False Accusation Begun.

The campaign is now fairly opened on the
 part of the Republicans. The election will
 occur on Tuesday, November 2. We have
 seven weeks in which to prepare for the final
 contest. The Republicans enter in the fight
 confidently and bravely, but not with the
 confidence or bravery that are born of ig
 norance. We know that the fight will be a
 hard one and that the enemy will employ
 every device known to political warfare to
 compass our defeat. The Democratic party
 has the prestige of possessing the national
 administration and enjoys the strength con-
 seouent upon the liberal distribution
 of federal patronage in the State. Offices
 have been bestowed where they would
 do the most good to the Demo
 cratic party and not to the public.
 Everything possible has been done to
 make things ''solid" for the Democracy. Whoever shuts his eyes to these facts in
 dulges in the foolishness of the ostrich. But in the face of these obstacles the Republican party is strong and courageous and has no doubt of it's ultimate triumph.
 This latter we say from our confidence in the intrinsic ability and integrity of the Re- publican nominees, regardless of who may be their opponents. For over two weeks we must remain in ignorance of the men whom the Democratic convention will nominate; but of this the people may rest assured: they will represent party the leaders Of which ! will not scruple to resort to any means to at | tain an end. The Democratic press have al- ! ready struck the keynote of there campaign l-calumny Unable to find valid charge against the Republican nominee for Cover nor, they have begun to make false and mis- leading statements against him. Their charges, however, are all of general nature ! They dare not make them specific, for then 1 they could be refuted. One paper declares ! that the candidacy of Mir. Lounsbury presents the issues of bribery and unblushing cor | ruption," but does not and cannot cite an in stance in which MT. Lounsbury was guilty | of either.
 I Another assertion, made with the idea o damaging MT. Lounsbury, is that he is, ol
 has been, an employer of convict labor. Th' Hartford Post effectually nails that lie by 1 the following unequivocal denial: .'Mr
Morning journal and courier., 1886-09-14

Lounsbury never has employed convict la Dor, and never has received dollar that in any shape or manner can be traced to the employment of convict labor. His employees are citizens of the State of Connecticut in good and regular standing, and to. a man they testify to his uniform kindness and re- gard for their welfare"
 Again, the Democratic press pretend that MT. Lounsbury is not Connecticut man,
 because he is attending to temporary of
 fee in New York city, and they sarcastically
 remark that the time has not yet come when
 the people of this State must go to New
 wasted. Mir. Lounsbury is as thorough a Connecticut man as any in the State. He
 was born here, has always lived here (except- ing couple of years or so in his boyhood when he was clerk in store in New York; and has had all of his business here, Gin New Haven and South Norwalk) as long as he was actively engaged in his manufacturing pursuits At present, as we have pre- viously stated, he is temporarily filling po- sition in New York bank which he accept ed for only such @ length of time as should be necessary for securing permanent presi dent. As Connecticut has been the place of his birth and the scene of his lifelong activi- ties, the imputations against him as for cigner are decidedly femsy.
 These are samples of the arguments which the opposition are employing and will proba- ply continue to employ in the present cam paign. They show the desperate straits to which they have been driven by the action of the Republican convention in nominating clean, upright candidates. The truth is, the Republican ticket is invulnerable, and the enemy are exasperated because they cannot find defect in it's arn1or.

South Carolina CIay-Eaters.


 Here there was genuine centenarian. But what a strange-looking being he was. How unearthly his visage, how yellow his complexion and how shrunken his cheeks, what pleading but lusterless eyes and what a miserably emaciated and drawn up body. A type of man but infrequently met with. l had seen him before and had encountered in the streets of Columbia occasionally men and women not unlike him. but had never imagined that he was more than sixty-fve or seventy years old. The eyes of my medical friend followed the retreating form and he dryly remarked, "Do you know that he is a genuine clav-eater?" "A what" exclaimed I. "Why, a man that lives on clay; one whose principal aliment is kaolin or a kind of smooth, gritless moist clay that abounds in all sand-kill regions. It is strange: yet it is true. have made study of the ques- tion, and have during my Investigations wit messed some striking revelations. Now to begin with, 1 have seen 'sand-hillers in cer tain parts of North and South Carolina, and some within ten miles of Columbia, while engaged in eating their dinner, and have ob- served them consume with evident relish large quantities of clay; and what's more, I have joined in their frugal repast and par taken of some of the stuff myself. It is nearly tasteless, but some of the clay eating
 epicures profess to enjoy it because of deli cate flavor it possesses It is white, devoid of grit and not unlike the kaolin of which plates and saueers are made. There is noth- ing disagreeable about this clay and it may be taken into the stomach with impunity. It is not inj jurious article of diet; in- deed many contend that it insures longevity and wards off several diseases. There are well authenticated instances of wonderful longevity among sc1ay- eaters, and it is well understood by such of the faculty as have studied the subject that none of the sand hillers' ever suffer with indigestion or dys- pepsia, and have never known one to die of consumption; in fact, foolish as it may seem, am constrained to believe that this strange habit exempts the 'clay-eaters' from many of the ailments to which the rest of the human family are heir. Of course there is nothing very succulent or nutritious about slice of clay, but it certainly allays the gnawings of hunger. This it does by distending the walls of the stomach. It is not to be ex- pected that clay diet will take entirely the place of bread and meat, but it does this to certain extent. As 8 general thing they eat only one sort of clay, but sometimes their table is garnished by kind of yellow mari, somewhat scarce, which they consume with keen relish. It is said to taste sweet
 and they use it as dessert. They, however,
 draw the line at red clay This not even their iron-clad stomachs can digest. Don't you eat red clayF I asked gawky old fel-
 low. No, surree, was his animated re-
 sponse, I have occasionally had CT brick in
 my hat, but I'll be blamed eff banker after making my bowels brick-yard.'"

A HOPEFUL VIEW.

1 The paper read by Mr.F. B. Sanborn at the
 meeting of the Social Science association in
 1 Saratoga was timely and hopeful. The sub
 stance of his argument is contained in the
 l following sentences: II wish to say that la-
 l bor itself is dependent at every stroke on
 I capital; that exertion must always be pre- eeded by ownership of some kind; that the
 l laborer IS capitalist, and every century
 I more and more such, while the capitalist is
 1 more and more laborer; that is, the prop | erty of the world was never more actively
 i entering into the work of the world than
 l now"
 l MT. Sanborn believes that the constant eff
 l feet of modern civilization, whether the gov
 erning classes so intend it or not, is to in-
 crease the wealth and the comfort of the l multitude He goes on to say: We can see ] this on a great scale in our southern States, ! where the 100000 slaves who did not own even themselves have developed into 6,500, 000 of freedom, owning 8 vast amount of property in the aggregate, and constantly ! adding to it. Nobody can with any reason maintain that in the former slave States, for twenty years past, 'sthe rich have grown richer and the poor poorer" for there the 1 rich have surely grown poorer and the poor richer Mir. Atkinson has shown, too, in that interesting essay read here two years ago, and which he has since expanded into volume, that in the manufacturing eommu- mites of the North the same accumulation of wealth iI the hands of the middfing and poorer classes has been going on, at the e1- pense of those large profits upon capital which were gained in New England forty or fifty years since. Notwithstanding the enor- l nous total of many private fortunes in the United States, it will be found, if we look at the still more enormous increase in the aggregate possession of tho multitude, that the balance of gain is on the side of the many rather than of the few. And there are communities where great private for l tune, moderately taxed, has gradually i'm proved the condition of every person in that community.
 This is a somewhat different view of things | from that which has been popular, but it has strong support in facts.
