CAMPAIGN COMMENTS.

When Vermont Republicans can be in
duced to bolt national ticket the very eX-
treme of political chaos has surely been
reached. Yet a hundred and fifty such held
a meeting in the town Of Brattleboro' the
other day and resolved to have conference
for the purpose of putting an independent
State ticket in the field. They further re-
of Blaine "the triamph of the worst ele-
ments of the party" and they pledged him
their "hearty and infexible opposition"
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher said to
newspaper correspondent yesterday, in re-
gard to the editorial in the Independent: 81
am in no way moved by the utterances OF
that paper and the announcement of its
withdrawal from the support of Cleveland.
I am not only determined to support him,
but shall, in future, decline to listen to or
read anything further of a scandalous ma
ture regarding the Democratic candidate,
unless something occurs far beyond what
can imagine. 1 equally decline to listen or
to refer to any scandal against MIR. Blaine.
exception of the electors. Those shall re-
move and replace with the Democratic
electors.o
Leading friends of Mr.. Blaine appeared
in the Connecticut Republican Convention
and urged the nomination of eX-Congress-
man Lounsbury, millionaire, for Cover
nor, on the ground that he would be a lib,
eral contributor" to the State and National
campaign fund in event Of his nomination.
But he was defeated for the nomination
by Hon. Henry B. Harrison, whose friends
claimed that with his name at the head OF
the ticket there ''Would be no use of pin
ming a pocketbook to it," The friends of
the pocketbook aspirant are very sore over
his defeat, and prophesy that the successful
aspirant will fail to enthuse the party.
Governor Waller is confident of Democratic
success in November.
An Illinois correspondent Of the New
York Herald writes: "The German element
is decidedly for Cleveland. The iToats Zei-
t,nag of Chicago, Herman Raster, editor,
used to be a bitter Republican sheet and a
bitter hater of the Democratic party; but it
has now hoisted the ticket of Cleveland and
Hendricks at the masthead of it's editorial
columns. I understand that seventeen pa
pers in Ohio that supported Garfield are
now for Cleveland"

front of this huge organization of ofice-hold-
ers, corporations and monopolies, that it
could never be overcome bya majority ofless
than two-thirds of the American people,
and he was probably less surprised than
most men by the bold crime which seated
the defeated candidate. In 1880 money was
even more freely applied. The State of In
diana was completely debauched, and with
in a few weeks after the event the men
who supplied the means men who ex-
pended them openly boasted that the ver-
dict of that State had been bought. Wheth-
er the managers will this year be able to
raise corruption funds of equal magnitude
we cannot say. It will be recollected that
in the summerof 1880 Mr.. Garfield and Mr..
Blaine and their peculiar friends were in
sore straits. They believed Indiana and even
Ohio were lost to them as matters then
stood. They had exhausted their resources
and confessed defeat. Nothing but a fresh
and very large corruption fund would save
them. In their extremity they bargained
with the stalWarts got the means to buy
Indiana and to rescue Ohio !; and then when
the administration, thus created, came into
power, they declared war of extermina-
tion upon those who had won the tainted
victory. That source of supply will doubt
less be found to be dried up in 1884. But
the officeholders, the land grant lords, the
remnant of the star-routers, and the peculiar
friends of Mr.. Blaine, with whom he dealt
so freely, while in Congress, remain.
The increasing corruption of elections
and especially Of presidential elections-is
one of the most omnibus signs of the times.
The cost direct and indirect is beyond COM
putation, because the data for any calcula-
tion, instead of being published, as it should
be, is studiously, and for obvious reasons,
concealed. 1t is time that good citizens re-
fleet seriously upon their duty in the premi-
ses. 1t is not an agreeable spectac cle-this
of prosperous men, standing we'll in their
communities, and many of them identified
with churches and philantropical enterpris-.
es, subscribing hundreds of thousands of
dollars to be expendended by political
agents without accountability to anybody.

MONEY IN ELECTIONS.

A Washington letter says: 1t has been
stated that the Republican managers will
put twenty thousand marching men, fully
equipped, into the field in Philadelphia dur
ing the present campaign, and that the cost
of their army of shouting torchbearers will
be not less than S2,000,000 in cash. This is
only one item of the cost of a. presidential
canvass in one city. What, therefore, if
this be true, would be the grand aggregate
Democrats will, it is believed, not make use
of one-tenth of that aggregate, whatever it
may be- It is a mere matter of ordinary
business to spend money for the attainment
of desired objects, and but for the methods
employed in spending it, not peculiar to
Republican politicians by any means, men
mi ght scatter millions broadcast through a
political campaign and the country be none
the worse for it. In fact money is as neces-
sary to conduct political campaign as it is
to carry on a camp-meeting, and there can
innate use in the one case than the other.
1t is the corrupting use of it which is the
point of objection.
Since 1864 the Republican party has relied
upon the power ofmoney to secure renewed
leases of it's control of the Federal Govern
ment, as no other party ever did in this
country. And the reliance has seldom fail
ed them-indeed, it has never failed them in
the main struggle to retain the Presidency.
It was not unnatural that men and interests
favored by the policy of the Republican par
ty, at the expense of the masses of the peo-
pie, should be more than willing to pour out
small portion of their gains to preserve a
state of things so favorable to their own
pockets. After the destruction of slavery
the animating principle of the party in its
better days was lost, and adopting the views
of the old Federalists it became the party
of Capitalization, of monopolists, of rings,
and of favored classes, until it may be
said to be but a vast aggregation of special
interests, seeking perpetuation and artificial
advantages at the expense of the productive
labor Of the country. Such party necessa-
rily favors high taxes and extravagant ex-
penditures. The existing Federal surplus
is the inevitable result Of the whole policy
of the Federalist Republican leaders, and
any measure looking honestly to reduction
would be directly contrary to the spirit of
the party. 1t would be very remarkable if
an organization composed of such materials
could not command money in any amount
deemed necessary to keep it in power. In
1876 it's expenditures were fabulous, though
they were not sufficient to prevent the de-
cree of the ballot boxes against it's candi-
dates. But money combined. with corpo-
rate influence accomplished by fraud in
counting the votes the end which they had
failed to accomplish in the elections. Mr..
Tilden, the reform candidate Of that year,
had declared that such was the adamantine

A.WOMAN HER MURDERED HUSBANDS
AvENGER.-Mrs. Alice l.. Thompson, of
Atlanta, Superintendent of the Press depart
ment of the Woman's National Christian
Temperance Union, was in the city yester-
day en- route to Waxahatchie, Texas. A
Times reporter had the pleasure of meeting
Mrs. Thompson while in the city. She rep
resents the true character of O high born,
aristocratic Southern lady in every respect.
She is brilliant conversationalist and one
is held as if by magic by her eloquent lam
guage, spoken in soft, mellow voice; MRS
Thompson, is writer of considerable note,
and the work of her pen is in demand by
publishers. During: the reporters CONVEX
sation with the lady she stated to him the
object of her visit to Texas.
Twenty years ago Mrs. Thompson was
the wife Of Col. Seffels, then the colonel
of Confederate regiment in Texas. Pre-
vious to the war he was engaged in the cat
tie business. When the war broke out her
gallant husband organized regiment and
entered the Confederate service. He placed
a man named Pellon in charge of his busi-
ness before leaving home.
The manager proved to be a man of dis.
reputable habits and frequently disposed of
money to his own use. When the latter re-
turned home on furlough he at once dis
missed Pellon. The latter sWore vengeance
against Colonel Seffels, and the day previous
to his return to the army he was shot dead by
PellOn, who was concealed, before his Wife's
eyes, Pellon was arrested, but broke Jail
while mob was being organized to lynch
him. Mrs. Seffels left Texas and went to
Atlanta where she married w. L. ThOmp-
son several years afterward. A reward of
So 600 was offered for Pellon by Mrs. Seffels,
but nothing was heard of him until ten days
since, when he was captured in western
Texas Strange to say all the witnesses
against Pellon are still living, and with Mrs.
Thompson, will appear against him. Pellon
is now eighty years old, and since he com:
mitted the terrible deed has married and
has four children.-C Chattanooga Times.

Soaring THE REPUBLICANS.-T New
York correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
writes: Gen Butler and Secretary Chandler
held private interview on Friday morn
ing. It is stated that the Republican
managers have to-day expressed alarm at
Buffers programme for q fusion electoral
ticket, and its effect on Blaine's prospects
in States like Michigan, Iowa and Mas
sachusetts. It is also said that Secretary
Chandler's interview with him was for the
purpose of inducing him to reconsider this
plan, and to run straight electoral vote
of his own. A friend of Gen. Buffers said
tonight that he had positively refused to
listen to this advice, and had stated that
should he follow that course everyone
would believe the assertion recently made
to the effect that he was running in the in
terest of Blaine. This was not his purpose
he was running solely in his interests and
that of the working men whom he repre-
sented, and he did not intend the people of
this country to believe for one moment
that he was dummy for any man or any
candidate. He intended to make the best
of the resources at his command, and to do
everything to build up his party. Should
his programme of fusion in electoral tick
cts in doubtful States be carried there, there
could probably be only one result, namely,
the throwing of the election into the House
of Representatives. Should that occur, the
people of this country would no longer look
down upon the party which he represented,
but would hereafter regard it as factor of
great importance, and one to to be concllla-
ted. In his opinion it would also have re-
suit in giving to it an impetus which would
make it one of the great parties in 1888.

Again thesounds of horse-hoofs are break

him into that splendid valley, in little com,
panies and in long, weary file, jaded and
battered, and mended, after mountain style,
200 emigrant wagons. They emptied their
families here and there, the women and
children and scattered all about were cattle

the inevitable rifle, lounged and strolled.
And they continued to arrive even after the
