Two Pictures.

What a contrast is presented at this
Gme between the Demo cratic and Re-
publican parties! s
81 The Democratic leaders VINO are
spoken of, whatever their fitness or diff
ferences on public questions, stand be-
fore the country unassailable by the OPP
position as honorable men. worthy of
trust. From Maine to California Mr..
Tilden bears the enviable reputation of
being the ablast and most sincere re-
form statesman now living. Every
Democrat admits his worth, and only
his physical condition and his personal
wishes prevent his unanimous nomina-
ton and his assured election. General
Hancock has been spoken OF by some
for denomination. No word has ever
been uttered against his reputation by
friend or foe. Senator Payne has warm
advocates. Democrats and Republic
ans concede his purity and ability.
Judge Hoadly has been suggested. He
has just been strongly indorsed by the
Democrats of his own State, and all
over the Union his high character and
capacity are conceded. Governor Cleve-
land has personal advocates. Is word
spoken against his integrity Ex-Sena-
tor Mcdonald. ex-Speaker Randall,
Bayard. Hewitt, Holman and others
have been suggested for the Democratic
nomination, and there is not among
them name which is not conceded to
belong to man of personal honor and
honesty.
How is it with the Republicans?
They are busily engaged in exposing
the records and besmirching the char
acters of their own leading candidates
for the nomination! Their proposed
Bloody Shirt campaign has been
changed to a Dirty Shirt campaign.
They are washing their soled linen in
public before the eyes and under the
offended noses of disguised people?
Look at the portrait OF President Ar
thur as painted by ex-Attorney-Ge General
Wayne MacVeagh, ex-Postmaster-
General Thomas R. James, ex-Consul-
GeneralsAdam Badeau and the Republic
an Times. Examine the certificates of
character given to Blaine by the EUen-
ing Pos: and Times. and to Senator Ed
munds by William Walter Phelps and
the Republican Tribune.
The effort of the Republican party in
its factional Jealousy, its .hatreds and
its greed for spoils seems to be to prove
that its most prominent men are venaI
and all its leading Presidential aspirants
unworthy of pubic trust. Well per-
haps the party organs are right -Er-

The convention then adjourned sine die.
The evening was spent by the editors,
their wives and friends at q banquet at the
City Hall, and to say that ample Justice
was done the bountiful spread before them
sponses, in which the f1ow of brilliant,
sensible and witty things was incessant,
helped to fttingly round off one of the
most interesting sessions of the Associa-
ton; and as grand finale all repaired to
the Opera House and tripped the light fam
tastic toe until che wee SINAI hours and
tired feet admonished them that another
day with its succeeding pleasures and du-
ties was before them.
A goodly number of the editors and their
wives participated in the trip to, Eureka
Springs, while large number left via

This division leaves US with the sub
Joined list of doubtful States:

r2~ IOtal: .... iud
Of these 103 doubtful Electoral votes,
the Democrats will require at least
4S in order to elect their nominee.
Should they carry New York and Indi-
ana. or New York and Ohio, or New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut, or
New York and the three Pacific States,
they will win with votes to spare. But
in order to do this, they must exercise
unusual vigilance, besides nominating
strong and popular ticket. Notwith-
standing all the stereotyped nonsense
that is talked and printed concerning
our Cuisines interests, the vast bulk
of the intelligent business men of the
country-petted monopolists included
are in favor of a thorough and whole
some change of administration. A
couple of hundred business men of New
York declare themselves for Arthur;
ten thousand business men in the city
are opposed to him. The conviction is
daily gaining ground that a shaking-up
and overhauling of men aud methods
at Washington would be beneficial to
the whole country. Thus a hopeful OPP
portunity is afforded the Democrats to
purify the Government, if they do not
forfeit it by laundering or negligence

The COlored Voters Lament.

just about this time the dismal wall
of the dissatisfied political darkey, who
has not been getting his share of the
Federal patronage. is heard in the land.
The weary .colored laborer who has
.toiled until he has become sunburnt in
the Republican vineyard, and has done
most of the hard voting, has, by some
strange oversight. been overlooked in
the distribution of offices. 1t frequently
happened, during the war, that where
a battle was raging, there were not
trees enough to protect the officers.
That is pretty much the way is is in
the political campaign. There are not
Offices enough for the white Republicans,
hence the complaint of the colored
voters that they are not in comfortable
most outrageously ungrateful The
colored voters have to grin and bear it;
but when the time for conventions ar
rive, they lift up their voices, and say
they want their share of offices; and if
they do not get them, they, the colored
voters, are liable to fall prey to the
enemy when the time to vote comes.
1t is self-evident fact that the Re-
publican party, in dividing out the
loaves and fishes, does not treat the
colored voter fairly. He is not treated
as if he belonged properly to the fam
lily at all, but more as if he were q
black sheep. There may be a nigger
in the wood-pile. but there is none in
the Cabinet. When it comes to sharing
the political bed, the colored brother is
left out in the cold. regardless of the
1owness of the temperature. He is
worse off than the boy who had a sell
fish brother, who took his half out of
the middle of the bed, and allowed his
companion to sleep on both sides of
him. The colored voter is not allowed
in the bed at all, but is kicked out of
the house. and told to hunt boarding
house where colored people are taken in.
The colored man has to put up with
GOODNESS and studied neglect from the
Administration until the Presidential
campaign opens, and then, as we have
stated, he looks black, protrudes his
lip, kicks, and otherwise behaves like
the bad little Niger that he is; but he
is speedily Gained down by promises,
and threats to turn the Democrats
loose on him. When election day
comes on, he is an indignant coloreds
voter no longer. He votes early and
often, and in the hope of ..forty acres
and a mule, or some foreign mission,
he rolls up the usual Republican ma
iority. He may promise during the
campaign to vote the Democratic
ticket. but when he comes tovote he is
the same unreliable darkey he always
was.-Iezas Sitttags.
