OF course they mean TO vote the regular Demo-
cratic ticket, though they love to whisper softly in
their own expansive oars that Hendricks doesn't
count. He counted for "A great deal in 1876, "hen

heads and maatonists" the illustration of a
hollow prctence." As to the " cheating" of Mr.
HcndIicSs out of the Office in 1S76-'77, after he
had been elected we could say great deal, but
on that topic it would be positively cruel not to
surrender the floor to President llayes's Secretary
0i the Interior. Proceed SIR. Schurz, You have
caught the Speakers eye.

wG",aver you can and thar with No uncertain sound
3od help you FOR cant"-lGcneral Butler in National
Democratic Convention
The convention refused, and the party is now
calculating that this same General Butler will adj
wise tho workingmen not to abandon the party
which insulted them by that refusal. Ii happens
that the woringmen do their own thinking. They
saw what the convention did, and understood it.
They have seen, too that the Republican party mas
always done for them the very thing that the DEM
ocrats refused to promise. They have read Mr.
Blaine's letter, and see in it powerful argument
for the policy which the Democratic Convention
rejected. Consequently great body of them are
going to for him. 1t viii be noticed that Cen
erl Butler told the exact truth-that 1t would not
be in his power to help party hostile to the needs
of the workingmen. He did not say God help
you. for shant,' but no did say God help you,
for emit"
The foreign policy Of the Democratic party viii be moro
vigorous than that OF the Republican party ever has

Vigorously British of course. But if Carter ever
learns to tell the truth in politics his best friend
will not know HIM.
HIS Governor Clcvelana's unrcsaryed intelligent aud
sincere support of reform I'm The civil Service has firmly
established that reform the S'a,o and the cities of
Nry,Y or and his personal convictions proved by his
oIici apts NOR dotsre imam .nr oossble platform
declarations, the guarantee that IN TIA spirit and il,
letter reform would be enforced I'm the National Admins
tr3tion-Ad Address of the Democratic Dependents, read
by George William Curtis.
Witness Sheriff Davidson and Commissioner
Hubert .. Thompson. Alegslatiye committee sub
mtted conclusive evidence Of gross frauds and mis-
mana cement in the SheriTs Office, but Governor
Cleveland has suspended action in this case and
has accepted the political support Of tho corrupt
ring whose mlsdceds have been brought to hight
Mr.. 5000 thompson and his official methods have
been arraigned by a Grand Jury and a legislative
committee, but Governor Cleveland has shielded
and protected him, yetoing the Tenure Of Office
bill and accepting in return his political support at
Saratoga and Chicago. The candidate upon
whose "unreServed, Intelligent and sincere sup
port Of reform in the Civil Service Mr.. Curtis
builds his hopes is to-day the representative of the
Manning political machine and ofcorrupt rings IN
New-York. The platform upon which he stands as
a candidate has a beggarly and meaningless phrase
about Civil Service reform. whereas the Republican
platform contains n Civil Service plank framed by
Mr. Curtis himself.
Mr. Blaine compares increase of values in Massachu-
sctts and Illinois, NewJersey and iowa TO show t9at
agricultural wealth has increased and that this
is a resuIt of the tariff Nobody can say why ne
this. II IL nor rsassnng Ask the working farmer who
speculative laud values Ia an increase OF real weatn
land values They Increase with population under any
secure government with or without protective tarf

On the contrary. Mr.. Blaine shows that he is con-
versant with the freshest and most authentic in
formation respecting agricultural valuations. The
reports of tho Department of Agriculture and the
census tables fully and uncqniv0cally sustain his
argument. Take for example, Texas the state
which this Galveston journal understands better
than any other. The percentage of workers in agri
culture is sixtv-nne, leaving the very low per-
ccntage of thirty-One for manufactures and other
pursuits. The average valuation OF land per acre
is 81 20. In Illinois, on the other hand, where the
percentage of agricultural workers IS forty-four'
and whore manufacturing and industrial pursuits
IL ,1rtan Of
land per acre has advanced to $3l 81 In like
manner, the income of the farmer, represented by
the value of the products of agriculture, has in
creased largely as the proportion of population en-
gagged IN non-acricutuml pursuits has expanded.
This is what the diyersifcation Of labor accom-
pshes for tho benefit of the agricultural classes.
1t makes the farmers land and the farmer produce
more valuable. And the Investigation of labor is
one of the prime objects and direct results of the
American 81 stem of protection.
