Hon. George L. Walton and His
So-Called Reasons for Bolt
ing the Democratic
Ticket.

22d inst. we find a long letter fire
nunciation from support Of the De-
mocratic ticket by the distinguished
gentleman whose name heads this
article. By this public confession,
it may be styled protest, he is now
neither "of us nor with us; i. e.
that large majority Of his fellow
citizens who having long since tired
of the CALLING chains Of Radical
misrule in the general government,
have frequently striven by "a fair
count and honest vote" to throw Oft
said shackles. In times past Mr..
Walton has been justly regarded a
prominent leader in these efforts,
but at this the eleventh hour Of his
political career he has just had his
eyes opened and his understanding
enlightened, and according to the
best judgment of his head and
heart corruption and intimidation
have been the practices heretofore
| in elections in this State, Hear
him: "Our elections in this State
are VIGOROUSLY carried by the most
open and shameful frauds" etc. If
this be SO, which we deny, MIR.
Walton himself, if not a particeps
c,iaainis therein, was certainly for a
long time the recipient Of stolen
goods, for he has shown a wiling
ness to enjoy political honors--has
actually shared in them-when he
must have known them thus fraud
ulently conferred; or perhaps it is
that he is only Disguised with a
constituency that has relegated him
to private life, in which case how
applicable the distich-
"The devil got sick, the devil a
saint could he.
The devil got we'll, the devil q
saint was he"
Mr.. Walton expresses the certainty
of the election of Blaine and To-
gan, and just to see how good it
will feel he longs to be for once on
the winning side, where there may
be chance Of his at least smelling
at the flesh pots Of Egypt, thereby
proving his preference to ''rule in
HI rather than serve in heaven"
for, according to his account, he
has suddenly discovered a political
\ heaven in the Republican camp
Vain and futile hope and conclu-
sion! Mr.. Walton's panygeric on
the party Of his new found faith is
absolutely absurd, coming as it does
from so enlightened a source. He
has indeed the full inherent right to
vote for the candidates of his
, choice, but when he processes to
give reasons for the faith within
him we must be permitted to say
with due Difference, they should be
more cogent than any embraced ii
his late pronumciamento. His view:
, and assertions as to the policy O
the two parties on the tariff, ane
more especially that Of the improve
ment of the Mississippi river, are 81
4 totally at variance with the tru'
!. facts as they exist as to render re
futation unnecessary, for with tn

THE cholera PLACE in the South

the IRISH VOTER.


The Democratic party is in II great
stew over the threatened bolt of the
Irish voters of America. Cleveland l.
not only shown himself their enemy
and the ecemy of the laborcr hut
Blaine's record shows him TO be their
friend. Not only that but the Repnb-
lican platform and Blaine's letter de
clare unequivocally for the protoc-
ton of American industries. The
Irish World did not even wait for the
nomination Of Cleveland but came out
for Blaine. The Boston Pilot, another

leave of absence, during the present
presidential contest and has also sent
his resignation TO the state democratic
committee, as presidential elector. lie
gives as his reason that he cannot con-
sistently support the ticket nominated
bv the Democrats. There is no use
for the Democratic party leaders TO
attempt TO Disguise the fact that Blaine
will get the no nest Irish vote of this
country. I'm any event il will not 90

Journals see the inevitable and have

Will be taken out of the party rut.

land is the best certificate attainable

Everybody believed that when
Blaine's letter did appear il would
need no interpreter. Whatever The
Democratic party may say OF him rs
man, as politician, or as a leader,
they know he is no higgglc-haggling
wriggler, whose words tend TO dis
tract rather than to elucldate, but
that he is clear cut and bold with
either tongue or pen. His letter Is
marvel in comprehensiyencss, setting
forth in a light 50 clear the differences
between the two great national par
ties, that no one, however humble, can
fail to understand. The results of the
Democratic doctrine of free trade rs
compared with those of project
ton, rs held, maintained and
enforced by the Republican party since
1860, can neither be hidden nor CLOSED
over. How the rule OF protection has
fostered American industries and
thereby protected the laborer who
carries on those industries, insuring
not only good prices for the articles
produced, but necessarily good and
prompt wages, and how upon the
other hand, free trade has been acs-
tructive of all enterprise. oppressive 10
labor, and how under il the American
laborer is forced into an inevitable
competition with cheap, poorly fed
aud pauperized workers of the OPP
pressed millions of Europe, was never
set forth more clearly:
The dudes, mugwumps, and Goldfish
aristocracy of the east who have bolt

true doctrine il contains, that in the
elevation of labor rests the security of
the co untry, and in that the higher The
wages the more prosperous the Re

protection principle is applied the more
prosperous is the manufacturer and
the greater the reward OF the produc-
er, in that each hinges the one upon
the other, and that the doctrine of
Democratic Free Trade enforced but

Gus struggle for existence the iaborcr.

Blaine's letter are the facts and figures
of history and when The votes OF No
vcmbcr shall have been counted il Will
be found that the great body of the
American people know them TO be so,
and who will have elected the author
OF that letter by greater popular
majority than any president has been
elected by since Lincoln's second ever
whelming call by united people.

Kelly bolts the ticket he will stand in
a much more manly attitude than
George William Curtis. Mr.. Curtis
was allowed the largest liberty in the
convention of which he was member

sy upon all occasions. He voted his
