SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1890. A DEcIsIoN was rendered in the Detroit Circuit Court yesterday in the case of the State against the Michigan Southern Railroad Com- pany, holding the Company liable for $83,200 in back taxes which it had failed to pay tothe State under itacharter. The Company has taken an appeal to thé Supreme Coust, Is another page will be found a list of the leading business houses in this city which will be tlused on Tuesday pext in order that the em- ployés may haye an opportunity to vote. It is expected that many additions will be made to thy list to-morrow. Over 10) of the crmmission nen on South Water street have also deter- nined to cluse on election-day. Every voter bhould be given an opportunity to exercise his privilege, and for that reusou there will pruba- Uly be a general suspension of business. Frepenick W. Faxt, a pork commission merchant of Indianapolis, disappeared from the Feene of bis activity about twenty days ago, and bas not since been heard from. Some Indianap- olis people would like to Interview him and re- zeive an explanation from him why he borrowed money on notes to which he forged their names. Tuexmozntof the forgeries is about $3,000. Fant was a Democrat, and made himself very conspicuous at the October election in Indianap- olis. Tx consequence of the increased earnings of American roads, as shown hy the return for ecveral months past, Americau railroad securi- ties huve risen in the London money market, gud the tendency is towards higher prices. American securities of nil ginds are eagerly sought after by the moneyed men of England. 48 soon as the resultof the Presidential elec- tion is definitly settled there is reason to believe Unt taere will be still greater demand, and a consequent advance in prices, Tue anti-Morse Democrats of the Fourth ussachusetts District have refused to accept ex-Gov. Gaston's declination of the nomination which thoy tendered him sume weeks ago, and they deoided torun bim as an independent Dem- ocratic candidate. This action insures the de- feat of Mr. Morse, the only Democrat in the present Massnchusetts delegation, and also nukes it all but certain that the next Congres- sional dclezation from the Bay State will be sully Republican. é Tue pedestrian contest for the Astley belt will commenceat London to-morrow morning at lo'eluk. The London Sporting Life says that al! the men ure in excellent condition, ana pre- dicts that the contest will be close and exciting. Rowell, “Blower” Browa, and Littieticid, the Englishmen, are counted on to keep the belt in England, If they are beaten this time by an Americen, it is‘ udmitted that the belt will re- main in this country for 2 considerable period. Dobler, the Chicago boy, is in fair condition, and 48 said to be sanguine of success. GRANT says that it will not surprise hita if New York State gives 50,000: majority to Gen. Garfield next Tuesday. The Republicans are thoroughly alive to the issues at stake, the bulldozing tactics of Jobn Kelly in New York have disgusted the better element of the Demo- cratic party, and the Republicans expect to cut down the Democratic majority in the city In consequence. Gen. Grant thinks the Republic- ans will carry every Northern State, with the possible exception of Nevada and California, and of the latter of these there is not very much doubt. ; ‘Two DELEGATIONS of iron-workers, one from Cleveland, numbering 153, and one from Youngstown of about the sume number; called on Gen. Garfield at bis Mentor home to present congratulations. Both were cordially received, and Gen. Gartield made # short speech to them, in which he complimented them on their ap- peurance. After these visitors had withdrawn, deleguuions of cavalry and infantry came pour- iny in trom every town in Luke County, Ohio. Fully 2,000 in all put inan appearance. They were _reevived by tbe General in the meadow opposit his house. During this lust part of the program it rained incessantly, but the enthusiasm was well sustained notwithstanding. Ir has been determined by the business- men and manufacturers of Hartford, New Ha- ven, Bridgeport, and other lurge cities of Con- necticut that they wil close their places of business ‘Tuesday in order to give their em- pioyés an opportunity tw yore eurly in the day, and that they themselves flay by their pres- cuce at the polls exert an ibtluence in favor of the Republican Ucket. About twenty prominent Dusiness-inen will attend each pull to urge the election of Garfield and Arthur in the interests of the commerce and manufactures of the country. Iu the Democratic wards the work will be ia- trusted to the young irish-Americans who bave cut louse from the Democratic party in Con- pecticut, and who ure among the most carnest ‘dents of Yate and active Republicans in that State. Thereisuo doubt that the Republicans’ will carry the Nut- meg State Tuesday. They. are thoroughly or- ganized, and have received large accessions, this. year’ fromthe “working ‘classes on, account of the tariff issue. The stu- College are ‘also - very enthusiastic in the Republican’ cause, and have Detitioned tlie Faculty to make Tuesday a holl- day, that they may bave’s chance to work and Vote. It will not be at all surprising if Connec- ticut goes Republican by 12,000 majority. ——se Tur hearing of the Philp case was re- sumed yesterday. Additional evidence was given to prove that the Chinese letter was In the band- writing of Philp, and that there was Do resem~ blance between the handwriting of Gen: Garfield and that in the letter. “Evidence was also given which proved conclusively that the stumps on the envelope and the stamp by which the postage stamp was canceled, were irregu- lar. The testimony - for «the < prosecu- tion was clear, positive, .and intelligent, and completely proves the letter to bea forgery. ‘The evening was taken up by an attempt on the part of Philp to show that the’letter was not in bis handwriting. No attempt was made to show that it was in Gen. Garfield's handwriting. Ata late hour the court adjourned till Monday. Axy attempt of the blood-tubs and plug- | uglies of the Democratic party to repeat next Tuesday, or to vote without the legal right to do 80, iscertain to be prevented und punished, A committee, consisting of several intelligent citt- zens, has exumined the registration books of every polling-place in tho city, and bave discovered that a large number of names have been registered from vacant lots, that fictitious names have been registered, and also many foreigners who have not yet beon naturalized. Lists of such persons. bave been made and furnished tothe judges of election, and as soon as any of the partics corresponding tomny name on the list presenta his vote, he will be immediately pdinted out to the Deputy Marshals and gprested. The',good citizens of Chicago have determined” to’ hatd‘an bunest election at all bazards, and they will not be pre- vented from having it by Carter Harrison and his speciul policemen, orJoc Mackin and the tar- riers, wo Cuamman Bansuat is unfortunate in not Securing the proper parties to substantiate his menducious and malicious campaign ‘stories. Some days ago an agent of his, by the payment of a large sum of money, induced u Mrs. Morey, of Lynn, to make a statement to the effect that she had. a son named H.L. Morey, that she lived at one tims in Lynn, and that she was therevisited by her son, Mrs. Morey. having been-given # Jocat habitation, x representative of a Boston newspaper called on ber yesterday in reference to the statement put forward by Chairman Barnum in her name. She ‘acknowledged that she made tha statement in order to obtain money, She has made afiidavit that she had no son whose initials are H. L. Neither did any of her husband's sons by a previous wife have any such initials. The whole story about tne extst- ence of tho H. L. Morey of the Chinese letter thus falls to the ground. Chairman Barnum is. Greg more convicted of § mean, contemptible, and scandalous attempt {o blacken the character of a political opponent. ‘Mr. I. J.. Feitvs, 2 prominent Demorate residing at Bivomington, 1nd., is authority for the statement that the Democrats have organ- ized secret oath-bound Democratic sovictics in every school district of that State. One of the pledges which cach member takes on enter- ing the secret society is that he shall uso all means in his power to induce at Jeast onc Re- publican to vote for Hancock. The parties who organized these socicties are’ adepts ut the busi- ness, most of them having been members of ‘the truftorous, treasonable, and perfidious organization known as the Knights of the Golden Circle. It is not at all probable that the new se- eret society wil! any more affect the R>publican majority in the Hoo-jerState than did its proxen- itor the safety of the Union. The new bantling has to contend against the same principles, against monanimated by the same spirit, as those which grappled with and strangled the old ons before it bhuda chanceto accomplish its vicious, wicked, and traitorous purpose. The Indiana -Kepublicans should be on guard, however, The Democrats ure actually desperate, and they will stop at nothing, how- ever disreputable and mean, to. accomplish thelr purpose of stealing the vote of the State for Hancock next Tuesday. It is well known that the Democratic leaders have been coquetting with backsliders from tha Green- back purty during the past week; that English bas opened another barrel, and that an attempt will be mude to gull Republican and Greenback voters into voting for some of. the Democratic Electors. The Indiana Republicans have shown that they have a majority of 7,000 in the State. The effect of their. victory on the Ith of October will increase their majority to 20,000 next Tuesday if the leaders work with equal zeal and energy. Plots, schemes, bribery, forgery, perjury, and treason cannot prevail against the votes of freemen. Tne Democratic leaders in their affected zeal for the well-being ot the workingmen of this country have resorted to every mean, underbanded, base, and cowardly trick to make it appear that Gen. Gurfleld was opposed to the workingmen of the country, in favor of legisla- tion prejudicial to their interests, and of the im- portution of mortgaged end pauperized laborers from China to compete with the citizen working- men of America. In their miserable attempt to make this appear, the Democratic leaders have resorted to bribery, . forzery, and perjury. ‘Their purpose has been exposed, the hollow- ness of their professions proved, and the baseness of thelr schemes discovered to an indignant public, yet they con- tinue in their shameless methods of fulsification and vilification, There is no need to resort to any scheme, trick, or strategem to prove that a prominent Democratic leader in this Stute, uo Jessa person than Lymag Trumbull, Demo- cratic candidate for Governor of Illinois, has been guilty of- the very thing which it has been sought to prove against Gen. Gartield by sub- orned witnesses, by bribed. and scoundrelly perjurers. On the dthof July, 1870, Mr. Trum- bull, then a United States Senator, sought to have the Naturalization jaws amend- ed -so as to, permit Chinamen to become citizens of the United. States. In support of this amendment he made a long speech in culogy of the Celestials: Citizens of (he eldest nation’ in the world, he said, they were as much entitled to citizenship as Itish- men, Englishmen, or Germans; and spoke of them as patient, laborious, industrious, skillful, and inteiligent people. This speech of Mr. frum, bull, of which the substance of a portion is given. is printed in the Congressional Ulobe, Part 6. of the second session of the Forty-first Con- gress, and any workingman who wishes to know how Mr. Trumbull stands on the Chinese question can do so by reading the speech commencing at page may bave been right in what he said, doubtless he thinks he was, although he has a peculiar Jucility in changing his opinions. Heis probably the most representative man of the Western wing of the Democracy, and it isa litle queer that bis party should go into hysterics over the trumped-up churge that the Republican candi- date for President favored what beso eloquently, forcibly, and fully favored—Chinesechcup labor. ‘Tue peculiarly “independent” Democratic organ with characteristic meanness springs another roorbach in a “ second edition,” in- tended to injure Gen. Garfield, ata time’so Jate that it will be difficult for the truth to overtake it and squelch it. It is the. old, old “De Golyer contract humbug” over again, based upon the affidavit of a lobbyist. If" there had been any truth in it, it would have. been made four months ago, and, there being no truth in it, it is withheld until the very verge of the election, and is ‘sent all over. the Jand to Democratic newspapers with the Knowledge that it will be impossible for a contradiction to reach the country papers in time for publication, or at least not until the very morning of election, when voters are too busy to read. It is part and parcel of the same unprincipled, unmanly, dirty, and sneaking policy which sprung the Chinese forgery upon the public, and which wil! not hesitate to set afloat other canards of the same sort between now and Tuesday. The Hill affidavit, however, will not accomplish its purpose. The De Golyer contract canard was exploded long ago. The falsity and the purpose of the chargeare fully understood 5,177 of the volume referred to. Mr. Trumbull: by the people, and the affidavit of. this lobbyist Hili—for the making’ of which he has probably been pald his price—will have no more effect than the original charge. Its appearance, however, shows the desperate straits to which the Democracy are reduced, and is only one more illus- tration. of the want of candor, manli- ness; and ordinary decency which has characterized the Democrats in their assault upon Gen. Garfield, and which has called out from the New York Sun, the principal Dem- ocratie newspaper in‘this country, the fol- lowing stinging rebuke: ‘There is some de- ‘gree of honesty due from all men to all other men at all times and under all circumstances, After persistently denouncing for four years the obtaining of power by the Republicans through mearts of fraud,. we have no desire to seeit wrenched from them by forgery. If we must choose between honesty and office, we prefer honesty.” “FACTS FOR THE MEN OF CHICAGO. It hasbeen freely asserted for some days past that Carter H. Harrison, in bis zeal as a Demoerutic Boss, had so far forgotten his duty as the impartial executive officer of a great city that Republican voters wera in danger of being deprived of their rights on election-day. It was said to be his plan to have a line of Democratic roughs at the’ various polling-places before the polls opened, and they, by admitting Democrats to the head of the line and forcing Republicans to take: the rear, would have dmplete possession, and Republican voters would be practically disfranchised. It was even said that the police force would be instructed to assist in carrying out this untair and revolutionary scheme, Charges of unfaiimess and bad faith have also been made by Democratic politicians, and the public mind is in a con- dition of unhealthy excitement. On election- day a large number of men willbe clothed ‘with authority from the United States, the County, or the City Government. .Many of them will be persons unaccustomed to their new responsibility and without accurate knowledge of their legal powers. In view of these facts acommittee of well- known merchants, in no way connected with the organization or management of. either party, determined to make an effort for joint action on the part of the powers that be, in the interest solely of fairness to all, They prepared the following order, which they be- lieved would be acceptable ‘to every “fair- minded person, and which.they hoped would meet the approval of the United States Mar- shal, the Mayor, and the Sheriff: & Wuenrezas, It is the desire of all good citize: that the election on ‘Tuesday next, Nov. 2, 1880, may bea fairand peaceful one, und that no conulct of authority may arise between persons acting under orders from the undersigned :re- spectively, therefure 1, Jesse Hildrup, United States Marshal for the Northern District of Uili- nois, and L, Carter H. Harrison, Mayor of the City of Chicago, and I, Jobn Hoffmann, Sheriif of Cook County, hereby order that when the line of voters is formed at the polls in the respective - voting precincts of the City of Chicago on the 2d day of November, 1880, the voters in the.line shall deposit their bullots ip the order in which they stand in the line at the opening of the polls, which order of voting sbatl cont.nue during the duy, and no person shall bo admitted to the fine except at the rear. All persons found .in the line ufter having yoted and all persons found twice in the line without having offered their ballots shall be at once removed. This order is binding, and all persons acting under the au- thority of the United States Murshal, the Mayor of the City of Chicago, or the Sheriff of Cook County shall sce that it is enforced. ‘Dated at Chicago this th day of October, 1880. . The Committee called upon Marshal Mild- rup yesterday morning and secured his-sige nature and approval of their proposal. En- couraged by this and by the promise of Sheriff Hoffmann’s signature (since fulfilled) the Committee called- upon Mayor Uarrison in full confidence’ that he would not refuse his assent to a measure go simple and so eimi- nently. fair. But he did, and the people will hold him responsible for it. ‘The merchants of Chicago asked him to say that-the election “should be a fair one, and he refused, They asked him to assure. them that he would countenance no violation of that un- written law of courtesy between man und man which is recognized in’ every civilized community, and he refused. They asked him to join the United Marshal and the Sheriff in an order which would preventa conflict of authority, and he refused." * . ‘The people of this city want a fair elec- tion, Shall they have it? They want no violence and no conflict of authority on elec- fon-day. And if these occur they will hold Carter H. Harrison accountable. THE LOCAL CAMPAIGN AND TICKET. Itis with considerable satisfaction that Tue Tripuse notes that the local campaign this year has been conducted with fewer person- al attacks than usual. The Republicans have, asurule, been content with the con- viction that their ticket as a whole is so vast- ly superior to that of their opponents that they have tefrained’ from attacking the par- ticular points in the Democratic ticket which are conspicuously vulnerable. The criticisms upon the conduct of Carter Harrison have been necessary in order to direct the. atten- ton of the public.generally; and especially the attention of the Republican. managers, to’ the desperate and unscrupulous .methods whereby the Democrats hope to secure a ma- jority which they cannot possibly obtain by: a fair, full,and unrestricted yote. For the rest, the Republicans have trusted to the good sense and local pride of the people in this city and county to elect a set: of officials who will do them credit in preference to an- other set of men who, with few exceptions, are not well fitted for the positions for which the Democrats have namea them. Gen. Stiles, under the pretense of urging a retorm in the prosecution and administration df criminal law in this county, departed fromthe rule of the present campaign, and censured Mr; Mills, the Republican candidate for State's Attorney, and Gen. Mann, the Re- publican candidate for Sheriff, in connection with the bail-bond practice. Investixation shows that these censures were not well considered, and that Gen. Stiles had not traced the cases he cited to their actual out- come, Mr, Mills has explained them in-de-. tail; in some of them he has shown that he cannot in any just sense be held responsi- ble for non-prosecution, and in others that prosecution was carried to the uttermost capability of the law. In thé case of Perio- lat, forinstance, who was ‘indicted in con- nection with alleged county frauds, it seems that a change of venue was taken to another county, and the case finally dismissed with- out Mills? knowledge or consent. All of Periolat’s co-conspirators—eleven County Comuiissioners~had been already tried-and ‘Requitted. Gen. Mann has. shown that, in the cases where he went on bail bonds, he produced -his men for trial. There will al- ways be more or less lapses in bail bonds and failure of prosecutions so long. as changes of venue are so easy as they are now under the law, and so long as there shall be but one Cnminal Court in Cook County. The addi- tion of four new Judges to the Superior States Court will afford an opportunity which should not be neglected for enliring the fa~ cilities and insuring the promptness of crim- inal prosecutions. ‘Tle record of the past fyur years has shown Af’. Millgto‘be an.act- ive, energetic, and ‘efficient officer, ind wé doubt whether. another could have transact- ed the business more. effectively under the same constant pressure and strain, ‘The superiority of the Republican ticket in its candidates for the County Board should. also commend: it to the active ‘support of every man who hag property interests at stake. The management, of county affairs during the past two “years has. been honest and economical, The candidates presented the Republicans this year assurein one or tivo fistances an improvement upon the ‘old ‘Board. ‘The Democrats are making,a des- -perate effort“to ‘carry the city, and thus se- ‘eure the election of four of the five new Com- ‘missioners. With one exception, however, their candidates are totally unfit for the re~ sponsible duties which attach ;to the Qounty Board, and the’ selection of these men might introduce an element that would lead up to a restoration of all the abuses which cost the people so dearly afew yearsago. To guard against such a result is, perhaps. the most sériowsGonsideration in -thé local contest, and it should.be the ‘aim and: effart. of. every good citizen to help swell the Republican vote in the city in order that there may be no danger of the election of incompetent and un- trustworthy men to.the County Board.” - ‘The Rapublican candidates for Judges are, asa whole, very much superior to the Demo- cratic candidates. Tliey are men who inspire coniidence, and will help to maintain the reputation for fairness -and dignity which the Cook County Judiciary has-always en- joyed. it is for this reason, rather than on account of their presence on the Republican side, that they should recéive popular su port. But their character ought to attract additional strength to the Republican ticket, and assist in polling so large a vote as will surely defeat the objectionable candidates for the other offices on the Democratic ticket. What we have said’ in regard to the loeal ticket is sufficient to appeal to the intelli- gent and reputable voters. But there stilt remuins work for the active managers of the campnign. It is for them: to make sure within the next two'days of such an organ- ization at the polls us will’ guarantee full protection for Republican voters, and defeat the attempts at fraud on the other side which will undoubtedly be made. There should be at every polling-vlace determined represent- atives of the Republican patty who shal) act in harmony and under a common leadership, with the intention of insisting upon: the tights of- every man who desires to vote the Repubdlican ticket, and scrutinizing rigidly every voter whom thera is the smallest rea- son to suspect. This organization should be large enough to stifle apy! unfair interfer- ence of Democratic ruffians ‘in the guise of special policemen, and imptess upon Carter Harrison’s regular police that itis as much their duty to protect peaceful and law-abid- ing Republicans as it is to facilitate Demo- eratic frauds, By such a equrse a difference of thousands may be made in favor of the Republican ticket in. the .vote of. next Tuesday, ‘ MAYOR HARXISON’S APPEAL FOR VIO- LENCE. Of the inen who have held the, office of Mayor of Chicago, there has been but onc who ever appealed to the public to resort to mob violence at an election, to break the public peace, or destroy, Ijfe and property. We have already referréd:;to Mayor Marri- son’s bulldozing the police) into mere party strikers or adjuncts of th® Democratic Com- mittee, and to his appointmjant of. a force of 600 special policemen, » “all. Democrats.” Mayor Harrison, whose sworn duty ‘as the Exceutive of the city is to maintain the pub- lic peace, ‘preserve order,jFepress violence, and maintain the laws, addressed a public meviing at‘ Maskell Hall ‘on Friday night, which is reported in the morning Democratic paper of Saturday. The nieetingis described asthe “largest political meeting ever held in the Ninth Ward,” and was called to hear “speeches from Mayor Harrison and Gen. Farnsworth.? The report of Mayor Har- rison’s speech recites. that— Iie culled upon his hearers to go early to the polls on next, ‘tuesday, and, if the Republican Supervisors, Marshals, Depoty Sherilts, judges, chutllenyers, or any oue else*begun the build ing business on thom ox thelr friends, and. xt- y intimidution yr otherwise to di tranenise them, then to break down the doors, tear down the bullding, take the ballut-box, put (n thetr ballot, and run the poll theénselves, [Great and loud cheering.) aia This is the incendiary, language of the Mayor of Chicago. Dents Kearney in his wildest moments never urged his deluded followers in more inflannnatory language. Here was not only advicé, but # direction, from the Muyor of the city to assault the polling-places, “ break down the, doors, tear down the’ building, tak @ ballot-box, put in their ballots, and run thé poll themselves.” ‘Was there ever more mobocratic language used by-the vilest scoundrel that ever sought toincite a mob to violence ‘and crime? Had such Janguage been used by an unofiicial person it would have béen villainousenough ; “put coming from the Jfayor of: the city, sur- rounded With 1,000 regular and special armed policemen, it was doubly infamous and disgraceful. Whatis the pretended feat of this man, who has certainly become, crazed ?; Has he the ambition to put himself atthe head of a mob to break up the election and plunge this city into a general riot, bldodshed, and con- flagration ? nae Here is the machinery of the election: 1. Three judges of election at each poll, one a Democrat, frequently two or three, and in the nggregate mord than one-third be- ing Democrats. 2. Two clerks at each poll, one 2 Democrat. 3, Two challengers af :each poll, one a ‘Democrat. : ree 4. ‘Two Supervisors ‘at each poll, one a Democrat. 5. One thousand policemen, regulars and, specials, all armed, and “all Democrats.” 6 Three hundred Sheriff’s Deputies, Re- publicans.: ‘s That is the official machinery distributed among 145 voting precincts. Who is to do the fighting? In the face of this overwhelin- ing Democratic force this crazy man (for itis charity to suppose he is erazed) appeals to ‘the ignorant, vicious, and criminal-among his followers to permit no.defeat at the polls, but, if necessary, to break down, the doors of the polling-places, tear:down. the buildings, seize the ballot-boxes, deposit the ballots, and run the polls themselves! Does.any person suppose that this advice—nay, absolute direc- tion—of the Mayor can be carried out without resistance, without violence, Without a struggle and bloodshed, which. once be- ‘gun by order of the Mayor, must become general? Who ever before heard of a. mob or a riot with the Mayor at, its head ? Hiere is this man, holding the authority of Mayor; telly this ward erowd that if they do these things they do so’ by his adviee as ‘Mayor, and that he, as Mayor, will defend ‘and protect them while they sack the polling- places, seize the ballut-boxes, and run the Pulls theniselves. , = If there be a riot anda inob at any of the polls on Tuesday next, the ignorant and de- Juded men who are, expected. to perforin this violence will not be the really ‘guilty crimi- nals. The responsibility for the crime will de on the wan who.officially. as Mayor of the city, advised them to violence, advised them to .mah. . tt legal officers of the elec- tion, , advised them .to seize the bal- Jotpoxes, ‘and advised them to run ‘the election themselves, Society will hold ithat man who, as Mayor, advised his follow- ers to violence as the real criminal, respon- sible for the consequences that may follow. Ifany inan be killed in the riots that must sresult from carrying out the Mayor’s advice, then the blood of the murdered victim must rest on the hands of the officer who advised, instigated, and urged his followers to riot, violence, and all that wight follow. i Carter Harrison personally is of no greater concern in this contest than Lawler or Mike MeDonald; but Carter Harrison, as Mayor of the city urging the ignorant members of his iparty to riot and bloodshed, is a disgrace to the city of which he is Mayor, and, because of his official position, more responsible for the crime committed at his official instiga- tion." HOW TO SEND THE NEGROES NORTH. Tue Curcaco True, on more than one occasion during the campaign, has warned the Irish voters that their suffrages for Han- cock and English, should those two candi- dates be successful, will inevitably tend to cause an increased negro exodus to the North, and it once more reiterates its warn- ing, which Irishmen should heed if they have any care for thelr own interests. Just as sure as the election of Gen. Garfield will bet- ter the political and social condition of the shegroes in the South, and influence them to remain there, just so sure the election of Jlancock and the ascenaency of the South in power will be the signal for s fresh outbreak of persecution and a renewal of the exodus furor, which has -already sent 30,000 negroes to Kansas and other localitiés in the North to escape the same. brutality and oppression which are sending the Irish over the wator. to this country, Everything is ripe in the South for. such an exodus, and no thoughtful Irishman can blame them for leaving. Their condition in the South is almost exactly the same a3 that of the oppressed Irish tenants. They are both the victims of cruel landlords. They are both laboring men. Their numbers in {ireland and in the South are about the same. ‘heir motive in leaving the land of their birth is thesame. The tenants in Ireland are landless, and all that they ‘produce is stripped from them by the merciless land- Jords. The negroes in the South are equally landless, and all that they can raise is taken from them by the Democratic owners of the soil: The Irish tenants are ground down into the dust with odious and malicious land laws, The negroes are ground down still further than the Irish, and consequently the necessity to leave is even greater than that which drives thousands of Irish to this coun- try. They are charged exorbitant rents. They are denied justice. They are arrested upon the most trivial pretenses and punished with the severest penalties of the law. They are bulldozed and cheated out of their rights. They are not allowed to vote. Their churches arid their school-houses are burned. They are not permitted to educate their children. ‘They are prevented from sitting on juries. They have been reduced in some Southern States to a condition which in nearly every. respect is as unjust and cruel as that of slavery. * If Hancock should be elected, this perse- cution would recommence with fresh bitter- ness. These black men know this, and they are only waiting the result of this election to decide whether they shall remain in the South or leave it, As Tme Trmpune once before said: “There is not a black man or woman on ‘the remotest plantation in the South bat understands, feels, and is con- viniced that the election’ of Hancock aud En- gligh, and: the return of the Democratic- Cqnfederate party to power, will mean the practical reénslavement of the colored race; thas it will mean the extinction of even their present nominal political rights, and with thése will perish also their civil rights, and all dreams of becoming owners of property and controlling their labor.” At is morally certain that if the Democratic party is successful on Tuesday, and that if the Confederates return to power through the help of the votes of Irishmen, who con- stitute the bulk of the Democratic party in the North, one to two millions of negroes will start for the North in the next four years to eseape the persecution and additional bur- ‘dens that will be imposed uvon them. They are laborers, and naturally enough they will pour into the large cities, where labor is more in demand now than in the country. They are competent to do all kinds of mannal Iabor, such as teaming, hauling, grain-trimming, coal-heaving, digging, hod-carrying, packing, butcher- ing, and the rough work -in building, and their woinen are very useful and skill- ful as servants, cooks, and laundry workers. They can do allthis kind of labor cheaper than the Irish, and they will underbid them and crowd them out. Norcan the Irish com- plain. They have the right'tocome, and noth- jng_can stop them if they persist in. coming. ‘Rhey have certainly as good a right to come North as the Irish have to come here from Ireland, because they are native-born citi- zens, and they will not only come to the North, but they will come to stay. If the Irish, therefore, want them to come and want a iavor competition that will crowd them hard, they can secure this by helping to elect Hancock and English. If they want this black labor, on the other hand, to stay where it is. they can effect this by voting for Garfield and Arthur, If they vote for the Republican ticket, they vote for their own in. terests. If they vote the Democratic ticket, they vote against their own interests. It does not require a high degree of intelli- gence to sec it. AN UNDIGNIFIED OFF-CIAL. Carter Il. Marrison is Mayor of the City of Chicago. He was elected to that position by the votes of Republicans as well as Demo- crats, owing to the circumstances of the con- test when he was a candidate. He is paid a salary by the taxpayers, and 7% per cent of ‘these taxes-come out of the Republicans, His office is largely a business trust. He is “the responsible representative of a municipal corporation. -Yet he has neglected.the duties of his office for months inorder to render partisan service to the Lost Gause.” He has been rambling about the country making slush speeches and trading upon his position as “Mayor of Chicago” to. secure for him an attention that he could not otherwise command. JIfaving thus exhibited himself, to the neglect of the interests intrustel to him, hé réturns-to this city to prostitute the various working departments of the munici- pal corporation to do the. dirty ‘work of his party. Ile assumes the active, personal management of the campaign. He gives ‘a sort of general notice that. every ‘man in the city’s employ must act as a Democratic striker. He is not content with misusing the time he was ex- pected to employ on behalf of the taxpayers nor with setting a bad example ta his sub- ordinates, but he actually menaces with dis- missaf those under him who do not follow that example. We know. of no case where a high and responsible office has .been so flagrantly prostituted. : Itis. possible that Mr. Harrison’s strong Bourbon devotion to the Confederate party has prompted him in a measure to pursue the undignified course he has taken in the present campaign. . But it is fair to belfeve that a more selfish motive has also bad its in~ fluence upon him. He wants to be Mayor of Chicago a second time. He believes tliat it this county shall be forced to go Democratic under his management he can become the local “Boss” of his party, dictate his own nomination, and secure his election fora sec- ond term. Perhaps Mr. Harrison has de- ceived himself in this particular. The peo- ple of Chicago area practical, cool-henaded, and matter-of-fact people. They believe in devotion to business and fidelity to trusts. They -do not elect public officials as mere figure-heads, nor do they approve of misapplying the time and services they pay for. The Chicago people are not of a cHar- acter to submit to bulldozing of the Southern kind, They resent officlat interference with their political affairs. Mr. Harrison has for- feited the respect that was felt for him and the confidence that was reposedin him. ‘Those who have not yet been aroused to actual condemnation of his course still feel that his conduct has been undignified. It only re- mains for Harrison to complete his own po- litical ruin by carrying out on election-day the program which has been credited tohim. If the police of this ‘city, whether regular or special, shall be used to protect unfair dis- crimination against Republican voters, or to facilitate the contemplated Democratic frauds, or to interfere with the United States election officers, that conduct will be Carter Harrison’s political death-warrant. He. is riding altogether too high an animal and at too rapid a gait; there is already a very gen- eral sentiment that he ought to he unnorsed, THE CZAR AT THE BAR OF PUBLIC OPINION. a One of the most remarkable spectacles that Royalty has ever furnished and one of the most significant indications of the power of the modern press is the appearance of the Czar of all the Russias and his brother, the Grand Duke Nicholas, before the bar of pub- lic opinion in the columns of a French peri- odical. It appears that in June last the Grand Duke, then in Paris, who commanded the Russian forces during the recent war. with Turkey, irritated at some criticisms that had been made upon his generalship, contributed an article upon the war to the Nouvelle Revue, a French Liberal paper, edited by Mme. Edmond Adam, and largely’ devoted to politics. .The article. was a very caustic one. It impugned the motives of the Czar by declaring that he provoked the war, and that his object was to seize Constanti- nople, and was particularly severe upon Gen. Milutin; the War Ministor, upon whom it charged all the biunders that were made during the campaign. The appear- ance of the article produced -a decided sensation in Russia, and so enraged Gen, Milutin that he went to the Czar as soon as it was discovered that the Grand Duke was the author and tendered his resignation. The Czar not only refused to accept it, but made the Minister the fullest reparation in his power by- giving him 50,000 rubfes and an annual grant from the Turkish fund, and also his consent that a reply should be made to the article in the same paper. Mme. Adam was.shortly after notified that a reply would be sent for the October number, and that it must end the discussion. If she was not ready to accept the condition it would be sent for publication to the. Revue des Deux Mondes. The Madame accepted the condi- tion, and in due time the article appeared. This was not the only consequence of the Grand Duke’s injudicious action. His com- mand was transferred to another officer, and he was notified by the Czar that his presence in Russia was undesirable, which was tanta- mount to exile. ‘The matter of the reply has no particular interest, except as it contains a statement. inspired by the Czar himself as to the causes which led Russia to declare war against Turkey. These causes are substantially as follows: “When the Herzegovina insurrec- tion broke ont Russia dotected the dangers to Europe growing out of the relations of the Turks and Christians.’ She strove to bring about a European concert, but it failed. She then proposed the Berlin memorandum, which contemplated a epllective naval dem- onstration. All the powers accepted it ex- cept England, though five years later the Jatter Power is at the head of another naval demonstration ta enforce the provisions. of the Berlin Treaty. Meanwhile thé insurrectton continued and led to horrible massacres, Servia and Montenegro were dragged into the fight. Up to this time Russia had taken no part in the struggle, but, when the Turks prepared to overwhelm these two Provinces, she went from Power to Power trying to bring about a cessation of hostilities by dip- Jomatic means. Atiastshe sent an ultima- tum from Livadia to the Turks, and that ul- timatum saved Servia. But Montenegro was still threatened, and massacres of Christians continued. Russia continued to intercede for them without avail, and in vain tried to interest the other Powers. She made.a last appeal to Turkey in their behalf, but it was contemptuously rejected. What followed is told in the following stirring words: é Now, todonothing in face of the revolting spec- tacle of the massuere of Christinus in‘Eurkey and the voluutury impotence of Burope was impossi- ble. Every tradition, every Christian conviction, every sentiment of the Russian nation shouid have been denied if Russia remained unmoved. She would not and her Goverament could not. Russia, without doubt, deplores the meagreness of the results obtuined, but she does not regret the sacritice sho made With so much self-abie- gation. ‘She is conscious of not having proved Wuworthy of preceding generations, ench one of whom had shed its. blood on the battlefields of tho Orient fur the deliverance of Christians.

' Interesting as the subject-matter of this reply is from a historical point of yiew, the general reader will find the principal inter- est to lie in the light it throws upon the power of the press. In his own realm the Czar is absolute, and no such attack could have been made upon him in the Rus- sian press. No utterance hostile to him or his policy’ can appear there with- out the suppression. of the paper and, the severe punishment of the unlucky. editor. Outside his realm, however, his in- fluence ceases. A French journal, edited by a lady, fires a broadside at him and comvels him to come down from his throne and ap- pear atthe bar of public dpinion and vindicate himself. Tere certainly is one instance in which the pen is mightier than the sword; one instance at least where an autocrat, be- lieving himself to be divinely commissioned to his throne, has to leave it and appear before the people and defend ‘himself. He cannot be called to account at home, but abroad he has no more immunity from cen- sure than any other individual, and must de- fend himself as he best can. We can trample upon the rights of eighty millions of people athome. He can crowd his military prisons and underground ‘mines with. those who venture to protest against his poliey; but the. French tady’s paper compels the autu- crat to plead his case and justify bimself. The press is no respecter of persons, not even the person who wears a crown and ‘be- lieves himself born to wear the purple by divine right, ‘Tue most important service that the mer- chants and business-men of Chicago can ren- der the Republican party on Tues : to close their places of’ shies ony fiche and go to the polls and work.

W. C. Oates, the regular - Democratic candidate tor Conzress in the Thind Alabama District, he stated that Gen. Hancock: said to him: “i fought for the Tnion, and not~ for all the d—d outrazea of reconstruction.” WILLARD WaRsER. There is no doubt that Col. Oates made the statement here accredited to him. My: Willard Warner is a gentleman whose word. cannot be questioned. 1t is altogether. probe: able, too, that the statement made by Col Oates Is literally correct, and that Gen. Han- cock made the assertion placed in his month: in very much the language aseribed to him;. for Gen, Hancock went:te New Orleans with* the avowed purpose of defeating these ““d—d_ outrages. of reconstruction.” He mades speech in Washington before his departure: for the new command in which he com-- mitted himself to the Johnson policy. ‘In: deed, it is probable that this public declara- tion of his position was exacted from liim::. before he was appointed. His “Order No, .- 40” was a formal declaration of his purposa to break down reconstruction, and all his ~ subsequent actions while he retained this‘ command were dictated by the same motive, What Gen. Hancock characterized as the “ d—d outrages of reconstruction” were tha’ | laws which Congress had devised, with the special aid of Judge Trumbull, the Dem- ocratic candidate: for Governor, to insureto:. the emancipated negroes the rights which their new condition gave them, and ro =: tect the Unionists, whether native to the’: South or emigrants from the North, against the persecutions suggested by the hate which the Rebels bore them. ‘The purpose of these” “d—d outrages” was merely to. reorganize: the State Governments upon such a basis 4s would comport with the logic of the-War,: and to prevent the practical reéstablishment of an oligarchy which had forfeited its pow- ers’ by unsuccessful rebellion against the Government. Without the accomplishment of what Gen. Hanenck regarded a3 “d—d outrages,” the War would have been fought in vain, and it would have~ an unpardonable ‘waste of .-:monej and sacrifice: of human.- life. . Ith by pronounéing the acts of ‘Congress; as: ‘d—d_ outrages,” and treating thep in that spirit, that Gen. Hancock established, his claim upon the men who sought in vain to break down the Government. From that time he became the South’s favorit candidate for President, but it was not until this yeat that the former Rebels felt themselves strong enough to dictate his nomination.. During all the time that has elapsed sinee Gen, Ham ° cock thus characterized the work of recon- struction. he has never, so far as we know, - had one word of censure or protest for the “d—d outrages” which have been committed at the South on account of political con' tions by the very class with whom he asso-" ciated when he was in command at New On: leans. Is he the sort of man to elect Presi” dent of the United States, which, as yet, ir clude the North as well as tne South? CaRTER Hannison as Mayor of tlie. city has thrust himself on the Demoeratic party, and made himséif Chairman of the Cam: paign Committee. He is especially solieitous that the Irish Democrats shall vote, and be , expects them to do anything and everything,..- even to commit violence, in order to catry © the election. B These Irish Democrats know Carter Har» rigon. .A few months ago several millions of * the people of Ireland were perishing from famine, dying from starvation in their howes - and cabins, or upon the roadside into which they had been thrust by heartless landlords. : The whole world was excited to pity and to” charity. | a ‘The people of Chicago were moved to hol? - a public meeting to urge subscriptions ot- food for the starving, to express sympathy. . foy the poor people who could not pay thelr Tent and were evicted to starve in the opel» Sir, and to appeal to the humanity of the British Government to mitigate the laws'00- der which such suffering was permitted, if. not caused. a ‘The Mayor of Chicago was invited to pre side at that meeting, in order to give a quask official character to the appeal, but Carter: Harrison refused, giving as his cowardly. apology that, “as Mayor of Chicago, he could: perform no act which might be offensive # : the Government of her Imperial Majesty tht” Queen of England”! 3 5 Carter Harrison now is ranning the leo: tion in this city, not for Hancock, but for. Harrison, He has boasted far and wide thst. he can always command the Irish, and he can control this city, and on that boat: has got the money from abroad. -All bis: future hopes political are dependent op a ability to carry Chicago, which he will calm as a personal victory for himself! .

Ife is very enthusiastically patronizing the same Irish.in November to whom in Keb- ruary he gave/a peremptory refusal to pre side at their meeting to ask bread, clothings © and sympathy for millions of their famine” stricken, starving, dying countrymen. The cowardice of the Mayor of Chicag0 « was nobly rebuked by the prompt response by the Governor and Licutenant-Governor. of the State of Ilinois,.who had na fear of . offending her British Majesty by recognizing the appeals in behalf of common humanity. .- ‘Tire Democratic National Committee calle “- not lay the flattering unetion to its soul thst the Morey forgery is a good or clever one of its kind.
