More Testimony About Tilden.

. It will be rememberdtt shat the most favorable showing it has been possible to iMWfftp 4 Tilden concerning Ills income tmM. that he paid tax On an, average inednib of f 15,000 a year during thC years the tax, was levied. Yet an- “ ex-Director or the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad” writes to the New York Tilneb]' Allowing ! that in six yews Mr. Tiilden’s warnings and profits frqni hlicondfectian that company alfcrie were not’l&fs than *5174,000, or pearly. double the average income on P aid f* Tbia gentleman’s communication gives tne details of some of thC trUnsactionk. Thus in 1861 and 186 a tyr. Tilden purchased bonds,of the Milwaukee & Horipon Railroad Company, wjyi a View to consolidation witp the Northwestern, which he sold early in 1803 at a profit of $14,500. 1862 he drew Weed and acted as Trustee for the fee would”be $5,000.

INGERSOLL IN CHICAGO.

The UrfMt Political Oalhcrlu Wtwmr Seen la (Mat City. [From the Inter Ocean, Oct ft] The Republican mass-meeting which Cal. Bob Infeeraoll addressed Saturday evening was the grandest outponring of the people this country has ever seen. |t was immense. An hour before the doors were opened hundreds and thoust. ,ds of meh and women; all eager' to heaf the great Illinois orator expound Republican truths, crowded the sidewalks and street In front of thfe Exposition building, and half an hour later the throng had increased ten or, twenty-fold., At 7:80 o’clock' tie doors were opened and the crowd was allowed to pour itself into the buildirg. Boon the main flhor was covered With peofilo, the gallery filled, and even the organoft, girders, braces and elevator frame occupied. Immediately surrounding the speaker’s 'stand were ttie seats which bad been reserved for ladies. The rest of the building'belonged to the masses, and every available foot of space was appro, printed. At 7:45 the hall Was fall—full to overflowing. Frank Lumbard’s Glee Club opened proceeding? by singing 4 '. Vive l’America” add “ Old Bhady”. The applause whibh followed was deafening, it shook the building arid started 'one of foe'gAllcry supports, The floor creaked,. .and the croWd stampeded. No damage was done, however, except to the gallery, which sunk a font of* more, and the occupants soon returned to their plaCes. Then Lumbard stepped forward and sang the old war hymn: In tie beauty of tie lilies Christ woe born apMM the sett. And the glory of His coming has transfigured you and mo. As He died to make men holy, we will die to keep I men tree, ( \ As we go marching on. And the vast audience joined heart and soul in the chorus —

Glory, glory, hallelnjahl Col. Ingersoll then came forward, and was received with rouna after round of applause, which lasted Several minutes. Then he spoke as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen:—Democrats and Republicans have a common interest hi the United States. [Applause.] We have a common interest in the preservation of a common country. And 1 appeal to a ; l, Democrats and Republicans, to endeavor to make a .conscientious choice—to endeavor to select as President and Vice President Of the United States a man and a party, so to speak, which in your judgment will preserve all that is dekr to uS, cither as Republicans' or Democrats. The Democratic party comes before you and asks that you will give this Government into its hands, and you have t.ic right to Investigate as to the reputation and character of the Democratic organization. The Democratic party s y, “ Lot bygones be by-goncs.” I never knew a man who did a decent action that wanted it forgotten, [Applause.] I never knew a man who did some great, shining act of self-sac-rifice and heroic devotion that didn’t wish to have that act remem iered. Mot only so, but he expected his loving children would chisel the remembrance of it upon the marble that marked liis la-t resting place. But v lieu ever a man commits some ci‘[kiQ, Whenever a man does what mantles the cheeks of his children with shame, he is the man that says, “ Let by-gones be by-gones.” The Democratic party admits that it has a record, and it says that any man that will look into It anti toll it, is not a gentleman, I don’t kuow whether, according to the Democratic standard, I am a gentleman or not; but I do say that in a certain sense I am one of tlio ’ hiftorisns of the Democratic party. [Applause.] I don't know that it is true that a man cannot give you his record and -be~a gentleman, but I admit that a.gentleman liatos to read this rscord. *a gentleman liatos to give this record to the world, but 1 do it, not becuuse I like to do it, but because I believe the best Interests of this country demand that there shall be a history given <of the Democratic party. In the first place, I claim that the Democratic party embraces within Its filthy arms the worst elements in American society. [Cheers] I claim that every enemy that this Government had bad for twenty years has been and is a Democrat. [Chcers.l Every man in the Dominlo >of Canada that hates the great Republic would like to see Tilden and bendricks successful. Every titled chi' f in Great Britain would like to see TUd< n and Hendricks the mxt President and Vipe-President of the United States. I sav more: ’ ed from this Union was a Democratic State; every man that drew an ordinance of secess'on wav a Democrat; every rann that tried to tear the flag out of heaven was a Democrat; every man that tore thoKhld banner of glory, that shot a shell, was a Democrat; every man that shot a Un'on soldier was a Democrat. The man that fired on Sumter wao a Democrat. Every Union soldier.that bus a scar upon his body to-day carries with him a souvenir of the Democratic party. [Cheers.) Every man that denied to the Union prisoners even the worm-eaten crust of famine was a Democrat. And when some famished Union soldier, crazed by agonv, by pain and by want, saw in his dream tho face of his mother.aiul she seemed to beckon him. and he Insanely followed her beckoning, and ipso following got his foot an Inch beyond tbs dead-line, tliejretml wr9te.ll that put his'hulIct through his head was aipj is a DVnoerat. [Applause.] The men that burned orphan asylums in the city of New York were Democrats. Everyone that, lir. d tliatcityy,hnoif> ing that if it burned the serpent (lames would leap over building* ami dutch children from thelf mother * arifis—every wretch tSal did ■it Was and is a Democrat. [Applause] The mau that shot A bra [inm Lincoln was a Democrat. Every mail that, was glad of it was a Democrat. [Cheers ] Every man that win sorry to see the Institution ui slavery abolished; • every man. that shed a tear over the Corpse of'human slavery,“was and is a Democrat. rAyolegVGoodenougiu’U The mod that cursed Abraham Lincoln, tlif greatest, the grandest, tlui’p&hiSt Jfian “ever President of £uo Upited Slates, for issuing the Emancipation Proclamation, the grandest pupef sin'ce the Declaration of Independence - every man that cursed him for it was a Democrat. [Cheers.]* Every man who hated to see blood-hound* gense-to ins the instrumentalities of. a vEroe. Govcrnmcnto-ev rv one was a Democrat. In short, every encm that this Government has'liad in tweuty years, eve y enemy that liberty and prbgre > have had In the United States for twenty yuars, every holer of our Hag, every doepise’i of our Nutlon, every man Who has beeu u disgrace so tjio great Republic for twenty years, has been a Democrat. I do mit say Grab they are all that way, but nearly all; whoare that .way tarp Democrat,. Thd DemCjcTutic party to-day ts d ponTie.il t® rM iveA-s. ILdughtor] The Democratic party has a vest appetite- [Great laugh ter.] The Democratic party is all teeth And empty stomach. [Cheers.] In ot er words the DetdoerOUc party ifca political tramp, with a scraps of paper as a kind of oertifti ate ,es character. On one of these papers he will show you the ordinance of 1789. On another one Of thotb papers be will have a part of the on another Gov. Tilden’s letter to Kent; on another a certificate signed by Lyman Trumbull that the Rcpu Uean party is not fit so associate With. [Laughter.] This certificate will he indorsed by Gov. J<din M. Palmer and nay friend fudge Doolittle. He will also have In bis pocket an old woo Dent, somewhat torn, representing Abraham Lin. coin falliog upon the neck of 8. Corning Judd, and t /inking him for saving the Union as Commander-In-Chief of the Rous of Liberty. [Laughter and applause.] This political tramp will also have a letter, dated

Boston, Mass., saving; “I hereby oertlfy that for fifty years I regarded th« bearer at a thief and robber, but 1 now look upon him as a Reformer." Signed Charles Francis Fob owing will be a bltfod- 1 hound, and wnen he asks for food thoblood-,1 hound will crum b for employment upon his AauneUed; and the drool of anticipation will atesMiia' KnglU, and Tl means, ff«a) I want, to bits a nTgger.’’ And when the dog has that express ion, ho boars a strikinglikeness to. bis master. j The question Is, shall that tramp arid that dog gain possession at *the White HouscT [•‘No! Nol Nol"' .‘tNot macM”] Tho Democratic party has learned nothing. The Democratic party does not know that the world has advanced a solitary [ncli since IfifiO. Time ia a Democratic aumb-watoh, and it has not given a tick for sixteen years. The Democratic party does pot know that we, upon the great, glittering flight of progress, have passed a single milestone 1 In twenty years. The Democratic party, I day. Is incapable of am thing but prejudice and hatred. Ever- man that is a Democrat it a Democrat because he hates something. Efery mau that Is a Republic in Is a Republican because he loves sojcneihlrig. * * * The Democritlc party Is, 1 say, incapable of advancement ' The only stock they have in trade to-day Is the old Infamous doctrine of Democratic State rights There never was a mfire mfamous doctrine advocated on this eartlf than the Democratic idea of State. rights. What is itV It has its foundation in she Idea that this ienot a Nation.. l It has its foundation in the idea that this Is simply a confederacy—that this great Government id simply a bargain; that this great, splendid people are simply traders; and that the people In, one of the States are sovereign to The extent that they hive the right to trample op the rights of their fellow-dtlzens; ahd that the General Government cannot interfere. The gteat Democrat c heart is -fired to-day; the great Democratic bosom is bloated with indiguatlon because of an order made by GeoGrant sending troops into the Southern 8 ates to defend the rights of American citizens. • '

Who objects to a soldier going there? Nobody except a man who wants to carry an election by fraud, by violence, by iptimidation, by assassination and by murder. The Democratic party is willing to-day that Tilden and Hendricks should be elected by vlo* lence. They are willing to-day to go into partnership with assassination and murder. They are willing to-day that the rights of every man in the Southern States who is a friend of this Unton, who fought for. the flax, that rhe rights of every one of those mew Shall be tmmpied into the d fist, provided Tilden and Henricks can be elected President and Vice-President of this country. Tliey tsll us that a State line Is sacred, that you never can cross it unless you want to cat h a fugitive slave. Then yon have a right to cross it. if you wish to defend the rights of men, then- it iS' a sacred line, and you cannot cross it- Such is the infambus doctrine of the Democratic party Who, I say, will be injured by sending soldiers into the Southern States? No one in the world except the man who wants to prevent the honest citizen I rom easting a legal vote for tli - Government of his choice. Fur my part I think more of the col red man of the South, than Ido of the white disunion man of the South. [A|iplause.] For my part I think more of a black friend than I do of a white enemy. For my part I think m6re of a man black outside and white iri than I do of a man white outside and black in. [Cheers.] For my part I think more of b a'k justice, of black charity, of black patriotism, than 1 do of white cruelty, than I do of white treaetp ery and treason. [Cheers.] As a matter of fact, all there is done in the,South to day is done by the colored man for use. jibe colored man does everytotag that is done in the Bouth except devilment The colored man raises everything that is raised to the touto except hell. [Laughter.] And I say here to-night that I think a hundred times more of the good, black, industrious man of the Bnuth, than I do of all the white men together that don’t love this Government [Cheers.] And I think mor* of a black man in the South than I do 'ot any white man in the North tha sympathizes with the white wretch that wishes to trample upon ihe rights of the black man. Applause.] j I bel'eve toat the Government has not only the power, but that it is ■the right of this Government to march. all ;the soldiers necessary Into any sovereign State of this Union to defend the rights of every American citizen in that Stalk. fCheers] * * * • * # ># But the Democratic doctrine Is that this Government can protect its citizens only when they are away from home. This may account for so mhny Democrats going to Canada during the war. [Laughter?] I believe that the Government must not only protect you abroad, but must protect you at home; and that is the great question before thd American peonle to-day. I had thought that human Impudence had reached it* limit ages and ages ago. I had believed that some time in the history of the world impudence had reached its length, and so I believed until I read the congratulatory ad dress of Abraham 8. Hewitt, Chairman of the Central Committee of New York* wherein lie congratulates the negroes of the South on wliht l ho calls “the Democratic vie tory in Indiana.” If human iippu dence can go beyond this, all I have say it never has. [Laughter.] W’ljat do- she say to the colored peo' !e? He savs to them, In substance, the reason the white people trample upon you is because the white people are weak- Give the white people more, strength, put the white people in authority, and, altuough they murder you ow. whcn they are weak, when they arc s roig they will'hit.you alone [Applause.] I'he oily tr üblc wjth our Soptheru white brethren is that they are in, dub .minority. riieykiU you now, and the only way to save yogr life is to put the enemy in a major ty. i'hut is the doctrine of Abraham S. Hewitt, uid he congratulates the colored pdople o. the outh upon “the Democratic victory it the State of Indiana.” There is going to be i great crop ofhawks next year; let us eon gratulate the drives. [Laughter J Tlie’burgiurs ha e whipped the police; let us eongrut ulate the bank. Tlia is it. The wolvo nave killed e ff most of the shepherds: let u congratula o tlie hheep. [Laughter.] Thi is the same Abraham 8. Hewitt who has cn dcavored to set the rotten teeth of Democratic slander into the life and quivering flesh o the reputation of th -t splendid man, JamciU. Blaine. [Cheers.] This same H «it that congratulates the negroes of, the Soot! upon the prospect of their assnsslps getting Into pnlitfcal power—the next tiling we hear from him is a slander against the uaine and reputation of a man about whonl he is not fit to speak even in terms of praise. [Cheers.l ; In my judgment the black people have suffered enough. [A voic -L ‘i Tbit’s *P-”] They have been slaves tor 2(10 years. They have been owned for 200 years;, and, more than than HI; they have been'eonrpeSed to keep the eompany of - the mail that owned them. [Laughter,] Think of that! Think of be l ng con* jiftled to keep "the- -Tfjelety of a yohr wife; Think of being compellod to live with a man ih|it stole your child from the cradle befrife yourWery eyes; Think df bring compelled io live with a thtof all your life, to spend vour day with la white loafer, and to bwunder hiscon rol. The black people have suffered enough! [Applause.] For 510 years they were owned, ana bought; and sold, and branded like cattle.’ 1 ForoOO years even- human tie was rent and torn asunder by the brutal, bloody ’hands of avarice and might. And for thatresson lam In favor of this Gorernmei t protecting them in every rhth they have got In every Southern State, lilt takes another war to dolt, frtheers.l We never can compromise with the south »t theexpense of our friends. [APjfiaui-y.J Ncverl never I We-never cau be friends with the men that,Starved and i-hot our b> others. [A voice: ‘‘Never.”] Wo nev -r can be friends with the men that waged the mri t cruel wkr ip the b story of the wor d. not for liberty, but ft r the right to deprive other men ••{ lib rty. [Applause.] Until they treat he black man justly, until they treat tho white

Ift. a, chantry like ours, depending for Us prosperity and glory upon the increase of the papulation, to elect ah old bachelor la suicidal policy, [Cheers and laughter.] Ant man shat -Will llve in this country for. sixty, yeags, surrounded by beautiful women with rosy cheeks and dimpled china—in .every dimple lurking a Cupid—with corgi Ups . and pearly teeth and sparkling eyes] any man that' will puahl that aU aside, to bo satisfied with the embraces of the DrinocratftJ party, don’t event know the value of. time, [laughter and applause.] I ain opposed to Samuel J. Tildon -ertiuse ho is- a Demount; because he belongs to the Democratic party, of the city of NevV York—the worst party ever organized in any civilized country. I nlab \ou could see it. [LaughtcrV The pugilists, tho prize-sigh ert», the plug-uglies, the fellowa that run with, the machine. [Great laughter.] Nearly every nose Is mashed.

I have been in NbxrtYork evtry few "weeks tor fifteen yeans, Sd whenever I go there I see the old banner TakirtnrtiJ? ‘HaIV Tamniany HaU and Re- 1 form, John.Morrissey and Reform, Connolly and Reform, John Kriliy ahd Reform, William M. Tweed and Reform [laughter], and the other day I saw the same old flag—Samuel J. Tilden and Reforin.-' [Laughter.] No man ought to, . be. Fresldunt of this Nation who denies that it Is a Nation. Samuel J. Tilden denounced the war as an outrage. No man . ever should he President of this country that denounceil a wi;r waged in its defense as an outface. To elect such a rtan would be an outrage indeed. Samuel J. Tilden said the old flag carried by our fathers over the fields o r the revolution; the old flag carried by our fathers over the fields of 1812; the glorious old flag carried by our brothers over the Slains of Mexico; the same banner carried y pur brothers over the cruel fields of the South—Samuel J. Tilden said that Bag stands for a contract, tbat.it stands for a confederation, that that flag stands for a bargain. But the i great, splendid Republican party says: “ No: that flag stands for a great, hoping, aspiring, sublime Nation, not fora Confederacy.” [AfiWam.t I atri 'Apposed, I say, to the election of Samuel J. Tilden. for ahothcr reason. If he Is-elected he will bo rioritrallcd by his party, And his i party will be controlled by the Southern stockholders in that party. They own nineteen-twenti-eths of the stock,and tt tbey will dictate the Oof the Democratic corporation. No cm Derttfctat bak that manhood to ptand up before a Southern Democrat. Every Northern Democ.gt. nearly, ha* a face of dough, and the Southern Democrat will swap his ears, change his nose, cut his mouth the other wav of the leather, so that liis own mother wouldn’t know him in fifteen minutes, [Great [qughter.] If Samuel J. Tilden is elected Presto nt of the United States, he will be controlled by the Democratic party and the Democratic party will be controlled by the Southern Democracy, that is to say, the late rebels, that Is tp say, the mrin that tried to destroy the Gov* rnrnent; that is to say, the mepwho are. sorry they didn’t destroy the Government; that Is to say, the enemhs of every friend of this Union; that is to say, the murderers and the assassins of Union men living in the Southern country. [Applauae.l * * * * And, on the other hand, the Republican patty have put forward Rutherford B. Hayes. [Applause.] He is an honest man. The Democrats will 'say, “That is nothing.’* Well let them fry it. [Applause and laughter.] R therford B. Hayes has a good character. A good character is not built upon & prospectus, but upon a good record. A good character is made up riot of what you agree to hilt Of the good things you retily have done. If you could make a good character on promises, the Democratic party would .have onto to-morrow. [Lflugnter.j But a good character rests upon good action, upon sbtnething alrfeady accomplished. Rutherford 8.. Hayes, when ‘this w r commenced, did not say with Tilden, “It is an outrage.” He did not say with Tilden, “ I never will contribute to the prosecution of this war.” But he did say this: “ I would go into this war if I-knew I would be killed in the course of it, rather than to live through It and take no part in it”* [Cheers.] * * * Now, my friends, there is one thing that troubles the average Democra , and that is the idea that, somehow, in some way,, the negro will get to be the better man. [l.aughtcr,j That is the trouble in the South today, and I say to my Southern friends, 1 admit there a e a good 'many good men in the South, but the bad men are in an overwhelming majdrity. The-great mass of the populatioEis vicious, violent, virulent, malignant. The great mass of the population is cruel, revengeful, idle and hateful, and I tell that population, “ If you do not go to work, the negro, by his patient industry, will pass you.” In the long niti, the Nation that is honest, the people that are Industrious nill pass the people that are dishonest, the people that are idle, np matter what grand ancestry the. may have had, and so f say, “ Mr. Southerner,” and so , I say “ Mr. Northern Democrat, look out; look out.” [Applause.] The superior man is the la m Who helps his fellow-men. The superior man is the useful man. The fuperlor man is ihe kind man, the man who lifts up his down-trodden brothers, aad the greater load of human sorrow and human want yon caD yet in your arms the higher yon cm climb the great hill of fame. [Cheers.] The superior matt is the man who hiveo his fcl-low-men. Let me say right here that the good men. the superior men, the grand men, are bro bars the world over. No matter what thi'lr complexlrin may be —cbnthienta may divide them—yet they embrace each other. Centuries may separate them, and yet they ar • hand in hand, and all the good, and all the grand, and ajl the superior men, shoulder to shonlder, heart' to heart, ara fighting the great battle for the progress of mankind. [Cheers] I pity" he mm, 1 execrate and hate the man, who has only to brag that he is white. Whenever lam reduced to that necessity 1 believe shfum Mill make me/ red instead « f white* I believe another thing. If l * helong to the superior race I will »e so superior that I can make my living without S ettling from the Inferior. I believe all the intellectual domaig of the Tutor Is open to every man. Every man who Andri a fact first, that is to be his fact. Every man who thinks a thought first, that Is his thought. 1 believe that every round in the ladder of fame, from the one that reats upon the ground to the 'ast one that leans a atUst the shining summit of human ambition, betoues to the foot that gets on It.

We must in this supreme election, we must at this supreme moment, vote only for the men who are in favor of keeping this Government in tho power, in the custody, In the control, of the great,, sublime, Republican party.

Shall Mob Force and Intimidation Pre vail.

This is the one great issue to be decided at the coming election, rising above and transcending ail other questions. Attempt to disguise it as we may, and sneer at il as some do, the startling fact-still remains patent and indisputable, that npon this one point may rest the entire question of the Presidential contest. The Democratic party base their only hope of the election of Tilden and Hendricks on what they call the “ solid South.” They concede, at the odtset, that the loyal States, as on all occasions since the Democratic rebellion of 1861, will now be substantially united in support of the party that put down that rebellion and saved the Union. So the only possible hope of the Democrats is in controlling the entire strength of the rebel States, (138 votes), with which ar a basis, they hope, by some means, to obtain in the North the forty-seven votes necessary to success. Thus it will be seen that unless the South be made “ solid” for Tilden, he stands no chance whatever. But ihe Democratic leaders find themselves confronted with the fact, that in ’72 the Stains of North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Virginia and West Virginia cast their votes for Grant, and that while several of these may now be regarded as Democratic, there yet remains five of the number —North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi, with forty-seven electoral votes —which, are so clearly Republican, that if left to. a free ballot they would go as they have done at every election since the war. Take these forty-seven votes from Tilden, and he would have but ninety-one Southern votes, or less than one-half the requisite majority. It is thus seen that this thing of a, “ Solid South” isaimply a cnatter of life, and death with Tilden. Without it, he’ never would have consented to become a candidate, while with it, his chances, are by himself and friends regarded as ex. tremely doubtful. The one point, then, is simply this.: Can the Republican majorities in the five States named be overcome,’ and those States controlled for Tilden ? If not, tbe issue is decided in advance. But how? That was the question on which all hopes hinged. Not by argument—not by reason—hot by any of the means recognized among freemen. The forum aad the press were ndt considered for one moment in that connection, and but one resort remained, and that was bruts force. The only possible means of securing a “solid South” consisted in such personal intimidation as should pre, vent Republicans in those States from voting at aR. How this is to. be accomplished, ia already known. The Ku-Klux

and the White Leagues are the forms of .organized action heretofore employed by the Confederates. Their business, largely, was to assault, murder and rob loyal citizens, with thq view of driving them out of the coon try. But additional means have been found necessary to tire emergency of the campaign, and this need is met u*. what is called the* “-Edgefield Policy”-—that is, the shot gun policy—tc» which Gen. M. W. Gary, a leading Tilde* and Hendricks orator of South Carolihi, referred hi a recent political speech, lie said:'. ~r. ‘ *y; Tho Edgefield policy won In tbe State Convention and wtii win, ta the present umpalgn- That polk * U to fdalnly tell Vle ntgrort that th e *eWeS a t agmnineoninmod of the State.

They Well know that there is in South Carolina a, Republican majority of 40,0u0, add that a free ballot would give the State to Hayes and Wheeler beyond aU powdhUtty «f doubt, as It would at least four other Southern States, and to prevent tills, is tho business fp hand. - , r . *. This was in.accordance with the entire policy of the Confederates, who, at no Eb tr&ws sanot votes” Mode art torite counted. Now, as In ISfiSw A 1 South Carolina is a. white man's State,” and, “ nigger majorities” must ndt be allowed to interfere/ “If it becomes necessary,’,’ says the outspoken Gary, ‘‘ to shoot them, in order to remove them, we must be prepared to shoot, rather than be prevented from redeeming tho State.” .. * That this is not, on the part df the Confederate leaders, a mete purpose to carry the “ solid South” for,Tilden, but has for its ultimate Object Something far beyond the pending Presidential election; is paiEable to every observing person. What i that object was plainly Stated by Wade Hampton, in an address' before the Virginia Military Institute in 1868, ttyl is reported by a Richmond paper, as fellows r* Alluding most touchingly to anrmartyred dead, he said that our 'grief should be tempered, at we Vefflember that they fell when they thought toey would ayqt faJLiavain—that they feuin the bright nope that euccess would crown: theiraffante. Bnt he did eud believe that they had fallen in vain— the ‘cause for which Jackson And Stewart fell, cannot he “ The Lott Cause—for which..our soldiers fell.” This was drank silently and lsolemniy by “The Lost Cause,” which, “in some form,” is “ yet tp triumph*” 18 the one end and aim of Hampton and. his Confederate associates, and allthttt they da for or with the Democratic party, looks to that object. Tilden was nominated by their aid, and,is now supported by them, simply and, solely because they think can use him, and for no other reason.' They Would as readily support HAyew, if he could,be used by them. , , * , What, is to be done f Howls this crime against free government to be prevented ? How ia the ballot-box to be protected fiosa this startling assault? Has it come to this, that the chriice of President of the JJnited States is to be..coitt|-plkd,,by Rifle Clubs and Ku-Elox Elans, made np of unfepentaint and nnrPconstrueied rebeto? Isthiathe“fom” in wlrtch , Mthe, cause” is “yet to triumph?” These are questions for the deettion of the ihtelligent people of the North. It may not be in their power or that of the Government to secure to citizens in tho South the right to a free ballot at the coaxing etoctioas, but they can, by means <rf their own bal. lots—thank God, yet free—defbat the ppr. pose of this, great crime* by insuring the defeat of Tilden and Hendnckb, ja wbose behalf it, is undertaken.
