DEAR HERALD II wish to drop

Our government work on the river is
progressing finely. Frost is on us at

other things equally absurd. Then
with great deal of affection for the

Business Success.

The following excellent remarks

of business success occur in a recent
number Of Baldwin's Monthlv.

About the Nation Nks

A HERALD reader, after the perus-
al Of the article published last week,
suggesting the advantages national
bankers have over other men, calls
our attention to an extract of HER
AID editorial given to its readers in
October, 1878. The extract is IS
follows:
"They demand the abolition Of the National
banks. What for? Will the change benefit
the people, or will it put money into the
pockets of the rich bankers? The change
would substitute greenbaeks for the currency
they now have outstanding. These banks
are paying taxes 20 the United States to the
amount of about S7,500,000 per year. Their
State and local taxes amoult to a larger sum
than this. Altogether these rich bankers pay
not less than $4,000. eco annually of the
peoples taxes, Substitute greenbacks for
their circulation and what the result The

If Not by Fair then by Foul Means

The success of Hancock is so des.
perate that the head managers con-
clude that criminal methods are nee.
essary. They forged letter in Gar.
fields name. They represented that
it was found with the papers of
dead man in Massachusetts named
Morey-a prominent shoe manufac-
turer. Investigation shows that no
such man either lived or died there.
The letter represented Garfield as in
favor of Chinese cheap labor. Gen.
Garfield in eloquent and vindictive
emphasis denies ever having written,
expressed or entertained the senti-
ments of the letter. The Denis have
it Autographed in fac smile and are
placarding it everywhere. All men
of intelligence at once see the truth
of Garield's denunciation that the
perpetrator of the forgery is bun
gler who can neither initiate Gar
fields hand or write good English,
yet the head man Of the Democratic
workers have the effrontery to go on
with the forgery. is on a sample
with their folly and madness at the
"extra session." their fiendishness
in the South, their tissue ballots,
their cipher dispatches, their In
diana judicial decieion business.
Like all these follies it will
react upon themselves. 1t will help
carry New York for the Republic
cans. 1t may so 30 far as to give
New York city Congressman to
Republicans. A Brooklyn man has
offered 5000 for the detection of
the perpetrator of the forgery. He
has been hunted down until he ia
supposed to be known. Some of
his acoomplices may catch it, too.
But the affair may be used by the
Democrats as ruse. They cannot
be so stupid as to expect to make
votes by that forged letter. There
must be a niger in the wood pile.
They are preparing to adopt South
Carolina or Mississippi, or Oregon
or Maine practices in unsupported
places. They do not expect to win
by fair means. They know now
they have not the votes to do il
with. A free ballot and fair

WIru this, the last issue of the
HERALD before the day of election,
we send to such of our readers as re-
side in Grant county, good cam
paign supplement-. 1t begins with a

mans speech. 1t is good speech.
Il is a much better speech than that
Of Conkling we gave two weeks ago.
There is not so much ostentation
about it. Conkling is nothing with
ont his conceit. When he makes q
speech it is Conkling's boom, not
Garfield's. His coxcomb l runs all
through it. Not so with Sherman's.
1t goes right to the point in every
sentence. Every paragraph chuches
an issue. We trust it will be read
nv every one this week who receives
il, and next Tuesday he must not for
GOT that he has read it. Besides
This speech there are several other
good campaign articles in the paper

A Republican Congress.

Our forecast of the complexion of
the next Congress, made last week,
looks too good to be expected even
to ourselves. Perhaps enthusiasm
led to too great expectations. 1t
was apparent that where elections
have already been held the Republi.
cans captured As per cent. of the
congressional seats now held in the
North. Without taking into account
attending circumstances it is reason
able to expect gains OF the same ra.
ito in the November elections. But
examination may show that such
gain cannot reasonably be looked for
in some OF the States. In New York
for instance, we already have "a out
of SO of its Congressman. We also
have over half in Pennsylvania and
Illinois. But surely in the elections
yet to be held we shall do half az
well in captures as we nave done in
the early elections. If we capture
224 per cent. of the seats still liened
upon by northern Democrats we
shall gain 9 more. Without other
gains looked for in the South the
House would then stand l49 Repub.
lican and 144 opposition. Of the
opposition few will work with Re.
publieans. And now let us look
where gains may be expected. We
are almost certain to gain the cleo.
ton Of Guenther over Bouck ia the
Oshkosh District, this State, and
nearly as sure of electing Sanger
over Duester in the Milwaukee Dis.
trict. The chances are also in favor
of beating Bragg. If we get all il
would be a gain of 8. We regard i,
safe to count on gain of in Wis.
consin. In Iowa two Nationalist
now hold seats. One of them is Ger.
tain to be redeemed and the other
may be. Count l more. In Cali.
fornia Democrat holds his seat by
only 24s majority. The Garfield or
1880 wave will easily sweep that
away-count, 5. In New JERSEY
the Democrats hold one seat by 34s.
another by 33a. We shall get them
count, I. We may also Dust the
other Democrat in that State as the
combined opposition against him was
over 1000. In New York a Demo.
crat holds his seat by SO majority
and three others by $50, 100 and
1917. We may gain the four Count
one certain and we have s. In
Pennsylvania one Democrat had "a
majority, another 1872, another 3o5
and another Is. We may redeem all
but are sure of two-maklng our
gains 10. Thus il appears that the
changes which we may count on as
nearly absolute certalnties give us
ten to be added to the ten gains we
now have and the prospect is that
we will gain in every case where the
Democratic majority two years ago
is less than 1000. This we have
done in the elections already held.
Three of the gains were on Demo.
cratic majorities of over 1000, one OF
them nearly 5000. After the 4th OF
March next Republican House will
assemble in Washington.
