We have received 1.-THE Political
Educator" paper started in the in
terest of Hoadly. at Spring field, and
which takes as its special line Of work
an attempt to lead colored men into
the Democratic camp. The editorials
in this paper read like the crossroads
harangues of the small-caliber Demo-
cratic stumpers. It's editors and con-
tributors seem to have discovered that
the Republican party has been the
enemy Of the colored race all the time,
and that it was really cruel to take
the happy and contented colored man
from beneath the lash of his South
ern driver and place him upon an
equality with other men. About the
only effect this paper will have among
colored men will be to excite disgust
and contempt.

One of the great, crying, evils of
the system of public campaigning, is
the unfortunate habit Of public speak
ers to underestimate the intelligence
of their hearers. An orator should
speak with the utmost care and delib-
Grafton. He should bear in mind the
fact that most, if not all, Of his hear
ers are reading and thinking people,
and are at least nearly as we'll posted
as he is-and, unfortunately for him,
in many cases better posted-and the
mere uttering Of a statement in beau
teous phraseology does not carry with
it the weight of conviction, as against
a known fact. If an orator makes a
false statement, or a glaring blunder,
he may be reasonably certain that his
audience knows of the fact.

We would that every individual
who feels grieved that the memory of
the "bloody-shirt" still survives, could
have been in Portsmouth at the re-
cent Reunion. There were abundant
evidences there of the manner in
which it will be forgotten The warm,
manly clasp Of the hand. the tear
which cemented longtime friendships
formed amid scenes of danger and pri-
vation, the empty sleeve and the
wooden limb, all bore pathetic testi-
mony of the manner in which treason
and murder are forgotten. In view
of such scenes, the man who talks
about the scenes of the war being past
and forgotten, seems fit subject for
an asylum.

The Scion IS mistaken. Mrs Cole

the years 1S43-4, and Mary Cole

We always like the Portsmouth
Times, because Of many good quail
ties as public journal. But when
our Portsmouth neighbor goes into
politics, it makes some mistakes, as
might be expected from one in good
standing in the Democratic party. In
regard to the slapping of Durbin
Ward by Lot Wright, the Times,
seems to think that ''many old SOL
diers will grow indignant" at the as
sault upon wounded soldier. Yes
The old soldiers have been indignant
from time to time at the bad treat
ment accorded Durbin Ward. Time
after time has this man-who was a
good soldier-presented himself to the
Democratic party for nomination for
office, and as often as he has so pre-
sented himself he has been promptly
knocked down. The Democrats are
great friends of Durbin Ward now,
because, after taking nothing but
kicks from the Democratic party, he
has unselfshly labored for the success
of the party. It may have seemed
strange to some of Wards friends
that his party could treat him thus,
but we have only to refer them to the
declaration of the Democratic Party
in the only National Convention it
held during the war-that the war
was a failure, to make it plain that
Durbin was on the wrong side to call

A Dem ocratic paper published at
Macarthur, speaking Of Lot Wright
slapping Durbin Ward, is moved to
say:
"Lot Wright. the notorious U. S.
Marshal. who armed roughs. and non
resident negroes with bull dog pistols
10 overawe voters and carry the last
October election in Cincinnati"
There was just one class of men who
had cause to fear Wright and his men,
and this class possibly acas intimidated
or overawed to some extent. This
was gang Of Democratic cut-throats;
bullies and repeaters, who proposed by
the old-time Democratic argument of
brute force to carry the election in
Hamilton County. Not Democrat
living will attempt, or has made sue
cessful attempt, to point to solitary
Democratic voter who was entitled to
vote, yet who was prevented by
Wright and his men. Where these
Democratic bullies expected to find
covering and overawed Republicans,
they found bulldog pistols, and plenty
Of them. Even now the wolf is howl
ing at the mastiff which kept watch
over the sheep-fold That's all there
was of the Wright business and it is
a mystery how a decent Democrat can
circulate such stuff. As well might
the Democratic press howl at Hoadly,
because he will not pardon the prison
ers out Of the Penitentiary. For a
great majority Of them are Democrats.

There is nothing which will electri-
fly the mind of the reader, and put the
stamp of success upon a journalistic
enterprise, so quickly as the rare,
rich and racy" efforts of the country
correspondents. Some of these have
the simple merit of giving legitimate
items of news and social gossip, and
are valued to that extent. But it is
the correspondent with a mission,
who rises to the Importance of the
occasion from week to week. He
must make the press holy terror to
evil doers, and all persons who may be
be afflicted with shortcomings of
whatsoever kind. In one of our ex-
changes we notice one Of these letters
which shakes the community from
stem to stern, starting out in this
manner: "In our town there was hell,
beef and tan-bark to pay for while. "
He then goes on to say that the SEN
sation "has been smouldering in your
correspondents Uranium for some
time," hut adds that he has, like true
and fair-minded journalist, 'been wait
ing for more light on the subject be-
fore making an apocalypse" That's
right! First get the light, then sail
in and pile it onto the sensational ras-
Gals with all the power and severity
of the press. Let evil-doers tremble.
Let the public know who the misera-
BILE, unprincipled wretch 'R. E. Por-
ter" or "R. E. Searcher" or wv. R.
Iter," is, and hold him up to public
scorn, upon the sharp point of your
ready pencil. Let the power of the
press be felt.
