THE democrats declare in their plat
form that the republican party has sub
iected American workmen to tho compe-
tition of convict labor. If called upon to
say when and whore, the "putrid remi-
niscence." could not answer the query,
the statement being q solemn falsehood.
But the American workinGman who cares
to inquire into the good faith of tho
statement is invited to examine into tho
convict labor system prevalent in the
southern states, whore democracy reigns
supreme and unquestioned. There he
will find that the black men are sent to
the penitentiary In droves for trivial Of
fenses that in the northern states would be-
adequately punished by fne. He would
find that their labor is leased out to con-
tractors who are at liberty to employ
them ut any form of labor they may
choose, without the slightest regard to
how free labor may be affected. He will
find that these convict laborers are
treated with q measure of inhumanity
shocking to the moral sense Of the age
He will find that men high in authority in
! tho councils of the democratic party, men
who sat in the very convention that made
this false and hypoeritical declaration
against the republican party, even O
democratic United States senator, have
grown rich from tho iniquitous profit
of.this degraded and horribly cruel con
vict labor system for (which democracy
is solely responsible, and which denoc

SECRETARY FRELINaHUYsEN has lost
no time in instructing our consuls at
tho principal European ports to do
all that lies in their power to
prevent the germs of cholera from being
carried across the ocean. Consuls can
not prevent the sailing of infected
ships, but they are instructed to appoint
competent physicians to inspect each ship
bound for United States ports, and only
to grant clean bills of health upon the
recommendation of these sanitary in
spectors. The absence Of such papers
will put the health officers on this side of
the ocean on their guard, and quarantine
regulations will be enforced against all
suspected vessels. Our consuls have also
been instructed to give notice by cable Of
the sailing OF vessels which are supposed
to have contagious diseases on board.
Should the cholera reach the great sea
ports of western Europe it can scarcely
be hoped that these regulations will keep
it away from America, but as long as the
epidemic is confined to Mediterranean
ports vigorous quarantine may shut it
out.

his hand, and Basden will prove by his
own testimony that Hursts life was in
imminent peril, and that he was obliged
to kill Lightfoot to keep him from shoot
ing Hurst with his own pistol. The gilt
tering generality in the democratic plat
form about all men being equal before the
law has no practical application in Ala
bama. 1t was simply thrown in to ease
the consciences of the republican boilers.

ONE of the leading colored republicans
Of Colbert county, Ala, has been disposed
of early in the campaign. George Light
foot. colored, had difficulty with white
iuan named sam Hurst about the change
Ing Of q So bill. The matter was settled,
aud Lightfoot went home. The next day,
when walking to church with his mother,
Lightfoot was confronted on tho road by
Hurst and another ruffian named Basden
and murdered in cold blood Hurst drew
u pistol and fred at Lightfoot wounding
him. Lightfoot wrenched the pistol out
of Hurst's hand, and rs he did this Hurst's
accomplice shot him dead. Hurst ran
away, but Basden gave himself up and
will doubtless soon be at liberty The
democratic newspapers haVo already set
mp defense for him which no Alabama
Jury will disregard. At the tiPe Light

Detroit irtcrUieU pith Gen. Butler.
~ have never told anyone that should
run as an independent candidate for pres
ident. cannot now say what will or
will not happen, SO far as the coming
election may depend upon me. Your
idea that my candidacy will draw support
parties, and that, therefore, the totals
will be proportional. not affecting the
result by vote, makes me but fly on
the wheel. Thore are hundred con-
gressional districts in which the election
is settled by less than vote of 500 one
way OF tho other, Suppose men are
organized for work IN those districts.
Who thinks it worth while to solicit their
support2 The men who want to be
governors and congressman. There are
many earnest and true men who feel that
represent them, and that should do 80
in more active way. They urge me to
remain a candidate for president, to stand
for the principles which they believe, in
which they know l sympathize. Is it
best for them and for me? l have already
accepted the nomination Of the greenback
party. The best things in the democratic
platform subscribe to. Some of them
are substantially my own.
81 have met Gov. Cleveland but once,
and have no quarrel with him. But he
is not the representative of those prin-
ciples in regard to the government of cor
porate powers, transportation, currency
and the labor question which l believe
inlet me make it plain to you-is not
acceptable to great body Of men.
"Now," continued Gen. Butler, after
this diversion, New York is the battle
ground of this election. If / were to
spread myself out thin over the country
| could effect nothing (sarcastically)-
fly on the Wheel But suppose i take
New York. In military parlance, mass
my forces-not weaken them in long
thin line. Having the motive of my
own treatment at tho convention, and
the fervent cooperation of the anti
monopolists and the greenback labor
parties, something might be done. In
that case you might change the figure

THAT eminent New England theolo-
gian, James Freeman Clarke, was SO
greatly shocked at the anti-Chinese decla-
ration in the republican platform that he
thought seriously of going over to the
democrats. The following paragraph in
the democratic platform may possibly
escape Mr.. Clarke's notice: american
civilization demands that against the i'm
migration or importation of Mongolians
to these shores the gates shall be closed"
The passage in the republican platform
which gave the New England bolters so
much pain reads as follows: "We pledge
ourselves to sustain the present law re-
stricting Chinese immigration and to pro-
vide such further legislation as will tend
to correct the evil"

THE leading English papers are unani-
nous in their approval of Cleveland's
non1nation and cordially hope for his
efGction. OF course the Irish voters of
America will be moved to enthusiasm in
Cleveland's behalf by their warmly ex-
pressed desire for his success on the part
of their worst enemies.

TiIden's Grudge Against Hendricks.

ITUVIucVIt UUWTWuF'
There was hardly candidate mem
toned for the position who would not
have done more to help the ticket than
Hendricks, even if no count is made of
that silent and secret animosity which
makes its lair in the breast Of Samuel j.
Tilden, and which has punished many
who have stood in the way of his smbi-
tion or thwarted his schemes.

GEN. BUTLER says if he g9ks into the
campaign as the candidate6f the anti
monopolists he will "concshtrate on New
York" Between ButleI>4nd John Kelly
there is evidently myth unhappiness in
store for the New YIafk democracy.

THAT minor democratic daily the New
York Times has great deal to say about
the independent republicans" of whom
it affects to be the organ. This is con-
temptble hypocrisy. The Times is now a
democratic paper in all essentials, and as
the so.called independent republicans are
"teeth and toe naip' supporting the
democratic candidates and laboring to
defeat the republican candidates, they
are no more and no less than democrats.

How do the civil service reformers,
who are enraptured with Cleveland, like

A Friendly Hint TO Hendricks.

We sincerely hope that Thomas A.
Hendricks will cling to tho little sop
thrown to him by the democratic conven-
ton. From the tail of the ticket headed
by Tilden to tho tail Of the ticket headed
by Cleveland may be startling fall, but
it is now or never.
