New York San: 1t will be remem
bered to the everlasting honor of
Wendell Phillips that he was the
first Republican to denounce in fitting
terms the bargain by which Hayes
was counted in. Thirty days had not
passed after the Inauguration of the
Fraudulent President when Mr..
Phillips drew his picture of the cow

of March 26, 1877, was the last OF
the orators latter efforts ranking in
vigor of thought and poignancy OF

Congressman Plumb, rejecting
that the pension list is not large
enough, since it contains only q little
more than three hundred thousand
names, has introduced q bill that en-
deavors to partly repair this great
public want. Among those whom he
would add to the rolls are all who,
though discharged from the army,
after service in the civil war, in good
health, and without wounds or any
disease acquired in the service, now
feel "unable, by reason of physical
disability, to earn their subsistence"
How many cases might be covered
by this new class of indisposed pen
sioners 40 one knows; and Mr.. Plumb
at least, does not care. He is O bad
DIum.

erection of postofice buildings in oil

General suggested, however, that the
bill be amended so that the buildings
shall not exceed SIS, 900 in cost, and
that they be constructed under the
direction of the Postofice Depart
ment instead of the Treasury Depart

made, and Mr.. Hill thinks his bill
will become a law. If it does, it will
result in the erection of at least two

The Pittsburg correspondent of
the New York Herald has been in
terviewing manufacturers of that city
in relation to the tariff and its effect
upon labor and the productive in
dustries. The views of many promi.
nent Pittsburgers go to show that
much of the protested anxiety fol-
American labor is fraudulent, that
there is considerable humbug in the
talk about 'the pauper labor of Eu.
rope" and that in despite of "pro.
lection" there is little work and small
remuneration for labor.

Being of the opinion that it is time
for the national Democracy to enter
practically upon the task of organic
ing their presidential campaign, the
New York Daily Nevs discusses the
political situation and brings for
ward our "old commander" as the
man for the hour and the people. 1t
says:
1t has been repeatedly said and
published, and no doubt, authorita-
lively that Samuel j. Tilden will not
accept a nomination as candidate for
the Presidency. In the face of that
we say, let the nomination be tender
ed him, as it should be, by acclama-
ton of the convention, and we do not
think that it is a possibility that a
patriot, such as MI. Tilden is, would
reject the mission. involving the
vindication of the nations honor. 1t
is true that in the service of his
country he has become physically
feeble, but mentally he is the peer
of any man that could be made avail
able as a candidate; and, certainly,
he is strong enough in mind and
body to be q living exempliication
of the will and power of the Ameri-
can people to vindicate the. virtue of
the elective franchise and put our re.
publicanism right before the world.
1t is our conviction that tho old tick
ct, elected in 1876 and withheld from
office by an Unreasonable fraud,
would inspire the Democracy
throughout the length and breadth
of the land and throw the shadow of
political death upon the campaign of
the Republican party.

The Chicago Herald remarks that
the Democratic platform on which
the Presidential canvass in 1876 was
made-namely, that "no more reve-
nue. ought TO be raised than is re-
quired to defray the necessary ex-
penses of the government and pro-
vide for the gradual but certain ex-
tinction of the public debt"-was as
q financial proposition, sound doc
trine then and is sound doctrine now,
covering the whole case, and that

defamation this year will bring it.

The New York Times, the leading
Republican paper, in speaking of the
Democratic Senators not paying at
tention to the bloody shirt speeches
of SHERMAN and MALONE, says:

Abe resolution. 1t provoked no sec
tional discussion, and showed plain
ly that the sectional issue is dead be-

The present Ohio Democratic
Legislature seems to have taken the
colored population under its wing.
1t has passed the. civil rights law,
which provides that call persons

lishel by law, and applicable alike
to citizens Of every "A and color,
regardless of any previous condition
Of seryiiude." The Republican U. S.
supreme Court declared this same
law unconstitutional, and we think a
Dem cratic Legislature could have
afforded "a let It rest il is little bed.

The Akron Times says: The
question is not fairly stated: A Re-

That's not it. The question to be
decided is, whether we shall ship of
our surplus b-eadstuffs, provisions,
cotton and tobacco to Europe, OF

The Allentown pa Democrat
well observes that the Republican
party in the beginning ola presi-
dentisl year never had so much lost
ground to recover before it could
hope to win as it has to-Gay. In the
State elections that Immediately pre-
ceded 1872 and 1880 the Republicans
were victorious in States casting a
majority of the ELECTORAL votes of the
country. In the winter Of 1876 they
had the best right to claim the votes
of IA out Of the 500 members of the
electoral college, for e with the
wreck made oy the tidal wave of
1874 the ebb of 1875 had left them
in possession Of twelve northern and
three southern States. 1t took the
hardest kind of fighting to win the
Al votes more that they needed, and
it "a only by the grace CT the re-
turning boards that they contrived
to hold on to the three southern
States that they had previouly car
ried. If in November next each
State of the Union is carried by the
party which carried it in the last
election held within it, the Demo.
cratic nominees will have 26S cleo
toral votes to 1873 given to their Re,
publican competitors. 1t is true that
as a rule the Republican party devel
ops q greater relative strength in

time, but it will tax the utmost re
sources of any party, no matter how
rich, well organized and ably led il
may be, to recapture 81 electora
