are as base as themselves. We are utterly
opposed to every form and method OF
lessening the sacredness and value of the
right of suffrage. We wish that by moral
education and the enforcement of law,
every violatian of this sacred right OF
freemen could be prevented and treated
with that scorn and contempt which il
deserves.
But the shameless hypocrisy Of the
Globe, the World. and other democratic
newspapers is obvious IN denouncing
bribery in The elections while it knows its
party leaders are at this date raising a
large sum of money for this very purpose,
and while they are doing their utmost to
shield the Bourbon ruffians of the South
who are robbing hundreds of thousands OF
voters of the elective franchise. There
are three forms of this monstrous wrong,
| by which the welfare and good name OF
the country are now in peril. These are
intimidation. fraud and bribery. Of all
these the democratic party is deeply
guilty. OF the first two it has an absolute
monopoly in the South. By these it
controls States and elects members OF
Congress. By these it receives electoral
votes in the choice ofPresident, balancing
whole states of honest republican freemen
in the North and West. 1t carries its
intimidation to the extent of murder and
armed violence on large and systematic
scale. This has been proved again and
again by the most complete testimony of
republican and democratic witnesses. The
fraud of false counting, and of tissue
ballots has been equally proved Yet the
Globe, the World. and their kind. ignore
or seek to lie down these appalling facts,
while they take the pains to publish list of
persons in Maine who are supposed to have
sold their votes at the recent State cleo
ton. Such double-dealing and hypocrisy,
such loud crying of stop thief, by those
who have in possession the spoils of crime,
or are. about to reap the fruits Of burglary.
is not a new device in the practice of viii
lans, but it is entirely in keeping with
that gigantic scheme of violence. ruffian-
ism, and fraud by which the Bourbons of
the South and their allies of the North,
aided and abetted by the British press and
British free trade agents and intriguers
seek to regain possession of the
national government of American free
men.

electric lights. The effect produced from so
many flashing lights was much more
picturesque than day light could have been.
About five in the morning we again began to
| watch the changing scene. Grain fields VITA
busy reapers and picturesque stacks CT
| wheat were in order all the day, yet We did
not tire of the scene, for the country was
| very beautiful with low wooded hills on each
| side and plain between, on which we held
| our way.
Most of the forenoon we were close to the
Erie canal. and for the first time beheld the
clumsy boats drawn along by mules at what
seemed snairs pace.
We reached Buffalo about noon. and about
an hour afterwards left for Niagara. As we
went out of Buffalo we had a fine view of
Lake Erie, whose waves glistened blue in the
sunlight. and seemed to caress the white
sailed ships which it bore on its bosom.
But what shall / say of the falls There
| were so many things to see, and so little
time to look. As we passed over the cantl-
| lever bridge, there were the whirlpool and
| rapids just below US, the suspension bridge
few rods farther down stream, the gorge
| itself. and about half a mile above US, the
falls in their majesty As we came up on the
Canadian side the train stopped at ''Falls
View" where thesbest view of the falls is
obtained. We were even with the Horse
shoe fall, looking above toward the Ameri
can fall. We also had good view of the
rapids above the falls, where the water
seemed to be having jubilee, dancing and
sparkling in the sunlight, hecked with foam,
then gathering itself for its mad plunge into
the abyss.
Grandeur and resistless force were COM
bined with surprising beauty. How reluc-
tant we were TO be borne away from this
enchanting scene need not say, but soon we
were speeding through Canada, with golden
fields of corn on both sides Of US, sometimes
growing amid blackened stumps of trees and
sometimes in smooth level fields.
The houses were mere huts, and it was not
unusual to see stacks of hay and grain larger
than the houses beside which they stood. As
we neared Chicago we passed through Pull
man. the magic city, which has been built up
in few years by the great palace car works.
All the buildings are of brick, and the grounds
are tastetully laid out like park, with finely
graveled drives. fountains and green lawns.
The houses for the employees, except in size,
compare favorably with some of the resi-
dences in the Back Bay district of Boston.
Soon our road lay close to the shore OF
Lake Michigan, and for seven miles we were
not once out of sight of water, seeing no land
but that on which we were. As we saw
steamers and vessels going out of sight be-
low the horizon it was difficult to believe that
we were not looking upon the ocean. When
we reached Chicago our tickets smoothed the
way for US, as they entitled us to passage
to the Union depot, and while we wait for the
train make the most of my time in writing.

The Foul Assault of the New York
World and Boston Globe on the
Freemen of Maine.

The New York World and the Boston
Globe, whose columns are daily crowded
with foul calumnies against Mr.. Blaine
and other republican candidates. which
hesitate not at any falsehood however
indecent, declared before election that the
Maine republicans were destitute of the
necessary funds to carry on vigorous
campaign. These newspapers now take
the opposite extreme of lying and delber-
ately assert the most astounding and
atrocous stories. to the effect that the
splendid republican victory in Maine,
September Sth, was obtained by the ex-
penditure of vast sums of money to bride
the intelligent voters of the State. These
newspapers, the organs of the worst ele-
ments of American society of the foulest
Stun of the large cities. OF the thieves
who rob municipalities under the forms of
law, of the men who struck at the life of
the Nation by armed rebellion and are
still proud to boast of their treason, these
newspapers, which prior to the democratic
Chicago convention plainly limited that Gro
yer Cleveland had been guilty OF offences
viii h should expel him from the associa-
ton of decent men and women,
in their issues of September 18th
utter foul libel against the cit
liens OF Augusta. OF Kennebec county.
and OF the State of Maine, by declaring
that the large majority by which they
sustain the candidacy of JAMES &. BLAINE
and trampe under feet the vile ISLANDERS
of his political opponents, was obtained
by bribery. To such shameless and afro
cious assaults on the character aud integ.
rity of the citizens of the kennebec val
ley, of the entire State, we scorn to make
an extended reply. In few weeks more
November will come, and the Globe and
the World and their corps of utterly un-
scrupulous scribblers will see the effect oil
their foul charges against the political vir-
tue of Augusta and the State of Maine.
As to the two or three affidavits which
the Globe and World publish for the pur-
pose of duplicating several vote canvass
ers in unlawful proceedings on the day of
election, they come very far short of sus-
tanning the sweep and import of the charg-
es. Every excited and contested election
gives rise to similar charges, and there
occur incidents which all good citizens
regret. But for democratic bummers and
scribblers to assert that the republicans
are MS often in fault as themselves. is an
old device of vicious men who claim that
all men have their price, and that other;
