THE SOLID SOUTH.
It's Methods Prncticed In OhIo-Whnt
Democrat Says.

Hf democrat Says. =
To he Editor Of ne Iaelliqzae1.
SIR:-I cannot forbear sending you an
extract from q private letter received here
to-day from prominent Democrat OF Gin.
cinnati, showing that thcsolid South, with
its shotgun policy, has been temporarily
transferred from the State OF Mississippi
to the State OF Ohio:
To-day is election day. You know
this, but you don't know what misera-
bic, disgraceful affair it is in this city.
There have been no less than fifty fights
within one square OF US. Two men were
shot and don't know how many men,
mostly black, have come by the office on
a dead run, with heads and faces gashed
and five hundred people running after
them with clubs and pistols. 1t is dis
graceful. | am very glad that I scratched
nearly every Democrat off my ticket, in
Guiding the candidate fot Congress. I am
not willing to vote for assassination and
free trade, and will so govern myself at
the Presidential election.
Truly yours, -
The writer OF this bears an historic
name. .jEE
Besides the tariff, the question seems TO
be whether the reckless, communistic,
revolutionary and barbarous element of
society, setting aside and defying the con-
stitutional methods OF election, shall pre-
cipitate on us the anarchy OF the French
revolution. Whether the right of suffrage
guaranteed by the Constitution to the col
ored citizens Of the Republic shall be Sc
cure to them, or the name OF an American
citizen worn by q colored man is an incl
tation to brutal attack and solicitation to
wanton murder and assassination. IA
Tho Register Of yesterday served notice
on the country that there would DO Solid
South for Cleveland. S The editor is too
fair minded to deny that it is made SO by
intimidation and murder. Why, in 1876,
when they claimed we had cheated Mr..
Tilden out OF tho Presidency, in the eleven
States originally composing the Confeder-
acy, no less than 100000 colored American
citizens were DISTINGUISHED and kept from
the polls by virtue OF fraud, murder and
assassination. I.would be ashamed to be-
long to aparty that sought to be enthroned
in power on the ruins OF popular suffrage.
AS Garfield said in his Inaugural "ihe |
violation Of the sancity Of the suffrage is
crime which il persisted in will destroy
the government ITSELF" 2 ~;
{, Tho ablest Attorney General the Demo-
cratic party ever had decided that a United
States Marshal in his efforts to reclaim
fleeing bondman could summon the "posse
comitatus" Of tho State, and If need be
the whole armed forces Of the Republic.
The colored man in attempting TO vote
commits no crime against society or civiii- |
cation and why could not the same power
beinvoked to shield the citizen in the high.
est and most essential net OF sovereignty
with which the Constitution invests him.
So. II I REPUBLICAN,.

Tho Flight In November,

To tie Editor af he Iaielliqeaoer. fs-5 Sal,
SIR:-While the Republicans OF Liberty
district have not had their labors entirely
rewarded in the triumph Of the entire
ticket on Tuesday last, they have at least
the assurance Of n unanimity in their ef.
fort and work which has been done for
the same. 1t must not be forgotten that
our Congressional nominee, Gen. Golf,
who is an aYowel Protectionist and who
proposes to stand by the wool.growers OF
the county, and who has already offered q
bill in Congress looking to a restoration OF
the tariff OF 81 on wool, deserves the
hearty support Of all wool.srowers ire
spective Of party. 1t is assured that Lib.
erty district Republicans will not relax
their effort to succeed in the election OF
Gen. Golf and tho Presidential nominee.

THE pRorEus INQUIRY.

The COurt ExOnerhtes darlington,
and Somewhat Condemns IIazen.
The report Of tho Proteus Court of ln-
quiry, submitted to the Senate yesterday,
sums up the evidence and comes TO the con-
clusion that Lieutonant Darlington showed
zeal, courage, energy and efficiency in the
command of tho expedition up to the time
Of the loss OF the Proteus aud during the
long and perilous retreat In boats, but that
he made an error Of Judgment in not
waiting longer at Pandora harbor to estab-
lish depot Of supplies at Life-Boat Cove.
The error was in the exercise Of an unusual
discretion, and is not one for which he
could be held accountable.
In reference TO General Hazen the court
decides that he deserves credit for his zeal
in preparing the plan and personnel for the
expedition, but that he failed in vital par
ticulars TO comprehend tho necessities Of
the case and the means of meeting them.
He mado great mistakes In not preparing,
for the consideration Of Congress, estimates
for an expedition to be transported in ves-
sells 1t for ice navigation in opposing the
proposition to obtain men from the navy
for the expedition Of 1888 in sending an
independent command on so perilous an OK
Ger; in misinforming Lieutenant CARING
ton as to Lieutenant Greely's provisions in
a manner that gave Darlington a very false
idea of the condition of the Greely party
and led him into error; In rejecting per-
sistently and obstinately the wise and
urgently necessary plan for establishing a
depot of provisions at Life-Boat Cove on
the way northward.
This last error is condemned most
strongly, and General Hazen's explanations
of it are pronounced to be illogical, un-
tenable and unfounded.
The court cites as additional errors on the
part of General Hazen his failure to per-
ceive tho necessity for q naval tender to &C.
company the Proteus until long after ar
rangements for the expedition had com
menced, tho lax negligence and defective
method of keeping the record of public
business in the Signal Office, his failure to
investigate tho insertion of the so-called
supplemental instructions among Lieuten-
| ant Garlington's orders and the failure tC
| provide Lieutenant Darlington with copy
| of Commander Wildos instructions. After
this summary the court says
| sions arc regarded as having either directly
| led or largely contributed to the abortive is
| sue Of the expedition, yet as they arc al
| deemed to have boen due TO the lack of a wis
| provision and sound Judgment In the exercise
| OF widely administrative discretion, aud un
attended by any willful neglect or intentiona
| dereliction OF duty, the court after mature de
ceedings before general court-martial ar
| called for"

SIT is worse than folly to talk about sue

"Not by good deal. And believe Mr..
Converse would like to let 20 of 1t himself
1t is absurd to think that Democratic
House, whose very political foundation is
laid upon free trade, would increase the
duty on the most common article In use
and the article which is the acknowledged
index of tariff. oh no the Democratic
members from Ohio are not going in for an
increase of the duty on wool. They would
rather decrease it," ~
