October Election Shouts.
From the N v T,r;buna

Bids for seats in HancOck's Cabinet
are less excited than they were.
The American people will never con-
done the rebellion Never, never, new
er!
1t will be in order to-day to give
thanks that large majority of the
American people are not fools.
Not new rebel flag has appeared
for three days. Johnny Reb is suffer-
ing from depression of spirits.
The suddenness with which that
1929" foolefy dropped out of the Bour-
bon organs almost took ones breath
away.
If you want to make Democrat ex-
cruciatingly happy, take him into a
corner and show him photograph of
English.
The outlook for a man who spells
negro with two g's to become President
is little more hopeless to-day than it
ever was before.
The only hope left for the Democrats
is to get Charles Francis Adams to trav-
ell about the country and flourish his
fraud brand.
English has been in favor of ''reve-
nue. only" for good many years. He
gets it by high interest, sheriff's sales
and foreclosures.
The only Change to be desired is a
change of heart among the Democrats.
Happily, many of them are becoming
converted, too.
English continues to send dispatches
to the New York Democrats at their
expense. He will send n photograph
of himself presently, marked ''collect.u
Alexander Stephens was true
prophet when he said alt will not do
for the Democrats to throw mud at
Garfield. If they do they will elect
him"
Hark What is that sound from
Illinois 1t may be the voice of David
Davis saying cheerily from the top of
the reascended fence: "Here we are
againw .aif'l Il.
Barnum uplifts once more the famil-
lar cry of fraud" Whenever Demo-
cratic schemes to buy state are unsuc-
cessful, that refrain follows as surely as
an echo.
Tilden, in his dispatch to the Ohio
Democrats, urged them all to come out
and vote. Well, it appears they came
out; but the trouble was the other fell
lows came out, too.
The North may be put down as solid
against that sort of reconciliation which
consists in asking the South 20 please
rub us around on the floor and then
dance on our heads.
Perhaps it is due to uneasiness, per-
haps to indifference but it is notice
able fact that Charles Francis Adams
does not join as of yore in the regula-
ton Democratic cries of fraud.
There will be lively scramble pres
emily between Butler, Forney, Mullett,
Sickles and Boss Shepherd, in their eff
forts to see who will get back on the
Republican side of the fence first
The Democrats have been asking,
with satirical air, of late, what had
become of the old-time Republican ma
jorities. They appear to have been on
hand last week, Messrs. Democrats.
After the Maine election the hope of
Democratic victory brought a dozen
rebel flags to the front. They go down
now, as they always have and always
will, before the Union banner.
Barnum and his cliquers are at it
again, Claiming" New York, New Jer-
sey and Connecticut. All right, breth-
rem you carry them by wind now, and
the Republicans will carry them by
votes in November. This was the di-
vision of labors in Indiana, and it suits
us.
Of one thing the Democrats can be
very sure, and that is, they will never
again have the Republicans at the dis
advantage they have had them in this
campaign. In other words, the Repub-
llcans will never again be compelled to
fight the Solid South in one or two
Northern States.
When a correspondent requested En-
glish for his views on the Indiana de-
mothers Pension responded: "Let me
worked and need rest" The country
will vote in November to make his rest
permanent.
The Democratic Committee in this
city received on Tuesday a dispatch
from Indianapolis, containing valuable
transformation about the election, and
signed ''W. H. English" Beneath the
signature were the telegraph office
marks '16 words-collect." Thrifty
even amid disaster, is the great Fore
closer. He has drawn on that barrel
for all he proposes to spend in this cam
paign.
A Democratic orator is reported as
saying to not over-enthusiastic audi
ence, just after Ohio and Indiana had
been heard from, sour pickets have
been driven in, but out of this nettle
danger let US pluck the flower safety"
OF similar tenor was the remark of the
great Democratic leader, Jefferson Da-
Wis, when his pickets had been driven
in and he seized the famous waterproof.
What ,vas the matter with the Rev.
William Henry Hubert, late Unitarian
clergyman Last night when Hen
bricks had given up Indiana, when
Mcdonald had given it up, when even
Mr.. English, who never gives up any
thing except in response to a sheriff's |
execution, had followed suit, the follow
ing dispatch appeared on a bulletin
borad of The World newspaper:
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. ID.
Official returns show Republican
gains of only 669, which is 5000 short |
of Republican victory. The State is |
surely Democratic.
Signed, The Editor of The World.
