The Political Parties Briefly Contrasted.

Editor Spectator: are blind man Is
views of the two leading political parties :
Democratic and Republican. The Demo
cratic party is the peoples party, of the
people and for ALL the PEOPLE, Reform in
all departments of the government, honesty
in all the officers of the government. The
| Democratic party is the poor, the rich, the
working, the high and tie low, and above
all, the honest mans party-the party that
all good and true men will cast their votes
with and support the Democratic nominees
Cleveland and Hendricks-for President
and Vice President, and the Democrat
nominees for Congress in each congressional
district, and thereby restore peace, love,
fellowship, and prosperity to all the people.
in all the States of the Union.
And this is a description of the Republican
party-a sectional party, party of hatred;
the monopoly party; the party of rings and
cliques; the party of bosses; the party OF
sone-man" power; the NEST corrupt party,
Except ex- Mahone's party0 the party for
the few (rich) and against the many (poor;)
the party that wants none but rascals
frauds, and men of questionable character
in office; the party of high taxes to support
their army of office-holders, spies, and in
ioAiiOio, INC party thab UclicFto III duu pro

The Republican party is the party thai
all good, true, honest men are leaving tc
join in with the Democratic party to cleo
an HONEST MAN-GRovER CLEVELAND

The Republican party wants to elect &

millions in a way no honest man would do

The said blind man S advice to the people
of these United States, is to repudiate the

All the negroes i'll New York will vote
solidly for Blaine. Rev. Mr.. Derrick. one
of their preachers, and who is also one of
the Republican Presidential electors in that
State, speaks as follows of the Irish Amer
lean voters:
81 believe that the time is coming when
lrishmen and negroes will split up and vote
differently from their present solid ranks,
but that time has not come yet. We can
not safely leave the Republican party and
scatter our votes until the German and
Irish element-particularl the Irish ele-
ment-learns to respect our right. Ireland
is clamoring for liberty at home, and still
she is unwilling to accord the same right to
us. The Irish have been our bitter and re-
lentless foes. Every vote they have cast as
a people has been cast to enslave u.s.
Blood is thicker than water, and the
lrishmen, especially in the South, will con-
tinue in the future as in the past to vote
with their white fellow citiz ms .-Agera,a-
driG Gazette.
That is the Rev. w. B. Derrick, who lived
here, and whilst here swindled number OF
the members of his church out of their money
as has been heretofore stated. A numbe,
of the negroes here who know him best
would not vote for him for any office, and
yet the Republicans of New York, that is
those who support Blaine and Logan, will
vote for him as Elector-at-Large in their
Presidential electoral ticket. O, tenapord.

JNO. S. BARBOUR

1t is to the credit of the iron interest IN
the South that not single iron furnace
there closed during 1884 in consequence OF
the decline in the price of iron. They have
all been at work during that time SO far
Richmond State
This shows that iron can be made cheap
er in the South than in the North, and that
Northern capitalists engaged III that bust
ness will find it to their interests to remove
their PLANTS to the South, if th g tariff on
iron be not so high as to enabl them to
continue their business with profit in the
North. The manufactures of cotton and
iron in the South do not need q high tariff.
The South has the advantage Of having all
the materials necessary to these manufac-
lures near the place of manufac ture, and
thus has the advantage of saving in the cost
of freight, besides having the advantage in
the length of days, milder elm ate, and
cheaper labor, because the laborers can live
at less expense, as ttaey do not have to ex-
pend SO much for fuel, board, and clothing,
as they do where the weather is colder.
Providence has given the South nearly all
the protection it needs. Should the policy
of low duties Oh the importation of iron
and cotton goods be adopted and maintain
ed, it woad not be many years before the
South would lead in these manufactures,
for TIE. North would not be able to compete
successfully with her, and Northern men
would bring their capital, to the amount of
T,nillions, to the South. The South is now
manufacturing cotton cloth and iron cheap
Ter than the North. Northern capitalists
are now beginning to lie arm that it is to their
interests to invest their capital in the South,
and many OF them are doing SO, and many
more would, if the tariff were reduced 1t
is clearly to tho interests of the South to
have the tariff reduced, not only because it
would relieve the people generally from the
burdensome aud unjust taxes now imposed
upon them, but because it would cause an
influx into the South of millions of capital
that would be invested in manufactures by
Northern people. The South would be
musical with the hum of spindles, and the
sky Illuminated with the reflected glow of
blast furnaces.

James G.. Blaine, the special friend oil
Irishmsn, sat in his chair as Speaker of the
House during all these proceedings. He lent
all the great power of his Office to assist his
associates on the floor in their scheme Of
vengeance against poor, friendless Irish
man, who had resented in the only way
known to him what he considered an insult
to his race. All this time the small but
courageous democratic minority fought gal
lantly step by step for the defenceless pris-
oner, and never relaxed their efforts until
every possible means of resistance was ex-
hausted. Mr.. Blaine, when Speaker of the
House Of Representatives, was extremely
fond, whenever a favorable opportunity
was presented, of leaving the chair and COM
ing down on the floor of the House in dra-
matte style to exercise his right to vote
There could have been no more suitable op-
portunity than this.
No Irishman ever cast into English dun
geon was more arbitrarily and unjustly de-
prived of his liberty than was Pat Woods by
the body over which James G.. Blaine pre-
sided, and not only with not sign of dis
sent from him, but with his active CONN.,
vance and hearty sympathy. 1t was the
warrant of James G. Blaine as Speaker OF
the House which consigned him to the jail
of the District of Columbia for three
nonths, to be treated I1as other criminals 81
This action of the House of Representatives
and of Mr.. Blaine was afterwards pro-
nounced by the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States to be gross invasion of the con-
stitutional rights Of the citizen and utterly
unjustifiable from any point of view.

important one should not be neglected.
Thus by his labor as a farmer and the
full performance of his duty as citizen, he
will create and secure to himself his share
of the result of his toll, and save and guard
for all the people the most important ele-
ment in the prosperity of the State. T"

Gov. CLEVELAND SIsTER.-An ALBANY
IN. " letter says; "'Who shall be the
next mistress Of the White House?' This
query doubtless will excite the jealous Gu
riosity of many a society woman now reign
ing supreme at the head of an exclusive
set until after the presidential election is
over. 1t is not an agreeable matter for an
established leader of female society to have
herself or fashionable hobbies dethroned.
Politics prove potent arbiter of such
changes nowadays; hence the great female
interest in the forthcoming election, sutse-
quent to which, in the event of Cleveland S
election, an infinite revolution may be
reasonably anticipated, since the bachelor
Presidents sister would become the lead
ing lady of the land Mrs. Hoyt does not
reach the standard of an ultra-fashlonable
woman. She is thoroughly common sense
person, imbued with a strict view of honor,
religion and philanthropy. She is fine
looking lady of gentle, feminine ways, dig
nified and intellectual rather than naughty
or pedantic. She is a kind friend to the
suffering poor of every nationality and
creed, but she does not permit public an
nouncements Of her liberality. Doubtless
she will set various examples of economy,
domestieity and hunianitaIianism for our
American women 1t is said she is paItic-
ularly kind to poor friendless emigrants who
come from abroad to seek their fortunes
here, and l. would not be matter of sur
prise if she yet founded a public institution
for these improvident people in the city of
New York. In attire Mrs. Hoyt is simple
and stylish, her favorite costume being a
plain black silk. She seldom wears any
jewelry save tiny solitaire earrings and her
sympathetic conversationalist

MEMORABLE CASE OF PAT WOODS.
His Alleged Contempt of the House.
A N FRESHMAN THRUST INTO AN AMERICAN
JAIL ON THE WARRANT OF SPEAKER
BLAINE.
Especial Dispatch to the Baltimore SUM-


Especial Dispatch to the Baltimore SUM-
WAsHINToN, Sept. 11.-As throwing
some light upon the justice of the claim
which Mr.. Blaine lays to being the special
| friend of the Irishman, and the equally i'm
pudent and unfounded claim which Ben
Butler makes to being the special friend of
the poor laboring man, it is exceedingly
pertinent just now to reproduce from the
| Congressional Record the position taken by
both of these gentlemen in the case of Pat
Woods. On the Both Of May, 1870, Chas
81. Porter, one of that crew Of political ad-
venturers which misrepresented the South
in Congress during the reign of carpet bag
ism, was soundly thrashed in the streets of
Richmond by Patrick Woods. Porter had
in public speech asserted that the negroes
were superior to the s'dirty Irish and
Dutch, y and Pat. Woods, warm hearted,
honest, impulsive Irisman, declared in con-
sequence that he would whip Porter on
sight, and was as good as his word. Woods
was promptly arrested by the local author
tiles of Richmond and held to bail for court.
But this did not satisfy the outraged Dig
nifty of Porter. He hurried to Washington,
and from his seat in the House of Repre-
sentatives to which he had no more moral
right than the man in the moon he demand
ed the protection of that body. Instanta-
neously his demand was acceded to, and by
direction of the republican majority Woods
was arrested on mere telegram from the
| sergeant-at-arms of the House and spirited
off to Washington. The poor man was
| handed over to the tender mercies of the .ju-
dietary committee, at the head of which
was John A. Bingham, of Ohio, notorious
for his active persecution of Mrs. Surratt,
and next to him Noah Davis, of New York,
and Benjamin F. Butler, of Massachusetts,.
| Woods did not even know that Porter was
a member Of the House of representatives,
| and so informed the committee and dis
claimed in the most respectful manner any
purpose to show contempt or disrespect to
the House. After purging himself of the
alleged contempt there could be no possible
excuse in law or reason for the further de-
tention of Woods, and he should have been
RENTED for the courts of Virginia. But this
did not suit the sviews of Speaker Blaine,
Gen. Butler and the other prominent repub-
licans of the House, who had warmly COM
mended the action of the officer making the
arrest in refusing to obey the writ of habeas
corpus issued by the Virginia courts, and
who did not intend to let go Of Woods. As
Mr.. Bingham grandiloquently expressed it,
"Every man, at his peril, must take notice
who are the members of either house."
