REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS
RRIGHT

Daniel Robinson of the firm Of II. B.
Claflin & Co., New :Yo City, and
whose summer residence, Under
wood" is at Bennington Center, accord
to the New York Herald, says: 1T is
q splendid ticket, and it seems certain
of success at the polls. Nothing can be
said against the personal character of
our candidates, and that is good deal
to be thankful for nowadays, We won't
be treated to the deluge of filth which
was inflicted upon the country in 1854;
OF course the main Issue is thetaritf, and
on that it seems to ME the Republicans
are sure to win. The business COM
munity is very well satisfied with the
results of protection, and it will vote to
sustain that policy"

The convention at Chicago declined
to hear the famous orator Ingersoll
when he got so far in his splendid
speech before them as to praise Judge
Gresham. We had always understood

think the convention made mistake,
but one that will not harm the orator,

The absurdity of the cry against rail-
roads and railroad men has been devel-
oped in the candidacy of Chauncey M.
Depew at Chicago. In his speech with
drawing from the contest, he states as
his reason that this prejudice remains in
many localities. At the same time it is
true that the railroads, :and especially
the system of which Mr.. Depew is pres
ident, have reduced freight from the
West to the seaboard is ratio equal to
80. l6 cents profit on every acre of cul-
tivated land in the whole West. That
is, every Western farmer is now in re-
ceipt Of 80. Is per acre of income Gin
reduced freights and enhanced protits)
more than he was before railroads were
consolidated upon their present basis.
One would suppose any farmer would
appreciate such business fact. Do they
do it? In reply we cite the case Of a
bennington gentleman who heard
Greenbank Weaver of Iowa harangue
an audience in that State not long ago.
Said Weaver: You farmers have a
yoke of fat cattle. Weigh them and |
will tell you to cent how much of a
mortgage Vanderbilt has on your cat
tle.n And he was cheered to the echo.
Western demgogues, and Eastern ones
too, in this way carry the people in
their pocket, and the good souls don't
appear to know it, Read Depew's
speech

The Sauleburys claim as to the CON
strrction of tho combination tickets ia
Kent county, is that they were originally
printed complete, with the names q we'll.
known Democrats thereon, selected pro.
misouousiy, for the different off 9es 10 bs
filed. This made them full and legal
ballots, properly headed Democratic
Ticket Afterwards tue names Of the
Republican candidates were placed over
the names printed on tho ticket by means
of stickefs. This sub,erfuso, they claim,
rendered the tickets strictly legal, not
wishstendins the fact that they bore more
Republican than Democratic names, while
still beaded Democratic Tioketa.1 The
Democrats, however, claim that many Of
