WASHINGTON, June 90, 1880
Boots and saddles is the buge call of the
united aggressive Democracy. No truce with
the enemy for this campaign, but an earnest'
united and resistless charge all along the line
The party that has 80 long misruled the ma
ton must be routed. The party that Sneers at
States Rights and hires with the peoples money
q host of political bummers and partisan strikers
to visit, watch and supervise the polling places
all through the land to ensure partisan conquest,
like Kearney's Chinese, must GO" The party
that holds the rights of the States 80 sacred on
other occasions that ii refuses to investigate be-
hind the returns of such petty State officers as
Louisiana and Florida presented in 1876, even
when it was publicly known that those returns
were based on perjury and forgery OF the most
Rlsring type-that party " must go.'
The party, again, that, under its Civil Rights
bill, tried to regulate by Congress the conduct of
hotel keepers and direct what guests they should
entertain, no matter how repuIsive, and thereby
not only overriding and annullng the authority
Of the United States, but even meddling with the
officers of small municipalities, "must go.''
The time has come when spite, malevolence,
anger and all the bitter fruits of an ancient war
shall cease to sway the minds of one section of
our land against the other.
The better class of the Radical party perceive
the truth of what 1 have stated, and are already
beginning to flock around the standard of Han
cock and national fraternity 1t is estimated in
Washington that one half or more of the Grant
section win vote with the Democracy in Novem-
Der next And this section of the party is by far
the ableet and most deserving one. Grant him

BILE leaders like Forney and Mullet openly pro-
claim their determination 10 vote and act with
us. Why, the very man who nominated Han
cock at Cincinnati, the learned and eloquent
Dougherty, when last seen BY your correspond
