Hence ft fs worth while to examine just what points were made by the party oracles. 1. Mr. Tilden’s point, though not made audible even to those renrest to him, was “fraud.” ‘Phils has been his only point dur ing the past threeand a lnlf years. But he faited to make a complete exposition of this golitary:and hackneyed theme. There are two elements in the obsolete “fraud” issue, while ‘Tilden only touched upon one ofthem. © Hoecharged upon the Republican party tho responsibility for the “intrusion” futo the Presidential chair of “aman who was notelected,” but he utterly neglected ta refer to the futile effort made by hhnselé and tho Democratic managers to” “intrude” Samuel J. 'Tlden into an ofice to whiely he was not eleeted by means of cipher dis- patehes, bribery, and other corrupt and frandulent expedients that have sinee been fully exposed. Thero was another feature of tho enso which ‘Tiklen omitted—viz.: ff thore was any fraud in excluding him from tho Presidency, the Democratte party elftn- Inated it from tho present campalgn when It refused io make him its standard-bearer, Perhaps ‘Lilden’s charnetorlstic modesty, and perhaps Ively appreciation of the power that has been promised him under a hypo- thetical Hancoek Adhnimstration, prompted him to refrain in his speech from this ob- ylous disposat of the’ fraud Issue.” 2, Speaker Randall was pushed to, the front ng chief orator of the day. One of his first points way stated In the following Innguage: “Tt was the Democratic party, ng ropresént- ed in the House of Representatives, which minde the first successful struggle sinee the close of the War in favor of retrenchinent of the public expenses and against tho raising of any revenue except what was netually re- quired to pay the requirements of tho public rreeds,”* Without commenting on the awkwardness of the phrasing, it may be curtly std thatthe statement Is‘nbsulutely untiue, and that Spenker Randall must have known tt to bo untrue. ‘The fuels in regnrd to thls common elalm. among Democratic politicians have been recently set forth In detail In Tne Ci cago Trmenr, For the purpose of refuting ‘Mr, Randall's statement it iy only necessary now to suy that the Republicans, when In control of both Iouses of Congress, reduced tho annual bidet from $202,177,188 bn 1870~ "71, to S888 .450,707 In 1675-17), the Inst fiscal year which they controlled. The Democrats began ‘thelr approprintions with §238,- 600,008 In 1870-'77, by starving out certain branehesof theGovernment,but ran them upto ‘$201,129,888 for the fiscal year 1880-'81, or $33,- 000,000 more than the last year of Republican dlrection in Congress, and nbout the samo figure us ten years before, when there were still extraordinary expenses growlng out of the War, the lighest rate of interest on Government bonds, snd the depreciated con- dition of the currency, «An estimate which has been previously worked out in these columns shows that, Instead of making any saying turing tho term of Democratic con- trol in Congress, that party has dictated ex- penditures for the next fiscal year which are really (slowing for the appreciation in the value of the currency and tho reduetion in the interest-charge) about '§50,000,000 more than the Republicans authorized ten years ngo. It ts foolish forn publle man like My, Randall to make misstatements that are so easily exposed.” 3, Randall ctatined that the Democratte party “made easy the stralght path to a resump- tion of apecle-payments.” ‘This ts the very subliinity of impertinonce, Every measure that led up to resumption was matured under Jtepublican ausplees, and curried out in the faco of the most violent und wireasoning op- position onthe partof the Democrnts, All tho evidences of this fret are of too recont auto to admit of controversy, and Gon, Ewlng, who spokeat the samo theating, could have elted them to tha satisfactlon of every hearer If he hud been disposed to do so, for Ie was the leader of the Democratic House whieh once repented the Resumption law that n Republican Congress had passed and n Republican Sennte saved a second thine tothe Inestiinable and lasting advantage of the country, 4. Randall endeavored to show that no danger Is to bo apprehended from Demo- eratiy supremacy beennso, foracath, tho Deniocratie Mowe of Representatives © al- lowed Mr, Hayes to be proclaimed Prosi- dont"! ‘Lhe inference from this statement of the case fs, that the Demoerntio party has some sort of Syhorent or vested right to ree sist the Inauguration of any President whiont Ithas not supported, and that it displays a spectal virtue In refrajning trom rebeliton and warfaro at any thine when ft is tempted toralsen row, Where did the Democratic power acquire this peculiar right to rovolt agalnst any condition of things not pleasing to it? Was it In the Rebellion of 1801? Would Sam Randall haya the people con- elude that ono Democratlo rebelllod Is a standing precedent for future Democratle rebelligna, dn spite of the foct that tho Dewocratio’ Mebels were whivved Into aulmission ? Must the peaceful citizens of tho Republic feel that they are constantly at the merey of tho Democrats and owe them a speeinl debt of gratitude when- ever they. gractously restrain themselves from precipitating anothor war? If the attl- tudo of the Democratic party toward peace and order be sueh as Sam Randall (ntimated, then It is the best proof of the danger to be apprehended from Democratic supremacy that lins yet been cited. 6, The chief potut nado by Gen. Ewing in tls speech was that “tho accounts of tho Governinent ought to be scanned ag a more business proposition.” "Who has lookerl at the books?" ha asked. The reply fs, that, if : the Demoernts haveany reason to suspect that tho Government accounts have been falsified and have not looked at the books, thon thoy havo failed In thelr duty and betrayed a pub- Me trust. There has been no me within the Inst slx years when the Democrats hays not lind absolute authority to overhaul the Gov- ermment accounts, summon aud swear wit- nesses, compel the production of books and pavers, and otherwise proceed to make the most thorough and searching {nves- tigation, All this Hes within the seope of either House of Congress, and tho Demo- crats have been itt contro! of the Lower House during tho lust three Colizresses, and arenow Incontrol of both Houses, As ‘a mutter of fact, stich investigations have been instl- tuted by both Honses under Democratic con- trol, and thoy have resulted in complete refutation of the various charges implying concealment and fraud In the Governmental accounts, ‘The supporters of these charges havo been Hterally “laughed out of court”? when they came to make up thelr cases after investigation by Democratic committees, Nobody knows this better than ‘Tom Ewing, For tho reat, it is folly to supposo that frauds eould be concented in the presence of thou- sands of clerks, many of whom came down from Democratic Administration, and under the present Cabinet, which certulniy could not assume any thefts that had been com- anitted under provlous Adininistrations, We have endeavored to restate the main ar- guments advanced by the principal speakersat the New York Democratle ratlfieation mett- Ing, and we submit to tho intelligence of the public whether thoy are sufticient to warrant the experiment of taking the Government out of tho hnids of the party that saved It from destruction and intrusting It to the keeping of the “Solid South” and ‘Tammany Hall, THE BRITISH DEFEAT IN AFGHANISTAN. Thecrushing defeat of the English forces In Southern Afghanistan, near Candahar, by the Afghans under Ayoob Khan, one of the aspirants to tho throne, not only | again throws affairs in that distracted country into confusion just when they appenred to be settled, temporarily at least, but 1s alsoa severe blow at tho Liveral Ministry in En- gland, which las just seated the new Ameer, Abddurrahman, and was about to retire tho English troops, belivving that nll the con- ilicting luterests were pacified, leaving native garrisons tohold tho southern part whilo Abdurrahinan would yok after the northern part. ‘The blow Isa harder one than that at Cabal, for in the latter case It was only Maj. Cavagnari nut) his Embassy that were massrered, while In the Candahar disaster an integral portion of- the En- glish army was nearly annililated.. ‘Tho brigade of Gen, Burrows, which suifered this disaster, seems to huve been on the way to codperate with Shere All of Candahar, who was serlously threatencd by Ayoob Khan, ong of the protonders to tio throne from Herat, Shere All's native Infantry proved treacherous and abandoned him, joining Ayoob's forces, compelling Gen. Burrows to make a retrogradomuvement, While making .this movement Ayoob Kian attacked him with alargely superlor force and ‘stuashed hisarmy into fragments, Anuothor report says aAyoob Khan crossed tho Tetmund River on tho 24) fnut, and surprised Gen, Burrows, whose forces were oricnmped on the left bank of that strenm, opposit Girishk, Owing tu the roe cent dry weather the Helmund is everywhere fordadlo, and this fuct probably, fucilltnted the irprise, wygulnst which it would appear Gen. rows bad taken insuillefent precaution, But, whatever was the exatt mode of the defent—by falr fighting or surprise,—the fact remains that the British colinun was smashed all to pieces, and the unliled frag- ments sent totho rearas feelug fugitives, ‘The bulk of the British fores appears to have been India natives, the white troops consist Ing of ong; reghnent, one battery, and a squadron of cavalry. . Atdoes not follow of necessity that this de- B feat will disturb tho position of Abdurrali- | man, unless the native tribes should take courage from Ayoob’s success and ralsethe standard of revolt, As tho condition of tal- ing the throne he has promised to have no relations with other foreign Powers, and of. course will have tho firm support of En- gland. Besides this, ho has proved himself to bo a man of more than ordihary executive ability, and o hard and skillful tighter, hay- ing vanquished Shere All over and over agnin, as well as his son, Yukoob Khan, Ie was tho most available of all tho aspirants to tho throne, and the most legithnate os well, boing the oldest Nneal descendant of Dost Mahomed, and, having placed him upon the throne ns Ameer of Cabul, the Sritish will Unquestlonably support hive with all: their power, But m Southern Afghanistan tho ense is different, Ayoob Khan's sucecss will be likely to rally the South Afghan tribes around him by thousands, while Abdurrah- man himselé will bo fortunate If he does Hot find the Nil tribes In speedy revolt. Another Afghun war ts on tho table, and justatnthnoe when st scomed as If the Lib oral Ministry had ‘settled tho troublesome Jegncy foft thom ‘in that country by the ‘Torles, and restored conilicting Interests to order, ‘Phe entire question Is now reopened, Reinforcements must bo sent from India, for no reliance ean bo placed upon native Afghan troops in such an entergency as this, and it 1s intimated that troops may oven havo to bo sent fram England.

BEBUKING LOYALTY, Y Thore are some Republicans who think Gon. Hancock is better than his party. Even Order No. 40 failed to entirely dispel that Musion, But the Glover letter settics the ‘question, ‘hint letter sholvs not shuply that Hancock ts ns bad as his party, but that hoe is ng bad as the worst wing of 1t,—-tho South- erm wing. Ho realized exactly why the Southern Brigndicrs wanted to make hin President In 1863, He says: “Mad I been made the Presidential nominee | should have considered ita tribute not to me, btit to the principles whfeh I nad proclalmed and practiced.” Procinlined how? In Order No. 40. Practived where? In Now Orleans during his brief term of service as Military Governor. What were those principles of which Hancock was so proud in 1803? Simply the declaration In Order No, 40, ain plat vlolatton of the law of Congress ander which Ite (Tlaneock) was acting, that tha State Government of Louisiana was o legal Government. Congress sald {t was not, and turned Its territory Into a military dis- trict, Ifanecock went there. as Governor under tho luw of Congress and at once pro- elnimed the legality of the old Rebel courts and State Government, Mow did he “prac- tlee” tho principles he’ proclaimed? By nullifying the enselments of Congress and sustaining the'acts of Rebels, This was his title to the favor of the Southarn wink of the Demovratic party, Defented for the Prest- dential nomination, he either Ircked the wit to keep silenco or he was anxious to put himself on record ns in necord with the South: ern, ruling wing of the Democratic party, the Brigndiers. Hence the Glover letter,which leaves no room tor dtonbt that Gen, Winfleld Scott Hancock is ns little worthy to be trust- ed at the head of the Government of the Na- stion a3 Wade Mampton, Hamburg Butler, L. Q.¢, Lamar, or Ben Hill, Te wanted to be President, not to satisfy a personal sinbition, butto enforce tho principles he had pro- claimed and enforced in Louisiana in 186: Ile wanted to “rebuke thd spirit of revolu- tion which had fuvaded ovory: sacred preciuct of liberty.” Indeed! You wanted torebuke Congress for its reconstruction Inws, did you, Gen, Hancock? You wanted to rebuke the people for ratlfying the amendments to the Constitution, did you, Gen. Hancock? You wanted to rebuko the masses of tho Joyal people of the North ng revolutionists beeausa they insisted upon preserving the Na- tion they had saved, did you, Gen. Mancock? You wanted to rebuke the Jaw-naking department of the Government. for attempting to restraln and punish murs derers, did you, Gen, Mancoek? Your pro- gram was to change the scenes,—make Reb- els tnke tho place of patriots, and patriots step Into the place of Rebels, It were better that you had neyer been born, Gen, Hancock, than that you should have slgued your name to.the Glover letter, It unmasks you so thoroughly that tho wayfaring man, thougli a fool, esnnot fail to decipher your political character. It is just as good ng that of the worst wing of the Democratle party, and no better, It fins tho tiint of tho old Demo- eratle devotion to sinvery ideas and State- rights Ideas. It partukes strongly of that Bourbon stupidity which learns noth- ing and forgets nothing, Reflections on the folly of lettor-wrlting are in pinee here, It might have been said that Order-No. 40 was the work of Andrew Johnson, and that that ifsguided mon inspired and directed Uancock’s courso In New Orleans in 1807. But the Glover letter was the voluntary act of Hancock himself, + Perhaps Jere Black wrote ft, but we know that Hancock signed it, Its purpose was to make its authorsolld with the South In thenext race—1873, | It did not bear fruit til this year, but now the coy- oted nomination has been recelved, The first harvest of the remarkablo letter lins veen gythored, Byt there is the letter placed high before the critical gaze of the American people, Of tils eritical exaunna- tion and analysis, what will tho harvest be ? Clearly not. a hurvest of votes from the great conservative vlass ot Northern cltizons, who . doubt the propricty of Intrusting the Dem- ocratle party with power, For this letter proclaims Hancock to be the representative of the dangerous political opluions hold by tho Southern Brigadiors. Hancock wants to rebuke the splrit of revolution, docs he? Thore is asplrit ubroad In the Northorn section of this land which will rebuke tho man who-talks iippantly of rebuking the men who saved tho Nation, and who will preserve it from Demoerntle vandalism, Mark that! THE ‘WHEAT SUPPLY AND DEMAND FOR Tho season hos ndyanced for enough to warrant at least somo approxhnate estimate of the production of wheat in the United States in 1880, and tha probable demand for our surplus, The aggregate production of wheat In 1870 was estimated at 448,000,000" bushels, and, looking back to our tables of Inst January, wo find that Tus ‘Timex then estimated a surplus for export of 190,- 000,000 bushels,’ ‘The table of expgrts pub- lished July 18, 1880, shows that the actual ox- ports of wheat and flour for the year ending Juno 80, 1850, wore, of whent, 140,130,2! bushels, aud of four 5,787,007 barrels; ree duelng tho flour to bushels of wheat, tho total exports for tha twelve months were About 178,000,000 bushels of wheat, Tho Now York Herald publishes a survey, of the condition of the wheat crops in Europe, go far as tho sane may bo judged by’ the state of the weathor, ‘The want of sun- shine which was so {atal to the crops In the British Islands hy 1870 provaila this season, and thera wag but Ittloexpectation of such an Improvement ag would gssuro full crops, but the yleld will undoubtedly consid erably. exceed that of Inst senson, ‘Tho intelligence from the Continent {8 no more cneouraglug than lust season— that from Russia. belng worse, Upon the whole, the Indications are that, while there may be no. such want as took the form of partiqt famitio in Ireland Inst year, the dee" ficlotey of the European production in, quantity ag well as quality will call for Httle Jess of the American wheat surplus of 1880 than was peated In 1879, Of this there cau be hardly any question.

Nebraskn, on account of drought, will produce: perhaps 25. per cent less than in 187%, ‘There ling been somo Inercase in derenge, bit the yleld:per acre Will be much lighter by. reason of tho drought, and the falling off In Kansas will bo duo to the same cause, ‘ ‘The Stntes on the seaboard have’ had gen- erally bad‘whent crops, because of the long drought from April to July. ‘The wheat in nll the region enst of the Adleghentes will, on the whole, be less than usual, perhaps to tho extent of 15 to 25 por cent, and-this, tao, means that the Enst will want more Western wheat for home consumption. ‘The old crop $s pretty much all sold and has gone forward. Tho stocks on hand held {n Great Britain, France, and Germany may be snid to bo exhausted, buyers have held off for lower prices, and sales have been for immediate consumption only. The wheat crop in the States lying between the Alleghentes and the Misaourl River Is generally good, both as to quantity and quality, and as a whole will exceed that of 1879. But, while ft Is too-soon yet to venture upon any figures as to tho results in. States, it may be safely estimated that, while the erop may aggregate that of 1879 in the whole country, the total production of wheat will not seriously exeved it. Thus, while wo may produce as much, our surplus for ex- port will not equal that of 1871, and we may, in consequence of our Increased consump tion, havo less to sell to mect n foreign de- mand which will equal thatof last year, — ‘Tarn population of Illinois wilt not much exceed 4,100,000, which {s consitlorably less made, ‘Tho Ohio papers think that State will show up about 8,200,000; if so, the Buckeye Stato will hold the third placa for ton years longer.
