WASHINGTON, Oct. 15th.-The
Post this morning dsvotes o long
dismal editorial to the tariff issues
for the first time. Hutchins pro.
fesses to be ready to accept the
tariff issue for tho rest OF the cam.
paign and makes a painful effort to
show that the Democrats will gain
by it, because, II they lose New
Jersey. Connecticut and other
Eastern States they will carry I'LL.
nois, Minnesota and Wisconsin for
free trade. While the argument is
simply ludicrous, it demonstrates
to what extremity the Democracy
10 driven for comfort.

New YORK, October 15th.-The
National Democratic Executive
Com mittee met to-day and Issued
the folio wing address to the Demo.
cratic and Conservative voters OF
the country: The election of q Pres.
ident 10 now before you. State and
local dissensions are eliminated
from the Issues Of the day. The
magnitude Of victory or defeat can
only be estimated by the force and
means employed in occurring 1t.
By fraud and corruption the people
OF the country were defeated In
their purpose IN 1879 and the right.
fully elected President was kept
from office. With the com bined
capital of the Republican party,
aided by repeated assessments up
on an army of office.holders; with
the power Of the federal govern.
ment, represented by United
States Marshals, at the polls;
with intimidation, fraud and
resort to every corrurs appliance
known to the Republican methods,
concentrated in two States, our ad.
versaries have succeeded In prOcur.
ing the probable return of their 10.
cal candidates. Can it be possib ible
that, In every State throughout
this broad land, the same methods
can be brought to bear that were
used by the Republican managers
in Indiana and Ohio? Can the
great States of New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, California,
Colorado, Nevada aud New Hamp.
shire be bought, intimidAted and
defrauded ? Even without the vote
of Indiana, which we believe, will
be redeemed in November, with
New York, New Jersey and the
States that are conceded to us, In
Guiding Maine, the election of our
candidates is assured. The Repub.
lican party have put in nomina.
ton for President and Vice.Presi.
dent two men who, by the admls.
sion of their own party
and press. arc unworthy of con-
fidence and of your suffrages.
1t 10 impossible that fifty millions
of intelligent and patriotic people
will consent to place them sci YES
upon the humiliated level thus pre-.
pared for them by the Republican
managers.
Fellow citizens, the days result
at Gettysburg ended on the 8d
with Hancock in the front, and
that glorious victory secured to US
our Union. 1t is.now not only the
preservation Of the Union but of
constitutional government. Han.

the Republic Is now, ms then,
the aim of victory which will &C.

inestimable blessings of civil lib.
