''What is the real difference between the
Democratic aud Republican parties The
difference l understand to be precisely this
The one party is Il national party. and the
other sectional party. Both are for the
Union. But one is for the old, constitutional.
paternal and equal Union-the other for a
Union maintained by despotsm imposed by
one section on the other" So said L. J.
Phelps in his speech accepting the Democrat
ic gubernatorial nomination. From the whole
tenor of his speech it is evident that, if Mr.
Phelps could have lis way, We should have a
Union imposed by the members of the
Southern eX-rebcl oligarchy Oh the freomcn
of the North, and maintained" by shotgun
violence, bulldozing tissue ballots and the
most astounding frauds i'll the count That
is not the kind Of Union, however, which
Vermont Republicans arc fighting for in this
campaign.

The returns from our state election this
year must in justice, be compared with those
of the September election four years ago,
when the Republican majority was %, 80.
Since that time the Greenback movement Ms
sprung up in the State, taking few votes
from both parties If we keep our majority
of 1876 we shall have ample cause to claim
the election as a handsome and substantial
victory. We believe, however, that these fig
ures will be handsomely increased upon. If
every man does his duty, they will 90 up to
%. 600 and more and Garfeld's election in
November will be assured. Are you ready

Rebel Appoin,ec- a, Washington.

The Detan,cr for the last two weeks las
been trying to make it appear that the Dem
ocrats in Congress have done more for dis
abled Union soldiers in the way of appoint
mouts to Office than the Republicans did
while they held the power. The Republican
Congressional Committee have issued "a list
Of Union soldiers removed and rebel soldiers
appointed at the Capitol since the Democrats
came into power, which shows the facts TO
be quite otherwise. An examination of the
list shows that there were discharged from
the doorkeeper's department of the House %
Union soldiers from the clerks office, ~
from the post Office, 10; from the capitol po-
lice, ? making in all ~ Union soldiers dis
charged. In the place of these Union sol
diers who were thus turned out in the cold
there were appointed in the doorkcepol's de-
partment ~ Confederate soldiers in the
clerks Office, 10: in the post Office, II on
the capitol police. l on the standing COM
mittees 3 making in all a. Confederate
soldiers receiving appointments. Besides this,
it is notorious that the law STIMULATING the APP
poiutmont Of a certain proportion of Union
soldiers on the city police Of Washington has
been grossly disregarded.
In the Senate, April 1879, when resolu-
ton came up yesting the power Of removal
and appointment Of Senate employees in the
Secretary Of that body, an amendment offer
cd by Senator Edmunds for the purpose Of
protecting Union soldiers in their places I'M
less cause could be shown for their removal.
was voted down by a strict party vot, So
much for the Democratic regard for Union
soldiers.

of some %, 900 or more of the voters of Yer

that on this one point at least, they fully con-

Secretary sherman on the Stump

Hon. John Sherman, Secretary of the Treas
ury, made one of the most effective speeches
of the campaign at Cincinnati on Monday
evening. The Secretary boldly and deity
met the Democratic plea for "a change" by
calling for a change in the political character
of Congress. The Democrats, he maintained,
have had control of the lower branch for five
years and of tho Senate for two and during
this time have done nothing but NEEDLE and
muddle. They have, he declared, proposed
no reduction of taxes and no measure of re-
lief to the industrial interests of the country.
They can point TO no law passed during their
time which even purports to bring relief to
the people, TO lessen the burdens of taxation,
or TO advance the public interests" The re-
ductions in the appropriations Mr.. Sherman
said, have been made up in subsequent def
cheney bills, aud he showed that the appro-
priations for the current year, upon specie
basis, are as large as those made by the Re
publicans in 1873 when the currency was at
a discount of - per cent. Unfortunately for
the Democratic cause, these are hard and dana
aging facts, which no sophistry can evade or
cover up.

1t is rumored that one of the little lodges
which our opponents have resorted to this
year, is the pairing of Of Democrats with Re

Republicans. The only way Republicans can
protect themselves is by refusing TO pair with
any one. Be on hand, and stick" all day.
