SHOOK, President Hayes has accepted an election as vice-president of. the Ameri can Bible Society. - On the 28th ult. at Warren, Ohio, was held one of the grandest political meetings of the campaign. In the wigwam 10,000 people were addressed by Senator Conklin3,and Gen. Grant presided. "Wasn't that a brilliant little speech Hancock made the other day to the little delegation of shippers that called on him. Such flashing, scintillating intellectual gems never found utterance by mortal man. before How he ever delivered such chunks of wisdom and lived, is a mystery. Congressimm Frye says: "Accord ing to the votes now in, Plaistediias a plurality of thirty. The mistakes in tho spelling of Plaisted's name will not be t.iken advantage of by the Republi cans in case they are shown to be mere ly clerical errors. "We will not imitate the tricks of OarcelDm Dr. Talmadge preached on Mormon ism last Sunday, and declared that Sod om and Salt .Lake City were synony mous, and that the one would meet the Me of the other. "Both are in fertile valleys; both are-near a salt, of fensive, Ashless, dead sea; both are fa mous capitals, of the most accursed im purity; both are doomed." Mr. Morton, chairman Democratic State-Committee,. says he has no other use for Nebraska Democrats, than have them "stand up in row and be counted:" Such campaigning must be interesting to the Nebraska Democra cy. "Counting" however, is the main plank in Democratic platfonusnow-a-days. Vide the "Solid South." At tlie election- a year ago at Ft. Wayne, Ind., that county polled 15,000 and the Demoerats.had 5,000 majority. The recent census shows the county, city included, to contain only 30,000 inhabitants menwomen, children. This census business will interfere-with the big vote of that little- Democratic city, and tho usual Democratic major ity will bo very materially reduced. ThefjDemocrats are laughing-imtheir sleeves over the financial good man agement in presenting a ticket, the candidates in which are simply put up to bo knocked, down. They say Tip ton and Livingston will canvas, the State "for the lurnor there is.in it, and without cost to us!" Morton and Miller don't know these men as well as Republicans do. They'll' do no such thing. They want the "scads" in ad vance, and liberally toot "don't you forget!" How is this for a change? At the town of Leopold, Perry county-, India na, a Democratic organization called the Landers Club, recently after at tending a joint meeting between Lan ders and Porter, went over in a body to Porter, and changed their name to Porter Club. They Avero sfxtyin num ber. That is the way it goes all' over Indiana, and Barnum can hardly run in enough bummers from Kentucky and other States to counteract the stampedo from Landers to Porter. Tue Omaha Herald in announcing the Democratic State ticket, fails to mention the name of a single candidate except the two from Douglas county Boyd for elector and Pritchetf or attor ney general. The Editor gives as, an excuse: "to avoid a possible danger of being offensive !" Exactly! Tipton, Liv ingston, Calhoun, Tifquain and Hin- mait are ott the ticket all gentlemen so offensive to Dr. Miller that he dare uot name them inhis paper, and there- fore, "to avoid a possible danger of be ing offensive" he gives them the "grand bounce." "IIow good and how pleas ant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. It is like precious oil" etc., etc. Mr. Miller did not attend the convention. IJeiraska-Democratic Platform, But for the fact that we have other matter more valuable to our readers, we would give the Nebraska Democrat ic State Platform, sent out from Hast ings, last week, in full. It is a "speci men brick" fully in accordance with "tho time honored doctrines and tra ditions of the party." Us opening sen tence reads: "The Democratic party of Nebraska assembled here in delega ted convention, at Hastings, in Adams count', declare,, on this 20th day of September, one thousand eight hun dred and eighty," and so on. They omitted the precinct in Adams county, in which Hastings is situated. Also the hour at which, and the hall in which this august assemblage of re formers held their pow-wow. Then they yroceed,,as usuaL " whereas-'' and "resolve" in which they "charge" "ar raign" "demand" "denounce" and "op pose" adinjhiitum. Not a "promise" or "pledge" given. They furnish characters for Hancock and English, without which this Na tional campaign, on the Democratic side would come to an end. They- fa vor repudiation: "declare" themselves "opposed to all appropriations for pub lic buildings, or for any othtr purpose, whatsoever:" "denounce" the "insane asylum, tho penitentiary, the universi ty and other public buildings, in Ne braska." Then they close up with a challenge to "each and every Republican in Ne Nebraska" to. "discuss" their platform Tipton and Livingston are put up as discussers" on their side, while Miller slips off to Indiana and New York, and Morton, in all prololilists, will? sit in his comfortable parlors at Arbor Lodge, and through his private secre tary, "direct the forces." P. S. One "pledge" is made "to the solid principles of Freo Trade." State rights is oijiiUed. But Tintonwill'.tell the people as to that. Inter Ocean: General Hancock was waited upon the other day by a num ber of gentlemen who had held a com mercial conference in New York, and being of wealth and Fnlrucncc they were received with some formality. The General made them a speech. He said: I am highly honored, in being waited upon to-day by the representatives of the various branches of the shipping interest. 1 am very glad to receive this paper which you now present me. I am much pleased at your visit, if only because it has shown to me the details oi an organization that I was not per sonally familiar with. I will not be able to sav much to-day, as I have a cold and am very Hoarse: I was fear ful yesterday that I would not be able to meet this delegation to-day in con sequence of indisposition. I am very glad that I have been able to meet you. It is a very bad case of the ego. Any one who cares to count will discover that the personal pronoun I is used ten times in about as many lines. Com pare dus with the speech General! Gar field made to a commercial travelors' association which waited upon him at J Mentor, and the difference between the two men becomes-apparent. fcoma-onc givcs.tlie following: seven reasons for opposing the Democratic party. They are good ;is far as they go but the list might bo extended as long as your arm: 1st. It has destroyed, the purity of elections and made voting unsafe. 2d. It is the party of fraud and vio lence; the inventor of fraudulent nat uralization and false counting. 3d. It denies practically that we are a nation, and still holds the pernic ious doctrine of State rights which brought on the war. 4th. It claims to- be the party of economy and reform, vide Cipher dis Hatches, the extra session, and the "Maine steal." 5th. It honors and favors those who tried to destroy the Union. It de nounces and displaces from office those who fought to save it. Gth. It is the party which originated the doctrine, "to the victors belong the spoils." To this and to the doctrine of State rights it has consistently ad hered. 7th. It is the party of the solid South. It is the party of New York City, with all that tliis implies; it is the party of flat money. It is the party of Bourbonism, which forgets nothing and learns nothing. It is the party of southern civilization of barbarism, as opposed to the party of northern civili zation or free schools and intelligence. - c The fifteen counties in Nebraska having a population of ten thousand and over, stand in the following order: Douglas 07,S70 Lancaster . .

They also met while here committees from Nebraska City and Hamburg, Iowa,, who are seeking to induce their line to build a branch to those points. The Wabash is one of the great lines of the country, in fact a vast system of rail roads, in itself, streching its branches like network from Omaha, St. Joseph, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, Toledo, and Detroit, and coverings and connect ing intermediate points. Omaha Re publican: i en St Louis now has sixty kindergar tens, instructing 5,901 children, be tween the ages of five and seven. "Wlo are the Soldier's True Friends? Some time ago the claim agents at Washington demanded an assurance from General Garfield that in caso he was elected he would remove from of fice the present Commissioner of Pen sions, who has made himself very odious to this class of attorneys by cut ting down their fees, and protecting the ex-soldiers and widowed pension ers from their rapacity. General Gar field would not, of course, give any such assurance, whereupon a monthly journal published at Washington, the organ of the claim agents, called "The Soldier's True Friend," hiUiertoBepub lican, flopped over to the Democratic party, and now endeavors, with Dan Voorhees and other patriots, to show that the Democrats have been "the true Mends" of the soldier all the time This "True Friend" is very hard on Garfield, and tries to make out tliat if he had not been in Congress the ex Confederates would have passed the "equalization of bounties" bill. From its columns we gain the surprising in formation that the Democratic party originated and passed the arrears of pensions act, against the protests of the Republicans, who, it says, "year after year have treated the soldiers with contempt, and putting, them off with empty professions and promises." "It was not the trooly loyal," says "Tho Soldier's True Friend," who passed the act, but The "red-handed rebels" who voted 30,000,000 of arrearages to the men who destroyed their dream of a Con federacy. There isn't in all history an instance of more sublime .magnanimi ty ; but it has utterly failed of recogni tion. This act of unparalleled gener osity has elicited no response from the Republican partv but insult ami abuse. These are the facts, and this is the storv of the pension arrearages. It is a chapter of history of which every Democrat may well be proud of. It is a chapter that is full of reproach to the Republican party, And there is noth ing under the heavens more true than tho assertion that in all respects the ex-soldiers of the Union, have found tho Democratic Congress more ready to listen to their appeals, more prompt to do them justice, more ready to vote appropriations for their benefit than any Republican Congress ever was. It is scarcely worth whiUtp presume upon the intelligence of the readers of the Inter Ocean by answering such falsehoods, but the Democrats are cir culating this paper by the thousands. Every soldier in the North knows how barefaced they are. We will merely refer to the letter which Congressman Beltzhoover, a reliable Democrat, wrote to his constituent soldier who applied for a pension. Beltzhoover was on the floor of the House, and knows just how it was: House of Repkesextatives, Washington,!). C, April 23, 1SS0. Deak Sin: Your favor wjis duly re ceived. I would most cheerfully in troduce and urge tho passage of a bill, such as you suggest, but with the pres ent Democratic House pension bills do not have much favor. It has become almost impossible to get consideration of such a bill at all, and, when consid ered, its chance of passing the House is very remote, and the rebel General who is at the head of tliePension Com mittee in the Senate is still more averse to allowing any such bills to pass. It would not be at all probable, therefore, that the- bill will be got through. I will confer with your brother. If he thinks there is any thing in the matter I will very cordial ly act in the matter. Very truly, E. E. Bfltziiooveu. E. W. Curriden,Esq. It is only necessary further to refer tho reader to the files of the Record' of Congressional proceeedings in order that the spirit of the two parties, on pension measures-may beseen. The arrears of pensions bill was not introduced by "red-handed: rebels," as "The Soldier's. True Friend" asserts. It was introduced by an ex-Union soldier.Mr. Cummings, of Iowa, and passed the House on the 19th of June, 1878, by a vote of 104 yeas to Gt nays. Every Republican voted in the affirma tive! Every negative vote was cast by a Democrat! And all but three of the sixty-one negative votes were cast by ex-Con&derates.

Inter Jpcean: Now it remains to be seen whether the Democratic- vote counters in Maine will insist upon having the same rules and tests applied to the ballots this year that Garcelon and his associates enforced so vigor ously a year ago. In looking over the votes it is found that upon 1,470 bal lots the name of Harris M. Plaisted, the Greenback candidato for Governor, was improperly spelled, or printed, and upon 175 ballots similar mistakes are seen in the name of the Republican candidate. Assuming the Fusion claims of a plurality of 102 to be cor rect, and adopting the precedent estab lished by Garcelon, Davis will have a pluraKtv of 1,193. With. the tricks of Garcelon so fresh in their memory it is very singular that the Fusionists were so careless in printing their bal lots. Here are tho actual returns: Candidates. No. of votes.

Plaisded 102 The Lewiston (Mo.J Journal, which is edited by ex-Governor Shipley, a leading Republican, gives the Demo crats great gratification by the an nouncement that the dirty example set by Garcelon will not be followed by the Republicans. The rule that al ways prevailed in Maine until Garce lon's time, was to allow the typograph ical errors in the returns to be correct ed, and this will be allowed now. But it seems that fifty-seven votes were cast for "Harrison? M. Plaisted." Such t a man actually lives in the State of Maine, and "Harris M. Plaisted" can not claim the votes that he received. "Hiram M. Plaisted" and "Morris M. Plaisted" each received upward of two hundred votes, and the question occurs whether such can be counted for a man whose name does not appear on the ticket. The Republicans of Maine cannot afford to imitate the disreputa ble methods of Garcelon.'jby which, the failure to dot and i or cross a t vitiated a return, but they can afford to see that the law is strictly, fairly complied with. Omnlia Republican. And old Granny Tipton! May the Lawd have mercy upon us! A sort of contest might be arranged between Nance and Tipton. The peo ple could hear Tipton talk and then look at Nance, who need say nothing. Nobody who attended such a perform ance would vote far Tipton. Congressman Valentine is liighly complimented for his North Bend speech. Several Nebraska people have been awakened to the fact that Con gressman Valentine is not only a work er but a speaker, "General Hampton declared" that the Democratic party, under Hancock's lead, was fighting for the same princi ples that Lee and Jackson fought for, and for which the Southern soldiere died. There was no qualification in terms used, nis appeal waff for har mony in the Democratic party in Vir ginia, and to make it effective ho brougtnp thewar remembrance to touch the feelings of the audience." Stanton Valley Virginianr (Democratic. Ben. Butler, in his speech last Friday said, in times of peacehe was for peace, in times of war he was for war. A lady in the crowd said it reminded her of the old lady who said, when she made tea she made tea, and when she made water she made water. Indi-anian. He Stood Alone. Inhis speech injlnduinanolis last week, General Logan gave a leaf from the Congressional record of William H. English, of Indiana, Democratic candidate for Vice-President, that is not calculated to commend him to those who supported and defended the Union. It shows English to have been the worst Copperhead in Con cress at the time. This is tho state ment as proven by the record : On the 23d of February, 18G1, less than ten days before the expiration of the administration of President Buchan an, and when secession had already be come a fact as regarding several South ern States, Mr. Brand of North Carolina, introduced a resolution in the House asking that a regiment of troops, then stationed at Washington, should be withdrawn. The object of that resolu tion was evident. With these-troops out of the way, the control of Washington would have rested wholly with the mun icipal officials, and these were known to be in complete-sympathy with thcseSe cessionists who had declared that a re publican President should never bo in augurated in Washington. A Douglas Democrat moved to lay the resolution on the table. When the yeas and nays were called, every Southern Democrat in tho House there were but twenty four of them left voted against laying on the table. Every Northen -member, Republican and Democrat, except one, voted to lay on the table this proposi tion to leave the National Capital de fenseless to the threatened assults of armed treason. One Northen Democrat voted with the Southern Secessionists left to strip tho Government of its last defense against its traitorous ene mies. That one Northern Democrat ally of Southern treason was WILLIAM H. ENGLISH of Indiana, the present Dem ocratic candidate for Vice President. This is a matter of history that any one may read in the Congressional pro ceedings of 1SG1. Is it not enough of itself for every loyal man to determine upon the overthrow of the Democratic ticket. No chances should be taken on such a man becoming President. We would rather much rather vote for Jell Davis liimself than English. Hnrpcr's Weekly. Indiana has been general ly Democratic, and if it should be so in October, the fact would not materially change the situation. But if at tie State election Indiana should prove to be Republican, even the Democratic or gans admit that it would be a disas trous omen for their- cause. "General Hancock as President," saTs the Bystander, a Canadian month ly review of current events, published at Toronto, 'will be a most respectable cocked hat upon a pole, under which the South will rule; it will rule as it ruled in former days, because, though a minority., it is compact, united in in interest, highly political, and because it knows its own mind. It rules in the present Congress, and by its strength of will forces its Northern allies to do things which they dislike and know to be impolitic." Thus to a sagacious for eign observer the essential significance of this election is as evident as it is to us who are engaged in it. Even Mr. Bayard, who is generally held to-be the most candid and patriotic of the Dem ocratic leaders, makes a speech in South Carolina fn which he argues that more financial, disturbance is likely to- arise from Republican than from Democrat ic success. Yet Mr. Bayard, for sustaining- the general Republican policy of honest finance, was very nearlv de posed by his partv from Iris position as chairman of the Finance Committee of the Democratfc Senate, and the chief candidate of his part' in Indiana is an inflationist. Mr. Bayard in speaking in a Southern State carries' coals to Newcastle. However the vote of South Carolina may be cast.it will be counted for Hancock, and Mr. Bayard could spare his labor. Let him come to New York, and show why the ascendency of the South secured by such means would be a blessing to the country. He need not waste time in deploring what is called sectionalism. Either the North or the South, that is to say, the political views, spirit, and character known by those names, will prevail in the election. Mr. Bayard is for the South. It is waste of time for him to talk to Southerners who stuff ballot boxes about a "fraudulent" President; let hfm show to the peopTe of New York why tho section which stuffs ballot-boxes ought to control the Union. Vermont and Arkansas voted on the same day. The Democrats in Arkansas have suppressed the Republican vote. Southern Democratic speakers spoke at their will in Vermont Let Mr. Bay ard show the people of New York why Arkansas is a preferable model of a po litical community to Vermont. It is because the people of the coun try, uninfluenced hy any immediate or specific question, are quietly reflecting upon tho general significance and ten dency of tue two sections that even' day is felt to increase the probability of General Garfield's election. There has been no such change for the worse in public affairs and the condition of the country during the last four years that the party which was then consti tutionally intrusted with the adminis tration of the government should be now discarded. If it was thought worthy to control the government then, it is worthy now. The Democrats' reproach it with abuses, which, howev er, it has done very much to correct, and which Democratic ascendency would but confirm and extend. Thus if Republican committees, which the Administration can not control, assess the clerks in the public offices, the Re publican Administration protects their perfect freedom of action. But there is not an officer or a clerk whom Dem ocratic local authorities control who is not assessed, and forced to pay without remedy. It is a monstrous wrong. But it is one which r as Democrats inflict, they can not denounce, and which by no possibility would they remedy. Those who desire reform of any Ad ministrative abuse have seen as yet no reason to suppose that it would be more probable should the power known as the South elect its candidate. Indeed, there has been at no time any argu ment for Democratic success which could be stated except the vague and familiar desirability of "change." But change which brings danger and dis turbance and apprehension, change wlrich involves no prospect of any defi nite Improvement whatever, change which is merely going backward, is not a change which intelligent and patriot ic Americans desire. The XewTorfc Tribune printed the following dispatch from Batavia, O.: Congressman J. S. Blackburn, of Kentucky, said in his speech here on the evening of the 20th inst.: "Let the Eadicals cease their brawl about a solid South - she is solid, thank God. She was solid for Jeff Davis in 1SC0, and we will be solid for Hancock in ISS0" These words were penciled down in a moment, and are given with accuracy. Some, but not all of our Democrats applauded.

Zfeics, has an account of what it calls "an amusing affair" at Abbeville Court House, that State, the story thus reading: "The Republican County Convention met here yesterday at 1 1 o'clock. Bus iness w.ts suspended, and everybody turned out to hear what the Rads would say. Only two members of the convention were white, Tolbert and Keller. When Tolbert rose to address the meeting everywhere was confusion. Our boys cried. Take him down! Black him I Make him kiss Ab Titus!' Amid the .confusion and excitement Col. Cothran appeared and attempted to persuade the boys to retire, and al low them to go on with the meeting. The boys did not go worth a cent. Col. Cothran was enthusiastically called for by the whites. He mounted the ros trum and delivered a short and mean ing speech. He told the Rads this is our country, and it shall remain ours." It seems that otir genial little friend who runs the Brownville Granger is so full of conceit since he was allowed to shake hands with Wade Hampton at Cincinnati, that he thinks no one else has anv sense but himself. He is pe culiarly susceptible to the influence of flattery. Dr. Miller of the Omaha Herald discovered this and being a master in the art, flattered Moore into the idea that he was a rip-snorter- tliat what he tlidn C know about run ning country newspapers was not worth learning. Moore thought the Doctor in earnest and tumbled to tho racket at once.
