims would have
to be paid.
He justified the electoral fraud of 1876
and bitterly denounced the Tilden and Re
form movement and asserted that the sup
porters of Tilden were composed OF the
rery worst elements of the country.
On the tariff he was quite eloquent, but
said nothing new. 1t was the old stock il
trade argument.
The bloody shirt was not waved much.
but the general said, "1n the South III, OO(
men were killed for opinion sake and
would rise as witnesses before the bal
of God on the last day."
The general closed with an appeal to the
old soldiers to rally around the flag.
He spoke highly Of Hancock, and re,
gretted that political principles compelled
him to refuse the general his support. u
Gen. Garfield he said but little, and never
pretended to defend him against the
many charges made by the Democrats.
1t was we'll prepared, and we'll deliv.
cred speech. interviewer with touching ep
isodes and witty illustrations, but it wal
without point or argument. The genera
knew his part we'll, for he ''had been speak
ing 40 days in Maine" and probably repeat
ing the same thing. May the success HI
met in Maine attend him as he goes West
ward to rally the boys.
Had Mr.. Kings speech not been so lOnl
Hay Brown could have had . chance. Blu
he hadn't; and as the audience preferred
seeing the Democratic parade to hearing
him, his explanation of why he broush
$4,000 to Lancaster to secure instruc
tions for Grant and Quay had to bc post
poncd.

Stage Robbers,

,t A stage coach wa: $, stopped topped si, by six

A. P. Mann, assistant engineer on the St.

Mr.. Champlin attempted to draw a re-
volver, but was admonished to keep quiet
by one of the robbers putting a bullet
through his coat sleeve. The other pas
sengers threw away theic pocketbooks
containing $1,000, when the stage was
stopped, and recovered them after the

Hancock, in publicly declaring that he
will, if elected, veto all bills looking to the
payment of rebel claims, shows that he
understands how much his party is dis
trusted. No one has thought Of asking
Garfield or any other Republican candidate
to make such declaration.-Reading Times
and Dispatch.
It's entirely unnecessary to ask General
Garfeld's views on the subject-as his
record has been made so decidedly that
none can misinterpret it. He voted fol
one hundred millions Of Southern wal
claims, which were paid to that extent
while the Republicans controlled Congress,
and he couldn't declare now that all such
bills would be vetoed if he should be elect
ed president. Philadelphia Times.

Mr.. WM. 81. SIMPSON, whilom the
staunch Democratic editor of the Belfast
Me Journal, but who fell from grace
couple of years since and carried his
newspaper with him along over to the
Republican fold, has retired from his
position as leading editorial writer and
proprietor of that now rank Republican
organ. We are glad to have the assur-
ance of Editor Simpson in his retire
ment that the INTELL1GENCER is mis-
taken in supposing that there has been
any intention on the part of Governor
Davis to suppress enough of the Dem
ocratic vote to re-elect himself, . and
that that individual I" has no more con-
troll over the election returns than the
editor of the INTELLIGENCER." The
Journal has the honesty to admit that
Gen. Plaisted has plurality of the votes
and declares its conviction that he will
be seated as governor. Has the Eeanl-
iner heard the news from Maine yet ?

by taking him before justice Of the peace

The law provides fine Of five dollars for
each bird thus slaughtered out of season.
The fact that the dominic was just four

for at least four days more.-7fmes.
