BIILDERS AND THEIR MEN \T ODDS IN THE METROPOLIS. Nine Hour* Instead of Ten Demanded as a Day’s Labor by an Anny of AA orkmen 10,000 Strong— Several of the Dosses Accede to the Demand—Both of the Warring Sides Determined to Fight It Out. New York. July 21.—About 2,000 bricklayers, 3,000 laborers and 200 hod hoisting engineers and framers struck this morning because their employers re fused to grant their demands that nine hours shall constitute a day’s work in stead of ten. Those employers who de nied the request of their workmen sav that they can get other men to. take the places, and that whether they can or not It will he but a few days when the men will be willing to return to work under the old terms. THE BOSSES MUST YIELD. The bosses who granted tbe nine hours think that the others are foolish not to do the same thing, as they will have to yield in the end. Messrs. Andrews & Son, who have the new Cotton Exchange job, agreed to nine hours, and all their men are working as usual. The lirm has in its employ at present nearly *2OO brick layers and about the same number of la borers. They are all at work. OTHERS WHO GAVE IN, . k. Darragh, who is erecting buildings on Broadway, acceded to the demands of his employes and none of his men struck. Other large contractors notified their em ployes on Saturday afternoon that they could go to work on the understand ing that nine hours would constitute a day s work. As fast as the men struck mis morning they reported at the head quarters ol their respective unions. About thirty-five employers allowed their men to go to work on their own terms. BUILDERS CAN’T STAND IT. Hugh McMahon, who has charge of the erection of the new Cotton Exchange, said: ‘’The building trade is very lively just now, and I do not think that the boss builders can afford to have their men go on J* strike for any length of time without suffering great loss. I am pretty sure that nearly all the large builders will grant the demands of their men and avoid any further trouble with them.” THE STRIKERS CONFIDENT. The strikers claim that they can stand it longer than their employers, and that they will hold out for six months if neces sary. It was said by some of the strikers t .iat on many of the jobs the men had not been out ten minutes before they’ were told to go to work again, and that a large number of bosses had held out till noon time, and then yielded, thus not leavin ir many men on a strike. MORE OUT THAN FIRST ANNOUNCED. John Donnelly, the walking delegate of Bricklayers Union No. 4, stated to-dav that the principal employers holding out are kmg. Louden, Dean and Eidlitz. He said tuat there were-not 5,000 bricklayers on a strike, and that the framers,"hod hoisting engineers and laborers who quit work this morning number about 5,000. making about 10,000 in all. The members , that the number of men on a strike is much larger. They also state that those employers who have yielded to the de mands of their employees had done so merely* because they had contracts on hand which they were bound to finish within a certain time. BOTH SIDES CLAIMING VICTORY. At the headquarters of the striking bricklayers and laborers to-night it was stated that the fight was won, and that nearly all the builders had given in tn the demand n* *i—= <?.,,* i.kwmen, :jo claimed, are now on a strike. The Building'Associaiion, on the other hand, at their meeting to-night announced that only two firms had given in, and these were comi>elled to do so in conse quence of the nature of their contracts. Twenty-six members of the association, and eight firms, not member, had agreed to resist all demands made bv their em ployes. HIS OWN CORNS TREAD ON. The Cloud* Growing Blacker Over the Head of Atlanta’s Chiropodist. Richmond, Va., July 21.—The chiro podist known as James August Edwards, who was arrested yesterday* in Atlanta, Ga., as a fugitive from justice from this city, is held there on a charge of bigamy and the attempted murder of one of his wives. It appears that in Mav last he married Miss C. Boatright" here, and a month later, she having meanwhile willed her property to her husband, be sought to induce her to take a liquid, as he said, to quiet her nerves. She refused, and he then tried to force her, but being interrupted by a servant he threw’ the liquid out of a window and then lelt her. Suspecting that he wanted to poison her, she obtained a warrant for his arrest, but he had fled. The case was put in a detective’s bands with the above result. A telegram trom the Chief of Police of At lanta says, as announced in yesterday’s Morning News, that Edwards has a wile there, hence the double charge of bigamy aud attempted murder. An officer w ith tbe necessary papers w’ill be sent to Atlanta to bring tbe prisoner here for trial. Edwards hails from Tarboro, N.C. AT THE STATE CAPITAL. A Machinist’s Life Crushed Out—Re union of the Forty-Second Regiment Atlanta, July 21.—J. N.

The robbers did not molest the United States mails. A later disnatch from Boerne says that the road agents flanked the town’after the first robbery of the stage and again hailed it several miles beyond and robbed the mails. The offi cers are in close pursuit of the robbers.” SAVANNAH, TUESDAY, JULY 22, 1884. DEMOCRACY’S COMMITTEE. Senator Gorman Considered a* Sure of the Cbalrmanchlp. Washington, July 21.—^The Star this evening says: “The contest for the Chair manship of the National Democratic Committee is now’ between Senator Gor man and ex-Senators Barnum and Wal lace. It is claimed for Mr. Barnum that he has the support of the Tilden ele ment, and if this be so, he will probably be hard to beat. It is usual to permit the head of the national ticket to name the Chairman, and as Mr. Tilden’s old managers are now Cleveland’s right hand men the presumption is that Cleve will favor their choice. If Gov. Cleveland expresses a prefer ence, no doubt is lelt that the man he sug gests will be elected. Mr. Barnum, how ever, is reported to have said at Chicago that he did not want the chairmanship any longer. His health has been bad for several years, and it is understood that he assigned that as a reason for wishing to retire. It is maintained by some of his friends that he is not in the race, notwith standing the frequent mention of his name for the place. The prevailing impression is that ex-Senajor AVallace will get the place. He was tit the head of the Penn sylvania delegation, most of which went to Cleveland in time to do him good. Senator Gorman has some able backers, because ol bis skill as a political mana ger, and on the ground that both Con gressional and National Committees should be so organized ns to work har moniously together. It is evident, how ever, that this plan meets with strong opposition. It is contended that there is ample vyork for each committee in its own respective field, and that no one man can successfully direct both. The indications are that Hon. F. O. Prince, of Boston, will be re-elected Secretary. He has held the position for many years and has given satisfaction.” . T £®. N *ws correspondent learns to mgtit that Senator Gorman, of Marvland, will probably be chosen Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. This committee has not made and will not make any assessments on government employes of the Democratic faith. If w ill depend upon the voluntary gifts of those who are able to give.

The whole organization, he says, will give Cleveland their hearty support, and he will poll the entire Democratic vote ot the state, besides the large independent ac quisition. “Knowing my position with relation to Cleveland before the nomina tion,” he said, “you may judge that what I say is not idle talk. I op posed him then, but there will not be a man in the State of New Y"ork who will do more in an bumble way than I shall I shall work day and night for the ticket. No, sir, you may say that T ammany will not bolt." We don’t be-in our tine work until late, but will do as much of it for Cleveland as wo ever did for any one.” “Do you think that he can carry the state?” “He will carry the State by from 50.000 to 80,000 majority. He won’t get any* such a phenomenal majority as lie got for Governor, but he will poll more votes than Tilden did. If tho other States stand by him, a9 New Y'ork will, there is no doubt of his election. I haven’t adembt that bo will carry, Vnn- BUTLER A NONENTITY. “If Ben Butler runs on the Anti-Mo nopoiy ticket will he not draw from Cleveland?” “No; he cannot capture the labor vote. When the Greenback ticket was put up before they had their boxes at every poll and only got 1.800 votes in the State. Butler can do no better than that.” “How about the Irish vote?” “They are all right. Upon all tbe issues made against him, Cleveland will not lose 5,000 Democratic votes, and that is not a circumstance compared with what he will gain from the Independents.” “Is it true that John Kelly is to retire from politics?” “No; Mr. Kelly is going to work for Cleveland when the proper time comes. He will take his own time. He won’t be driven by George Jones and that class, but he will work all the same. There is not to be any quarrel. There is enough* patronage to go round, and as Kelly will get his share of it all will be well.” " Taking a New Tack. Washington, July 21.—The Virginia Democrats, the News correspondent learns late to-night, have temporari ly abandoned their purpose to de mand the poll books of the Readjuster election officers. They are trying now to get enough names upon an application to the Governor to ensure an extra session of the Virginia Legislature this summer at which the bill redistricting the State, passed by the Legislature at its last ses sion and held to be unconstitutional, may •be re-euacted in proper form. They have secured the signatures of all the members of the Legislature re quired by the State constitution to an ap plication for an extra session of the Leg slature with one or two exceptions. They will secure these additional names, they think, and so procure an extra ses sion of the Legislature. The redistricting bill will be passed in constitutional form, and the Readjusters will be obliged to de liver up the poll books. Voluntary Contributions. Washington, July 21. —The Republi can National Committee have decided to establish a sub-committee in this city, whose duty it will be to collect money for the campaign fund. The members of the sub-committee will not be in any way connected with the government service, and thus being exempted from the opera tions of the civil service law, they will extend their work in all directions. Gov ernment officials will not be assessed, but it is understood that if anyone makes a voluntary contribution the transaction will be considsidered private and confi dential. Opposition from Railroads. Washington, July 2L— Representative Phil Thompson, of Kentucky, his friends say, is having a hard time to get a nom ination because he is opposed by the Pa cific railroads, whose interests were un favorably affected by the bill he reported lrom the Pacific Railroad Committee amending the Thurman act. A similar fight is being made against other members of the Pacific Railroad Committee who voted for Thompson’s bill. Under the Civil Service Law. Washington. July 21.— There is a ten dency in the departments to make all the appointments where clerical work is to be performed come under the civil service law without regard to limit in salary. In several of the departments clerks getting as low as $720 per annum have been ap pointed under the law. A lady from lowa was appointed in the Post Oflice Depart ment a day or two ago at that salary after passing the requisite examination. ’ Wade Hampton Confident. Washington, July 21.— Senator Hamp ton, of South Carolina, who is in the city, says that the outlook for Cleveland and Hendricks grows more encouraging every day. He was an ardent supporter of Bayard, but be is now enthusiastic in lie half of the ticket, and predicts its suc cess. Minister Elmore Recalled. Washington, July 21.— Senor Elmore, the Peruvian Minister here, has been sud denly called home. There is a great deal of speculation as to' why this should have occurred just at this time. The troubled condition of affairs in Peru has made nec essary, it is believed, the presence of all her statesmen. Wiped Ont with Blood. St. Loos, July 21.—A special from St. Joseph says: “George Warharm and E. J. Harrison met in the woods one mile and a half east of Mound City last night and revived an old feud. Warharm shot Har rison in the face with a gun, at a distance of five paces. Harrison will die.” A Big Fool of Linseed Oil. St. Louis, July 21. —It is said here that a linseed oil pool, embracing the mills at St. Louis, Omaha, Burlington, Ottumwa, and other places was formed at a meeting a lew days ago, and that an effort is being made to bring in all the country mills. Falling by Unknown Hands. Danville, Ky., July 21.—Preston Sex ton, sixty-eight years old. was shot last night near Junction City and fatally wounded. A party of four men are sus pected of the shooting, but no causefis assigned for the deed. LONDON’S GREAT PARADE. 200.000 MEN MARCHING IN FA VOR OF THE FRANCHISE. Characteristic Emblem* Carried by the Different Division*—Countie** Thou sand* of Spectator* Viewing the Pa geant—Prominent Friend* of the Bill Cheered and its Opponent* Hissed without Fear or Favor. .London, July 21.—The procession of trades unions and others to take" part in the demonstration" In favor of the fran chise bill at Hyde Park this afternoon formed on the Thames embankment pre paratory to the march to the park. The weather was rainy up to 3:30 o’clock, but about that hour the clouds broke away and the sun shone out. All ap proaches from the Strand" to the embank ment were thronged. Thousands of people lrom all parts of the country’ covered the embankment between u haring Cross and Westminster. Scarlet bannerets indicated to the various trades unions the places where they should assemble. The great erowd manifested the utmost good humor and the best of order prevailed. No attempt was made to interfere with the procession. Radical political pamphlets found ready sale among the throng. The Prineo and 1 rincess of X\ ales witnessed the pro cession from Whitehall. At noon the organized trades unions assembled at bloan square. Paddington Green Euston Square, Islington Green, Clerkenl well Green, Finsbury Circus, the obelisk, Hlack t riiii s unci Orosvcnor GArdens and proceeded to the embankment. The political delegates wore colors. The streets along the line of march to the em bankment and the bridge across the Thames were packed, and traffic was greatly impeded. Much chaff was in dulged in by the spectators along the line ot march, especially when those takim* part in the procession were more than usually adorned. Several thousand agri cultural laborers from Kent and Sussex were marshaled at Black Friar’s bridge. ORDER OF THE PROCESSION. The procession moved in the following order: • ® Mounted farriers. Agricultural laborer*. 1 njvtneial deputations. 1 he Loudon Trades’ Council. Representatives from printing, book binding and papers. Iron, metal, clothing, leather, shippirir. build mg, cabinet making, fancy goods and general trades. Political clubs. Liberal associations. temperance bodies and Friendly Societies. Each section, as it arrived at the park, marched to the platform assigned to it, and the band played until the Chairman arrived. As the procession was starting from th3 embankment several loud explo- Sl m nS w £[ e hcard nt ‘" r the government The crowd were greatly frightened and thousands made a rush towards White hail, believing that the explosions were due to dynamite. The scare was ended when it was found that the explosions SL e . r ® nothing more than a salute the Whit e Horse Guards were firing in honor ol the birth of the Duchess ot Albany’s son. ’ The route of the procession lay along Parliament street, Whitehall, Charing Cross, Pall 31 all, St. James street and Piccadilly street. Before'the procession started the em bankment became a surging mass oi hu manity. \ tewed from liung Jury bridge it presented an unbroken array of human heads, relieved only by blue banners and the trees along the embankment. SOME OF THE EMBLEMS. The trade societies carried emblems of then respective crafts. Noticeable among 1 .. . ( .?. e “"i^.ifegJti\l'Q' , 3v , (fam and Eve after the fall. The agricultural laborers were loudlv cheered. A resolution prepared for submission to meet the protests against the rejection of the franchise bill by the irresponsible and unrepresentative House of Lords, ex presses approval of Premier Gladstone’s action, and declares that the continued existence of the unchecked po.ver of im peding popular will, which the Lords ex ercise, is not conducive to the welfare of the people or the peace and prosperity ol the country. A tombstone was carried in the proces sion inscribed ‘‘To the memory of the House of Lords, 1884.” Tlie dense masses of spectators along the route interfered with the progress of the procession. It took a full hour and a half to clear the embankment, and the end of the procession had not left Parlia ment street when the head had entered the Park. Bight lion. Joseph Chamberlin, Presi clent ol the Board of Trade, and the other ministers,witnessed the procession. They were loudly cheered. Some of the band's in the procession played the “Dead March in Saul.” W hen the procession had arrived at the park speeches were made and the resolu tions previously prepared were submitted and adopted. There was a heavy rain towards the close of the meeting. PROMINENT SPECTATORS. The Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in- Chiefof the British army; the Marquis of Hartington, Secretary of War, and Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Home Secre tary, viewed the procession as it passed the War Office. They were cheered by the members of the procession. People of prominence and note were stationed at various places throughout the route and watched the procession. Lord Kandolph Churchill and other well-known Tories were at the windows of the Carl ton Club and were vigorously hissed .by the passing throng. The Marquis of Salisbury’s residence in Arlington street was guarded by police. A slight commotion was created there before the arrival of the procession by a man crying, “Down with the Peers!” Order was quickly restored, however, and no disturbance occurred while the pro cession was passing. HAIL AS LARGE AS EGGS. New Hampshire and Nebraska Visited by Destructive Storms. Claremont, N.H., July 21.— The se verest hail storm ever known in this sec tion passed over Cornish Saturday after noon, beginning on the east side of the Connecticut river near Windsor, Vt., and was from half a mile to a mile in width. Small trees were taken down and the corn and grain crops ruined. On the side of Kenyon’s Hill, Cornish, hail stones were piled five feet high against the wall. In the rows in the corn fields there tvere hail stones as large as hen’s eggs to a depth of two feet. Windows in many buildings were broken. The loss is about SIO,OOO. NEBRASKA ALSO VISITED. July 21.—A special from “A terrific wind and hail here last night, and ex tended through the interior of the State. Reports from Merrick, Hall and Hamil ton counties show much loss to property and damage to crops. At Grand Island the roof of one of the largest shops df the Union Pacific Railroad was also blown off. B'or two miles around Central City small grain was beaten flat to the groimd, and hailstones fell as large as walnuts.” SHOT AT A CAMP MEETING. Maryland Negroes Ape Mepliistopheles when they Should have Prayed. Baltimore, July 21.—Late yesterday afternoon a riot occurred at a colored camp meeting four miles from Chester town, in which lour men were shot and several cut with razors or knives. Three or four negroes under the influence of liquor went to the camp ground and began a quarrel, which soon came to blows and then to pistols and knives. One man,Wm. Ashby, of Millington, was shot in the abdomen, and it is thought that he will die. Another had his face terribly cut. These two were the only ones who re ceived serious wounds. The Sheriff of the county was notified, and he sum moned a posse and succeeded in arrest ing four of the ringleaders, who were lodged in jail at Chestertown. Quiet was restored. There are several other assail ants, for whom the Sheriff is hunting. Jarrett’s Chances on the Mane. Washington, July 21.— The commis sion of John Jarrett as Commissioner of Labor Statistics is still withheld by the President, and it is believed that his chances of securing the place are grow ing less. Mr. Jarrett was formerly at the head of the Amalgamated Iron and Steel Association. A Foul-Mauthed Woman Is even worse than a foul-mouthed man. No one need be foul-mouthed if they will use Sozodont and rub it in well. Don’t spare the brush and spoil the mouth, as some parents do with their children when they withhold the rod.

LOGAN’S PEN LET LOOSE. THE TAIL OF THE REPUBLICAN KITE FORMALLY ACCEPTS. Protection the Threadbare Tune to Which the Lay I* Set—The Other Old Song* also Bather Discordantly Harped on—The Argument Topped Off with a Pot Pourrl of National MeddKe*. Washington, June 21.—Gen. John A. Logan's letter accepting the Republican A ice Presidential nomination is as fol lows: „ . - „ Washington, July 21, 18s4. zfoa. John B. Ilrndfrton, Chairman of the Committee: I)kak Sia—Having received from you on June 21 the official notification of uiy nnimna tlon by the National Republican Convention a* the Republican candidate forVicePrest- States, and considering it duty of every man devoting himself to tne public service to iifsums auv position to winch he may be called by the voice of his countrymen. I accept the nomination with a grateful heart and a deep sense of its respon sibilities; and if elected shall eudeavor to dis charge the duties ol the office to the best of my ability. PROTECTION TO AMERICAN LABOR. The resolutions of the platform declaring for a levy of such duties “as to afford securi ty to our diversified industries, and protec !L on right* aud wages ot the laborer, to the end that active and intelligent labor, as well as capital, may have its just award, aud the la qnng man his full share iu the national prosperity, ' meets my hearty approval. I all successful government it is a prims requisite th.it capital and labor should be upon the best terms, aud that both should en joy the highest attainable prosperity. If there be a disturbance of the just balance between them, one or the other suffers, hud dissatis faction follows, which is harmful to both. Ihe lessons furnished bv the comparatively short history of our own national life have been t.n> much overlooked by our people. The fundamental article in the old Democratic creed proclaimed almost absolute free trade, and this, too, no more than a quarter of a century ago. The low condition of our na tional credit, the financial and business un certainties and general lack of lirosperitv under that system, ran be remembered bV every man now in middle life. Although in the groat number of reforms instituted by the Republican party sufficient credit has not been publicly awarded to that of tariff reform, its benefits have, neverthe less, been felt throughout the land. The principle underlying this measure has been in process of gradual development by the Re pub lean party during the comparatively brier period of its power, and to-day a por tion of its antiquated Democratic opponents make unwilling concession to the correctness of the doctrine of au equitably adjusted pro tective tariff, by following slowly in its foot steps, though a very long way in the rear. The principle involved is one of no great obscurity, and can be readily comprehended by any intelligent person calmly reflecting upon it. The political and social systems of some of our trade-competing nations have created working classes miserable in the cx treme. They receive the merest stipend for Uieir daily toil, and in the great expense of the necessities o? life, are deprived of those comforts of clothing, housing, and health producing food with which wholesome mental and social recreation can alone make exist ence happy and desirable. Now, it the products of those countries are to be placed in our markets, alongside of American products, either the American cap italist must suffer in his legitimate profits, or he must make the American laborer suffer, In the attempt to compete with the species of labor above referred to. In the case of a sub stantial reduction of pay, there can be no compensating advantages for the American laborer, because the articles of daily con sumption which he uses—with the exception of articles not produced in the United States, and easy of being specially provided for, as coffee and tea—are grown in our own country, and would not be affected in price by a lower ertng in duties. Therefore, while he would receive less for his labor, his cost of liviug would not bo decreased. Being practically placed upon the pay of the European laborer, our own would bo de prived of facilities for educating and sustain ing Ins family respectably; he would be shorn of the proper opportunities of self improve ment, and his value !evn would oc lessened; the moral tone of the la boring class would suffer, and in turn tho in- 1 terestsof capita', acd the well being of or derly citizens in general, wott'd he menaced, while one evil would react upon another until there would be a general disturbance of the whole community. The true problem of a good and stable government is how to infuse prosperity among all classes of people—the manufacturer, the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer alike. Such prosperity is a pre ventive of crime, a security of capital, and the very best guarantee of geueral peace and happiness. The obvious policy of our government is to protect both capital and labor by a proper imposition of duties. This protection should extend to every article of American produc tion which goes to build up the general pros perity of our people. The National Conven tion, in view of the special dangers menacing the wool interests of the United States, deemed it, wise to adopt a separate resolution on the subject of its proper protection. This industry is a very large and important one. The necessary legislation to sustain tt'is in dustry upon a prosperous basis should be extended. No one realizes more fully than myself the great delicacy and difficulty of adjusting a tariff so nicely and equitably as to protect ev ery home industry, sustain every class of American labor, promote to the highest point our great agricultural interests, and at tho same rime to give to one and all the advan tages pertaining to foreign productions not in competition with our own, thus not only building up our foreign commerce, but taking measures to carry it in our own bottoms. Difficult as this work appears, and really is, it is susceptib e of accomplishment by patient and intelligent lubor, and to no hands can it be committed with as great assurance of suc cess ns to those of the Republican party. OCR MONETARY SYSTEM. The Republican party i the indisputable author of a financial and monetary system which it is safe to say has never before been equaled by that of any other nation. Our system of currency is most admirah'e in construction. While all the conveniences of a bill circulation attach to it, every dollar of paper represents a dollar of the world’s money standards, and as long as the just and wise policy ot the Republican party is continued, there can be no impairment of the national credit. Therefore, under present laws relat ing thereto, it will be impossible for any man to lose a penny in the bonds or bills of the United States or in the bills of the national’ banks. INTER-STATE, FOREIGN COMMERCE, AND FOREIGN RELATIONS. The subjects embraced in the resolutions re spectively looking to the promotion of our inter-State and foreign commerce and to the matter of our foreign relations are fraught with the greatest importance to our people. In respect to inter-State commerce, ttiere is much to be desired in the way of equitable rates and facilities of transportation, that commerce may flow freely between th© States themselves, diversity of industries and em ployments be promoted in all sections of our country, and that the great granaries and manufacturing establishments of the interior may be enabled to send their products to the scabbard for shipment to foreign countries, relieved of vexatious restrictions and dis criminations in matters of which it may em phatically be said, “tim% is monev.” and also of unjust charges upon articles' destined to meet ciose competition from the products of other parts of the world. As to our foreign commerce, the enormous growth of our industries, and our surprising production of cereals and other necess ties of life, imperatively require that Immediate and effective means be taken through peaceful, orderly and conservative methods to open markets which have been and are now monop olized largely by other nations. This more §articularly relates to our sister republics of panisli America, as also to our friends the ptople of the Brazilian cmnire. Politically we should be hound to the re publics o' our continent by the closest ties, and communication by ships and railroads should be encouraged to the fullest possible extent consistent with a wise and conserva tive public po icy. Above all, we should be upon such terms of friendship as to preclude the possibility of national misunderstandings between ourselves anu any of the members of the American republican family. The best method to promote uninterrupted peace be tween one and all would lie in the meeting of a general conference dr congress, whereby an agreement to submit all international differ ences to the peaceful decision of friendly arbitration might be reached. FOREIGN POLITICAL RELATIONS. The United States has grown to be a govern ment representing more than SO.OOO.fjOO people, and in every sense, excepting that of mere naval power, is one of the first nations of the world. As such, its citizenship should be val uable, entitling its possessor to protection in every quarter of the globe. Ido not consider it necessary that our government should con struct enormous fleets of approved iron-clads and maintain a commensurate bod v of veamen in order to place ourselves on a war footing with the military and naval powers of Eu rope. Such a course would not be compatible with the peaceful policy if ourcountry.ihougli itseems absurd that we have not the effective means to repel a wanton invasion ofjour coast ana give protection to oar coast towns anil cities against any power. The great moral force or our country is so universally recog nized as to render an appeal to arms by us, either in protection of our citizens abroad or in recognition of any just international right, quite improbable. What we most need in this direction is a firm and vigorous assertion of every right and privilege belonging to our government or its citizens, as well as an equally firm assertion of the rights and privi leges b longing to the general family of Aracr lean Republics situated upon this continent, when opposed, if ever they should be, by the different systems of government upon another continent. EQUAL RIGHTS OF CITIZENSHIP. The central idea of a republican form of government is the rule of the whole people as opposed to the other forms which rest opon a privileged class. But the disagreeable fact of the case is, that while, theoretically, we are in the enjoyment of a government of the whole people, practi cally we are almost- as far from it as we were in the ante-bellum days of the republic. There are but a few leading and indisputable facta which cover the whole statement of the case. In many of the Southern -States the colored population is in large ex cess of the white. The colored people are Republicans, as are also a consider able portion of the white people. The re- mainiug portion of tbe latter air Democrats In race of this incontestable truth these States invariably return Democratic majorities. In other States of the South the colored people, although not a majority, form a verv consid erable body of the population, and "with the white Republicans are numerically in excea* of the Democrat*, yet precisely the same po litical result obtains—the Democratic party invariably carrying the elections. It Is not even thought advisable to allow an occasional or unimportant election to be carried bv the Republicans as a “blind” or as a stroke of fin ease. Careful and impartial investigation has shown these results to follow the systematic exercise of physical intimidation and riolen-e, conjoined with the most shameful devices et or practiced in the name of free elections. So confirmed has this result become that we to face with the extraordinary that the Democratic party of the aonth relic* almost entirely upon the method* stated for its success in national elections. I Ins unlawful perversion of the popular franchise, which I desire to state dispassion ately, and in a manner comporting with the proper dignity of the occasion, is one of deep gravity to the American people—in a double sons , First. It is in violation, open, direct and ffagraut, of the primary principle upon which our government is supposed to rest, viz: that the control of the government is participated in by all legally qualified citizens, in accord ance with the plan of popular government, that majorities must rule in the decision of all questions. Second. It is in violation of the rights and interests of the States wherein are partieu larlv centered the great wealth aud industries or me nation, aud which pay win overwhelm ing portion of the national taxe3. The im mense aggregation of interests embraced within, and the enormously greater popula tion of these other States' of the Union are subjected every four years to the dangers of a wholly fraudulent show of numerical strength. I nder this system minorities actually at tempt to direct the course of national affairs, and though tip to this time success has not attended their efforts to elect a President, vet success has been so perilously imminent as to encourage a repetition of the effort at each quadrennial election, and to subject the inter ests of an overwhelming majority ol our leope. North and bouth. lo the hazards of illegal subversion. The stereotyped argument in refutation of these plain truths is, that if the Republican element was really in the majority thev could not I><> deprived of their rights and privileges by a minority; but neither statistics of popu lation nor the unavoidable logie of the situa tion can be overridden or escaped. The col ored people of the South have recently emerged from the bondage of their present po litical oppressors: they have had but fewV the advantages of education which might en able them to conijiete with the white*. As I have heretofore maintained, in order to achieve the ideal perfection of a popular government, it is absolutely necessary lhat the masses should beyeducated. This propo sition applies itself with full fore* to the col ,°, f th ? s, ’ util - Tl'ey must have bettei educational advantages, and thus he enabled to become the intellectual peers of their white brethren, as many of them un doubtedly already are. A liberal school sys tem should be provided for Urn rising gener ation of the South, and the colored people be made as capable of exercising tho duties of electors as the white people. In the mean- M of the national government to go beyond resolutions and declarations on mav be wilts power to secure tho absolute freedom of national ejections everywhere, to the end that our Congress may cease to con “VV 1 " 8 representing liciitious majori mnn ir via fcnple, thus misdirecting the popular will concerning national legisia tion, and especially to the end that, in I'res contests, the great business and other inte rests of the country may not be placed in fear ami trembling, lent an unscrupulous oTSfe majority* BUCCOed * -tilling the wishes In accordance with the spirit of the last res- Chicago platform, measures cv?] U * akcn a * °nce to remedy this great FOREIGN IMMIGRATION. Undor our liberal institutions the subjects and citizens of every nation have been wel comed to a home in our midst, nnd on a com pliance with our laws to a co-operation in our government. While it is the policy of the Republican party to encourage the oppressed or other nations and offer them facilities lor nil mission of" a' class of servile people who are not only unable to coniprehcud our Institutions, but in lisposed to become a part of our national family or to embrace any higher civilization than their own. To .admit such immigrants would be only to throw a retarding element into the very path of our progress. Our legislation should be amply protective against this dan ger, and if not sufficiently so now should he made so to the full extent allowed by our treaties with rricndly powers. the CIVIL SERVICE. The subject of civil service administration is a problem that has occupied the earnest thought of statesmen for a number of years past, and the record will show that toward its solution many results of a valuable and com prehensive character have been attained by the Republican parly since its accession to jower. In the partizan warfare mado up n die latter with the view of weakening it in tne public confidence a great deal has been alleged in connection with the abuse of the civil service, the party making the indis criminate charges, seeming lo have entirely forgotten that ic was unilcr the full sway of the Democratic organization that the motto **lo the victors belong the sianls” became a cardinal article in the Democratic creed. ith the determination to elevate our gov ernmental administration to a standard of justice, excellence and public morality, the Keptiblican party lias seclulously endeavored to lay the foundation of a system which shall reach the highest perfection under the plastic hand of time and accumulating experience. The problem ia one of far greater intricacy than appears upon its superficial considera tion, and embraces the sub-questions of how to avoid the abuses possible to the lodgment of an immense number of appointments in the hands of the Executive; of how to give en couragement to and provoke emulation in the various government employes, in order that they may strive for proficiency and rest their hopes or advancement upon the attributes of official merit, good conduct, and exemplary honesty; and how best to avoid the evils of creating a privileged class in the government service, who, in imitation of European proto types, may gradually lose all prollcieney and value in the balief that they possess a lifc calltng on|v to be taken away iu case of some flagrant abuse. Abe ihiukiug. earnest men of the Republi can party have made no mere wordy demon stration upon this subject; but they have en deavored to quietly perform that which their opponents are constantly promising without performing. Under Republican rule the re sult has been that, without engrafting any of the objectionable features of the European systems upon our own, there has been a steady and even rapid elevation of the civil service in all of its departments, until it can now lie stated, without fear of successful contradic tion, that the service is more just, more cfli eieut, and purer in all of its feature?!, than ever before since the establishment of our government; and if defects still exist in our system, the country can safely rely upon the Republican party as the most efficient instru ment for their removal. I am in favor of the highest standard of ex cellence in the administration of the civil ser vice, and will lend my best efforts to the ac complishment of the greatest attainable per fection in this branch of our service. THE REMAINING TWIN RELIC OF BAR BARISM. The Republican party came into existence in a crusade against the Democratic institu tions of slavery and polygamy. The first of these has been buried beneath the embers of civil war. The party should continue its ef forts until the remaining iniquity shall disap pear from our civilization under the force of faithfully executed laws. There are other subjects of importance which 1 would gladly touch upon dirt space permit. I limit myself to saying that, while there should be the most rigid economy of government! administration, there should be no self-defeating parsimony either in our domestic or foreign service. Ofiicial dishon esty should be. promptly and relentlessly pun ished. Our obligations to the defenders of our country should never lie forgotten, and the liberal system of pensions provided by Die Republican party should not be imperiled by adverse legislation. The law estab lishing a Labor Bureau, through which the interests of labor can lie placed in an organized condition, I regard as a salutary measure. The eight-hoar law should be en:orcedas rigidly a* any other. We should increase our navy to a degree enabling ns to amply protect our coast lines, our commerce, and to give us a force in foreign waters which shall lie a respectable and proper representa tive of a country like our own. The public lands belong to the people, and should not lie alienated Jrom them, but reserved for free homes for all desiring to possess them: and, finally, our present Indian policy should tie continued and improved upon as our ex perience in its administration may from time to time suggest. 1 have the honor to subscribe myself, sil*, your obedient servant, John A.
