DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.

The local Democratic organ unblushingly
asserts that if General GRANT is the candi-
date of the Republican party and "if Mr..
"TMDEN can conciliate the faction that has
"opposed him in his own State,
"he can be elected despite the disinelina-
"tion of many Democrats in the close
Estates" The first "if'' need not stand in
the way-General GRANT is now the fore
most candidate of the Republican party
and the other "if" we leave the organ to
wrestle with. 1t will amuse the boys. The
organ is very doubtful about this "if" how
ever and abandons the Ogre ofCipher Alley
thusly: "Mr. TILDEE is entitled TO great
"respect, to great consideration, but he
"lacks great deal Of being a dictator
Respect He he! Consideration!-Ho no
Excuse us but this is too funny-GoBBLE
So-The Democratic party must have a
DICTATOR, a CESAR, a SEIZER, one who
will not be deferred from intTuding him
seIfon an Office TO which he ia not elected
il he can get 100000 Kentucky rifles, backed
by 100000 Southern shOtguns, TO support
his usurpation. The Republican party un.
derstand the Democratic programme very
well, hence it. is that they will nominate
and elect to the Presidency man who is
a conseryator in peace and who has showr
that he can be dictator when treason Of
rebellion calls the sword of loyalty from ii
scabbard
The organ suggests HoRATIo SEYMOUR
JOEL PARKER, Of New Jersey; W. r. Nor
RIsoN, of Illinois, or Justice FIELD, az Dem
oeratic dictators, and is blind to the mag
nifcent abilities of the Brgadiers anC
'Maiah- Generals who have proven thei
prowess on the tented field,n sab, 80
"treason, stratagem and spoil" Not onl,
blind to the merits of these Southern heroes
but uttotally,w may say insultingly regardless
of them and Of their constituents, and of thei
susceptibilities, is the organ Of the Demo
cratic party, four-flths Of whose voters ar

TIE Democracy in Congress aimed n
blow at the workingmen of the country
when they reduced the pay of the poor
watchmen. The salaries of these men were
established by law over twenty years since.
Their pay has been restored to the olf fig
ure, but they now with justice ask that the
deficiency in their salaries for the year of
reduced pay be awarded them, and equity
demands it to be done.

CITY TREASURER WELCHANs assures
us that the report made to councils by the
special committee, so far as it seems to
show a deficiency in his accounts, is
wholly erroneous, and that he will so
demonstrate to the public shortly. He
says that no explanation was asked from
him by the finance committee of the
figures of the expert report, nor was he
made acquainted with them in any way.
The difficulty with the chairman of the
committee has arisen, he says, from his
declining to charge himself with the
total amount of the tax duplicate.
He refused to charge himself with
anything but moneys actually received
by him; and for these he has accounted
to the city in full. Mr.. Welchans is en-
titled to suspension of judgment until
he is heard but meanwhile we have to
say that if it is true that the special COM
mittee made a report to councils SO
deeply duplicating the city treasurer
without showing it to him and giving
him All opportunity to explain the ap-
parent deficiency, their action was en-
tirely unjustiiable.

SOUTHERN OPINION
On .. Rebel War Clain,s.

On I" Rebel War Clain,s
From private letter received in this city from
New Orleans.
Politics run high in this town. Meetings,
speeches and squabblings rampant. Many
of our citizens (the best) will not take an
active part, will not register they seem
to think all will be we'll, let it go. Money
is all they want.
Hancock's sentiment on Southern claims
meets an echo ami full endorsement by all
true, honest Southrons, and by our rati-
fication meetings will prove to some, and
all of our citizens now domiciliated North
that though We were heavy losers, we were
conquered, we were honest and We have
accepted the situation. We rebelled with
our eyes open we fought on principle !;
we knew the faies and chances of rebel
lion we have realized it, and now want
peace and prosperity for our common
country, with honest rule. AS poor as
am to-day { and have not always been
poor l would not be enriched by the gov
ernment paying me for my loss in slaves
and otherwise were it a possibility.
speak or write the true sentiment of the
thinking Southron.
The claims-now such a "bugbear -
are a myth, and as Hancock says, are not
ouned BY the original sufferers. They are
owned and held by shysters, adventurers
and carpet-bag thieves. l will even &C
further, and say many Of the So
called claims which have been paid
were those mot of Southern Unior
men) Of carpet-bag thieves and followers
of the conquering armies who captured
and deluded individuals, purchasing what
never existed, securing evidence of loss
and dividing the spoils. In all my travel:
since the war-and have been from Mass
achusetts to Texas, New York to Sal
Francisco-I have never met with, seen o.
heard of Southener who received ont
dollar for losses sustained by the war, ant
have seen and known many. Thus, IN!
dear sir, you can state with confidence tha
the South endorse Hancock in his denun
citation of Southern claims, and that th'
said sentiment has given n quietus to sucl
ours as may have been wearing sheep
clothing.

Great Meeting at Oxford.

The Hancock meeting ut Oxford last
evening was the largest political demon
stration that has been seen in Chester
county during the campaign. A monster
torchli:ht procession was held in which
over / 300 men marched, and dozen brass
bands contributed music. Many effective
transparencies were borne aloft, and q fea-
turc Of the parade were the $50 horsemen
from Coleraine township, this county. An
open air meeting was addressed by Hon.
Robert E. Monaghan and other eloquent
speakers, and the spirit Of enthusiasm that
prevailed in the immense assemblage
augurs well for good report from that
region on the 2d of November. The name
of Hancock has stirred the people there
abCuts az never before.
