Governor Wiltz of Louisiana and Daniel

situation of tho canvass was discussed in

10 the Democratic and Conservative
Voters Of tic Counf,v:
The election of President and Vice presi.
dent is now before you. State and local
disscnsions arc eliminated from tho issues
OF the day. Magnitude of victory or
defeat can only be estimated by the force
and means employed in securing il. By
fraud and corruption the people of the
country we're defeated in their purpose in
1876. and the rgh,fully elected President
was kept from Office. With the combined
capital of the Republican party, aided by
repeated assessment upon the army of Office
holders with the power ofthc Federal govern.
ment represented by United States marshals
at the polls, with Intimidation, fraud and
resort to every corrupt appliance known
to Republican methods concentrated 10 two
States, our advcrsarics have succeeded in
procuring the probable return of their local
candidates. Can it ho possible tha. in
every State throughout this broad land the
same methods can be brought to bear that
we're used by the Republicans managers in
Indiana aud Ohio? Can tho great States
of Now York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Colorado, Nevada and New Hampshire be
bought, intimdatcd and dcfraudcd? Even
without the vote OF Indiana, which we
believe will be redeemed in November,
with New York and New Jersey and tho
States that are conceded to US, including
Muinc, the election Of our candidate is
assured.
The Republican party lave put in nomi.
nation for President and Vice president
two men who, by tho admission of their
own party and press, are unworthy of your
confidence aud your suffragcs 1t is i'm
possible that fifty millions of intelligent
and patriotic people will consent to plaoo
themselves upon the hunilutipg level thus
prepared for thcm by tho Republican
managers.
Fellow" citizens, the first days repulsc at
Gettysburg ended on tho Sd, with Hancock
in tho front in glorious victory. That vic.
tory secured us our Union. Tho question
is not now tho preservation of the Union, but
of constitutional government Hancock is
now, as then, in front. Tho rcpulsc is now,
then, on omen of victory, which will secure
to coming generations tho inestimablc bless.

The Dom Pedro ". Railroad is the
largest and, with perhaps one exception.
the most important in Brazil. The total
length of the main line is 365 mics. and
extensions are made almost every wear.
The road was commenced under the man
:'gement Of an Incorporated company
interest OF Z per cent. on the capital
stock being guaranteed by the govern.
ment. But in building the first portion
OF the road it was necessary to cross the
mountains near Rio, and by the time 100
miles were completed, the capital was
entirely exhausted In 1865 the govern
ment bought the road of the stockhold-
eIs and it has since been built and run
'as branch of the imperial service. On
the invested capital Of rather more than
SO,OO,OOO the government realizes an
average income of five and half Der
