In Four Districts.

True Democrats are not dismayed. Let Democrats pick their flints, and prepare for 1888. Democrats will derive profit from the lessons of the hour. Hereafter a full ticket and a contest of the field inch by inch. The States of Indiana and New Jersey will el ct Democratic U. S. Senators. The Democracy have made gains in many of the other StatesWill be able to give particulars nfext week.

No more “plowing with your neighbor’s heifer,” their known “breachiness” make all distrustful of them, and their pretenses receive the confidence of no one.— Pass such by. 1 Already Republicans declare they will throw out a sufficient number of Democratic Representatives to secure the return of Ben Harrison to the United States Senate. A repetition of the ‘steal of 1876” is proposed. Let it be seen to that it be not consummated. W W. Dudley, dismissed Commissioner of Pensions, is attempting, in this State, the game of Chandler in 1876—“ Claim everything.” That trick was allowed to pass once with the ominous admonition:—“Not to be repeated.” - Heed the admonition, Wil im. * 1 ' - Campaign brokers—Those who importune candidates of all parties for a deposit with them that that they may place it where it will ‘‘do the most good.” As a rule, these ‘hangej son’ have neither the principles nor the “infloonze” they boast of, and place deposits intrusted to them in their own pockets.

Political hypocrites who robe themselves “with the livery of heaven to serve the devil in,”— who are loud and blatant in protestations of fealty to Democratic principles, but who make the most of their opportunities and information in the advancement of opposition men and measures—must hereafter he relegat *d to the rear —in fact, into the ranks of the opposition There is where their Totes go in the end, and there is where they rightfully below.

Chicago Herald: In two Congressional dictncts in Pennsylvania, namely, those represented by Bandall and Snowden, both Democrats, the Republicans made no nominations. These gentlemen stand relative to the one issue of paramount importance to Pennsylvanians of the political machine order in a positi ,n which is entirely satisfactory to the interests which control eletions in that state. To have pitted Bepualicans against them would have been a great waste of energy and time, to say nothing of money. They vote on all questions affecting the monopoly interest of Pennsylvania exactly as Republicans would do. In Illinois are two other Congressional districts to which it is desired to draw attention. They are repr-sented in the present Congress by Messrs. Morrison and Springer. In both of these districts the men in Pennsylvania who make common cause in behalf of the Democrats, Randall and Sowden, made common cause against the Democrats—Morrison and Springer. They sent “men and money’’ into these districts, and, by the political method known as the still hunt, they effected the defeat of oue and almost accomplished i hat of the other. Pennsylvania money was saved by not opposing Randall and Sowden, whose faithfulness as servants of the privileged classes made them >s acceptable as anv Republican could be, that it might be spent in Illinois to defeat two Democrats who could not be used by the corporations. This scandalous invasion of Illinois by the agents of a corrupt and dangerous power demands prompt and vehement rebuke. No stronger proof of the nature of the combinations effected under the pr tective tariff system is needed than is to be found in this transaction. With the blood money w r ung from half-uaid toil in the protected l dustries of Pennsylvania these tramp agents of the robber rings have come into this state and corrupted thousands ot voters with bribes and lies. This is a shameful admission to makt concerning any set of men in Illinois, but its truth and the necessity that the dangerous practices resorted to by the unscrupulous plunderers of Pennsylvania should be known demand that it b made. And there can be no doubt that this same system of bribey, with money procured from the same source, was employed in this and other districts in the State ol Indiana.
