Hancock was shot in a bar room

Jo. Hancock is probably no relation

Omaha Bee: The Herald heads an
editorial "How Money Talks in In

column of Mr. Jay Sterling Morton's
writing to inform people that five dol
lars a vote imports sufficient Kentucky
bruisers to talk very loudly in the
Ohio river counties of Indiana.
Is anvbody anxious to know what
Gen. Garfield would do with rebel
claims? Xo, we guess not. He is in
no doubtful position on that question;
and the section from whence ho will
get his votes are known to be as hostile
to rebel claims as the section from
whence Hancock will get his is favor
able to them.
"Consider'" You Democrats, do you
hear what "Wade nampton is saying?
"Consider," he implores you, "what

Wade is talking hear him. "Consid

fought for four -years," and he don't
think it would be right "to abandon

ought to know.
Hancock's letter on rebel claims, and
especially his promise to veto-any bill
proposed for their payment reads very
nicely. And so does that new Demo
cratic maxim of his that "llie thir
teenth, fourteenth andfifteentliamend
ments are inviolable," and so does the
Democratic platform declaring "The
right to a free ballot is a right preser
vative of all rights, and must and shall
be maintained in every part of the Uni
ted States," which are put out as a bait
to catch votes in tne -Nortnwnno mere
is not even a pretence of enforcing
such doctrine in the South. Hancock,
after uttering such sentiments as he
has in his acceptance letter, and stand
ing on a platform containing thepledge
, ,,ntP. above, aud yet in waiting to
accept the Presidency by frauds of the
plainest and meanest character, cannot
be accredited with honest intentions,
and candor in that letter or any prom
ises ho may make.
Pacts for the People.
There is a constant increase of inter
est upon a practicle plane of business
necessities and stability, in the matter
of fraudulent voting or corrupt and
violent control of the voting popula
tion, such as is evidently the case in
the Southern States. Men, otherwise
careless of sentiment, and not easily
affected by individual cases of oppres
sion, are realizing that the "Solid
South" represents the control of the
country by means of its ignorance, vice,
sedition and malevolence. While they
do not fear that the Union is to be de
stroyed or the war of secession is to be
renewed; yet they do feel that the
Democratic party, controlled by its
worst elements, is altogetlier unfit to
bo entrusted with power. The plain
facts are, after all, the most startling.
Tiiere can be no better proof of the
thoroughness of the Democratic con
spiracy against the free exercise of po
litical rights in the South, than the
completeness with which the object in
the section most affected has been at
tained. It is this lesult and the appal
ling facts it conveys that demand the
attention of every citizen. "What are
the facts?
Seven Southern States were in lS74-,"
under control of tlie Republican party,
through executive officers elected by
members. It must be borne in mind
also that by Executive is meant not
only the Governor's and a large propor
tion or all of the State officers, but the
control, through the same part', of the
larger part of the counties in the-States
named. The Courts and the School
administrations were also all Republi
can. The Republican States were as fol
lows: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Xorth Carolina
and South Carolina 7 in all.
In 1S70, the only Stales under even
nominal Republican control, so far as
he Exo cutives -are concerned, were
Florida and South Carolina.
In 1S7S, there were not only no Re
publican Executives, and but very few
judicial officers affiliated with that or
ganization left within the Southern
States, but in several of them there
were no candidates. This was the case
in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, South
Carolina and Mississippi.
Those who voted as Republicans
were blotted out as citizens.
LEGISLATURES SEIZED.
The Bourbon Confederate leaclion
had more than manifested itself by
1S74. The same covert and dangerous
methods, which have since been so
thoroughly successful, had been felt in
bale-'ul effects throughout the South.
But there is no need to go back of the
Legislative elections of 1S73. In that
year, at the State elections, there were
elected to the several State Legislatures
the following Republicans:

The Legislatures of Louisiana and
South Carolina still remained Republi
can, and Texas was overwhelmingly
Democratic. It must be borne in mind
that five of the States above named
were in 1S72-3 under the full control of
the Repub'ican party.
The next Legislative elections were
for 1ST 0-7. The figiues stood as fol

In the case of Louisiana and South

cral'c control aer the first attempts at

In several States, the accessible in
formation does not divide the numbers.
But in all of them the total Republican
vote and the Democratic majorities
are presented. While securing Gov
ernors, Courts, Legislatures and Coun
ty officials, the Southern Democrats
have not been idle on the Xational side
of the balances of power. The posses
s'on of Congress has been a necessary
part and consequence of the Democrat
ic conspiracy. Going back to 1875,
when the House of Representatives
became Democratic by a small major
ity, and what do we find? It the
States, whose political relations are be
ing considered, the following was the
position of the delegations in the Forty-fourth
Congress:
Senate House
Rep. Dem. Rep. Dem.
Alabama 1 1 2 0
Arkansas 2 - - 4
Florida 1 1 '2 -
Georgia - 2 - 9

South Carolina. 2 - 5 -

One vacant.
This shows a change of twenty-two
Representatives and two Senators
from the Republican to the Democratic
side, in the Forty-fourth over the Forty-third
Congress.
The character of the movement that
is hero outlined is made still more dis
tinct in the present the Forty-fifth
Congress. The position is as follows:

This again sIioavs a Republican loss
of eight (8) Senators, and of thirteen
(13) Representatives.
Comment is hardly necessary on
these staitliug facts. They speak for
themselves. The manner in which
they have been brought about is part
of the current history of the land.
Even the Southern Democratic press
no longer deny the fact that terrorism
has been their most potent agent.
They only argue that it is not now
perpetrated. The means are simpler;
they belong to the Tweed system, and
summed up in the boast: "Wo have
got the count." The full extent of the
blotting out process by which the
Southern Republicans have been al
most annihilated, can be appreciated
by a brief examination of the tables of
population and citizenship as is shown
in the census of 1S70. By that enu
meration within the 11 ex-Confederate
States, the population was: whites,
5,050,328; colored, 3,949,032 a total of
8,999,358. The citizen population was.
as follows:
White, 1,100,270; colored, 814,550; a
total of 1,914,820, or a small fraction
less than one voter in five persons.
These figures show with startling dis
tinctness how complete is the practical
nullification of the " constitutional
amendments, declared by the Wade
Hampton platform, as adopted at Xew
York by the Democratic Xational
Xominating Convention, to be ''uncon
stitutional, revolutionary, and void."
The same platform, as prepared by
Gen. Hampton and endorsed by Gen.
Hancock, also declared that to the
States alone belonged citizenship, and
they alone had the right to declare who
are entitled to the ballot. The South
ern States have not yet obtained,
through full Democratic control of the
country, the power to enact these de
clarations into new law, but they have
succeeded up to this date in making
them almost accomplished facts with
in the eleven States so solidly under
their control. X. X.
The Ivennebec Journal gives the re
turns from each county in Maine, from
the best sources possible now, which
which foot up as follows:
Davis 73,579
Planted 73.3S9
Scattering 475
These figures give Davis a majority
over Elaisted of 190; and the united
votes of Plaisted and scattering make
a majority over Davis of 2S5, and in
sures the election of Davis, if not by a
plurality, under the new constitutional
provision, by the legislature. Plaisted's
only chance to be Governor is in a plu
rality, and that the plurality provision
is applicable to this eleclion. He
claims a plurality of 300.
In 1S72 Indiana elected a Democrat
ic Governor by 1.14S majority, and
then turned around in Xovember and
gave the Republican candidate for
President 22,515 majority.
In 1S0S in that State the Republicans
elected their Governor by only 901 ma
jority, and gave the Republican nomi
nee for President in Xovember same
year 9,572.
In 1S7G Hayes' vote was 207,971;
the greenback vote was 9,533. Com
bined Republican and greenback vote,
217,301. Tilden's vote was 213,520
less combined vote of Republican and
greenbackes, 3,9S2. Indiana is a doubt
ful States.
"Which way do the victories in Maine
go. after all? What victory did the
Republicans win? Both houses of the
legislature, a U. S. Senator, three out
of five Congressmen, and the wiping
out of the majority of the combined oj
position to the patty.
Of what does the victory of the
greenbackers consist? Possibly the
Governor and two Congressmen.
The Democrats what did they win?
They had no ticket in the field, and did
not even help nominate any; and no
Democrat running even thegreenback
governor being an old Republican.
Where does any Democratic victory
come m, any wav

A German Garfield and Arthur club
was recently organized in South Bend,
Ind , with a membership of sixty or
seventy, many of whom had formerly
affiliated with the Democratic party.
The Germans of that State are thor
oughly aroused over the action of the
Supreme Court in overthrowing the
amendments, and will vote the Repub
lican ticket, which they never did be
fore. A man from Xorton county, Kansas,
is in Iowa soliciting help for the starv
ing, naked people of his county, ren
dered destitute by the drouth in the
fore part of the season. There are in
that county about 1.S00 in absolute
want of food; that families there for
weeks have had nothing to eat but raw
wheat or corn meal. JJc says the pa
pers suppress these facts, as making
them known might injure the State.
a
J. B. Chapline of Monroe county, Ar
kansas, was elected county judge, in
opposition to the Democratic candidate,
but the certificate of election was given
to his opponent. He then commenced
a contest in the courts. One night
since then a coffin was left in his door-
yard, with a note warning him not to
continue the contest. Such is Hancock
Democracy.
A "Washington telegram savs Mr.
Riggs, the leading banker in "Washing
ton, said there was 81,000,000 laying
idle in his bank waiting for the result
before investment. There seems to be
no doubt that capital is distrustful all
over the country, and will be hoarded
in safe places from this time on till
after election.
The Telegraph, a Democratic paper
at Hot Springs, Arkansas, recently
published the cut of a confederate flag,
the "stars and bars," and had the
names of Hancock and English in
scribed thereon. That is a Democratic
flag true to life. There are thousands
of them waving over the solid 13S elec
toral votes. I
The Republicans of Maine Avere Avise
in electing a good big majority in the
Legislature, which insures a Republi
can to succeed Senator Hamlin. Such
11 victory is of real importance; for

STATE MATTEES.
The Lincoln Globe gives -the fol
lowing account of death of a young man
named Hinkle, in Dundy county. His
father lives in Franklin county, Mo.:
He commenced bleeding at the nose and
after suffering from the loss of blood,
by bandaging the nose the flow was
stopped for a short time when i tf com
menced again intern;tlly, filling his
throat and issuing from his mouth and
earsy until he died. Attending physi
cians are unable to account for the
cause of his death.
A young man named Hogan was
killed by B. & M. cars, near Friend
ville, last week. The particulars of the
accident is not known, but it is sup
posed he was stealing a ride.
Lincoln Globe : The State Insane
Asylum is rapidly filling up at the pres
ent time. There are one hundred and
ninety-one patients in the institution.
During the past month about sixty
have been received and forty discharg
ed, leaving an increase of twenty in a
single month. During the past week
six were brought in and three discharg
ed. leaving an increase of three in a
week. At this rate Xebraska will have
to build anothersddition to the asylum
soon. "" .
It is announced that during the
third week in October a musical con
vention will be held at Humboldt, to
be conducted by Prof. Woiiey.
State Journal: The complaint
that the corn crop was, ruined in this
State, by the dry weather, was about as
exaggerated as it was about the de
struction of the wheat; although it is
true that the crop has been consider
ably shortened in some parts of Xe
braska, yet the yield will compare very
favorably Avith that of most other
States.
The Republican ladies of Hum
boldt recently presented to the Garfield
Guards of that city, a nice banner.
The State Fair held at Omaha last
week, is said to be the best, in every
feature, ever held in the State.
A book agent was cowhided by a
lady, whom he insulted, at Syracuse
one day last week. His name is not
given, but he may be known as a ped
dler of a cheap Encj-clopedia.
Syracuse 7wa: One day last
week a miserable wretch of a. saloon
keeper at Xebraska City sold a drunken
devil enough liquor to make him a per
fect fiend. Sheriff McCullum found the
man in his home, where he had been
attracted by cries, standing over his
poor wife with a hatchet with which he
had just struck her. A little child lay
dead in the home of the brute at the
time.
The Omaha Republican of the25th
inst. has a good and truthful article ex
posing the corruptions of that accom
plished demagogue and Democratic
leader,' J. Sterling Morton. Read it.
Two young bloods of Lincoln,
known as Dutch George and Lee Mont
gomery, last week enticed two young
girls of that city to go with them; in a
wagon on a trip to Tecumseh. They
were arrested, at the iastance of the
mothers of the girls, and being unablo
to enter into bonds of one thousand dol
lars each, are now cooling off 'in jail.
The State Journal says of the State
Fair: "It is pronounced by all the
grandest fair ever held in the north
west. A gentleman from Des Moines,
remarked in our hearing yesterday, that
the 'Iowa State Fair wasn't a patching
to it.'"
On the outside of last week's issue
we published the address of the Repub
licans of Alabama, which includes ex
amples of the methods resorted to by
the Democrats to thwart the will of
the majority of the people of that
State and give themselves the oflices.
We do not print this or anything of
the kind, to open the eyes'of the aver
age Democrat to the rascality of his
partv leaders; for he is so perverse of
mind that he shuts his eyes to all
such evidence, will not permit himself
to investigate and reason; and thus
imbued and saturated Avith falsehood
and corruption, he says "its all a lie."
But avc print these incontrovertible
truths for the use and instruction of
Republicans, and such of other parties
as are not so much sAvayed by partisan
bias that they cannot be affected by ev
idence. We print the following from
the True Issue, a Democratic Alabama
paper published at Birmingham, as
corroborative of all the Republicans
charge. In a leading article upon the
Presidential situation, the Trus Issue
says :
Democratic papers realize that dam
age has been done Hancock by this
put-up majority of 93,000. The cry of
fraud 'Avhich has been raised by the
cheated and Avronged people is repeat
ed throughout the land, and is telling
fearfully against us at the Xoith, and
blighting chances that Avere bright up
to the lime the manipulators handled
that iniquity that disgraces the legisla
tion of the last session, the neAv elec
tion laAV. It Avas intended to defraud,
and Avas so used. It is loo much, how
ever, and the 93,000 majority looks as
ugly as did the 7 to S commission four
years ago. There was no occasion for
so gigantic a fraud for any party pur
poses. TAA'euty thousand majority
Avould Ikia'c been fullv enough to se
cure all the offices of the State and
tested the AA-orking character of the
"machine" that can grind out ballots
and add up a majority that does not
eyist, that disfranchises people and de-
nies aliens the right of a free ballot
and an honest count. Alabama carried
by the fraud of a mean, villainous
election law loses to the nartv in the
United States the choice of "a Presi
dent, and makes, perhaps, a radical
cnange.
The editor of the True Issue sees
that his party has been too hoggish
93,000 "looks ugly" because it goes so
far beyond all reason. "Twenty thous
and would have been fully enough.''
The fraud was all right in the mind of
the editor but the figures are prepos
terous, and the Xorth is talking about
it, and Hancock's chances are in terri
ble jeopardy in consequence of it. He
is right. Every honest man turns

Eanccck on Eebal War Claims.
In answer to a letter addressed to
him making inquiry as to Iioav he re
gards the rebel claims against the Gov
ernment Gen. Hancock Avrites the fol
loAving letter, Avhich will be satisfac
tory to northen Democrats no doubt:
Governor's Island, X. Y., Septem
ber 23, 1SS0. Theodore Cook, Esq.,
Cincinnati, O. Dear sir: Your letter
of the 20th inst. is received. In it
you regret that you are disturbed about
that bugbear, "southern Avar claims."
The people cannot be misled by it.
To suppose that "rebel claims in the
interest of persons Avho Averein the re
bellion can in any Avay or any degree-be
countenanced is an imputation of dis
loyalty such as used to be made against
democrats eA'en when they Averc in arms
defending the country. So far as it
touches me I denounce it. The govern
ment can never pay a debt, or grant a
pension, or a reward of any sort for
Avaging war upon its own existence
nor could I be induced to approve or
encourage the payment of such debt,
pension or reAvard. Xobody expects or
Avauts such unnatural action. To pro
pose it Avould be an insult to the in
telligence and honor of our people.
"When the rebellion Avas crushed the
heresy of secession in every incident
Avent down forever. It is a thing of
the dead past. "We move forward, not
backAvard. If I Avere president Iwould

In rebellion, Avhether pardoned or not.
In relation to Union AA'ar claims, the
government's obligations to its defend
ers come first. They are lasting and
sacred. Public laws of civilized nations
do not recognize claims for injuries to
property resulting from operations of
AA'ar. Xevertheless, our government
has treated Avith great indulgence
claims for losses and damages sustain
ed by Union men from military opera
tions of the AA-ar of the rebellion. But,
as hostillities Avere closed more than
fifteen years ago, claims of that nature
are iioav mostly in the hands of brokers
or persons other than the original suf
ferers and are becoming stale, and, in
my judgment, might fairly be consid
ered as barred by lapse of time, and if
hereafter entertained at all, should be-
subjected to the strictest scrutiny.
Yours truly,
Signed W. S. IEaxcock.
The gifted Do La Matyr has been
there and found out, like Weaver. In
an interview with a correspondent of
the Louisville Commercial, he tells
Iioav he regrets hispastpolilical record.
He says it is impossible for him to be
a Democrat, nis predilections are for
Republicanism, and it has been a A'ain
struggle for him to enter theDemocrat
ic ranks. His receut experiences in
Alabama have convinced him that the
pictures of that benighted land painted
by Republicans are not overdraAvn.
Free speech is impossible there. Inter
Ocean.
De La Matyr in the last Congress
and the extra session did his best to
be a Democr.it, voting Avith them on
every political question, and the ReA
gentleman's conscience must haA'e been
terribly tried on many occasions. But
his trip down South this summer fur
nished the last feather, and ho must
confess that the picture of Democracy
as painted by Republicans is not over-draAA-n.
Wo are glad that' De La
Matyr has been plucked as a brand
fiom the fire, before his con
science became seared and he a con
firmed Democrat. "What a blessing to
the country it AA'ould be if many other
Democrats had sufficient political con
science left for truth to grapple Avith.
The democratic platform adopted at
Cincinnati declares that
"The right to a free ballot is a right
preservative of all lights, and must
and shall be maintained in every part
of the United States."
The Inter Ocean publishes a lelte.
from Mr. Alex. II. Byrd, of Alabama.
In the one precinct from Avh'ch ho
Avr'les, Mr. Byrd states that there Avere
71S votes cast. According to the
count by democratic judges, the demo
cratic ticket had a majority; but now
come forward 021 men Avho" make affi
davit that they voted the republican
ticket, which Avould give an absolute
republican majority in the precinct of
over 500 a majority shamefully ig
nored and destroyed by the Hancock
democracy. The statements of Mr.
Byrd (this is only one among others)
are, says the Inter Ocean, tlio state
ments of a native southerner, Avhose
family lost 200 slaves by the Avar; of
one Avho never AToted the republican
ticket, but AA'ho feels iioav that the
very existence of the government de
pends upon saving it from the greed
and disloyalty of the southern democ
racy. Gen. Garfield is the man for the
country and the people. Long before
he Avas nominated for President he ut
tered these noble Avords:
In reference to our custom laAAs a
policy should be pursued Avhich Avill
bring revenues to the Treasury, and
Avill enable the labor and capital em
ployed in our great industries to com
pete fairly in our own markets with the
labor and capital of foreign producers.
We legislate for the people of the Uni
ted States, and not for the Avhole
Avorld, and it is our glory that the
American laborer is more intelligent
and better paid than his foreign com
petitor. Our country cannot be inde
pendent unless its people Avith their
abundant natural resources possess the
requisite skill at any time to clothe,
arm and equip themselves for AA-ar, and
in time of peace to produce all the nec
essary implements of labor. It AA-as
the manifest intention of the founders
of the GoA'ernment to pro Aide for the
common defence, not by standing arm
ies alone, but by raising among the peo
ple a greater army of artisans Avhose
intelligence and skill should poAverful
ly contribute to the safety and glory of
the nation.
Douglas Williams, a nepheAV of Gow
Williams, of Ind., Avas killed on the
night of the 24th inst, in a bagnio at
Vincennes, by a railroad employe
named Ed. Hogan. Hogan used a
club.
Luke "Walton, at River Falls, "Wis.,
25th inst, killed his daughter Mar-,
and so cruelly beat his younger daugh
ter Emma, that her life is dispaired of.
The murderer escaped but is supposed
to be insane.
The "Mississippi plan" has been in
troduced into Southern Indiana, where
there is a large negro population, and
"night riders" are out, making threats
and attempting to frighten the colored
SELECT TELEQEAMS.
UFORnrXATE INDIANS.
Ottaava, Sept. 23. A gentleman
just returned from Desert says fully
120 deaths occured from small pox.
In one camp of sixteen persons, all but
one died. The Tete Boutes Indians
are about extinct.
SECURITIES NORTH AND SOUTH FOR 40
YEARS AVERAGE DIFFERENCE.
"Washington, Sept. 22. An invest
igation has been made of the amount
and price of State securities from 1841
to the present time, and some startling
conclusions are shoAA'n. It appears
that from the market reports that the
quotations of Southern bonds shoAV
that the average price for the forty
years is below 30 per cent, Avhile for
the same period the bonds of theXorth
ern States average above par. It is a
curious coincidence that the aA'erage
price for the Xortlnvestern and XeAV
England States is axactly the same,
being a little OA'er 100 per cent.
REPUDIATION OF HONEST DEBTS BY
THE "SOLID SOUTH."
"Washington, Sept 22. The result
of an investigation into the financial
condition of the Southern States AVas
published 'in these dispatches some
time ago, shoAving the repudiation of
the Southern Shite debts amounted to
some 120,000,000, Later inquiries
shoAV that this figure Avas short of the
actual fact, disheartening as it appear
ed, and it now is shown that the sum
readies $139,000,000. This omits the
States of Virginia and Tennessee oAving
to the doubt existing yet as how they
finally settle their debts.
democratic rascality; in Arkansas
Littlh Rock, Ark., Sept. 23. The
election farce in this county culminated
to-day in the Canvassing Board refus
ing to count tho A'ote of Young Town
ship, AA'hich is uverAVhelmingly Republi
can. This rascally action of the Dem
ocratic canvassers deprives all Republi
can county officers or the offices to
Avhich the'' Avere elected, except Sherff
01nrer and Judge Coutes. The Avhole
case has been managed by "W. L. Terry,
as attorney for tho Demociats, and is
one of many frauds perpetrated by the
Democrats in the past six years.

during Avhich time I shall visit Boston.

A GENUINE SEA SERPENT.
San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 22. A
Victoria dispatch says: "A sea serpent,
six feet in lengtli, Avith an orthodox
mane, head shaped like a panther, and
tail whittled doAvn to a fine point, AAas
brought in by the Indians yesterday,
AA'ho caught it in deep Avater in the
Straits of Dehara. Its appearance
creates interest among the savants, and
old fishermen cannot place the monster.
The serpent has been photographed,
and the body Avill be preserved in
spirits and sent to OttaAva for classifica
tion. THE MISSOURI RFVER.

souri River ImproA'ement Com'ention,

000, and produces annually nearly 500,
000,000 bushels of grain; that the repre
sentatives of this vast section demand

gation of the Missouri RiAerthat it has
permitted to be erected in the Avay of
bridges ; for remoA'al of all snags and
drifts; for deepening the channel of
the river, and the protection of the pro
perty of the citizens along its banks;
that the survey of the riA'er uoav in
progress from its mouth to Sioux City
should be continued to Fort Benton,
and that Avhen the survey is completed

tions as will secure the speediest im
provement of the river. The resolu
tions also provide for the appointment

tivity. The bulk of shipments take

and tho distribution to all freight ship
ments is from 20 to 30 per cent, trade.
both Avholesaleand retail has surpassed
all expectations.

"Washington, Sept. 23. Postmaster
General Maynard returned from Ten
nessee to-day. He says the Republicans
are A'ery confident of electing Pettibone
in tho First Tennessee Congressional
District Avhich Avill be a Republican
gain. He says the Republican party in

Avill probably giA'e Garfield tiie largest
vote that the party has ever cast in
that State.
