THE Republican papers have again
the astounding discovery that, the
Democratic party is dead-n If,that
is really 80, il Is wonderful lively
corpse, embracing within its fold a
majority of the popular vote of the
thirty-eight States comprising fhe
American Union. .s,i.
THE following is list, go far as is
known, at present. Of Republican pa
%-;1 yHD 70 20
Senatorial bro9ans bestowed on Gen.
Garfield last winter: Governor Fos-
ter, Stanley Mathews, Secretary Sher-
man, Judge Taft, Gen. John Beatty,
w. +. Rowland, and Ex-Governor
Dennison. There is a fair prospect for
a nice little cotillon in Columbus the
coming winter. On with the dance.
A MOVEMENT il said to be on foot to
elect Grant to the Presidency Instead
of the ssge of Mentor. The plan is
for the Southern Democratic electors
to vote for the silent man" and with
enough Northern Republicans, said to
be already assured, elect him. How

come soon enough without resorting to
such means. .i -

Office as Representative in Congress

the counties composing the, district in
1878, when Garfield was elected, will

the other, and no instance will lie
found where . Democratic employer
has threatened to discharge his en-
ployss by the hundreds and thousands

leaders 60 bowling around the country
about negro intimidation, has all the
honor of having achieved avictory by
such damnable means. :, -. q,
CHARLES q. FISHER, prominent
young Republican of Cincinnati, ma:
been arrested on the charge of depos
iting and securing the counting o
fraudulent votes at the late election in
Precinct A of the First Ward of tina

cry manner of means to rescue hin
from merited punishment. ,.;.a
The Republicans have been wont t,
stigmatize the Democrats as g 'repudi
ators, but they are fast earning TO
themselves that unenviable title. Ii
Virginia and Tennessee the Repubfi
cans allied themselves openly with tin
smxll segment of the Democratic part,
that favored the reputation of tn
State debte. and the only candidate
for Congress in the Southern State
were chosen on the distinct issue O
favoring Reputation, and if they hav
q majority in Congress, it has beei
won by means of that alliance. Still
they will keep up their howl abou
~redudiation.
