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.

"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.

Since the Democratic party "captured
the capital." as they are fond of ex
presssing it, they have removed from
office seventy-six ex-Union soldiers,
more than two-thirds of whom were
wounded; and have appointed eigltty
eight men to office who were in the
Confederate army
during the war.
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.

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.

And old Granny Tipton! May the
Lawd have mercy upon us!
A sort of contest might be arranged

Congressman Valentine is liighly
complimented for his North Bend
speech. Several Nebraska people have

gressman Valentine is not only a work
er but a speaker,

lead, was fighting for the same princi
ples that Lee and Jackson fought for,
and for which the Southern soldiere

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.
BaUCQOK'S GEEAT SPEECH.
To the IT. T. Shippers.
The greatest warrior and statesman
on earth being waited upon by some
New York commercial men, arose, to
his full height, ancF pealed forth the
following gobs of eloquence?
Gentlemen:
Jam highly honored in being waited
upon to-day by the representatives of
the various branches of the shipping
interest.
I am very glad to receive this paper
which you now present to me.
Jam very much pleased at your visit,
if only because it has showir to mo
tho details of an organization that
J was not personally familiar with.
J will not be able to say much to-day, as
J have a cold and am very hoarse.
J was fearful yesterday that
J avouUI not be able to meet this dele-
mition to-dav in conseuuence of in
disposition.
J am very glad that
J have been able to meet you.
The greatest warrior, statesman etc..
then "blowed" Ins nose and sat down.
Mr. ITasby has Heard From Maine.
GUVNEIl'S Il,AXI,
(Wicli is in the State uv Noo York,)
September 15, 1SS0.
Gineral Hancock and mo heerd uv
Mane this mornin. Wo rejoiced.
Gineral Stinger, uv Mississippi, who
served under Leo from the time that
grate man took command uv the Con
fedrit forces to tho final surrender at
Appomattox, wuz affected toteers.
"Thank God." sed he, "for Mane
The kentry is safe. Mane stands up
for Yoonyun."
And he and Gineral nancock shook
hands solemnly, and retired to the
next room, which they emerged from,
wipin ther lips.
Patsey O'Shaughnessy, with his voice
trcmblin with emoshun, reinarkt that
Mane bed spoken. He wuz so joyous
over this triumf uv purity, that he sed
he shood throw his bar open to-nite,
and drinks wood be free to- all troo
Dimekrats in his ward. It wuz too
glorious.
I telegraft the glorious nooze to Dee
kfn Poirram at the Corners, and his
anser cum back quick:
"It is too much. Bascom is fllumi
natid, and we hev cleened oat e-eiT
nigger for five miles. The bovs are
still ilt it."
Gineral Hancock took it with the cam
impassivenis of a sol jcr. "The nooze is
glorious," sed he; "We hev Avon the
first skirmish, but not the final battle.
It is time for decisive ackshen, for the
real struggle comes off in November.
Now is our time. Na'sby, git them
Greenback dockyments together, and
shove em throo Mane. Hev me an
nounst in Mane ez in favor uv on-
limited greenbax." .
Whoso bleeves Hancock isnt a states
man don't know very much.
Heimmejitly sent a letter to Noo
Jerse), insistin on a high protective
tariff, and another to Injeany, holdh-
that the prosperity uv the kentry de
mands free trade.
Sence the Mane eleckshun, Hancock
hez woke up, and is displayin remark
able capacity. I now hev faith in him.
Money is comin in good. We hev
$200,000 to yoose in sendin Kentuck
ians to Injeany to vote in October, to
make shoor uv kerryin that State. Uv
coarse, ef we kerrylnjeanv, that settles
it.
The skies is brite. I shel once mor
hev the postoffis at the Corners.

'"An Amusing Affair."
The Charleston (S. C.) 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. He immediately began
to praise rebels and denounce republi
cans, and the more he did this the more
the Herald heaped up the flattery and
now Moore can ring" the changes of the
rotten democracy equal to Miller him
self. In fact, " down right squaretoed
democratic lying" the pnpil will beat
his teacher. Walioo Independent.
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Eailroad Company has lately instituted
a very useful reform. A watchman
has been appointed for even section
of its road, who is" to walk back and
forward on his section during the en
tire night, with a powerful lantern,
and see that the line is unobstructed.
Elastic, springy wheels of the bicycle
pattern can be used very advantage
ously on carriges, it is said. Made of
steel, nickel plated, and with rubber
tire, the cost about vt third more than
the best wooden wheels, but are more
durable and easier for riding.
A letter from LeadviUe-is authority
for the assertion that the place has
seen its best days. Most of the prom
inent mines are closed, and those still
working have a very small force. A
general dullness prevails over the sur
rounding country.
It is estimated that the apple crop
this year will amount to two hundred
millions of barrels, but thousands of
these will rot in the orchards. It seems
a great pity that so much of this fruit
must be thus wasted in the year of
plenty. i
