GPNERAL DANIEL E. SIcKLES, who fought with Hancock at Gettysburg, refuses to fight against the great Union

soldfer now. Last Thursday night he added to the interest and success of the magnificent demonst;’ation in New York city by announcing his support of the Democracy and their candidates. The soldiers evidently mean to vote as they féught, for “liberty and union, one and inseparable, now and forever.”

AT LAST the Republicans have ceased making any claims tohaving carried

Maine, and concede that Plaisted hasa clear plurality over Davis of betweerr one and two hundred. The little fiction about having to wait until January for the official count to decide who was elected only provokes laughter in the face of the fact that the figures furnished by the Republicans themselves elect Gen. Plaisted by a fair majority. ¢ e

“® NEW YORK'S great independent pa- - per, the Herald, declares it quite possible that Hancock may be elected, “yet,” it adds, with feigned surprise, “we hear of no Republican selling out his bonds at a sacrifice or winding up his affairs in view of the.coming ruin. The great American voter is going about .in all parts of the Union with his tongue in his cheek:laughing at the dolorous prophecies of ruin. Even the colored man aund brother is 'mo longer scared.” 1. . @ . o

THOUSANDS of conscientious Republicans think théir party must be kept in power to protect the negroes in the South. The colored people need no federal protection. All that the feder-

al government has-interfered in their behalf has only done them harm, They are secure in person, rights, property, and suffrage by the fgrotectlon of the local authorities. While sincere but misguided Northern men are voting the Republican -ticket to protect the .negroes, your proteges are getting along amazingly well with the Democracy in their several States, and dor’t thank you for your officious kindness. Intelligent:’colored men in Louisiana are’ the gtrongest Democrats in that State, and this is true of many other States of the South. - IN HIS ADMIRABLE ten minutes speech at Tammany Hall last Thursday, Mr. August Belmont completely answered the financial arguments and refuted the financial pretentions of the republican leaders. He showed how it happened that in 1876 our government was able to fund its 6 per cent. bonds at 414, and subsequently at'4 per cents And it was at this very time that the Democrats had a majority in the House of Representatives. And foreign capitalists, instead of being deterred from investing in American securities on that-account, eagerly sought our bonds; but it wds only in 1879, when both: Senate and House were under democratic control, that it was possible to float our securities at 4 per cent. The claim of the Republicans - that the ‘country is indebted to them for its present prosperity is too preposterous ~ to.be seriously discussed. : ‘Doolittle at Albion next Wednesday.

Ex-GovERNOR BARTLEY, of Ohio, thinks General Hancock will be elected. ‘What makes his opinion more than ordinarily valuable is the fact that he liappens to be a brother-in-law of General Sherman and the latter’s “bhrothexr John.” . - |

SENATOR MCDONALD is reported as saying, in'reference to the effect of the result in Maine on Indiana: “The canyass in Indiana is proceeding satisfactorily. I have never doubted our ability to carry the State, and am now more thoroughly convineed of it than ever before. The great disaster which has befallen the republican party in Maine is a crushing blow, from which it will never recover. Its effect in our State will be to inspire our people, bring over doubtful voters, and add thousands to our majority.” =

IT IS APTLY REMARKED by a contemporary that the republican party has been in power five terms—twenty years. During that time it had charge of the books. Fully one-half the men intrusted with the responsibility during fifteen ygai‘s are known by the people to have been venal and corrupt. The naval secretary stole whole millfons outright; the war secretary took bribes; the Vice Presidents of two administrations were clothed in shame; the Interior Secretary Delano sold posttraderships; and Garfield, who ‘“carried the purse of the nation,” as Chittenden phrased it, was a bribe taker and jobber. What we want now is a chance to look at the books. '

WABE HAMPTON was one of the speakers at the great democratic mass meeting in New York city last Thursday night. On this oceasion he picked up the glove recently thrown down by Roscoe Conkling with a promptness and spirit which showed that he did not shrink from the issue. It is a malicious falsehood to represent the South as solid against the North, as the Republicans constantly do. Nor is the South solid against the constitution.— It is not even solid against the republican party, for in-each Southern State there is a republican minority. Senator Hampton showed that while the Southern States were®democratic, as they have an undoubted right to be, they are so for thre best of reasons.— Republican injustice and oppression have made them so. They are democratic, though the Democrats of the North “opposed us during the war “with as much earpestness and vigor! “as did the Republicans, and without “their aid the Union could not have “been sustained. But when the war “closed these Democrats who had “ fought us so persistently remember“ed that we iwere still Americans. — “They remembered the pledges made “by the government during the war, “They held that the Southern States “ were integral parts of the Union, and “not mere conquered provinces. Un“flinching enemies in war, when peace “came they were willing to recognize “ug as brethren. They extended their “hands in token of reconciliation, and “we grasped and still grasp their " frieddly hands. We see the republi“can party now, as it always has been, “in all its changes and under its vari“ous names, still the party of sectiono aliis-m. We hail the great Democracy “as| national” This states the case admirably. S o : i e et~ e e ¢ Doolittle at Albion next Wednesday.

~ GEN. SIGEL evidently does not realize the importance of filling his appomntments.

AvaeusT BELMONT, the great New York financier and agent of the Rothschilds, makes this declaration in reply to the republican statement that the business interests of the country will suffer if the Republicans are defeated: [ The man who says that the business of this country will suffer, or that United States bonds or securities, generally, will deeline in price, if Gen. Hancock is elected President of the United States, is either a knave or a fool. The Democrats have had power in Congress for four years, and Mr. Hayes has not vetoed a single bill on finance save the silver bill, and this he took good care not to veto until he had ascerfained “that a ‘two.-th'if'ds majority would pass it again over his veto. The country has not gone toruin under democratic rule. On the eontrary, it has been, and still is,z prosperous. The fact is that there is no fear for the business of the country; if Gen.

Tne New York Z'imes, decigj‘fledly the ablest republican journal in the United States, says of Hancock’s letter: “It does not go behind a forced construction of the Fourteenth Amendment, but declares his personal purpose in regard tolegislation which the Amendment does not cover.

SENATOR HILL, of Georgia, in a recent speech recalled a fact which Republicans ' generally, and Albert G. Porter in particular, do not seem able to comprehend. It is simply this; “There existed at one time a South that adivocated rebellion and slavery. That South is dead. The South which now exists is-a believer in tull liberty and in the Union of these States.”

~ SINoE the disastrous defeat of the Republicans in Maine the accessions to the democratic ranks have been so numerous that we carnot possibly find space for a suitable mention of all the names of the conyerts. In this State Jacob Yeagley, the National candidate for Sécretary of State, has declared for Landers and Hancock; N. W.

Republican Appeals (o irishmen.

At a méeting called in San Francisco to form an Irish-American republican club, Mr. John D. Veale, who is both an Irishman apd Republican, attempted to read| a short address which he had prepared, but was hooted down by the oflice holders and others in attendance, and forced todesist. Mr. Veales’ address was as follows:

Mr. President: I move tostrike from the proposed name of this organization the word “Irish.”” As:& Republican I am in favor of Garfield and Arthur; as a Republican I endorse the platform.adopted by our National Convention; my Republicanism is based upon my political convictions as .an, American citizen; those political convictions relate solély to the government and polity of these United States, the land of my adoption, and they do notrin any degree relate to.the land of my birth. I am prepared tg pledge myself to the principles and nominees of the republican party, as an American citizen, but when you ask me to pledge myself to either the Republican party or its nominees as an Irishman, you ask too muech. If the rights or interests of the Irish people had.ever fornred an issue in American politics, 1, as a devoted son of Ireland, would have felt bound to abandon the republican party. Indeed. 1 have more than ane telt a deep sense of shame and indignation at the tone of apathy and, haughty indifference. manifested by' my, party toward the wrongs, sufferings and heroic struggles of my oppressed countrymen, while it afiected 'so much sympathy and solicitude for the sons of Africa and the barbarous hordes of China. Whatever the republican party has done for America, and in my humble opinion it has -done much, it has’ surely done nothing for Ireland which would justify Irishmen in supporting its candidatesdn Ireland’s name. The republican party has not only done nothing for Ireland, but- it scorned her very namel. Its representatives have publicly spurned her petitions and her addresses, and in the hour of her great .battle for constitutional liberty they refused to extend even a formsal vote.of sympathy to her struggling sons. Worse than all this, the very candidate whom you ask us now, in the name of Ireland, to endorse, was one of the foremost among those who thus heaped -indignity upon her. No, gentlemen, we cannot honestly fonm an Irish republican club, we cannot support Garfield in the name of Ireland. Let us form a republican ¢lub as Americans, 'but not as Irishmen. Let us not assume any attachment for Ireland which we do not possess, or a Rlindness! to the eourse of the republican party which must beslieak invineible ignorance, Strike-out the word “Irish,” and lam with you. Adopt the name as it starids, and my reésignation is at your disposal:: ] een . o gaa ey

At this time specidl appeals are being made to Irish Democrats in Indiana, Vermont, and Maine to come over to the support of the republican party, on the ground that that party has been, and is now, its truest friend. Wehave too much faith'in the intelligence, honesty; and real patriotism of the Irish masses, to believe for one moment that any considerable number .of them will desert the only party that haus taken an honest and kindly interest in their weifare; but if there is a single Irishman in either of the States above mentioned, or in any other, who conceives the idea of taking the step which republican stump orators are begging him to take, we "ask him to read and give heed to the remarks of oene of his countrymen, above ‘quoted. — Boston Post. = | A :

" How to et Rich. - The great secret of obtaining riches, is first to practice economy, and as good old ‘“Deacon Snyder” says, “It used to worry the life out of me to pay enormous doc¢tor bills, but now 1 have ‘struck it rich.” Health and happiness reign supreme in our little household, and all simply because we use no other medicine but Electric Bitters and only costs fifty cents a bottle.” Sold by all druggists. e It takes an honest- farmer a whole year at hard toil, with the aid of his family, to make $5OO, and he is very much surprised when he reads from Garfield’s own testimony that he made $5,000 by “speaking to Boss Shepherd about it.” According to his own statement Garfield. made in ten minutes what it takes a farmer ten years to earn. It would not have been so bad had not the job (Garfield spoke about) been a frandulent one, = ' —— et e R—— 3 - Lyman Trumbull, who was one of the republican party in its best days, and who reported to the Senate the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, says it is ridiculous to claim that the republican party saved the Union or abolished slavery—the loyal Democrats having done their share.— Sixteen Democrats voted for the Thirteenth Amendment, without thirteen of whose votes it could not have been passed. - o !

259,000 in the streets, and 50,000 Torch-Bearers in Procession.y

The grandest mass .meeting. held in the city of New York during the past twenty years took place last Thursday night. ‘The Eapress thus speaks of the grandeur of the demenstration: - “It was a spectacle that will be re-. membered for a lifetime by those who had the good fortune.to view it, and there is not the -slightest doubt, judg--ing from the sizs of the procession and the enthusiasm. manitested along the, entire line of march; that the ticket nominated at Cincinnati will receive in this county ’alone 4 majority which ~will secure -the . thirty five eleetoral votes of this State beyond all peradventure, The twenty-four Assembly Districts furnished 40,000 men, and this number was swelled by visiting organizations, which ‘made the grand total of torch-bearers about 50,000, The column began tomove shortly after 9 o’clock, and when the Twelfth Assembly’ District, which was the last inithe line, passed by Tammany Hall, it was bhalf-past two in the morning. Eyen at that hour Union Square, Irv- | ing Place, and Fourteenth Street were | filled with people.. Taking the men who were in the parade and those who reviewed the pageant, it Is'no.exagger- - ation to say that theére were at least | 250,000 people between - Canal street and the Grand Central Depot who witnessed and took part in the proceedings.” e ;

Thestreets, avenues, squares, and public buildings for a eouple of miles were filled with a moving mass of hiuman beings, interested, jin hearty sympathy with the occas’ign. enthusifistie, cheering. It is ;saf_«'%i to say that at Jeast.a quarter of a million people joined in the monster ‘demonstration, which had ail the characteristics. of a'popular uprising. - Desides Tamimany and Irving Halls, which were crowded alimost to suffo-" cation for feur hours by people intent on hearing the speeches of statesmen and orators, there. were eight-out-of-‘door meetings where earnest and inspiring’ addresses -were made to vast assemblages of men and women. The cheering was spontaneous and hearty. The people entered intd the spirit of the oceasion, and made ita magnilicent’ success, It showed that the people have taken up the cause of the Democ-. racy, and mean-to elect- Hancock aprd ‘English by unprecedented majorities. — The demonstration has a double significance, : It eelebrates’ the virtual and completeunion of the Democracy ° of Yhis city and State.: To all intents and, purposes the.democratic party in New York is henceforth one. There may be matters of minor momentto be | ‘adjusted I;e~x;e{af'teri: but the spirit of conciliation :and’ harmony -rules the hour. 'The sentiment of union in the Democratic masses is irresistible..
