A,lNexro vs,os Illegal.

The Gazette yesterday in expressing
a hope that Mr.. Baugh the defeated
Democratic candidate for Council from
the fifth ward would contest the seal
of Mr.. Robinson, said: "But 1t is moi
fair that q man should be cheated out
Of his right by illegal or negro votes"
So then, in case Of a contest which is
mot likely to cccur, the Gazette would
have all negro votes rejected. We see
now what that organ means by illegal
votes that we're cast by the Republicans,
As the latter had no repeaters, mol
other illegal votes except here and
there an accidental one, all this time
the Gazette, has been charging the Re-
publioans with voting illegal votes, II
has meant the negroes. ln its wisdom
and Judgment, every man with dark
skin, no matter how we'll qualified be
may be, who casts ballot, votes an lille
gal vote. This is indeed going TO
greater extremes than the rankest fire
eating paper OF the South has ever yet
gone. If this is the ground upon which
the Gazette would urge Mr.. Baugh to
contest Mr.. RObinson's seat, the same
reasons would apply to all the wards
where Republicans were elected. If a
vote Is illegal simply because q negro
cast it, then indeed were there an ava
larche ofillegal votes cast by the Re-
publican party. II the GaZstte is
really anxious to uncover q multitude
OF illegal votes Of which there can bs
no doubt, it can find them in the poll
lists cast by Democrats, q few of them
voting in several wards again in true
Democratic style. The Democrats were
not careful enough in gathering up the
forged tax receipts upon which they
voted their dupes last Tuesday, and
some of them have fallen into the
wrong hands. The Democratic official
who prevailed upon an unnaturaliEsd
citizen to vote for Mr.. Baugh did not
cover up his tracks as carefully as hS
should have done. The Democratic
tool who was Inspector Of the Western
Precinct of TIE Third Ward may yet
have to answer for refusing to take the
votes of Edmund Mitchell, William
Lockermsn and other honest and legal
ly qualified Republican voters, who
would have voted for Mr.. Robinson
and against Mr.. Baugh. Had the Ga.
zette really desired to pour out the
virtuous vials of its wrath and indig3a.
ton upon the heads of illegal voters it
had q chance TO do so last tall when
two Democratic Ceuncilnen from the
Fifth Ward were elected by repeaters,
some of whom were afterwardsconVicted
by a Democratic court, Democratic
States Attorney and q Democratic lry.
One of those Councilmen still retains
the seat TO which he was
elected by these three convicted re
psaters, but strange to say the Gazette
90 far as its published col1mn Of news
is con ,erned, has never yet heard offs.
We know now what constitutes illegal
votes in the opinion Of the GaEstte.

the Sheriff, the Democrats only polled
1926 votes for Pyle for Sheriff, their
candidate for Governor receiving 5000
From 1874 to 1876 the Democrats
only increased their vote 1897. They
cannot increase their vote over 500 in
November next over that Of 1875, when
II was 66l1 in the county-indeed the
indications in this city are that
there will be Q falling of instead
Of an increase. This being the
case then the Democratic vote at the

PARTIES FROM VIII.
MINQTON To EITHER PLACE
The Hartford herald., 1880-10-13

A. Garfield, during the last session OF
Congress, was the conspicuous defender
of this crafty attempt to sacrifice the
interests Of the people to bond holders
and foreign capitalists. That when il
was proposed TO restore the old silver
dollar to the place it had held during
our history as nation as legal tender
for all debts, public and private, he de-
nOunced the attempt as "a swindle on
so grand a scale as to make the achieve
ment illustriOus" aud as "scheme of
vast rascality and colossal swindling." :"
Twelfth h-Res0ired, that neither great
ability and experience or eloquent par
tizan discussion of the dead issue Of the
late war, will excuse or justify past dis
honesty and corruption or answer as n
guaranty Of integrity and purity for the
future.
Thirteenth-Re Resolred, that believing
the statements i'm the foregoing rssoIu-
tions set forth We cannot without stul-
tifying our self-respect, support Mt the
polls the nominee of the Republican
convention Of this district for re-elec-
tion, nor can we without surrendering
our rights rs electors and citizens, sit ST.
lently by and zee a man so unworthy
again sent to represent US in the ma
tiOnal Legislature. That strong in the
conviction of right We call upon the
electors of the district, irrespective of
former or present party attachment,
who desire honest government to unite
with us in an earnest, faithful effort to
defeat the reelection of General Gar
field and elect i'm his stead am honest
and reliable man.
The Hartford herald., 1880-10-13

Your paper Is a great comfort to me
i'm every number / find something to
put away in mind and memory-some-
thing that i did not know before, and
which will be Of advantage TO me i'm
time to come. III u man can read, he
can get good education by taking one
good paper; he can keep up with the
world and make himself an entertain
ing member Of society; he can talk up
a little ON most any subject. Book
learning is very good thing, but he
never reads the papers and passes tor a
fool in his neighborhOod. Some papers
are not much account to appearance,
but i never took one that didn't pay me
in some way n good deal more than 1
paid for it. One time an old friend
started paper away down i'm South
west Georgia and sent IL To me, and 4
subscribed just to encourage him, and
so after awhile IL published a notice
that an administrator had an order to
sell several lots in my county. So I
inquired about the lot, and wrote down
To my friend to attend the sales and
run 1t mp TO fifty dollars. He did 80,
and bid off the lot for me at thirty dol
lars, and L sold IL in month TO a man
II joined for q hundred dollars, and 80
made sixty-eight dollars clear by
taking that paper. My father told me
that when he was young man he saw
q notice in a paper that n school-teaeher
was wanted way OF in distant county,
and he went down there and got the
situation, and little girl was sent to
him, and after awhile she grew mighty
sweet and pretty, and he fell in love
with her and married her. Now, IL he
hadn't taken that paper, what do you
reckon would have become of me
Wouldn't L be some other fellow, or
maybe not at all.-Dirie Fdvmer.
The Hartford herald., 1880-10-13

does TO generous rain, and the county
that will not give such a patronage
ought not to have any paper at all.
Let such counties remain i'm darkness,
unless you wish to do the work of a
missionary, and suffer his hardships
and privatiOns.
The worst load that a county paper
has to carry Is the would-be great man.
You all know him. He expects you to
call on him each day out Of the week
and get the cue for your editorials. A
complete record must be kept for his
goings and comings. He likes to see
the prefix Hon" attached to his name
When he takes snuff il Is an outrage II
you don't sneeze. When he makes a
speech, however trivial, you are expect
ell to publish a verbatim report. III he
has aspirations-and he always has
you are to push him with all your pow
er, and when he Is defeated-as he usu-
ally is-it Is your fault, Of course; and
from that time you have the bitter en-
nifty of both himself and his friends.
The really meritorious fellow-citizen
with aspirations is he who shall or shall
not do, and who not only appreciates
but reciprocates In every proper way
the favOrs you are able to bestOw on
him.
There are some who, while conced-
ing the power and usefulness of a eoun-
ty paper, yet, through some strange
perversity, are constantly crippling it.
They expect it to compete i'm price with
metropolitan journals, which enjoy
large advertising patronage at enor-
nous prices, and which are so located
as to have extensive fields from which
to draw subscribers; or with that other
local paper, whose only ambition is
cheapness instead of quantity or quail
ity, and whose columns are largely
mOnopolized by cheap advertisements.
They bring you obituary notices, reso-
lutions i'm memoriani, church and So
ciety notices, all go In free, and then
wonder why it Is that you are not able
to publish a paper equal to the New
York Times. They are newspaper dead
beats. | presume that they abound in
every community.
No one gives so much to the cam
paign as the publisher of county pa
per. He Is constantly at il, not only
giving his services as an editor and pub
Usher, but other things for which he
should have additional and prompt pay.
His support to the party, to be effee-
tive, should not be mechanical, and for
this reason his opinions and judgment
ought to largely prevail in making up
the ticket and In managing the cam
paign. In this way his mind Is enlist
ed rs we'll as his hands, and what he
does is work of love and devotion to
party principles. Wherever this is the
ease our party Is sure to win in the end.
Ii may take years of effort, but the re-
suit is as sure rs that light follows
knowledge.
