THE SAME OLD BATTLE.

As the figures demonstrate to = certainty
that the Democrats will gain twenty or
thirty members of Congress in the Northern
States, the only. hope of the Republican party
to retain its majority in the House of Rep
resentaiives is 10 make gains in the South to
Offset their losses in the North. With this
expectation Hubbell's corruption fund will
be layishly expended in the Southern States.
When the Federal rings fail 10 bulldoze the
refractory negroes, who have set up for them
selves, into support Of the mongrel tickets
prepared for them, the policy is to purchase
their support with the money extorted from
the employees of the government. The Repub-
licans understand thatthey cannot success
fully Radicalize the South with the old
leaders, whose names are q stencil in the
nostrils of the Southern people, and hence
they have been busy in purchasing Democrats
base enough to sell themselves and the tax
paying people to the party who ruled and
ruined the South. Ia Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, North Carolina, and nearly
every one of the Southern States, the old
Republican leaders, especially whore dis
tricr was doubtful, have been retired and
renegade Democrats put forward to do the
work which it is impossible to accomplish
with men whose names are associated with
the horrors of Radical rule. Independent
Democrats are to be used 10 Rad.
icalize the South. The same old
battle is to be fought over. But the
Southern people cannot be deluded into an
embrace of the Republican party. If such
men as Chalmers triumph, the Claytops, the
Ameses, the Spencers, the Bullocks and the
Warmeths will come 10 the front again.
These are the men who indorse and sustain
the Independent Democrats. Have the
white people of the South, the property
holders and taxpayers, SO soon forgot what
Republican rule means as 10 aid in restoring
to power their prosecutors and the public
plunderers through the fundamentally of
the Democrats who have been pur
chased with Office and the dispensation Of
government patronage? The Southern people
should remember the squsndered millions,
the bankrupt treasures they Inherited after
the fight of Spencer, Ames and Bullock.
Disguise the contest the Repub
licans are attempting to do, il
is plain to be seen that it is the same old
fight between Democrats and Republi-
cans, between intelligence and Ignorance, be-
tween the taxpayer and the old pluuderers
There is nothing left Tor the white people of
the South-,he Democrats-whe pay mcst of
the taxes, but TO unite and defeat this effort
to resurrect the Republican party and to
restore it to power. Since the advent of the
Democrats to power in the Southern States
there has been peace and prosperity, econo-
my, reirenchment, and reform in the admin
stration of the State governments, and they
10 not propose to invite anarchy, confusion,
sxtrayagauce and corruption, by restoring to
power Rsdicalism, by voting for renegades.

This stale and threadbare Islander which
has been made to perform double duty since
the Democrats obtained control of the
Southern States, is again brought forward to
influence the Northern elections. ga free
ballot and fair count" is the song which
has been placed in the mouths of the Inde-
pendent Democrats employed TO resurrect
the Republican party in the South, and the
new converts are singing it with the expec
tation of reading their titles clear to a seat
in the congressional mansion. AS heIots
were made drunk 10 illustrate the evils of in
temperance, so do the Republicans intend TO
inaugurate a free ballot and fair count by
using avowed bulldozers and intimidators
The howl about fraud aud intimidation has
been revived. The Republicans allege that
there was intimidation in Arkansas, and
then boast that the Republicans have made
large gains in that State. They insist that
thousands of Republicans were driven from
the polls; but the following dispatch to the
Associated Press exposes the falsehood:
LITTLE Rock September ls.-oficial returns of
governor; Berry, Democrat. 1855; Slack, Repub
lcan, a. S52; Garland, Greerbaeker. 10,142 Total
vote, 144,I69-the largest ever polled.
The vote of Alabama in the gubern atori al
election on the Sd of August was small; ergo,
1t is charged that there was intimidation and
that the shotgun policy kept the Republicans
from the polls. 1t is true that not oue-half the
legal voters in Alabama voted in the August
election, but this can be attributed to the
fact that many Democrats failed to vote,
knowing that the Democratic ticket was GER
tain to triumph, and the same reasons caused
thousands of Republicans to remain away
from the polls. A small vote is no test of
intimidation, as the vote cast in all elections
Ia not in proportion TO the number of voters.
The following figures show the voting popu-
lation and the actual vote polled in 1880:

ia Hubbell corruption fund TO induce me n
TO vote according to avarice instead OF their
convictions. The ballot-box Is the free
mans bulwark, and it should be protected
and made pure. Two years ago, when Cen
eral Chalmers claimed a seat in Congress to
which he was not honestly elected, the AP-
PEAL denounced the outrage. 1t showed
that an attempt had been made TO steal the
liberties of the people in the "shoes,ring" dis
trict by making the ballot-box political
dice-box, loaded by political black-Iegs. 1t
is still the enemy of election frauds. III
also wars upon the frauds of Republicans
who carry elections by intimidatIDg Demo-
cratic laborers, and who in the South, while
prating about free ballot and a fair count,
are distributing a corruption fund which
changes votes not by intimidation, but by
means still more reprehensible-namely,
that of purchase by money unlaWfuly
and corruptIy obtained. II must be con-
fessed, to the shame OF the natloD, that
there are frauds In our elections. But
this is confined to the Southern Demo
Gratis. Here the trouble is not that the
negro Is prevented lrotn NOhu6 nc 'o'So
enoUgh-but that he has not a fair chow In
stuffiDg When The bsyonet and the carpet
Dagger were Withdrawn the negro lost this
precious privilege. But he votes all the
same The carpetbAgger trained him TO vote
by the wsgou-load, and the Democrats have
taken advantage of the drill and discipline.
That is all. In the last presidential election
Northern voters were openly bought and sold
at from twenty-five cents to IS a head. Phil
adelphia has long been ruled by a fra udulent
ballot-box, and the Cameron family control
every election by the free use OF money. In
most of the Northern cities sccumu-
lated wealth bids for the Offices as
beeves are sold in the shambles and
knocked down 10 the highest bid
ders. 1t is unjust for Southern newspapers
to confine their exposure and condemnation
OF elections 10 southern frauds, when Inc
Republicans carry elections at the North by
fraud and intimidation, and by the free use
of HubDell's corruption fund expect to Pur-
chase enough votes to carry all the doubtful
at the South.
