A solid Democratic delegation to Congress,
and that the Democrats have already

didate this year?
The answer is plain enough. They do
not intend that the Republican party
shall cast its vote in Alabama. They ex.
pect to override popular majority against
them by fraud and terrorism.
What is true Of Alabama is still more
true Of Mississippi. This State is over.
whelmlpgly Republican, and yetit is solid
in Congress for the Democratic party, and
is counted solid for Hancock and English.
It's $1,000 Republican votes will have no
weight or voice any more than the cries
Of the children OF Israel in Egypt. They
are stricken down by Democratic terror
ism.
In 1868 the State Of South Carolina gave
62,SOl votes for Grant, as against 45,2S7
for Seymour. In 1872 1t gave Y, 200 votes
for Grant, as against 22,7O4 for Greeley.
Whereas this immense Republican vote
to.dayP Why is it without a single rep
resentatiye in either House OF CongressP
The explanation is found in the tragic
scenes that attended the canvass in 1876
the story OF Red Shirt riders and tissue
ballots.
And SO we might go on and speak Of
Louisiana and Florida. They too are Re-
publican States, but the Republican party
| is practically disfranchised in them. Il
has no rights that the Democratic party
(which is only another name for the armed
rebellion in those States) feels bound To
respect.
This is the condition that the United
States OF America finds itself in on the
10Th anniversary Of its independence
This being the case, can We say that we
have as yet solved the problem Of Lin
coins celebrated speech, whether gov
eminent OF the people by the people ant
| for the people can endure in this country.
| 1t is maniiestly certain that we have mo-
such government in practice to-day.
The peculiarly unrepublican character
OF our government to-day in the South Ii
that ali these disiranchised people ar
counted against the balance OF the country
for purposes of representation in Congress
The Republicans Of the South, although
thus DISTINGUISHED, by their enumeration
n the census have given the South many
members of Congress. They are enumer
ated, taxed and disfranchised by the Dem
ocratic party.
AS long as such state Of things as thi
\ is not only possible in one.half of the re
public, but is counted on with certain sor
Of expectancy, as II twas to be tolerated
without serious resistance, it is a farce Il
talk about the anniversary Of American
independence having sacred Significance
in the estimation Of the civilized world
| In England such wholesale invasion o
popular rights would not be permitted toI
day. 1t lis only in the Great Republic
the new world that it is permitted.
And yet the Democratic party clamon
in Congress against the restraint of Mar
shals and Deputy Marshals. 1t desires
not only to capture the popular vote o.
the South by such means, but also to cap
ture by fraud the vote Of the great cities
Of the North.

t;on ar the rights OF Americans, we are Of
oninion that independence OF action and
good organization are necessary among our
| fTish citizens, in order to secure the inhu'
euce and privileges TO which they are en-
titled. The Germans are consolidated by

II the Irish were more independent Of
party and showed more respect for them
selves by supporting good and worthy
candidates for Office, no matter by whom

THE Risks on FIRE INSURANCE CoMPA'
srrs.-The New York Bulletin publishes
the results Of correspondence with the
insurance officials OF twenty.six States OF
the Union, which 1t had undertaken for
the purpose OF ascertaining the number
Of insurance companies that had been
wrecked, or had Withdrawn from BUSH
ness, within the past ten years. The sta.
tistics, given by States, show that thetotal
number Of companies that disappeared
within that period was three hundred, rep
resenting assets estimated as aggregating
some eighty-seven millions Of dollars. Oh
these local companies, either wrecked or
disbanded, filty.two hailed from New
York, with total Of assets amounting to
eighteen millions Of dollars. Thirty-three
from Ohio, assets ten millions. Twenty
eight from Massachusetts, assets fifteen
millions. Thirty.seyen from Illinois, as
sets ten millions. Twenty.eight from
Pennsylvania, assets seven millions. Thir-
teen from Maryland, assets two millions.
The assets Of the other companies that
were either broken or went into liquida-
ton ranged from two millions in Ken
tucky and California. to one hundred
thousand dollars in Delaware. OF these
three hundred companies one-third, or
just one hundred, were destroyed by the
Chicago and Boston fires Of 1871 and 1873.
The only reason assigned for the with
drawals OF the remaining two hundred
companies is that, during the hard times
since 1873, their expenses exceeded their
receipts, only the strong companies man
aging to survive. According to the Bllle-
lin, it is a popular iallacy to suppose that
fire insurance companies, at existing rates
and under the competition to which they
are subjected, are, as general rule, open
and direct roads to wealth. There are ex-
ceptions, but they are few and far be-
tween.

The 1o4th Anniversary OF independence


The 1oith Anniversary of Independence
The anniversary Of American independ
ence having come this year Just at thu
opening OF Presidential canvass, call
for a reference TO some considerations tina
connect It with the issue to be decided II
said canvass.
When Abraham Lincoln stood on the
heights Of Gettysburg, on the 18th o
November, 1868, several months after the
battle, and, referring to the sacred memo
ries that clustered thick and fresh around
that great theatre Of the war, said that the
unsolyed problem Of our experiment as a
republic was whether q government Of the
people, by the peoplean for the people,
could endure, he put forth an utterance
that Is today as memorable as any enun-
citation OF the Declaration OF Independ-
ence.
1t was certainly an unsolved problem al
the time he spoke whether the govern
ment could then endure. Is it not to-day
still an unsolved problem whether 1t can
endureH
A government Of the people, by the
people, and for the people, rests for its
perpetuity on the sacredness Of the elect
i've franchisein the hands Of all who are en-,
titled to its privileges. To hold electionsun-
derthe formsof law, and by force and fraud
destroy the ballot in the handsofthe elect
ora is a destruction OF our republican form
Of government.
All that distinguishes this government
from despotic and autocratic governments
is the fact that It's law giyers and rulers are
chosen by and responsible to the people.
As soon as 1t loses this characteristic 1t is
no longer republic. The salt has lost Its
SAVIOR and has no longer its preseryatiye
character.
The fact that in very large area OF this
country one political party has to-day
exclusive possession Of the ballot.box, and
will not permit free or fair election
is an alarming circumstance. The fact
that the electoral vote Of one.half OF the
Union stands pledged to the National
candidate Of that party by reason Of an
expected and intended terrorism through.
the South, is indeed a most momentous
circumstance.
Every man OF intelligence knows that
