The Democratic feaders who havesought to make use of the.document will be punished by tie verdict. of the American people on the 2d of November. - Tre Anglo-Irish lawyers are still busy formulating the: indictment under which it will be songht to procure the conviction of the Trish Lhind-League orators. The instrument is said to be the longest. ost wordy éver framed. It charges sedition, and will be based on extracts from some 200 speeches, and un the testimony of some 85 witnesses. It is evident that the Government lawyers intend to make the trials Inst as long 28 possible, as the fees gencrally depend on the length of the trial The Dublin Freeman's : Journal intimates’. that the editors of the Dublin Nation, of the Wexford People, and of journals fh Tralee, Roscommon.

Grant presided at an immense Re- publican meeting held at Franklin, N:J., yester day, and was enthusiastically received. Ho made a short speech, the sentiments of which seem to have met with the entire approval of his audience. He intimated that the Democrats had no principles that they would ‘hot freely ur- render in order to gét into power. © He referred to Hancock's tariff letter as a proof of his statc- ment,and eafd that {t would be a greatcalamity to allow the Govefnment of the country to fall into tho hands of those who sought to destroy it, an& who would do so now had thoy thé opportunity. Gen. Grant was followed by Emery Storrs and J. Edwards Pierrepont. Tne House-Drainage Committee of the Citizens’ Associntion has been for some time in- vestigating the aewerage system of Chicago, that the defects may be pointed out and remedics suggested. Tho result of their Jabors is given to the public on another page, and consfats of an elaborate résumé of the defects In the sew- erage and house-drainage ystéin of our city, and 8 presentation of what the Committee be- lieve may do away with the dangers arising therefrom. The recommendations, briefly sum- iarized, are (1) to concrete the ground under buildiiigs: @) to ventilate tho main: jewers by per- forated man-holes; (3) to usé cast-irdn soll-pipes for houses; (4) sinks, wash-basins, and bath-tubs tobe rrappod; (6) Sewor-pipes and soll-pipes to be provided with “ rust-jojuts,” Ex-SeNAtor Dorsey, whe did Such effect- ive campaign work in Indiana, has established his heudquurters at Newark, N. J., and proposes 10 make an execedingly lively campaign in that State. There are many manufacturing establish- ments in the State, and the Republican speakers are conducting the campaign on the tariff issue, and are making’ great: inroads into the Democratic franks. Republicans are pretty confident of carrying tho State by at Ieast 5,000 mnjority, and there . is little doubt that they will, also_ carry the Legis- lature. They countwith confidence on having the State Senate by a majority of nine, and the Democrats can hardly overcome. that majority in the House. - Four out of the seven members of Congress are claimed by the Republicans. ‘The tight will be exceedingly bitter in the Sec- ond and Fifth Districts. The chances are in favor of the Republicans. The effect of the victories In Ohio and Indiana has been felt all through the East, and the probability of a solid Republican North grows as the, campaign pro- gresses, ‘ , Mr. Cavanac, Supervisor of Registration for the State of Louisiana, was arrested yester- day and taken before: United States Oom- missioner Lane, of New Orleans, on the chargo of illegally registering voters, Tho Ropublicans contend that thé time for registration has passed, The Democrats would undoubtedly lose the Congressmen from the First and Second Louisiana Districts if the vote {is based on the registration as it now stands. ‘The Democrats seem to know this, and, to have a’ better opportunity. for fraud- ulently * carrying. ‘the districts, they pro- pose to. keép the remstry books open till the 30th inst. Ata meeting of thé Republican Campaign Committee of Louisiana, held Friday night, it was resolved that any Supervisor or Clerk who attempts to register between now and election- day, and any -persons who seck to get regis- tered, shall be arrested. Gov. Wiltz supports Supervisor Cavanac, while the United States District-Attorney for New Orléans holds that wanaé is acting illegally and without warrant. — ee ie appears there are some British journals that regard the speech of King George in open- ing. the Greek Parliament as peaceful rather than warlike, The way by which the British journalists have come to this conclusion may be understood by the line of argument set forth in the cable message. ~The declaration,” saysthe cable man, “ that the army (Greek) will not be disbanded is held to mean it will not be sent across the frontier, ns, if the latter had been tho intention, the King would have said so.” Any conclusion is possible to the logician who is the author of this kind of renson- ing. The british journals ate sorely afraid that- the British nation will get into trouble over thia Greck question. . The strong, not to say enthusiastic, Hellenic sym- pathies of Mr. Gladstone and Sir Charles Dilke, it is feared, may lead them too far. The Liberal journals bave taken to patronizing the Greeks, ndvieing thom to bave patience, ete., etc. The Tory journals sharply criticise Gladstone's pol- fey, and assert that if Turkoy gives up Dulcigno to Montenegro there will be no attempt to co- erce it into rearranging the Greek boundary, ‘Tue Republican Campaign Committee of New York have just completed a canvass of that State, which indicates that the State will beyond question give at Icust 15,000 majority to the Re- publican National ticket. Gen. Arthur, who is one of the shrewdest politicians in the State, thinks that the Republican majority will reach 30,000. ‘The split in the Democracy of New York City over the nomination of Mr. Grace for Mayor, tho utterly. bad local nomina- tions made in Brooklyn, the half- heartedness of Tilden's.friends in support of the Democratic ticket, the disrust of the bet- ter elements of the party at the demonstration of “Boss” Kelly and *Boss" McLaughlin, the straddie-the-fence policy of the Democratic party on the tariff guestion.—all these are hurt- ing the party with its supporters in the Empire State. The Republicans, ou the other hand, are united, their platform isin favor with the peo- ple, their candidates are popular, the business- men and munufacturers of the country are op- Posed to.a change, and there js, in consequence, every reason to belieye that Gen, Arthur's pre- diction of 30,000 majority for the Republican ticket in the Empire State will be fulniled. ON GUARD, REPUBLICANS! Overconfidence has caused the loss of many apolitical battle. Overconfidence on the part of the Republicans of Maine made of the election there in September a drawn battle. It may be very trite to observe that there can be no victory scored until the battle has been waged; but itis important to bear this in mind: It should be remernbered, too, that + Democrats never allow elections to go against them by default. ‘They were “rattled,” so to speak, by the October elections, but they are recovering, and, when their case is called one week from next’ Tuesday, they will respond with all their forces. ‘They are not idle, nor are they neglectful of the peculiar methods by which they have achieved many a victory against the majority of honest voters. The detailed canvass now in progress by Re- publicans in this city discloses a sys- tematic effort on the parf of the De- inocracy to corrupt the registry. A can- vass of ‘six Squares ou one side of a sin- gle street the other day dévéloped the fact that twenty-two Fraudulent names had been offered for registry from that locality. Ap- ply this ratio to the entire territory of the city and the result would be many thousands of fraudulent names injected into the repis- try: These attempts at fraud are being closely watched, and in many cases ate like- ly to be detécted and prevented in advance of the completion of the registry- lists. But they show that Democrats have not given up the contest. That they have ceased to brag, and bluff, and bet, renders them all thé more dangerous. It -Was thé “still hunt” in Maine which startled the country with an ut- terly unlooked-for result. When the Demo- cratic dog: stops barking it {5 only pease he ete ready to bite. It’ was very -. W »for, the jublican’ party to be bitten in thé shank arene in September; for it showed how desperate the Democratic dog was. It stimulated Repub- Jicans everywhere to renewed and more splendid efforts, and the:tide was turned in October. But now the Dentocratic -dég is preparing to spring it te throat .of his ad- vyersary, and, if fé shall succeed in fastening his ugly fangs there, there will be no chance to recover from the. effects of the wound through the plaster of an after-election, The pending election is “for keeps,” and every State that the Democrats can carry by fraud they can hold by fraud, for the Congress is fhe teturhing.board of Jast resort, and the ma- jority of Congress is n body of desperate Democrats. Before the election in Indiana it was common to hear Democrats say, ‘yauntingly and sneeringly: “ If theelecuion is ‘Close we propose to count ourselves in, a8 You did in 1876.” This is the purpose of the Democratic partisan. i It is always dangerous to underestimate thé strength of a political adversary; and it is doubly so when behind that adversary the last ditch yawns ready to receiye the, re- mains of his defeated cohorts. Even now the Democratic party schemes for “fusion” in Indiana with the remnant, 14,000 strong, of the Natioials. ‘To bring about this union ‘every principle will be ruthlesly sacrificed. To consummate the disgraceful bargain Bill English’s barrel will be tapped. No stone will be left unturned to reverse the verdict of October in the Hoosier Staté. . Me is mad who thinks that the Deiiocratic ihanagéers haye surrendered before the great battle, and he is a fool who doubts that they can hold the rank and file of their ragged ariny “upto the scratch.” ? There is need, then, of the utmost viei- lance. There is need of the most perfect at- tainable organization. Thére is no need of a loftier esprit de corps. The Republican party has the courage of its convictions and thé audacity of justice. But there must be that high degree of discipline by the aid of which the wicked often ‘triumph over the good. While Republicans loudly jubilata over the glorious result in Indiana and Ohio, Democrats, * with silent tongue and clenched teéth,” struggle for the mastery by all the appliances of fraud. Let Republicans, then, gird theif Joins for the: fight. There are frauds to be prevented and frauds to be over- come by honest votes, and there:are. but ten days to work. Ten days are not too much time to give to the country, Let victory be organized, and then let it be won,—won grandly. “Every map to his tent, O Israel P? THE LOCAL CAMPAIGN. The ‘most thé Democrats are fighting for now is to save the local offices in such coun- ties as they may hope to carry by hard work, and to elect as many Congressmen as they can. They have really abandoned the ex- pectation of electing their Presidential can- didaté, and only maintain a show of confi- dence in order to strive the more effectively for local advantages. The Democratic man- agers of the Cook County campaign are putting forth more energy. than ever be- fore to elect their county ticket, and are utilizing to the utmost limit the possession of the city oftices and the promise of the county patronage.. The Republicans, confident that Cook County, will go Republican, do not seem to give this fact the consideration it deserves. : Mr. Carter Harrison is managing the local campaign for the Democrats. He happens to be Mayor of this city, made so by Repub- iican votes, In that capacity he has assumed a personal diréction. of the varfous “depart- ments to an extent that has given him great power. It is generally understood in the Police, Fire, Public Works, Street, Water, and other branches of the City Government that tenure ‘of office depends entirely upon Harrison’s favor. Now that peremptory orders have gone forth that every man in the employ of the City Government must regard himself as a blower and striker for the Dem- oeratic ticket'and act accordingly, the de- partment employés generally believe that their ‘places -dépend upon strict obedience tothese mandates. It is said that the Water Office has been used to make up lists of voters, and that every available man in the employ of the city is really acting as acan- vasser for the Democratic party. There is no question but this is an un- scrupulous practice. The people engaged by the city are paid out of the public fund, to which Republicans contribute at least three-fourths, Mayor Harrison cannot justi- fy the prostitiition of’ the city employés to this business, Th fact, he has saia repeated- ly that he would not use his office and abuse dis power in this way. This course may not avail him astauch as he thinks, It is his ambitior to be retlected Mayor of Chicago, He declined the nomi- nation for Congress in thé West Division, possibly because he did not think he could be elected; but ostensibly on the ground that he desired to bea candidate again for Mayor. If thé people of Chicago shall satisfy them- selves that Mr. Harrison as Mayor has made active work in behalf of the Democrats a condition upon which alone the policemen, firemen, and other public officers can retain their places, they will not be disposed to in- trust the powers of the Mayor’s position in his hands for asecond time to be similatly misused. In the meantime, the ‘alleged course of Mayor Harrison in the present campaign, no matter. how unscrupulous, is likely to be effective. It will make votes for the Demo- eratic county ticket. A large amount of personal persuasion, irrespective of Natiotial politics, will thus be brought to bear upon voters. : Every man in the employ of the city has relatives, friends, and acquaintances who nay thus be induced by purely personal con- siderations to vote the Democratic Joeal ticket, though tliey shall vote for Garfield and Arthurand the Republican State ticket. The influence upon the result ‘of the Cook Couiity election exérted. by the Haitigon tactics is likely to be so important that it ought to be counteracted. It can only be neutralized by equally energetic work on the Republican side. Individual effort in behalf of the Democrats must be met by individual effort in behalf of the Republicans, ~ ~ YESTERDAY'S INDUSTRIAL DEMONSTRA- ON. ION. The procéssion of the Industrial League yesterday afternoon was all that had been promised for it, and more. Itcan scarcely fail to make a decided impression upon the voting masses. It was a turnout of ‘the workingmen. Its extent and the character of. thé meh who rode and matched in line left no doubt that the people who are now earning a good living by honest work are opposed to any political change at this tine in the currency or tariff which shall threat- en the laws and policy that have’secured for them their present advantages. It is espe cially significant that so many thousands of mén and so many hundreds of horses and wagons should be taken from work at this busy season, and be devoted to an anti-change™ demonstration during the busiiiess hours of the day. This “fact means that both the em- ployers and the employés are persuaded that thelr interests ‘demand a steadfast adherence to the existing systems of finance, revenue, and tariff, and that they are willing to make a material “sacrifice in order to impress this conviction upon the public. The enthusiastic crowds that lined the streets to watch the pro- cession and to chéer those who participated in it proved also that the purposé was recog- nized and appreciated: ‘Yesterday -morning, as a fitting introdic- ton to the industrial demonstration iii behalf of the Republican party and its” policy, THE ‘TRIBUNE printéd the maniifacturing statistics of Cook County which have been made up for the census of. 1680. These statistics show that - there. are 8,753 manufacturing establishments in this county (all except 69 being located within the city limits, and those really belonging to Chicago), which have more than $80,000,000 invested, employ 113,000 hands, pay out. $37,615,381 in wages, use up more than $180,000,000 worth of material, and turn out products which “ngeregate $253,405,C05 in value during the year. Yesterday’s procession was a fair representation of these vast interests. ‘The capital and the labor were: alike ‘represented, and thé combination showed that both employers and employés. feel their interests to be identical so far as the National policy affects them.. It was not a demonstra- tion in favor of. Protection alone; it wasa monster protest against ‘the threatened change in: tariff, in revenue, in finance, In; ‘the business management of the public serv- ice, and in all that affects commerce and in- dustry. It is this change which the Demo- crats have been urging upon the American people. It is this change which the people dread. The éapitalists do not want it. The inanufacturers do not want it, The mer- Shants do not Wantit. Yesterday’s demon- stration proved in an emphatic way that the mechanics and laboring-men do not want it. This was the rea] méaning of the demonstra-. tion, and Its great success cannot fail to exert -a decided influence upon thinking men in all walks of life. Prosperity isa common boon of which all men partake in various degrées, ‘and the people are in no humor to experi- ment or trifle with it, —————— DO ONCE, DO AGAIN. Certain partisan “ business-men,” office- holders, and office-seekers of this city have piit forth a manifesto contending that “it is an insult to the common sense of the busi- hess class” to assume that- any political, change of men or measures candamago the present good times, of be dangerous to our futuie prosperity, Their argument is, ‘tha the Democratic party has not heretofore and will not hereafter advocate or enact any bad fiscal measures, But these red-hot ‘Democratic partisans do not claim that their party has reformed its principles ot changed its instincts. It is a perfectly fair inference that what it has done in the past it will do again. Letus consider its recent record. For nearly ten years the Democratic party has been the per- sistent enemy of honest money and the pub- Jie faith. Its opposition began in 1863 with a nearly unanimous vote in Congress against making the greenback a Iegal-tender, Seven - years later, when the act to strengthen the public credit was ‘passed, there was in both Houses of Congress only one Democrat who yoted in its favor. All the others voted againstit. In 1870 they appear again, solid, with a single exception, against the Funding act. On the question of resumption their record is a part of the same disgraceful his- tory., We give beloiy the official vote on all thesé questions. It is of itself a conclusive argument against a “change,” for no man can vofe to put tho financial affairs of the country in the control of a party which made this record unless he wishes for a financial revolution: LEGAL-TENDER ACi~VOrE MAKING THE GREES- BACK A LEGAL-TENDER.

It could not, and the Union War would have ended in disastrous failure, and the Na- tion would havé been destroyed. ‘The Vote of the Democrats against the act to strengthen the public credit shows that the¥ were repudiationisis,. and sought to weaken and destroy the public credit. ‘The vote of the Democrats in Congress against the Funding bill, which provided for selling bonds bearing a low rate of interest to take up bonds béaring a high fate of interest, is utterly inexcusable, and simply proves that they were full of Copperhead malignity against the National Government and its credit. _The vote of the Democrats against the Re- sumption bill, and thelr persistent efforts to fepeal it ii 1876, 1877, and 1879, exhibit them 4s worse than malicious. It proves that they were incompetent to deal with such a ques- tion, and had no care for or comprehension of the beneficent results that would flow from specié-resumption, Every ¢alm-minded, re- flecting than must.say fliat it is not safe to intrust such party with the public credit, the business interests, or the currency of the country. It.is justas easy fora blundering or malicious party to inflict incalculable mis- ebief upon the “business interests of the country by its legisiation as it is fora blun- dering engineer or malicious switchman to work ruin upon a train on a railroad-track. ,, GEN. Haxcock wrote to Col. Blantoii Du ‘cami on the 1st of November, 1879: “If lwere nominatéd by a party I would be governed byits platform, or I would not accept the nomination.” In his letter of acceptance, Gen. Hancock wrote this: “The principles enunciated by the Convention are those I have cherished i thé pust and shall en- deavor to maintain in .the future,”—aud among them thé principle. of “a tariff for revenue only.”- There.was no exception, no qualification; no ‘reservation. The platform on which Gen. Hancock stands declates for “a tariff for-revyenue: only.” The’ platform ‘fixes thé position o£ thé candidate. Here is the whole case in its first part: First, the platform for a ‘tariff for revenue only”; second, his acceptance of its principles; ‘third, his declaration that he would be gov- erned by the platform, But what does this mean: Hancock holds an interview with the Paterson (N. J.) Guardfan, and says that, the tariff is a “local issue 2! that it was “brought up once in his “native town in Pennsylvania”; and that it is a matter with which “the General .Government seldom cares to interfere,"—as if it were a petty question to be determined by a town meeting! What marvelous statesman- ship! What intelligent comprehension of the magnitude and character of the problem! But this is notall. He next writes a letter ‘to Senator ‘Randolph, of New Jersey, in which he says: “It is all folly to talk about free trade; that it will be necessary to raise money for administration ‘as jong as human nature lasts.” Haneock doesn’t seem to -have the slizhtest comprehension of the first elements of the tariff question-or the re- motest conception of the distinction between a protective tariff, which, levies its duties upon articles that come into competition ‘with American. manufactures, and a tariff for revenue -only, which taxes articies that. ‘we do not produce. He doesn’t understand that to raise fifty millions on tea; coffee, Sugar, spices, drugs, and wines is revenue without protection, and to raise fifty millions from iron, steel, machinery, svoolens, cottons, ° leather. lumber, ete., revenue. . And this fat sabreur, without civil experience, who doesn’t even comprehend what the tariff question involves, is ptit for- ward as a fit man to be the custodian of our great National interests! BISMARCK’S NEW PROJECT. The European papers are calling attention to a new project of Bismarck’s which is ostensibly devoted to the improv ement of the condition of workingmen, dnd aré discussing it with much fervor, as it is somewhat Socialistic in character, or at leust is in- ‘tended to appease that daigerous class and bring them into more peaceable relations with the Government. Any class of the people that makes it unsafe for him or for the Emperor to walk abroad is a very danger- ous obstacle to the working of his plans, and if he can find a remedy through official ‘action that savors of benefit to’ them he will accomplish mora by it than by all the force which he can employ. The Uondon Spectator gives, from what if consiaers good authority, tho details of his plan. . It isto revive tho guilds, authorizing each trade to Torii itself into a close society, with its own legalized tules of admissioi, and to accumulate by minute but compulsory payments a large corporate insurance fund; this fund being guarauteed and assisted by the State, which in return, of course, will obtain considerable control over the guilds, since its withdrawal atany time would break down their pros- perity. In this action there is nothing alarm- ing, since the Government would only guar- antee to workmen’s savings the same protec- tlon that is given to many other forms of property. The Spectator, however, conceives that Bismarck may go farther than this even, and gives utterance to its fears, as follows: ot Prince Bismarck stop there? He is a bold man, accustomed’ to large measures, aadirark, through his military experience, that it ts possible to organize successfully very largo masses of men, and {naced the whole population Of aStute. He cannot but know that hisscheme, if limited as we have indicated, will not remove the great sourees of unrest among waxe-receiy- ers, the chance of dismissal. and the dependence upoh Individual capitalists who need large profit in compensation for their risks; ho hus studied idens far in ‘advance of “ insuratice,” and he may have the nerve to go one step farther, hich may not look to him as far-reaching a3 it is. Suppose the State should leud, even at 6 per cent, capital to the guilds, to assist them to be- come themselves the great employers, to work their businesses in the way In which the munici- pality of Paris works the entire business per- Yormed in other cities by undertakers, ‘That is not a very wide extension of the idea of a State- governed guild, it would just iit in with some sentences attributed to the Prince’about indus- ‘trial advances from the State, and it would uo- doubtediy secure the Chancellor's {mmediate end,—n great amelioration in the feeling of tho, Ware-roceiving oluss, and especially of the 600,-" 000 Soctalist voters, towards the State. Should this be the outcome of Bismarck’s ideas, there is no question that it would work ulmost irreparable migchiet in destroying enpital and dis tirbing and unsettiing labor, besides arousing.2 demand ‘all over Europe among workinginen for the inauguration of similar schemes in their own countries. . It would be a long step towards the realization of the dangerous ideas of. the Socialists. There is nothing yet to indicate that he is prepared to go that far, or that he has in contemplation anything more dangerous than the establishment of compulsory insur- ance: but the man who could sacrifice the Falck Iaws.to sequie the support of the Ultra- montanes .may be prepared to sacrifice his policy with regard to Socialism to secure the yotes of workingmen. It.vould-be-a great gain if hecould secure personal safety for the meinbers of the Government, and if he could appease the. working:nen, who stand in his way more than any other class, and it would be a still greater gain if he could | check emigration, which is threatening the | industrial 3 well as the military power of Germany. To accomplish such ends and se- cure the voting support of the workingmen he may risk even concessions to Socialists, for he has made them before, and only de- serted them when he could obtain 2 majority elsewhere. A short time, however, will de- yelop the real character of his plans, when his bill comes up for discussion in Parlia- ment. The discussion, however, will not be confined to that body. It will be sure to arouse discussion all over Europe, and may lead, If pushed too far, to very ‘serious trouble, DISUNITED IRISHMEN. The people of Ireland present the strange spectacle of a division among themselves upon & question that intimately concerns their well-being and prosperity, and ini an emergency which has called out the sympa- thy of the whole world. For years the peasantry of Ireland have been ground down by the [landlord class. Their property has been taken-from them. They ‘havé been evicted from their homes. They .have more than once been reduced to starvation, and have had to call upon the world to help them. ‘They have been robbed of their earnings, and stripped of lands that rightly belong to thé, Whenever they have protested, they have been put down by force. Since the ad- vent of the Liberal Government to power they have made some progress towards a mitigation of their sufferings, and have suc- ceeded in raising a sentiment in their favor so strong that there has been a. possibility of obtaining legislation tending to improve their condition. and help thém out. of their troubles in 8 measurable degree. At this timé, howéver, when a determined union of the Irish-people and a hearty sup- port of their leaders mizht be of some avail, in the sécuring of some of theif rights at least, an intestinal quarrel has: broken out, and the Orangemen .are arraying themselves iipon the side of the landlords, and opposing the land agitators with even -more bitterness than the latter. In somé, sections they are threatening to use force. In others they have passed the most violent resolutions. ‘Their newspapers are -even more bitter than. the landlords’ organs. The Derry Sentinel, for instance, says: “ Atall events, so far as Ulster is concerned, she will not shirk her duty} and it will be well for‘our rulers to re-. mémber ere too. late that if they leavé the Joyal and well-lisposed people of Ireland mieli longer to the meréy of deinigogs and assasins, and the present, reign of terror is allowed to-continue, the men of, the North may be again compelled to seek stronger remedies for the’ protection of their lives, |" property, and liberties.” To this remarka- is protection with | bie statement one of the land-reform papers aptly replies: snp fice dure of this kind js, bo doubt, considers vy ie ‘Sentinel and its reas ie to be well enicu- uted to strike terror into the: “demazoys,”” but it oveurs to us that it would be more likely to roduce.that effect if language of the same ind had not been heard often before without anything Having come of it. Who docs not recollect ‘the thrents of rebellion that were uttered in the North ut the period of Disestab- lishment, and who does not know that those threats were Deron fieliec shou Ae a ‘ency #rose in which they were to qoode Why: we want to Lnow, did not the Sereeiren of Ulster ‘kick the Queen's crown into the Boyne,” as the, ag lee to do when the Church was touch jyhe general opinion, after all, we are afraid, will ‘be that the Orange bravado resembles more the martial fre of Bob Acres than it does anything else. ‘Thesé demonstrations in the Orange sec- tions of Ircland are simply intended to noti- fy Mr, Parnell and other leaders who are working for thé emancipation of thé Irish from the grinding tyranny of the landlords that they must cease. It isa strange specta-. cle. It is a strange and almost revolting revelation of the blind, savage religious ani- mosity between Orangemen and Catholics, which, even in the midst of common landlord persecution and misery, with the victims of greed and rapacity all about them, will not allow any sympathy with 2 movement that is intended to give the people, irrespect- ive of creed, a chance to live, to wrest the country out of the grasp of the vampires who are blood-sucking it to death, stripping the people of their production, and period- icatly bringing them to actual’ starvation. Rather than help to rescue Ireland from this horrible condition, these Orange fanatics urge the Northmen tinto a coalition with the landlords ‘who are robbing them. Rather than unite with the followers of other re- ligious faiths, they prefer to endure this horrible imposition and to let persecution continue, when by a hearty and united effort they could shake it off and rescue the island from the grasp of the octopus.’ Such blind malice is almost inypossible to conceive, and. it ig all the more pitiable because it helps to put farther off the prospect of Ireland’s re- lease from poverty, beggary, and wretched- ness, Tue bogus letter on the Chinese-labor ques- tion attributed to Gen. Garfield was very. ex- tensively circulated in this city yesterday Of course the Democrats who engaged in this work knew perfectly well that the letter in question isa forgery; that it was concocted by an unscrupulous.and characterless Bohe- mian In New York; that it is addressed to an” imaginary member of an imaginary associa- tion; thatits authenticity has been denied and disproved cireumstantially,. and that re- spectable Democratic newspapers, without exception, repudiate it altogether. We pre- sume that the Chicago Democrats who have done this dirty thing have read the following in the Chicago Times (Democratic) : ‘The alleged letter of Mr. Garfield to an al-. leged Secretary of an alleged, “ Employers’ Union” at Lynn, Mags. is undoubtedly a pure fabrication. Mr. Garfield denies having ever written such a letter to uny person, and says he | never heard of a man named H. L. Morey. It {3 found upon inquiry among the employers of Lynn that no person, of that name is ever connected with an * Employers’ Union” at that place, and that no “Employers’ Union” ever existed there. Moreover, no person has yet been found at that plice who ‘ever knew. or heard of a man ‘by the name of H. L. Morey. ‘The proof thay the alleged letter wasa “weak invention of the enemy” appears to be cumu- lative and conclusive. Also the following, from’ the New York World (official Democratic organ): The World has been careful not to assume the genuineness of Geo. Garfield’s letter on the ques- tion of Ubinese labor. It is impossible to suppose’ that this thing has been done in ignorance. The _Demo- eratie managers have circulated a forgery, well knawing it to be a forgery. Hence they are as guilty as the original rascal who fab- rieated the letter. Further evidence of a de- liberate intention to deceive and defraud the public is contained in the same circular, in the following alleged “extract from Gen. Hancock's letter” (the implication being that it is from his fetter of acceptance): Iam too sound an American to advocate any departure from the general features of policy that has been largely iosprumenral in building up our industries and keeping Americans from the competition of the under-paid labor of Eu- rope. ‘These words are not in Gen. Hancock’s let- ter of acceptance, They are in his letter to Sesiator Randolph, written since the October elections, In which he goes back on the Tariff plank in his party’s platform. They do not relate to the’ Chinese question atall. Gen. Hancock has not written and will not write aline onthe Chinese question, for the very plafn reason that the planters in the South desire Chinese immigration and coolie labor. —— ‘Tre general élection will take place only nine days hence, and it is about time that 20,000 careless citizens of Chicago should under- stand that soindattention tit is necessary. It includes the election of a President and Vice- President, members of Congress, a Governor and full corps of State officers, a General Assembly, of which three Senators and twen- ty-one Representatives are to be chosen in this coiinty, a Shefiff, and various county officers, and, hardly Jess important than any - of these, five members of the Board of County Commissioners. Taken as a whole, the elec- tion demands the serious attention of every taxpayer in this city... It is not sufficient that every Republican in Illinois believes ‘that Garfield’s election is almost beyond doubt, or that it is certain that Mlinois will choose Garfield Blectors,—those opinions afford no justification to any Repub- lican voter for absenting himself from ‘the polls on eléction-day and failing to record his vote in favor of his own principles, or to support his own convictions. In Indiana, a few days ago, the poptilar vote was the’ greatest ever polled in that State.” Every inan who. was’ physically. able to go to the polls voted. Yet, had three Republicans out of every 100 in the State—a very small per- centaze—failed to vote, the whule Democrat- ie ticket would have been elected; which | would have given the Democrats hope of success in November. ¥ Fot many yeats the tule iii this city has been for 25 to 80 per cent of ‘the voters to carelesly stay away froin the polls on elec- tion-day, thus depriving Chicago of her just weight In the election of, National, State, and local rulers. The time has. come when this system of non-voting should cease, and this gteat city should show by its turnout the ‘vitatity of its population and. their deep in- terest in all that pertains to the Government of the Nation. ‘the Republicans of Chicago can, if yoters will perform their duty, poll 45,000 votes on the 2d of November. Will the Re- publicang all turn out and protect them: selves and their own interests by the per- formance of the duty of every freeman? ‘TueERe is reason to doubt whether the Committee wliich is managing ‘the Repub- lican county campaign has thus far devel- oped the capacity and shown the attention to detail to meet thé’ supeiior activity and adroitness of the other side. It is not too Tate to remedy the fault. From this time on, every member of the Republican Committee should devote his entire time te the workin hand. A full week remaitis, and: much may be accomplished in that time, ‘The. county should be parceled out among the managers, and each man should: devote himself to the thorough organization of. the district in- trusted to him.
