Year: 1876

This does not seem to be a good year for
tidal waves of any kind


1t is reported that eX-GOv. CASTOR has
thought better it, and will consent to run for Congress
in the Ivth Massachusetts, District.


The Democratic figuring on OHIO ana IN
diana beats that from the same source about CO0radO
"al hollow" so late yesterday AFTERNOON wheh ONO
had been conceded to the Republicans by Chairman
Thomson Of the Ohio Democratic State Conmi tee and
ben the vote I'm Indiana was so close that neither party
coud hope for majority OF more than few hundreds,
the Democrats claimed the former Stalc pS 10 80
majority" and the latter by $4,000 majority.


The Southern press is attempting to prove
that all the claims presented to the Government fIom
that section are made by men who were LOYAL to me
Union during the If that is so how does 1t happen
that so many claims have been thrown out because Inc
archives of the Southern COnfederacy revealed the
disloyay Of the olaimants This has happened to the
great mass of those already examine and would doubt
Iess happen 70 many pendinc I the Democratic
Congress had not been economical as 10 cut on the
appropriation for examiningthe archives.


Ex-senator Carpenter of Wisconsin puts on
record this manly protest against bolting on the
ground Of mere personal dissatisfaction: "ObJec-
tions personal to a candidate should be made at
the nominating convention and not afterward IL VIII
be matter Of great regret TO me if ny feeling growing
off OF the canvass two years shall induce any Re
nnbleap to initiate so bad example as was then set
such proceeding would lead 70 future boiling ana
iwll and seriously njure tho strength and disturb
the harmony of the party in your county U have
any friends there, beseech them 60 vote Tor the regu
iarly nominated candidates, and let bygOnes be by
cones"


The best evidence that Gov. Chamberlain's
proelamation for the disbanding Of the rle caDs III
South Carolina was entirely jusabe proceeding Is
,ouod in the comments OF the Democratic press of the
State None Of them deny that the cubS exist and all
OF them show immense disgust at the attempt To
darn them Open counsel is given 10 obey the letter OF
the order and disobey its spirit witness this advice
from The Charleston Hers and Courier: "We do not
counsel resistance TO any law. State or Federal II II
has suddenly been discovered that is unlawful TO dr
and parade to have officers and obey their orders these
unlawful acts need not be repeated. But wnc the rifle
clubs as SUCH can disbaud, their individual membeTs
viii continue be powerful and constant agents Or Tue
maintenance of peace and the repression OF GSoISI i
be more giant and active thar ever before IN iner

The Democrats appear to have scented the
coming danger for they began TO discount the October
elections several DAYS ago. An able article prepared
undoubtedly at the family bureau In Hberty-st ap
peared simultaneously in the Southern and western
papers Of the party, in which 1t was skilfuy proven
that the Democrats could win in November IL DOth ONO
and Indiana should go against them. The gist OF the
reasoning was similar TO the following in The Richmond
WHO OF Tuesday, "Why should the Democracy OF States
IN the last election decidedly Democratic be discouraged
because their allies in those two States that we had no
hope Of carrying when the platform was adopted and
Gov Tden nominated at St. Louis their protests
should fail to achieve the victory now We at least were
honest and meant what said when we urged the
nomination Of Tilden, and Insisted that the vote OF
no western State north OF the Ohio River could
be relied upon for the Democracy, and waf
not REQUIRED 10 insure a majority OF tho electoral
vote We repeat to-day what we then said, will
increased cOfdence. The South sick and tired OF III
Cafpet-dE governments, VIII rally
untedy the support OF the great retormer ana Inc
vote OF the three pronounced Democratic States OF tht
EOrth-New-YOrk, New-Jersey, and COnnecucut-wlti
the two upon the Pacihc-CalifOrna and OregOn-are
alone wanting to make good his election"
