VIRGINIA. There seems to be
some uneasiness abroad that the
course of the Re ,ad justers in the Old
Dominion may result in so dividing
the Democracy as to deliver the
State into the hands of the Garfield
and Arthur managers. The Demo-
cratic press of that State, however,
does not seem TO share 10 this un-
easiness. The Commonwealth says :
"There is the regular Democratic
ticket 10 the field and the regular
Republican ticket. Let the irregular
Malone ticket 60 ahead on its own
merits, and then we will SEQ exactly
what the strength of repudiation is
in the State. That ticket knows it
has no sort of show by itself, and
hopes to bulldoze the regular Demo-
cratic ticket into terms. We are not
of those to be bulldozed in that line
and we propose to fight any affilia-
ton whatever with that crowd while
there is any life in us. The Demo
cratic party of Virginia was never
before in better condition TO insure
success to it's efforts. 1t is not SO
large in numbers as heretofore, bnt
it is just sufficiently strong to defeat
its enemies. This is enough.

MICHIGAN FOR HANCOCK.

you would be astonished,' writes
correspondent of the Detroit Free
Press, "to see the bark of prejudice
scale off from old Republicans in this
campaign. The State is ours if we
work for it and deserve it,"
The Free Press, commenting upon
what it's correspondent writes, says :
"That our correspondent is right,
those who have candidIy watched
the current of events, even for the
short period that has elapsed since
the Cincinnati Convention, must
freely admit. 1t is astonishing how
Republican prejudice during that
period has been removed. Il is al.
most equally astonishing with what
promptness, unanimity, the so CALI
ed independent voters and all other
opposition to the party have declar-
ed themselves in favor of the Cincin-
natl ticket"
While the Republicans have been
declaring that if the Democrats won
next November it would be owing
altogether to the "solid South" they
seem to have ignored completely the
possibility of break in their own
solidity. Just now, however, the
chances seem to be that they will
lose several Northern and Western
States, which they have hitherto re
garded as theirs under all circum>
stances. Michigan has always been
looked upon as irredeemabIy Repub>
lican as Vermont or Rhode Island,
vet it will be seen that already there
is a strong element of doubt as to
the result next November, 10 that
State. The Radical leaders can no
longer deceive their own followers
and the men who csst the floating
vote. The suggestion can no longer
be made with any hope of even a
patient hearing, that Democratic sue
cess means danger to the country.
The name Of Hancock at the mast
head makes the suggestion too ridi
culous for even credulous partizan
ship to accept. 1t carries its refuta>
ton with it. And while the blowing
away of the smoke has revealed
Democratic strength, it has none the
less clearly revealed Republican
weakness.-Augusts Chronicle.

aARFIHLD's LETTER OF AcCEP
TANCE.

The long agony is over at last.
Gsrfield's letter of acceptance has
appeared and, doubtless, he expe-
riences a measure of relief. We don't
know how painful may have been the
throes of psrturitiOn-unusually Sc
we're, however, we opine--for the
reason, that the bantling fell still
born. So far from kindling enthu-
sissm in the ranks of the party, it
scarcely meets with even the most
formal and freezing endorsement
We wonder why it turns out so.-
We wonder why it does not touch q
chord in the hearts of stalwarts at
least, for he promises the "tur~
key" to them and the "buzzArd" to
the South at every stroke Of the pen.
The filings he makes at the South
and her people are unworthy any
pOt-bOuse politician. They are born
of malice and inveterate hate. No
one knows better than Mr.. Garfield
that no party in the country ever
advocated what he calls the "pois-
onous doctrine of State supremacy"
yet be charges it by cowardly in>
situation upon the Democracy, for
the sole purpose of reviviDg the pas
sions of the late war. No one knows
better than Dir. Garfield that the
ballot is az free 10 the South as 10 the
West, and freer than in the New
England States--yet be unblushing-
ly charges the contrary, and resur>
reefs from its grave the grim old
Shade of Naturalization at the polls.
No one knows better than Mr.. Gar
field that life and property, and the
sacredness of private opinion and
freedom of speech are as thoroughly

south of the Potomac as in those

GAINS AND Losses. according
to present estimates under the new

gains going to Wisconsin, Minnesota,

rather than it's organization should

party hold that its continued rule

Mr.. Fred Wilhelm gives US a most
remarkable account OF little child

days ago in Chambers county little
child got into a we'll bucket and
went like a shot to the bottom of a
we'll forty feet deep and only twelve
or fifteen inches in diameter contain
ing fifteen feet Of water. The mother
drew the child to the top Of the wa
ter with the bucket, but was afraid
to draw i. any further for fear it
would fall. The well was too small
for a man to go down into it. Final
ly, after the child bad been 10 the

small boy, ten years old, was let
down by rope and grasping the
child by the arm was drawn to the

THE Republicans confidently as
sert that the negro exodus has given
them Indiana. They have been
very active in the introduction of
negro voters, but they will fail to
carry the State, nevertheless. At
this moment they are cutting down
the Republican vote in Kentucky by
piling the negroes into the Southern
counties of Indiana. Their trouble
and expense will not help them -
The Indiana Democrats have sharp
eyes.

CROP prospects in Louisiana, Mis-

favorable, if compilation of reports
from those States, in the New Or

Louisiana is growing finely, and the
corn crop, which is now a surety, it

SECTIONALISM,

II seems impossible to get rid of
sectionalism in our politics. 1t was
hoped Haneock's nomination would
finally dispose of it, bat the hope
was 10 vain. Garfield brings it for>
ward in his letter of acceptance.
Schurz goes to Indiana in the
same cause. Blaine will assist in
Maine, and Conkling will rally in
New York, and so it goes. From
this time on we shall read in the rad
ical papers about political murders,
and other forms of violent BULLDOG
Jog in the Southern States until if
the story we're a new one, the whole
North would be wild with excite
ment. But the story itself, and the
fiction by which it will be support.
ed, are old. Considered by them>
selves even they havo had their day.
More important than this fact, the
"plain people, of the North have in
the last few years, begun to question
if their own section is not 10 fault 10
the matter of "bulldozing." Those
who have observed life in several eff
the New England States, and 10 the
South, believe there is absolutely
more general freedom 10 the matter
of voting in the latter, than in the
former.
10 the rural regions of New Eng
land, long held to be the ideal place
of religious and political indepen =
dence, the system in force for gener>
atoms has turned the population into
three classes: First, the smallest,
the capitalists and large employers t;
second, the moderately independent
persons third, the Iaboring and
debtor people being by far the larg~
est class, and that which would con
troll affairs if it had liberty to vote as
it wished. But the property of this
class to an extent unknown any>
where else in the United States. is
mortgaged to the others, and gener-
atoms of experience have shown
that the New Highlander is the most
detestaole tyrsnt in existence. He
insists upon owning the soul of the
debtor, as we'll as his property
Election day comes, and capital
goads and governs debt and labor
SILVER and submit. This is no fam
cy picture Of affairs in the region
whence comes charge of bulldozing
against Southern men. 1t took five
years of unparalleled and almost
uncomfortable hardship among the la
bors and small property holders Of
Maine to bring them, in 1873, 10 the
point at which they dared to say
they had souls of their own.
The extensive manufacturing in
terests of Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island add to the sufferers in Maine ;
thousands of dependent men whose
necessities still further delay the
possibility of change.
No, in the whole Union, there is
no other buIIdOzing, no other tyrau
ny. that equals in its enOrmity thai
of New England. The people Of the
lowest, how YER poor, have hope
in New York, they have a better
climate, better markets, and better
soil, and the same may be said Of
Pennsylvania, and other Middle
States.
10 the South old forms of society
have been suddenly broken up, and
inevitable trouble have followed, but
every day sees less of them, and
sees the better classes assuming their
proper places in public affairs.
