There was a meetiug of the nanoockand English Club of St. Francoistownship last Saturday, and an ex-ample set that should be imitated byevery Democratic club throughout thebtate.

Rev. Alvin Rucker. Chairman ofthe Democratic Executive Committeeof this county, presented for the consideration of tbe club a communication from Shannon C. Douglas, Chairman or tne eta to uemocratio execu-tive Committee, appealing for volun-rar- y

contributions tor the purpose ofaiding the Democrats of Indiana andOhio In the vigorous canvass now be-ing conducted In those States.

blow-outs- ," but raise money and sendit to the Chairman of our State Com-

mittee who will transmit it where itwill do the most good. The expensesof speakers must be paid; documentsmust be printed and circulated. Wehave 100,000 office-holde- rs to fight, andthe war cannot be carried on withoutmoney. A mite from each Democraticvoter in this State would make In theaggregate a large sum. Let us raise it,and raise it now.

Truth front a Republican News-paper.

The foliowidg is taken from theNewton (Mass.) Jlcpublicanot the 14thinst., an Influential Republican paper,published almost within the shadowof Faneuil Hall. There is not a conscientious Republican in all the landwho will attempt to deny the factsstated, nor the conclusions formed upon them:

Th3 testimony of Oakes Ames that Garfieldagreed to take ten shares ot the Credit Mobll--ler Is recorded, as Is also the statement thatGarfield received $329 as dhldends from thoseshares, knowing that It was a dividend, andwe believe Mr. Ames told tbe truth, all thebiographers in tho country to tbe contrary,notwithstanding.

Is there any good reason why Republicanvoters, who believe In honest practices andthe selection ot clean men for administeringthe Government, should support one manwho has been guilty of bribe-takin- g, whenthey hare refused to support another equallycorrupt!

The better portion of the Republican partywere opposed to the nomiuatlen ot James G.Blaine because of the very strong evidence ofbis guilt in receiving a bribe from the CreditMobiller. Is it consistent for this portion ofthe party to look with any more favor anonJames A. Garfield, against whom the evidenceIs Just as strong that he too was guilty of slike offence? Ilardly a day passes that we donot hear some good-nature- d Republican oftentimes prominent men express himself asbeing ilissatlsfl- d with tbe ticket, but that"we ought to make the best of It;" and werespectfully ask these gentlemen If they wouldbe willing to act on the same principle whenemploying a bookkeeper, whom they knew tobe dishonest, to take charge of their cash!Of course the answer would be in the negative.

It the honest voters of the country menwho desire the prosperity and happiness ofthe .whole people, regardless of party really want to "make the beat of tbe situation. Itseetna to us that there are bat two ways bywhich they caa act conscientiously, vli., either to cast their votes for Hancock, or to votefor some Republican statesman with a cleanrecord, like Edmunds, or wbat will be better.perhaps, "make the best of It" by not votingall.

The Truth Precisely.From Hendricks Speech, at Marion, Ind.

Garfield's nomination means the endorsement and approval in the mostpositive and offensive manner possibleof the Presidential fraud of 187G-- 7. Hehad more to do with it than any otherman, and was the only man who occupied toward it a double relation. Afterthe election Garfield went to New Or-

leans by request of Gen. Grant, without authority of law, as a partisian.Hs went there to assist his- - party inmaRing up a case, and after his returnto Washington, of all his associates hewas the only man who took his seatupon the Electoral Commission. Byevery sentiment of fair play he shouldhave been excluded from the jury box.By his own sworn statement of whathe did in New Orleons, Garfield hadcharge of the returns from West Feliciana Parish. In one of the inner roomsof Packard's Custom House he did hiswork, and examined the affidavits,and when they were not sufficientlyfull, he prepared or had prepared ad-

ditional interogatories to bring themwithin the rules adopted by the Returning Board. The testimony, so receivedby Garfield, went back to the Returning Board, and the result was thatWest Feliciana with its Democraticmajority was thrown out. In Wash-

ington, Garfield's vote was that Con

gress could not go behind the returnsthus made. As agent for his party hehelped to make returns by manipulating the evidence; and as juryman forthe nation he held such evidence asconclusive and binding.

Quotable Sentences from Cen.Hancock's Slate Papers. -

Public office is a trust, not a bountybestowed upon the holder.

The bayonet is not a fit instrumentfor collecting the votes of freemen.

Power may destroy the forms, but notthe principles of justice; these will livein spite of even the sword.

Th crrpnt nrincinlesof American liberty still are the lawful inheritance ofthis people, and ever suouiu oo.

Tho rm v should have nothinz to dowith the selection or inauguration ofPresidents. The people elect he Pres-ident.

It is a vital principle in our systemthat neither fraud nor force must beallowed to subvert the right of the;people.

publicans to secure Congresmeo thisfall. Some of the organs do not hesitate to say that they must get controlof Congress, 'even it Garfield has toslide. Chairman Jewell is sendingmoney into the States of Georgia,Florida and North Carolina for thispurpose.

The Indiana Democrats are satisfiedthat negroes are sent daily from Ken-tucky into that State to vote the Republican ticket at the approachingelection. Whether they will vote ac-

cording to contract remains to be seen.They will have to be very sharp toelude the vigilance of the Democratic watchers. Those Indiana Demo-crats are very tough customers, anddon't stand any foolishness about elections.

St. Louis politicians are whoopingeach other up over some alleged irre,ularities in the primaries to choose del-

egates to the State Democratic Convention. It is claimed by tbe defeatedparties that their opponents used mon-

ey to attain their ends, and the matterhas been taken into the courts. Itwill probably simmer there until November, and then disappear forever.Campaign animosities, as a rule, arenot everlasting.

The Philadelphia Record, independent, recalls to mind an important factin this brief paragraph: "The most ap-

palling fact that confronts Republicanadministration in the United States isthe predominance of white men in theDemocratic party. The vote In 1876

showed that a majority of at least onemillion white men's votes were cast forthe Democratic candidate for PresidentThis is a condition so pregnant withcoming disaster that blind men can almost see it."

In 1873 the Ohio Republican StateExecutive Committee declined to allow General Garfield any appointments to stump that State for GeneralEdward. F. Noyes.theu a candidate forGovernor and jiow Minister to France,This was by the knowledge and consent of Governor Noyes. Colonel S T.Vykoff", thn Secretary of. State and

now pension agent at Columbus, wasat that time Chairman of the committee, whose action was very generallyapproved by the Republicans of thatState.

The Chicago Tribune prints a replyfrom Will H. Kernan, late associateeditor of the Okolona (iIiss.) States,to the resolutions of a recent meetingof respectable citizens of Okolona, inwhich- - he was denounced as a "literarytramp and mendicant," the "paid hire-ling and pimp of Radicalism," bornin Ohio and sent to Mississippi in 1876as a "Radical emissary." Kernan having been discovered in his true char-acter, has left the State of Mississipi,and writes a letter to the Chicago pa-per denouncing the citizens of Okolona who took part in the recent meetings as "liars, cowards, vagabonds, lib-

ertines, gamblers and social outlaws."This settles Kernan's character pret-

ty conlusively. He pretended to be aviolent and untamed secessionist, andto speak for the people of the South;but the fact that he has left Mississippi, after having become a stench in thenostrils of the people, and that he sendshis last letter to a Chicago Republicanpaper, shows that he has found hisproper place at last.

. Aid to Our Friends.So far as Missouri is concerned, the

Democracy needs no further organiza-tion than that necessary to put intonomination the candidates whose elec-tion is sure to succeed in November.But a closer organization is necessaryto enable us to extend help to ourfriends in tbe closer and doubtfulStates, and if we do not extend thataid to the extent of our ability we fallfar shortof performing our whole duty.We believe in Democratic principles;we hold that the ascendancy of the De-

mocracy in the National Governmentwould result in great good to all thepeople; we profess that the continu-ance of the Republican party in powerwould virtually endorse all its hein-ous crimes, and render self-governm-

insecure, if not wholly d-st- roy it.With these professions, we are calledupon, on priqciple, to do all that maybe honestly done to bring about thedesired end. Let us therefore bindourselves together in still closer union,and extend to our brethren in Indianaand Ohio and Illinois all the assistancein our power and let us go to work at ;

once. There is danger in delay. Weicall upon our Democratic friends inevery township to form themselves in-

to Hancock and English clubs. Do '

money so obtained is being used In theStates named to carry the October elec-tions.

Money Is needed by the Democratof these States to conduct the cam-paign ; not, as a great -- many arefoolish enough to believe, to purchasevotes and upend corruptly, but forthe purpose of paying the expenses ofpublic speakers, mass meeting, andcampaign documents for distributionamong the reading and thinking class-es. Every campaign involves such,expenses, and they have been largelymet by a few men of the party, which'is too much of an imposition uponthem. The campaign fund may bemade large and effective by small vol-unta- ry

contributions by individual ;

members of the party, and especiallyby the actions of Democratic clubs inthis State, which is so largely Demo-cratic that little or no expenditure ofmoney is needed.

The Hancock and English Club ofthis place, appreciating this fact, andfeeling the necessity of extending someaid In the great work of dethroningRadical corruption and misgoverumcnt.on last Saturday unanimously adopteda motion contributing twenty dollaseto the Indiana and Ohio campuign fund. :A warraut was Immediately drawn onthe treasury of the club for that amount,and the money forwarded to W. II.Clopton. treasurer of the State Demo-cratic Executive Committee, to be byhim forwarded to the pioper personFarmington Times.

The Country'.Wants Peace.I From the N. T. Sun. 1

, In 1870 the redoubtable KUpatrick ,

was striving lu vain to get p a jpollti--c-al

revival 7uIullablC"Dlshlirtencr''at the feeble effect produced by his .speeches, he wrote o Hayes that thething needed was a "bloody shirt cam-paign and plenty of money."

That was the Republican cry in 1863and in 1872, when Grant was the can-didate. And uow in 1880,'fiftcen yearsafter the close of the civil war, wheneverybody wants peaco, but those poll-- ,

ticians who live by agitation, tho old ,

cry is revived and intensified.And should the organization survive

until 1884, the Logans, the Blalnt-s- , theJewells, the Conklings, and other stal- - 'warts will be found rehashing the samestories and preaching anew the gospel 'of hate.

The election of Gen. Hancock would 'soon finish thissectional crusade, which '

has been kept up solely in the iuterest i

of leaders that would fall Into obscuritywithout it. Hundreds of millions ofdollars would not pay the money costof a partisan agtation, whose fruits arediscord and distrust between the North,and the South, to the serious interrup- -tion of business relations, and injury totrade in all its branches.

Merchants, manufacturers, and me--chanics have all felt the damaging ef-fects of a pernicious contention, the aim .

of which is to keep people apart who ,

ought to be united and engaged in thecommon work of extending the nation- - .

al prosperity. The managers of the Re-publican party rely, exclusively upon ,

this sectional issue as their last hopoofretaining possession of power.

But they were left In a greAt minori-ty uion that test In 1876, and unit ss all '

the signs are false that minority will bestill greater in 1880.

The IjOUi8ville Courier-Journ- al isanxious to have some Republican organpoint out that part of General Hancock'sletter of acceptance which it objectsto.

The Democrats of Illinois are in highspirits, and claim that they will carrythat State for Hancock and English.While they may be a little over sanguine.such a result is not very Improbable.

Mr. Carl Schurz never wearies of re-

peating that the Democratic party isin the South. Figures show that theSouthern Democratic vote is 1,614,072,while the Northern poll is 2,670,685These are the statistics of 1876.

The Republicans are excited at theprobability of defeat even In Maine.There may be little cause for it, butthey show signs of fearful apprehen-sion of defeat. Speakers from otherStates have been invited by the scoreto aid in the defeat of the Demo-crats.

In 1873, under a terrible arraignmentfor corrupt and scandalous practices,General Garfield was asked by hisRepublican constituents to resign hisseat in Congress. In 1874 his renomi-natio- n

was bitterly contested, andwhen nominated a large body of Re-

publicans bolted, nominated GeneralCasement, and reduced Garfield's for-

mer majority of 12,000 to 2,800.

The coalition between the Democratsand Greenbackers in Maine is nowcomplete. The two parties have unit-ed on a State ticket, on members ofCongress and on the legislative ticket,as well as Presidential electors. Theyhave, therefore, not only an excellentprospect for carrying the State andelecting a majority of the Congress-men, but also of securing a UnitedStates Senator to succeed HannibalHamlin. Hon. Bion Bradbury is spok-en of in that connection, i

icg the condition of the unfortunatoman, placed him on the up train thatnight and took him to the Iron Moun-tain hospital at Carondclct. where hisleg was amputated and be died abouteight hours thorafter.

A coincidence peculiar enough maybe mentioned In connection. The part-ner or chum of Burke, who accompa- -nied him to this road from somewherein the East.was killed at Curotidelct on . !the same night.

Gen. Garfield's reputation for per-sonal honesty has now ben formallyapproved by Hchuyler Colfax, of lmi-an- a,

James W. Patterson, of NewHampshire, and Sccor Bobbcrson, ofNew Jersey iun. .
