The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-05-26

The colored politician is looming
up. During the campaign last year,
when Garfield was brimful of nice
theories which he had little reason
to suppose would be put into prac-
tice, he suggested that the colored
people should hold State conventions
and decide what they need to make
them happy. The Maryland colored
men followed this advice and con,
cluded that some Federal officers
would add largely to the felicities
conferred upon them by the consti,
tutional amendments. Without wait
ing to see how the Maryland people
succeed the colored men of North
Carolina are arranging for a conven
ton, and in Virginia they are edging
up that way. The President will
probably be Mortified to learn that he
has been taken at his word, because
there are a great many colored PEG,
pie in the South who will to be taker
care of. A colored man has as many
rights as anybody else under this
government, only he wants to SCI
that he gets them.

So far as we are able to learn from
all reports concerning the wheat
crop from all sections of the country,
it is likely to be fully up 20 the av-
erage, unless it meets with some SER
icus drawback hereafter, such as
rust, weevil, etc. There will proba-
bly, be fewer acres of corn planted
this year than last, in consequence
of the late continuance of the snow,
but observation discloses the fact
that a heavy crop of corn, OF rather
a heavy yield, always follows a win
ter of heavy snow, so that in all pro-
liability the grain crop of the United
States will be as great in 1881 as it
was in 1880. The condition of affairs
in Europe point to the usual heavy
demand there for American bread
stuffs, so that there is not likely to
be any falling off in prices.

RI. Pendleton to say, that that vote
was given by him. Aside from the
Presidential swindle, which was
enough ofitselt to consign every man
engaged in it to everlasting oblivion,
Stanley Matthews is the well known
champion of monopolists and thrifty
schemers in general. No matter
what the relation of Mr.. Pendleton
may have been to Matthews as a
lawyer and neighbor, he had no just
right to vote for him for the impor-
tant place of Supreme Judge, as By
so doing he Uiolated the clearly ca
1pressed sentiment and acishes of the
Democracy Of Ohio and the schole
country.

Preparations for the Yorktov

A@. - r-.
Preparations for the Yorkto WI
centennial celebration are actively
progressing. A tract Of 500 acres
has been purchased, and site select
ed for the memorial shaft commands
a view of the river for several miles,
both above and below the town.
The old Moore House, in which the
capitulation was signed BY Lord
Cornwalis, is not now occupied; but
it is undergoing repairs and will be
fitted up for President Garield's
headquarters during the centennial
ceremonies. The country in the i'm
mediate vicinity affords magnificent
sites for large incampments for
troops and for parades, having plen-
ty of water, shade trees and extern
sive fields. The committee are now
devising the plan for landing the ma
tons guests and those who will visit
Yorktown-going by water-to take
part in the ceremonies.

The Democrats have shown their
appreciation of Senator Frye's in
temperate TRADE by sending fifty
thousand copies of it to South Caro-
lima. This is what Mr.. Frye wants
he is anxious to have the Solid
South, and his speech will keep il
SO if anything can Northern radi-
Gals swallow the speech because il
feeds their sectional fanaticism. In
the South it makes Democratic votes
because ii is known to be intempe
rate, false and malignant.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-05-26

The Democratic State Central
Committee met at Columbus on
Thursday of last week, and decided
tn hold the State Convention On the
18th of July and at Columbus. The
basis of representation will be one
delegate for every 500 votes cast for
Hancock and one for fractions of
$50. The time is not any too late,
but it does e to us that Toledo
or Cincinnati might have been Sc.
lected in preference to Columbus.
The place is getting stale for Demo
cratic Conventions.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-05-26

Jefferson Davis still thinks the Sc
cession movement was righteous and
ought TO have been successful. He
also thinks Stonewall Jackson was
the greatest military figure ~bequeath-
ed by that movement to history. But
the South Of to-day is not solid on
either of these points.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-05-26

It is a great satisfaction to observe
thatin one instance at least the Dem
ecratic backbone has been equal to
the emergency. The Republicans in
she Senate fight were compelled to a
square baekdown, and had to do at
last the very thing the Democrats
demanded all along shonld be done.
The Democratic spinal column stood
the strain admirably.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-05-26

From the name in which all the
Garfield organs are pitching into
Conkling, it is quite evident that
while they think they have him at a
disadvantage they still look upon
him as a very lively and exceeding
ly dangerous corpse, and they appear
fearful that he may yet take notion
to rise up and walIop the whole
crowd.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-05-26

That cheerful Republican organ,
the St-Lonis.l Globe Democrat re

The New York Herald speaks of
''the leaders ofthe Republican organ

one Presidency by the intrigues of
the electoral Commission, and to car

corrupt sources" The Herald draws

1t is said that Postmaster General
JAMES has reduced the expenses of
his department more than $4,000
without impairing the efficiency of
the postal services. That is encour-
