AFTER considering the matter, a few of the
more patriotic democrats in the house came
to the conclusion that upon the whole it
would be best to furnish the new war vessels
with guns. Tho senate amendment adding
100000 to the naval appropriation bill for
this purpose was concurrcd in by vote of
1877 nays to lOG nays. Mr.. Blackburn, who
generally carries a pretty level head, mado
the motion TO concur when tho bill was being
considered in committee of the whole, while
Mr.. Randall tried to frighten democrats from
voting for it by giving notice that he would
call for tho yeas and nays when tho amend
ment was reported to the house. He carried

JUST what was the result of the election
held in Louisiana on Tuesday is not known,
but it is evident the democrats are badly
scared. Tho meager dispatches of Wednes-
day were significant of heavy republican
gains. Since then returns have been with
held. 1t seems evident that the ringsters in
New Orleans are purposely delaying the
count until the back parishes have been
heard from, so that doctored majority can
be returned sufficient to meet the exigoncies
of tho occasion. A citizens meeting
has been called by the mayor to deliberate
upon the proper course to pursue in view OF
the delay in reporting results. 1t is not al
all beyond the bounds of probability that Mr..
Stevenson has really defeated McEnery for
governor upon the vote cast, but it is ex-
tremely improbable that he stands any show
of being returned as elected. The bourbon
returning boards can DO depended upon to
attend to that phase of the matter.

The Associated Press reporters, as usual, are

ing Mr.. Blaine. The Fall River agent, reporting
the Republican in that city said the votes
in the wards showed that the republicans were
divided between Edmunds and Blaine. The
votes OF four wards have been published, Ed

one. Arthur was ahead OF Blaine in two wards
but tho reporter ignored him altogether.

"MOnODOly" Cleveland.

Hon. +. b. Thurber of New York, the
leader of the anti monopoly movement in that
city, speaks of the democratic presidential
candidate as follows
We don't like Mr.. Cleveland, nor his friends
His whole course as governor has been in
favor of monopoly as against the general
public interest We are in favor of free
canals, and yet Governor Cleveland appointed
Mr. Shanahan. favored contractor of the
York Central road, superintendent of public
works This appointment virtually gives the
control of the canal system to the New York
Central railroad The people waited cheap
fares on the elevated roads, and the Legislas
turc passed bill reducing the fare to five
cents but the governor was faithful to his
friends, and. despite the popular wish, vetoed
the measure Everything in his admins
traton has shown that his Sympathies are
with corporations and not with the people.
In vetoing this bill he adopted the arguments
of David Dudley Field, the counsel for the
elevated roads | don't know who advised
him to veto the bill limiting the hours of
work of car drivers to u hours, but sup
pose he did it on general principles and for
the sake of his friends. the wealthy corpora
tons
There are other actions of Governor Cleve-
land that seem to show that he is creature
of the monopolsts and capitalists, but these
| have no time at present to recall. If the
people want to be ruled by the wealthy,
criminal classes. and if they desire to see the
national government prostituted to the lusts
of greedy and INSCRIPTIONS monopolists, let
them vote for Governor Cleveland.

WAsHINGToN, July IA, 1884.
REV. JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE, d. ID.
Dear SIR will you explain how you can
support for the vice-presidency a man with
the record which Hendricks has?
He voted for the repeal of the Missouri
compromise, which brought on the war
In the Senate he opposed the repeal of the
fugitive slave law.
In the same body he opposed the constitu-
tiousl amendment abolishing slavery.
He was throughout rebel sympathizer,
and in 1865 he presided at State convention
which denounced the northern war party.
When he was commissioner of the general
land office he was one of the first federal
otfice-holders who levied political assessments
upon government employees.
To all the principles which were so dear to
Governor Andrew, yourself. and the rest OF
us, during the war, he is protested enemy.
How can we support him?
