The desperation of the Democrats is ex-
hibited by their resort to wlful falsehood. Take
the case of Frederick Douglass, whose remark
that the Republican majority in Indiana would
not exceed Z 900 was perverted into state
ment that he had given up that State, and has
caused the Democratic managers to rejoice ex-
ceedingy. In dispatch from Hartford this
morning Mr. Douglass nails this contemplate
Democratic lie. He is full Of hope, and entire
ly confident that General Harrison will not only
carry Indiana but that he will be triumphantly
elected

The earnest appeal Of the Republican Club
of the City of New-York deserves to be needed.
Especially should it be brought to the atten-
ton of any Republicans who may deem it their
duty to vote for Mr.. Hewitt. Whatever reason
may have been influential in inclining them to
support Mr.. Hewitt two years ago, there is none
whatever now. The Republican candidate is
so strong and excellent, and the enemy is SO
seriously divided, that the prospect of Repub-
lican success is increasing from day to day.
The only thing essential to complete success Is
that every Republican shall stand by his party.
This splendid opportunity to redeem and re-
form the government of the city" by the cleo
ton Of Colonel Erhardt ought not to be thrown
away.

II is only fair and magnanimous TO allow the
Democratic side q final opportunity of presenting
its case to the American public. We have there
fore, allowed their distinguished foreign advocate,
Lord Saclxville to plead the cause Of the English
candidate in final issue Of The Tribune series or
campaign extras. His correspondence with an
American voter is reprinted in good, fair type,
together with his own interview authentcating
the letters and Secretary Bayard's comments upon
the transaction. Having been thus impartial and
generous in according to the Englsh-Democratc
party hearing, we are forced by regard for the
feelings of our Republican constituency to re-
publish Mr. BIaines structures upon this diplo-
matte and partisan appeal. His speech, delivered
Thursday evening, will be found what Mr..
Greeley used TO call mighty interesting reading
for everybody. This Extra, No. ITO. entitled
Cleveland's Burchard," will be sold at the rate
of two copies for cent with the usual discounts
by the thousand.

Horses Delight In sound.

II has been often observed By those who
had to do with horses that these animals
have their proper pride in regard to the
looks of their harness and trappings The
horse is quick to show his pleasure or dis
pleasure. and he does this AT times with
marked emphasis. Ills constituencies h
not limited to the delight of the eye, but
he is equally moved by the sensation Of
sound. Horses seem in many cases to lie
conscious Of the tuneiul melody or the
iangling discord, 05 the case may be, made

says, after formally accepting the nomi-
nation: "Wthin the last few years the tenn
perance reform has altogether changed

has been, and is yet raging, Temperance

"Conceivcd in avalicious iniquity, born
