THE EVENING PRAYER.

.———

AFTER THE GERMAN, BY FRANCIS A. SHAW.

 

At nightfall, when the mother dear
Kneels by our children’s bed,

Their prayers to hear, I, too, draw near,
With hushed and reverent tread.

I listen at the chamber-door,
As guiieless lips repeat

That same “Our Fathef” o’er and o'er
In accents low and sweet.

When all have lisped the wonted prayer——
Sisters aLd little brother—

And “Amen" thrills the pulselcss air,
With “Good—night, dearest mother?"

I pass that threshold, poor an'd low,
That portal to a shrine,

With sacred mother love aglow,
And childhood trust-divine.

Aui I, too, pray, as my hand I lay
Upon each bright, young head :

“Father, however dark the way
These little feet may tread,

“Thou, who has lent our darlings breath,
Their guide and guardian be;
In weal, in woe, in life, and death,
We give them unto Thee."
fl
WESTPORT.

Mr. Frederick C. Foote, died September
11th, at his residence in the 70th year of his
age. ‘ He had been in complaining health for
some time, but did not take to his bed till
recently. A malignant disease tended to
keep him prostrate, despite the skill of
physicians and good care. Mr. Foote had
been a resident of Westport upwards of half
a century, working most of that time at his
adopted business, that of painting. In all
he was upright and exemplary, his ambition
being to do the thing which is right. He
was an active member of Temple Lodge, No.~
75, F. 85. A. M, and took a personal interest
in all who joined the lodge. His first asso-
ciation with the craft dates back into the
past, further than many ofjus can remember.
A firm believer in the christian religion, and
a listener to the voice of conscience while
dealing with his fellow man, he so lived
that at the last he was able to make his
peace with all the world, and finalfy to meet
death without fear. The funeral took place
Tuesday p. m. from the M. E. Church, Rev.
Mr. Platts officiating; and the burial in
Christ Church Cemetery, with- masonic
honors. Representatives of St. J ohn's Lodge,
Norwalk were in attendance.

Twenty years ago, Senator W. W. Eaton
standing in front of the village hotel haran—
gued about coming danger _to'the Union, ex-
pressing the opinion that a goaded South,
on account of slavery, would help it On.
He spoke. wisely, and the late Charles Chap-
man of Hartford, who was present, re-echoed
his opinions. W. W. as is well known
began at once to sympathize with the south,
and along with harping on state rights has
kept it up ever since. He is now trying to
help saddle the responsibility of the war
and a big national debt on the Republican
party.

The funeral of the late Captain Platt
Pearsell, who died Monday, Sept. 6th, in
the 90th year of his age, took place Wednes-
day, 8th, from his late residence, Rev. John
R. Williams of Christ Church conducted
the religious, and Rev. Mr. Hart of the
Congregational Church, the Masonic exer-
cises. The remains were interred in'a vault
in the Old Cemetery. Mr. Platt had been a
citizen of this town- nearly all his life. He
acquired the title of Captain more than two
generations ago as commander of packets
running between this port and New York,
when sioops, next to stage coaches, were
important mediums, enabling people to reach
the Metropolis, at what was then thought a
quick rate. Steamboats, such as they were,
existed, but no splendidly managed railroad
eastward out of New York, had been dream-

 

ed of. Sloops took the cream of public

patronage. Barring an occasional running
aground, or delays resulting from casting
anchor when a passing cloud threatened,
round trips were made inside a week, and
every traveler was satisfied. Capt. Platt
maintained to the end his views of the super-
iority of old methods over new, and, ten
yearsjmore than an octogenariau, came down
among the people of this generation, but to
see on every hand, “Young America's" bold
departures from established ways. He
joined the masonic fraternity 68 years ago,
in St. John’s Lodge, Norwalk, and was well
posted in the crafts mysteries. He held
peculiar, though honest views in regard to
religion and morality, and some of his argu—

‘ments pertaining thereto were unanswerable.

He was a deep thinker, and reasoner, though
many claimed his views were to rigid for
ordinary people to embrace. He had a strong
will and good memory, but in his late years
both were weakened by physical decay,
leaving him, as any of us may be left, to act
in that “Last scene of all, which ends this
strange, eventful history, etc.” PAUL.

 

 

Mr. Charles A. Dana thus justly and bean-
tifully eulogizes a departed, mutual friend:

Marshall 0. Roberts died at Saratoga yes—
terday morning. Suddenly. stricken down
in the fulness of life, and before age had
dimmed the brightness of his faculties, he
leaves behind him a vast array of friends
who will mourn his untimely demise with
the sincerest sorrow. His large heart, his
liberal hand, his untiring public spirit, his
ready sympathy with each benevolent _and
progressive impulse, his spontaneous kind:
ness, and his intuitive judgment wrll be

missed by many who had learned how to

prize them at their worth. His death is,
indeed, a public misfortune, and life and
nature seem less rich for this deplorable
event. And so, true friend, generous spirit,
m'anly heart, farewell,

 

Temperance.

In sentencing a murderer to death, Judge
Johnson, of California, made use of the fol—
lowing language: “Nor shall the place be
forgotten in which occurred this shedding of
blood. It was in one of the thousand ante—
chambcrs of hell, which mar, like plague-
spots, the fair face of our State. You need
not be told that I mean a tippiing shop—the
meeting place of Satan’s 'miniou's, and the
foul cesspool which, by spontaneous genera-
tion, breeds and matures all that isloathsome
and disgusting in profanity, and babbling,
and vulgarity, and Sabbath breaking. I
would not be the owner of a groggery for the
price of this globe converted into-precious
ore. For the pitiful sum of a dime he fur-
nished the poison which made the deceased a
fool and this trembling culprit a demon.
How paltrya sum for two human lives!
This trafilc is tolerated by law, and, there—
fore, the vender has committed an offense
not cognizable by earthly tribunals; but in
the sight of Him who is unerring wisdom,
he who deliberately furnishes the intoxica
ting draught which inflames men into anger,
and violence and bloodshed, is partrkeps

crimim's in the moral turpitude of the deed.-

Is it not high-time that these sinks of vice
and crime should be held rigidly accountable
to the laws of the’iand, and placed under the
ban of an enlightened and virtuous public
opinion ?”

~

Secretary Sherman shows a reduction of
the public debt for the month of Au ust to
to the handsome amount of $12,027300, or
about $8,000,000 a week. It is no wonder
that such a steady paying off of our war in-
debtedness astonishes the good people of
Great Britain. The credit of the nation
could not be in better hands than it is at
present. , 4

An Appeal to Young Men.

 

FROM A SPEECH OF, GENERAL GARFIELD AT
CLEVELAND LAST OCTOBER.

 

“Now, fellow citizens, a word before I
leave you, on the eve of the holy day of God
—a fit moment to consecrate ourselves finally-
to the great work of Tuesday morning. I
see in this great audience to—night a great
many young men, young men who are about
to cast their first vote. I want to give you a
word of suggestion and advice. I heard a
very brilliant thing said by a boy the other
day up in one of our northwestern counties.
He said to me, 'General, I have a great mind
to‘vote the democratic ticket.’ That was not
the brilliant thing. (Laughton) I said to
him, ‘Why '3’ ‘Why.’ said be, ‘my father is
alrepublican, my brothers republicans, and I
am a republican all over, but I want to be an
independent man, and I don‘t want anybody
to say, that follow votes the republican tick-
0! just because his dad docs, and l-huvc a
mind to vole the democratic ticket, just to
prove my independence.’ I do not like the
thing the boy suggested, butI did admire the
spirit of the boy that wanted to have some
independence of his own.

.“1 ow, I tell you young men, don’t vote
the Republican ticket just because your fath-
er Votes it. Don’t vote the Democratic ticket,
even if he does vote it. ( Laughter.) But '
let me give you this one word of advice, as
you are about to pitch your tent in one of the
great political camps. Your life is full and
buoyant with hope now, and I beg you when
you pitch your tent, pitch it among the liv-
ing and not among the dead. (Applause) If
you are at all inclined to pitch it among the
Democratic people and with that party, let
me go with you a moment while we sur-
vey the ground where I hope you will not
shortly lie. (Laughton) It is a and place
young man, for you to put your young life
into. It is to me far more like a grave than
like a camp for the living. Look at it i It
is billowed all over with the graves of dead
issues, of buried opinions, of exploded theo-
ries, of disgraced doctrines. You cannot
live in such a place. (Laughter.) Why, look
here. Here is a little double mound. I look
down on it and read “sacred to the memo—
ry of Squatter Sovereignty and the Dred
Scott decision.’ A million anda half of Dem-
ocrats voted for that, but it. has been dead
fifteen years—died by the hand of Abraham
Lincoln, and here it lies. (Applause) Young
man, that is not the place for you. ,
“But look alittle farther. Here is another
monument—a black tomb—and beside it, as
our distinguished friend said, there towers
to the sky a monument of four million pairs
of human fetters taken from the arms of
slaves, anb I read on its little headstone this :
1Sacred to the memory of human slavery.’
For forty years of its infamous life the Dem-
ocratic party taught that it was divine-—
God's institution. They defended it, they
stood around it, they followed it, to its grave
as a mourner,

- But here it lies, dead by the hand of Abra-
ham Lincoln. (Applause.) Dead by the
power of the Republican party. (Applause)
Dead by the justice of Almighty God. (Great
applause and cheers.) Don’t camp there
young man.

“But here is another—a little brimstone
tomb (laughter)-—and I read across its yellow
face in lurid, bloody lines, these words : ‘Sa-
cred to the memory of State sovereignty and
secesssion.’ Twelve million of Democrats
mustered around it in arms to keep it alive,
but here it lies, shot to death by the million
guns of the public. (Applause) Here it
lies, its shrine burnt to ashes under the blaz-
ing rafters of the, burning confederacy.) Ap-
plause.) It is dead! I would not have you
stay in there a minute, even in this balmy
(Laugh -
*ter.

“But just before I leave it I discover a new
made grave, a little mound-short. The grass
has hardly sprouted over it, and all around
it I see torn pieces of paper with the word
‘fiat’ on them, (laughteg) and I look down
in curiosity, wondering what the little grave
is. and I read on it :"Sacred to the memory
7of the Rag Baby, (laughter,) nursed in the
brain of all the fanaticism of the World,
(laughter,) rocked by Thomas Ewing, George
H. Pendleton, Samuel Cary, and a few others
throughout the land.’ But it died on the 1st
of January, 1879, and _the one hundred and
forty millions of gold that God made, and
not fiat power, lie upon its little carcass to
keep it down,down forever. (Prolonged ap-
plause.)

“0h, young man, come out of that!
(Laughton) That is no place in which to put
your young life. Come out, and come over
into this camp of liberty, of order, of law,
of justice, of freedom, (amen,) of all that is
glorious under these night stars.

“Is there any death in our camp ? Yes !
Yes! Three hundred and fifty thousand sol-
diers, the noblest band that ever trod the
earth, died to make this camp a camp of glo-
ry and of liberty forever. Tremendous ap—
plause.)

“But there are no head issues here. Hang

out our banner from under the blue sky this

night untilit shall sweep the green turf under
your feet. It hangs over one camp. Read
away up under the stars the inscription we
have written on it, lo! these twenty-five
years.

- “Twenty-five years ago the Republican par-
ty was married to Liberty, and this is our
silver wedding, fellow citizens. (Great ap—
plause.) 'A Worthily'married pair love each
other better on the 'day of their silver wed—
ding than on the day of their first espousals ;
and we are truer to Liberty to.day, and'dear-
or to God than we were when we spoke our
first word of liberty. Read away up under
the sky across our starry banner that first
word we uttered twenty-five years ago:
What is it? ‘Slavery shall never extend
over another foot of the territories of the
great West.’ (Applause) Is that dead or
alive P Alive, thank God, for evermore !
(Applause) And truer to-night than it was
the hour it was written! (Applause) Then
it was a hope, a promise, a purpose. To-night
it is equal with the stars—immortal history
and immortal truth. (Applause)

“Come down the glorious steps of our ban-
ner.’ Every great record we have made we
have vindicated with our blood and our
truth. It sweeps the ground, and it touches
the stars. Come there, young man, and put
in your young life where all is living, and
where nothing is dead, but the heroes who
defended it! (Applause) I think these
young men will do that. (Of course they
will!’

“Gentlemen,we are closing this memorable
campaign. We have got our enemies on the
run everywhere. (Laughter.) And all you
need to do in this noble old city, this capital
of Western reserve, is to follow them up and
finish it by snowing the rebellion under once
more: We stand on an isthmus. This year
and next is the isthmus between us and per-
petual victory. If you can win now, and win
in 1880, then the very stars in their courses
will fight for us. (Applause) The census
will do the work, and will give us thirty
more freemen of the North in our Congress
that will make up for the rebellion of the
South. (Great applause.) We are posted
here as the Greeks were posted at
Thermopylse,to meet his one great barbarian,
Xerxes of the isthmus. Stand in your places,
men of Ohio! Fight this battlc,win this vic-
tory, and then one more puts you in safety
forever!”

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLINY.

At the exhibition of fishing appliances
which recently took place in Berlin. an
electrical fishing apparatus attracted con-
siderable attention. This consisted of a kind
of small boat, worked by a screw, and caps.
bio of being directed to any required point
on the water. 0n arriving at this point the
boat anchors itself, and at the same moment
a hook and line are projected. The boat con-
tains a battery and an electro—magnctic ap—
paratus which is set in action by the closing
of the circuit, this being effected by the fish
in the act of taking the bait. The circuit
being thus closed, the fish is instantly hauled
into the boat, a bell being rung at the same
moment to signify that a capture has been
made. The boat is then drawn to ,the shore
by the means of a cord connecting it with
the bank.

After considerable Tnv'esrigationD.‘ Frank-
iaud Concludes that the persistence of fogs
in large cities is due to the fact that the
minute particles of vapor become covered
with an oily coating from the smoke of the
towns. ev‘poration of the fog being thus
greatly retarded. This is considered a satis-
factory explanation of the matter of “dry
fogs,” so often observed.

An agricultural journal tells of a man who
plants, two or three weeks after the crop is
planted, a new bill of corn in every fifteenth
row each way. This is the reason: If the
weather becomes dry during the filling time,
the silk and tassels both wither and dry up.
In this condition, a return of moist weather
revives the silk, but the tasseis do not re-
cover. Then for want of pollen, the silk is
unable to fill its-proper office. At this time,
however, the replantcd corn is ready to
supply fresh pollen, and the filling is com-
pleted.

Some experiments by a number of Ger-
man scientists seems so show that the nutri-
tive value of pea-straw is equal to that of
clover-hay. Oat-straw is inferior, both in
proportion of nutritive matter and in diges-
tibility.

The Swiss are said to be the only nation
in the world who have done nothing for geo-
graphical exploration beyond the limits of
their own territory.

The Director of a German insane asylum
expresses the belief that much of the insani -
ty in Germany may be attributed to the
overwork of children in the national schools.

In the course of a series of investigations
Prof. Geikee has found that in some cases
tombstones of marble are worn down a quar-
ter of an inch in less than a century by the
action of storms; in other cases the stone is
disintegrated internally, so that the very
substance of the marble crumbled away. On
the other hand, slabs of freestones and other
unlaminated sand rocks are so enduring that'
the sharpness of the letters cut uponthem is

 

scarcely blunted to an appreciable degree by

a century’s exposure.

It has been discovered that by breathing
rapidly for four or five minutes a state, call-
ed analgesia, is induced in which One’s sense
of pain is greatly diminished. This phe-
nomenon is now attracting considerable at—
tention, as it is thought that rapid breathing'
may be made to supplant theuse of the ordi—
nary anaesthetics in dentistry and minor
surgical operations.

About 1842 Dr. Montgomery noticed in the
hands of a native of one of the islands in the
Indian Archipelago the handle of a hatchet
formed of a very peculiar material which
became plastic in warm water and capable
of being moulded to any shape. This acci—
dental -discovery led to the introduction of
gutta percha.

Late observations by Sir John Lubbock
confirm the prevalent notion that ants have,
as means of communication, “something ap-
proaching language.”

A museum in the city of Mexico contains
a remarkable sword, made from an aeroiite
or meteor that fell in the State of Durango,
Mexico. A slab, weighing two pounds, was
sawed from the meteor, and presented to
Gen. 0rd, of the United States Army. Gen.
0rd sent the piece of meteoric iron to the
national armory at Springfield, where, after
considerable trouble in annealing the metal
it was at length fashioned into a small fancy
dress sword. p

Asweet, syrup—like liquid exudes from
the bodies of plant-lice (Aphides) which feed
upon the younger portions of trees. This
“honey dew,” as it is called, is frequently
so abundant as to cover the ground beneath
and in many places is usually spoken of as
“the oil from the trees.” Bees gather the
sweet exudation for the purpose of making
it into honey, and ants are also very fond of
it.

At Bath, England, there has been dis-
covered, about thirty five feet below the
present surface of the earth, a perfect Roman
bath, eighty feet long and forty feet wide.
the whole of the interior being lined with
lead three-fourths of an inch in thickness.

Investigation shows that the blood of the
Bengalee contains far fewer red corpusoles
than that of the European. The difierence
in question is believed to be due chiefly, if
not wholly, to the circumstances in which
the lot of each is cast, since the inhabitants
of swamps and jungles are supposed to be
necessarily of lower organization than those
or breezy and well-cultivated uplands.

A case is recorded of a remarkaqle fond-
ness of a kitten for.raw cucumbers, even
when covered with pepper.

 

 

Irish American Republicans.

The New York Tablet, which is perhaps
the most influential Catholic paper pub-
lished in the country, lends a very cordial
endorsement to the movement for securing
a greater degree of political independence
among Irish voters-“In a recent issue it
commends in strong terms the call for a con-
vention of Irish republicans to meet at Sara-
toga on the 27th, and proceeds to give some
good advice and to tell several plain truths,
as follows :

Should any one insult an intelligent Ger-
man by .telling.him that he must vote for
this party or that, he would indignantly re-
ply that his vote was his own and not the
politicians’, and that he meant to record it
as his conscience dictated for whoever he
thought the best man or phrty to forward
the interests of the country, and to maintain
our glorious republican institutions free and
untrammeled.

It. is this independence that makes the Ger-
man infiuence all powerful in city, state and
national politics, while the Irish exercise lit-
tle or no consideration, for the democrats
feel sure of their votes and give them no
recognition, while the republicans despair of
conciliating them.

This is so evident to everyone that it re-
quires no argument on our part to prove it,
and any Irish citizen who gives this subject
a moment's consideration must recognize the
fact that the Irish, though so numerically
strong, are politically ostracized, and all be—
cause they blindly follow the leadership of
cunning politicians who merely use them to
gain their own ends and throw sops in the
shape of small offices to a few whom they
find useful tools in their hands.

Without ' going into details we would
simply say that the Irish owe the democratic
party nothing, while it owes its very exist-
ence to their votes, and yet they have never
received in return anything but the crumbs
that fell from the political table.

With the lesson of 60,000 American dem-
acratic votes against Mr. Kiernan when he
ran for governor, and the still more damn—
able fact that if the most worthy Irish—-

American is put on the ticket, the demo-
crats, who claim to own the Irish vote,
soratch'him for a republican, is not this
true? Is not this humiliating in the ex-
treme ? . ‘ .

The Irish voters should rise in their man-
hood and independence and protest against
this vile-barter of their votes. ‘They should
if. possible, organize an. Irish independent
party, which could not be controlled either
by democrats or republicans. If this is not
feasible, they should stand by their rights
and obligations as american citizens, and only
(give their allegiance to that party which
:properly acknowledges their claims as citi.

Apostrophe to the Watermelon.

 

Come to the mortal as he sits

Upon a dry—goods box and sips

The nectar from thy juicy lips;

Come to the youngster as he flits
Across the high and peaked fence

And moves with ecstacy intense

Thy charms from off the native vino.
And thou art terrible! ‘
0 August-born monstrosity!

Incarnate caliioosity!

Beneath thy emerald bosom glow,

Like glittering bubbles in the wine,
The lurid fires of deadly woo;

And from thy fascinations grow

The pain,the cramp, the pang, the throe ;
And all we fear or dream or know

0f agony is thine!

 

What Republican Victory Now
Means.
(Stewart L. Woodford at Brattleboro.)

There is one sentence in the democratic
platform of which I approve most earnestly
and that is the one wherein they declare that
the right to a free ballot is the right preserv-
ative to all rights. This is a good statement
of republican doctrine. I remembered that
Hamburg massacre, and I read it again. I
recalled the Wholesale naturalization frauds of
1868 in democratic New York oity,and I read
it again. The doctrine is sound,but the place
and the preacher seem queer. The prophecy
‘5 the prophecy 0f Balam, but they into whose
startled ears it fell were indeed the prince
and armies of Moab. Had the southern dem-
crats believed this truth in 1830, we should
have been spared the horrors and untold
sufferings of the war. Did they believe it
today, and would they act upon it today,
at least five southern states would vote for
Garfield next November by great and decisive
majorities. The honest acceptance and prac.
tice of this truth by all democrats, north and
south. would be not only the sure defeat, but
the final dissolution of the democratic party.
Here are found the real lines of the pending
political contest. When the ballot shall be a ._
free in all the south as it is in all the north,s
it will be in order for Vermont to seriously
consider the propriety of honoring Mr.
Phelps with an election to her governorship,
but so long as the democracy enters a pres-
idential canvass with the unfair and unjust
advantage of13S solid electoral votes—the
vote of the entire south made solid by force
and fraud, by the shotfigun and the tissue
ballot and false count—so long Vermont has
neither the moral right nor political excuse
for faltering in her course. Her place and
duty are still at the front of the republican
presidential column. She took that leader—
,ship in 1856. For nearly a quarter of a
century her star has led the way and guided
our people, first, to the restriction of slavery
and the freedom of the territories, then to
the preservation of our Union, then to the
eufranchisement of the blacks, then to the
maintenance of the national credit and the
payment of the national debt, and last, to
the re-estahlishment of industry, of labor, or
business and of property, upon the firm basis
of financial honesty. Why should Vermont
falter now, when we are fighting the last
battle that can ever be fought in this country
on old issues if we are only victorious now?
Republicans defeat now may turn back the
hands of the clock for 15 years, because re—
publican defeat invites and means a solid
south for 12 years to come; but republican
victory now means that the solid south will
split, and split forever, before the congress—
inal election of 1882. Republican victory
now means the death and burial of old sec-
etionalism, of slavery in the south and the
coming in of a normal and natural condition
of politics, when men of like judgments, of
like instincts and of like hopes’ north and
south, can act together, wisely, patriotically
and as citizens of a common country. We
stand to—day in politics where our armies
stood in military afiairs six months before

, Richmond fell and. Lee surrendered.The cap-

ture of Richmond compelled the, surrender
of Lee and ended the confederacy. _So the.
democracy is almost at the last pitch now.
The defeat of the democracy to—day means
the final surrender of the solid south and
forever ends its dream of political power and
rule. When the solid south disbands, there
will be no call, no need for a solid north, but
on the ruins of sectional contest we may
build and have a solid nation, based on mental
interests, strengthened by mutual respect and
'kept by mutual affection.

 

Ability and Stability.
, At a meeting recently held in Dublin
county, North Carolina, by a missionary of
the American Sunday school Union, for the
organization of a union Sunday school, when
his address was made this response was
given: “Yes sir; we Methodists and Pres-
byterians in this neighborhood have tried
two or three times since the war to have
Sunday schools at our meeting houses, but
somehow we didn’t succeed. We let them
go down, and we ought to be ashamed of it.
But when I heard that an American Sunday
school Union man would hold this meeting
my poor old heart rose right up out of the
dust, and has been as joyful as a camp
meeting ever since. We have here about
four Methodist and six Presbyterian families,
and as many more outsiders. Now I move
that we unite Methodist ability with Presby-
terian stability, and see if we can’t work
together on this unsectarian grounds. The
motion was carried unanimously, and Ward
Union Sunday school was organized with
fifty members, and the speaker was elected
superintendent, and is a good leader. There
is but one man in the community who prays
in public. This missionary organized four
more new schools during the month—Ohm-

lain Union.

The First Gun.
When Gen. Woodford, speaking in Ver—
mont nearly a month ago; said that if the
Republican majority in the September elec-
tion should fall below 20,000 it would
presage the election of Hancock, but that if
it should exceed that figure it would mean
the success of Garfield, there, were not want-
ing Republicans who thought it a very rash
remark. We do not think the inference is
inevitable, either way, but the gallant ’Gen- _
eral certainly had the courage of his hopes
in making the statement. The majority has
overrun the 20,000, and bids fair to reach
nearly if not quite the Republican high-water
mark of recent years. Looking at the re-
suit from an independent standpoint, we
think it plain that the Republican front is
nnbroken,—that the.nomination of Hancock
and the call for a “change” have not made
any perceptible impression upon the voters.
The outcome of what has been in some re-
spects the most vigorous canvass of Vermont
made for many years, is a full vote, of which
each side gains, but the Republicans more
than their share. But if this does not show
a decided drift of the floating vote in either
direction, it indicates that the Republicans
are holding their own, and are able to call
out their full vote, which they claim is all A
they need to do to elect Gen. Garfield.
There can be little doubt that the course of
the Democrats in regard to the attempted
steal in Maine, and the policy pursued in
Alabama and other states to keep the South
solid, have combined to aw. ken in the minds
of present and former Republicans the feel-
ing so tersely expressed by Gen. Grant, “It
will not do to be beaten now."
