Mb. J. II. Randall was one of the
Greenback speakers in Alabama, and is tell
ing ihe story of the campaign through the
columns of the Washington National View.
He reports that at one of the meetings,
where there was joint speaking for the Dem
ocratic and Greenback tickets, he heard the
following language from one of the speak
ers: "The confederacy sti* exists, my
friends, and Jeff Davis, the best friend we
ever had, is yet our President and devoted
to our interests ; and if Hancock is elected,
and we have no doubt he will be, you will
be paid for all the property you have lost
through Radical rule, and you must stand
bv the great Democratic party, for a solid
South will now give us entire control of the
general government, and we can redress all
our wrongs."
A Garfield newspaper nrints two columns in
display ot the mortgages which Mr. English
lias owned and foreclosed in Indiana daring
the last few years, with 'he names of the mort
gagors and the amounts claimed or realized.
Foot notes are added in which an attempt is
made to aliow the unfeeling manner in which
Mr. English has taken liis due. If there is
any moral convoyed by the catalogue in ques
tion it is that whoever owns a mortgage and
forecloses it when it is due and obtains a judg
ment for anv deficiency is a rogue.—Ν. Y.
World.
That is tjie doctrine held by the Green,
back leaders in Maine, and their ! nulers are
nominated for office and will he voted for
by the Democratic organization in this
State.
Afghanistan and Fenianism.
It is apparent from the recent proceedings
in Parliament that the opposition of a con
siderable party in England to the further
prosecution of the war in Afghanistan is
having an effect upon the Government ; and
taken in connection with another event just
now assuming importance, has placed Mr
Gladstone's administration in a difficult posi
tion. * There is a remarkable coincidence
between the present effort to conquer Af
ghanistan and the history of the struggle in
1839-42. The latter period was marked by
treachery and savage ferocity that form one
of the most revolting chapters in human
history; both have been distinguished by
English incompetency and vain-glorious
assertion. Under the pretext that Hussia
aspired to the control of Afghanistan and
would thus threaten her Indian possessions,
England entered upon a war of subjugation,
following the line of operations that had
given her the dominion of India; interfering
first with the disputes of petty princes, and
finally attempting to place on the throne by
British bayonets a chief who was hated by
the natives, in place of the wise and re
•spected I)ost Mubainmed. But tjie British
found a brave, ingenious, warlike and
treacherous nation to deal with, who were
more than their match in military skill. At
home falsehood and deceit were used to
silence the complaints of the opposition, and
the commanders in the distant field were
often left unsupported, if not treated with
cowardice; and the history of these four
years was one of horrible details.
The present effort has been quite as fu
tile if not as disastrous. It has cost millions
of treasure, and blood enough. The recent
overwhelming defeat of Gen. Burrows by
Akoob.Kliau—an utter rout more terrible
ι lian our first Bull Iiun—has roused an in
dignant protest in England which has caused
the adininistiation to hesitate: and it looks
uu ** iuu Iiiiuiou ν ÏÏCIC QCCKlilg SUIIJ13
way to abandon the contest without the
sacrifice of honor. The future of Afghanis
tan under British arms is a grave question.
Λ standing army of fifty thousand men
could not repress this turbulent people: the
trost of government would be enormous:
commercially the varied and valuable pro
ducts of the country will naturally seek, if
the country is left to itself, a market through
British ports; and more, a people brave and
hardy enough to resist British power will be
equally ready to resist Russian dominion,
and keep the " highway to India" free from
danger to British interests. The British
spirit of conquest in that direction ought to
cease: the Hindu Kush is the natural
boundary of India on the northwest.
The other event we have referred to as
increasing the difficulty of the Gladstone
administration is the Irish question: or
more particularly Fenianism, which has sud
denly come to the front again, but according
Ό recent accounts, in a more effective form
than before; with a better organization,
more powerful and determined in its com
position and tinder its present programme
of operations more likely to succeed than
any previous movement. It has a reliable
membership in England, Scotland and Ire
land, at present of 47,500 men: arms and
ammunition arc reported to be abundant
and easily obtained; and money has been
liberally contributed. Λ correspondent of
the New York Ilerald who is thoroughly
acquainted with the organization, writes
that the obj ct of the Brotherhood now is,
and will be for some time to come, to organ
ize, arm and finally to discipline from eighty
thousand to one hundred thousand men in
Ireland, and to pick from the English and
Scotch organizations from three thousand
to four thousand of the most determined
men for action there, wlien.the proper mo
ment arrives. As soon as the organization
is completed and has appioached the per
fection which is desired anil has sufficient
funds 011 hand, the organization will become
purely ^military. The correspondent adds,
nicetprinnolv· "ΤΙ>α "' -
changed form will simply await events."
It; is said that the reorganized Fenians
have been prepared to act for some lime.
The fall of the Beaconsfield government and
the rise of Gladstone gave hope to the Irish
people of a remedy of their wrongs, for the
Irish question, it will be remembered, en
tered into that canvass. But the Gladstone
ministry has disappointed them. Although
Fenianism and the Land League are not
harmonious organizations, the rejection of
the Irish bill in the House of Lords will have
an effect upon Fenianism, because it is a
rejection of a concession to Irish demands.
Insurrection in Ireland at this time would
find England in a cri.ical condition, bur
dened as she is with an unpopular and ex
haustive war in Afghanistan and social
questions of an unusually grave nature at
home.
A Maine correspondent oi the Boston
Advertiser has the following to say concern
ing the First District:
The unhappy honeymoon of the Fusionists
destroys the last hope the most sanguine of
them may have entertained. The disaffection
of the out-and-out Greenbackers is greater
than has ever been allowed to appear. It may
serve to keep up the courage of their party or
parties, in other districts to sneer at the proc
lamation of Turner and his associates, and de
clare it a wail of Portland soreheads. But
such is not the case. In the back towns and
country districts there are found not a few
who protest against the sale, and declare they
will knock the whole arrangement in the head".
The party has always been noted for its weak
and cheap men. These have ever come to the
front, and seizing the reins have attempted to
run the concern. They have been supplied
with Greenback literature, and sent out
into hamlets and school districts to speak
their pieces and win an easy fame.
These men will be flattered and bought to
the support of Anderson. But back of them is
the ι ody of voters, and they are the ones who
decline to be made the bobs to the old-time
and always Democratic leader. The Green
backer of Republican antecedents has been
told repeatedly that his course was directly
into the Democratic fold, and as often he has
denounced the charge as malicious and de
clared he was standing upon principle. So
long as he could hold his convention, and then
ï_.l —- 1'
well. He claimed to see nothing out of place
in that. Certainly ho would not repel any
who wished to vote with him. ISut the word
comes from all parts of the lirst district that
these men view the present situation in a very
different light. They deem the proposed
transaction as involving a positive act
which will brand all their previous professions
as false pretences, and throw to the dogs all
the political character of which they have
boasted. They are right in their conclusions,
and there is no doubt that they will stand by
by them. If a Greenback candidate is nomin
ated most of them will vote for him. Other
wise many will stay away from the polls, and
others will vote for the Republican nominee.
Lewistox Journal: Pillsbury told liis
Democratic audience at Auburn Hall that
"Maine shipyards are as deserted as grave
yards," under Republican rule. This is
about as near as he usually comes to telling
the truth. Since 1860, when the Republi
cans came into power, Maine has built 3,000
wooden vessels, many more than any other
two States in the Union, worth more than
$70,000,000. At Bath alone there were
built in 1876 vessels having a tonnage of
31,932.07; in 1877, 30,472.62; in 1878, 13,
639.24; in 1870 the amount was 17,383.59.
But let the Democracy come into power,
and carry out their declared policy of allow
ing American registration to foreign built
ships, and in three months eveiy shipyard
in Maine would he "deserted as grave
yards," and every ship carpenter seeking
work in vain
Boston' Transcript: The "Quaker vote"
in Maine is an element in the canvass that
the Democrats are not counting on. It will
come from the ballots of the decent Demo
crats in that State, who became disgusted
with the attempt at fraud, and who will vote
the Republican ticket iu the coming elec
tion.
TUe Greeubackors want men who regard the
triumph of truth and justice as something
higher than the mere success of a political
party or the realization of the loftiest dreams
of personal interests.—Chronicle.
Portland answers that advertisement.
It can supply that want. It has got the
goods. Thi· parcel is marked Cap'n Chase
—Tabulator C. H. Chase. If he doesn't
hold the ttiumph of truth and justice above
mere party success or personal interest then
he misrepresents his quality. He is a bar
gain. That style of goods is going dog-cheap
this year.
Tue Legislature to be chosen in Now Jer
sey this year will elect :t successor to United
States Senator Randolph. Ten of the mem
bers of the state Senate who hold over are
Republicans, and it will only be necessaiy
to elect one state senator to retain control
of that branch of the Legislature. The Re
publican majority in the House last year
was ten. The Republicans think they can
increase that majority this year.
Secretary Evarts declares in liis report
of the commercial relations of the United
States: *'It is but repetition to say that no
other country has such a favorable trade
showing as ours, and that the total balance
of trade in favor of all otUer countries does
not amount to one half the balance of trade
in favor of the United States." The Demo
crats say they are not satisfied with this.
They want a change.
Sexatob Conkling will enter the canvass
actively in the first week in September. He
will open by delivering a public address at a
mass meeting in New York. He will next
go to Ohio and make one or two speeches in
that State, and two or three in Indiana.

âWo pat off the ratificashen uv the l>ime

sons, viz., we wantid to wait till somebody had
tapped his barl so that the ratificashen cood go
off with some eclaw, and second—we hed to
wait tiUBoscom got a fresh barl uv likker from
Looisville. Yoo kant ratify a Dimekrafic
nominashun here on a half barl, and hev eny
enthoosiusm manifested. It ain't our style.
We held the ratification last nite. The
meetin-liouse hed bin decoratid by the patri
otic wiminin uv the Corners in the most gor
geous style.' The two candlesticks on-the pul
pit wuz furnished by Miss Meiindy Pogram,
beiu made from the thigh bones uv Federal
hirelings which perished justly, at Anderson
ville; the hammer yoosed by the chairman
wuz tne shiu bone uv a nigger who went up at
Fort Piller, and the Confedrit flag wuz taste
fully draped over portraits uv General Lee,
Jefferson Davis and uther heroes who gave
theirselvos to the cause of the sunny (now sol
id) South.
I commenst proceedins by remiudin the aw
jence that this wuz a solium occashun. For
the fust time for many yeers the Dimocrisy uv
tho country hed a chance uv succeedin in their
effort tr> rlo inetis tn t.li« enflFrîr» finn+k Λ»
tlio suffrin South lied a opportunity uv (loin
justis to tbeirselves. We hev eviy earthly
chance to succeed, and ef we don't, it's oar
fault. Ther is no more disfranchisement—no
matter how long a patriot served in the Con
fed rit Army, he can vote jest the same as tho
he hcd served in the Fedral Army. It is troo
we hev bin obleeged to nominate a Fedral soljer
but that shood be no objekshun. Ef ho fit on
one side he hez votid on the other with
commendable regularity, and it is time that
the South berried sich isshoos. For one, I lied
forgiven Giueral Hancock for drorin his sword
on the wrong side. I forgive him, and shel
vote for him, even ef he wuz agin us. I earn
estly hoped that his bein a Fedral soldier wood
not be held agin him, but that the solid South
wouid show its generosity by a broad and com
prehensive forgivenis.
Deekin Pogram sed tliet it wuz a bitter pill
for one wicli hed lost his niggers, and wlioos
fences and pertaters hed bin taken by Ginral
Morgan, and wich theFedrel Guvernment hed
refoosed to pay for, to vote for aFedrel Ginral.
It ruther riled him to vote for eny man wich
hed evor wore bloo. But ef it wuz nessary to
do so in order to ketch ennff Northern votes he
sposed he sliood hev to submit. He did sub
mit, and wood publicly say that lie forgave
Ginral Hancock for bein in the Fedral army.
It wuz the dooty ur the South to forgive, b -
cause we want jestis dun us. We want our
brave soljers penshuned, v.e wSnt the losses
inflicted onto us by a crooel and unjustifiable
war paid, and while it will do the present ger.
erasliun sum good, and we want Seceslin Crik
slack watered. If to do all this requires the
elecksluin uv a Northern soljer, so bo it. With
the understandin thet Hancock repents his
vandalism the deekin exprest hisself ez willing
to vote for Hancock. English hez nothin to
repent uv.
Issaker Gavitt sed he took a brorder vew uv
the nominashen. He hed assendid a higher
plane, and knowd no South, no North, no East,
110 West. He wuz for the hull kentrv. The
North wuz rich, the South wuz poor. The
North loved to accoomulate property, the
South to speud it. The North pade taxes, the
South didn't. Ho wood proudly appeal to any
one present toriteef lie hed ever pade eny
taxes, ceptin incidentally the accursed tax on
likker, and thet wuz mostly evaded by gittin
our supplize uv the Moonshiners. Wat folly
then for the Comers, wich wants a custom
house and a ship canal, and improvement uv
rfeceshu Crik, and a dozen other tilings wich
will take fruin the Njrth a million uv dollars,
and distribbit it down here, to stop to inquire
wat color the nominee uv the Dimokratic party
wore doorin the la'e unholy war. When lie
thot uv them apprcpriasliens he wuz reddy to
uuiiaiucr t ικ: umici war tjz over. >Y iien lie
considered that the South wuz the Dimekrafic
party, and thet whoever took a nominashen at
its hands gave a mortgage onto hisself in favor
«ν the South, he shooo hate liisself of ho tied η t
the sense to giv him his support. He wautid
pay for the property wich the Confedrits took
when they wuz ragin tliroo Kentucky, and lie
wantid appropriashens. Consekently he took
a broad, statesman-like vew uv the matter, and
shood vote for Hancock jist th'e same ez tho he
hed bin ez good aConfedrit ez Lee hisself.
He forgave him frum the bottom uv his hart
for bein a Fedrel soljer. Ginral Hancock
coodent help it.
Kernell McPeiter reaiarkt that in vow uv
the necessity uv bavin Suthern soljers pen
shuned, and Suthern loses made good, like
wise uv hevin some sort uv contrôle uv the
labor uv the slaves wich the infamus Linkin
unconstitooshenelly freed, he wuz willin to
forgiv the nominee uv the Dimekratic party
for barin arms agin the South. But lie felt that
sutliin wuz doo the South, sut h i η uv a sootb
in nacher. The South wuz proud, aud to con
stantly remind her uv her humiliasheu wuzn't
jist the thing. He wood se.jest to Hancock
that, inezmuch ez the South forgives him, that
he drop the title uv gineral and be spoken uv
hereafter ez simply Sir. Hancock. Shoorly no
man wich wood take a nominashen at' the
hands uv the Dimocrisy wood waut to retain a
title won by fitin agin that patty. He bed no
doubt that our nominee wood t«e the propriety
uv this act uv jestis the minit it wuz sejestid
to him.
The meeting thou endorsed the nominees,
tliohintiu that the sooner Mr. English opened
his bar., tiie sooner the Comers wood feel like
bein enthosiastic. Another resolooshun recitid
that while there wuz no question that iSam'l J.
Tilden wuz defraudid out uv the presidency,
yet his persistent refooslo to send money to
Kentucky to aid in a Dimekratic triumph
triumph mitigatid our greet and wood tinelly

Δ Maine Reminiscence.
The Supremo Court of the State of Maine
has just decided what is known as the ''Cum
berland County case." tlip details of which are
instructive. They illustrate very forcibly the
Democratic methods pursued in Maine and
elsewhere. At the September election in 187!»
William L. Prince was tho Republican candi
date for Commissioner for the County ol Cum
berland; and William I). Skillin was the Dem
ocratic candidate for that office. In making
up the returns, Gov. Garoelon and his Demo
cratic associates threw out the entire vote of
the city of Portland, the return being rejected
as illegal because two votes were returned as
"scattering," when the returns should have
given the names of all the candidates voted
for. This rejection of 6,'it l votes cast in the
city of Portland defeated the Republican can
didate on the face of the returns. But it so
happened that there were cast in the whole
connty l,lti8 votes for "Shillings," who was
not a candidate. Obviously, these votes were
meant for Skillin, but if the rule which had
already been applied to Republican candidates
were appealed to in this case, the rotes cast for
"Ski I lines''did not belong to Skillin, and be
was defeated. The Democratic canvassers
were equal to the occasion. Going over the re
turns, they erased the terminal "gs" from the
name of the Democratic candidate in some in
stances, and in others they drew a pencil line
through the letters to indicate that they did
not belong there. Then they gave the certifi
cate to Skillin, who entered upon the duties of
his office.
When Garcelou and the rest of the Demo.
cratic-Fusion managers were contriving the
hocus-pocus by which iliey expccted to over
turn a popular majority in Maine, they claimed
with a great show of virtue that they were
conforming to the strict letter of the law. In
one case there was a doubt whether the second
or "middle" name of a Republican candidate
began with an H or an Λ. The returns had
been tampeied with, and the candidate's name
appeared with the II in some cases, and with
the Λ in others, some person having joined
the upper part of the letter so that it appeared
like an A. There was no doubt as to the in
tention of the voters, none as to the alteration
of the returns. Iiut a Democratic junta
counted the vote as if it were intended for two
distinct persons, and the Democratic candidate
was thus counted in. Vet the same men who
refused to consider that there had been an
error in the returns, if not ι positive tamper
ing therewith, took precisely a different course
in the case of a Democrat, and, after making
the needed corrections, gave him a certificate
of election. Ànd this would have been of no
avail if the vote of a large city had not been
thrown out as illegal on a technicality which
was a far less fatal objection than that which
had been removed in the c*se of Skillin. The
hypocrisy of the Democratic managers, in
their pretense that they weie strictly carrying
out the law, regardless of party considerations,
is apparent. Skillin entered upon the duties
of his olfice, and Prince brought legal proceed
ings to oust him. The Supreme Court has
just decided in favor of Frince. The decision
is 011 the broad ground that an election is not
to be set aside and declared void merely be
cause certain illegal votes were received which
do not change the result of the election. It is
not pretended in this case that there illegal
votes cast, nor that there was fraud, intimida»·
tion or irregularity in the conduct of the elec
tion. But the clerk returned two votes as
"scattering," instead of specifying the names
of the persons for whom these votes were cast,
in a poll of 6,313 votes. This error was imma
terial. It could not in any way affect the gen
eral result. The return clearly showed the
will of the voters of the county, and "their
will as expressed by the ballot is what is to be
ascertained and declared."
In this case, it will be cbserved, the failure
of the Democratic Governor and Council to
appiy iu men canuiuaie, mkumii, me same
rule which they had enforced when Kepubli
can candidates could be counted out cuts no
figure in the decision of the Supreme Court.
But it is a matter of record, and it forms a
dark blot in the history of the Maine Democ
racy and Fusiouists. It was a deliberate and
willful conspiracy in which Garcelon and hi·
associates were engaged. Innumerable in
stances conclusively pioving the criminal in
tent of these men might be cited. It is too
lite to make any argument as to the wicked
ness of this conspiracy. The court of last re
sort, in every case, has decided against the
legality of the election certificates issued by
Garcelon, when such certificates were granted
on the "amended returns." Yet a prominent
^Democrat, being asked if the published details
of the Garcelon scheme would not affect the
election this year, replied in the negative, ad
ding that "the people of Maine did not care
anything about that business one way or anoth
er.'' This is an amazing statement. Is it possi
ble that the voters of Maine, after looking upon
one of the most dastardly political crimes ever
committed, aro now indifferent as to what be
comes of the criminals'.' The men who con
ceived and attempted to execute this daring
theft are now leading in the Democratic ana
Fusion ranks. It is incredible that a party
that deliberately sought to overturn tho em
phatically expressed will of the people should
be again intrusted with power. The crimes of
Garcelon and his gang were monstrous. They
were the crimes of the party behind these men,
the party which is now straining every nerve
to elect Plaisted. It is well that the infamous
conspiracy of the Garcelon gang is brought
again to men's minds. It was a piece of Dem
ocratic work worthy of the party, and very
generally indorsed by the party. It is not
possible that voters have ceased to take any
interest in a political crime so black as this
was.
A Greenbacker's Views.
Extracts From a Speech by the Former
Greenback Candidate for Governor of
Pennsylvania.
At a meeting in Pittsburg last week the
ir,„. α τ? \τ
for governor of Pennsylvania, said:
lu a HepubUcan forift of government such as
ours the majority must au<l of right ought to
rule, and hence tliu .National party submitted
to the will of the people, as expressed at the
ballot-box. The great issues then before the
country ifre now settled. The<|uestionof the cur
rency, like the old question of United States
banks, has been put to rest by that noiseless but
supreme agency the ballot. Life is too short for
us to attempt to revive the past dead issues.
We must meet the realities of the present,
and deal with them as we find tlicm The
people of these Uuited States are again callev
upon to choose the chief magistrate of the na
tiou. Iu exercising this high duty too much
caution cannot be observed. Passion aud sec
tional prejudice should not have a place in the
desire lor the best interests oi the general good
The triumph of one party or the other will set
tle the policy of the country for the next four
years at least. As there is 110 distinctive issue
upon which the National party can stand, the
contest will be between the Republican and
Democratic parties, and between these the
people must make a choice.
TU" history of the Republican party aud its
record are before the people. There is nothing
uncertain or equivocal about it. Its lines of
policy are distinctly marked. Even on
1 ha question of the currency the members of
that party gave forth no uncertain sound.
Their deliverancts were unhesitatingly made.
They went before the people on their utteran
ces. and the result of the election showed
where the popular heart beat. That there has
beeu at times much unwise and even bad legis
lation no honest man will doubt. That dishon
est and corrupt men have sometimes held
places is equally true. That such has been the *
lact as to all political parties, not only the lus
tory of our own, but ut all other countries,
abundantly proves. To iliscorn the ' evil and
Drovide the remedy rests with the poople,
through the agency of the ballot, where every
citizeii. from the highest official to the lowest
cottager in the land, has the same voice.
\Vliat the policy of the Democratic parly
lias been for the past twenty years would bo
difficult to determine. Looking at their utter
ances as expressed by the part} assembled 111
conventions, and taking these as a whole, the
casual reader would be at a loss to discover
whether they had either principle or policy.
In different Slates and even in different sec
tion s of the State, the same policy did not pre
vail. Une State declared lor hard money,
while another was in favor of the lejal-tender
money to be issued by the government alone
as the money for the people. By this vaci'·
lating course"they lost not only the confidence of
