ILAINM VILB SLANDERS
TtM Soooiod Knight Vents bis *i>ljnn on
the South-
On Tneiday evcoinjf. the 18lh, a
■ereiiatling party went to condole
wltb the defeated republican candi
date, atiiia home in Augusta, Maine.
Wo take the following extract from
bii glanderous speech:
The course of affairs in the South
baa crushed out the political power of
more than six million American citi
zens, and has transferred it by vio
lence to others. Eorly-two Presiden
tial * lectors are assigned to the South
on account of the colored population,
who with more than 1,100.000 legal
voles have been unable to chose a
single elector, even in these States
where they have a majority of 100,000
They are deprived of full suf
frage and theu' rights as citizens are
scornfully trodden under foot. The
eleven Stßtes that comprised the “r
-bel Confederacy” had by the census
of 1880, seven and ft half millions
population, 5,300,000 colored popula
tion. Tlie colored population al
most to a man desire to support the
Republican party, but by the sys
tem of cruel intimidation and by vio
lence and murder, whenever violence
and murder arc thought necessary,
they are absolutely deprived ot all
political power. If tho outiage end
ed there it would be bad enough,
but it does not stop there, for not only
it the negro population disfranchised,
but the power which rightfully and
constitutionally belongs to* him is
transferred to the white population,
enabling the white population of the
South to exert tin electoral iuflueuco
far beyond that exerted by the saitio
number of white people in the North.
To illustrate how it works to thedc
structiou of all fair elections, let me
present to you live Statos In the late
Confederacy and live loyal slates of
the North, possessing in each section
tho same number of electoral votes.
In the South tho stales of Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and
Bint lit Carolina have, in the .aggre
gate, 48 electoral votes. They have
2,800,000 white people and over
three million colored people. In the
North the Stales of Wisconsin, Min
nesota, lowa, Kansas and Califor
nia, have likewise an aggregate of 84
electoral votes, and these have a
white population ef 5,600,000, or just
double the tivo Southern statos
Which 1 have named. These North
ern stales have practically no colored
population. It is, therefore, evident
that the white mon in (hose Southern
states, by usurping and absorbing the
rights ef the colored man, are exert
ing just double the political power of
the while menlii the Northern states.
I submit, my friends, that such a con
dition of affairs is extraordinary, un
just and derogatory of (hit manhood
ot tlie North. Even those who are
vindictively oppoed,to uegros uffrage
will not deny that if Presidential
eluclors are assigned to the South by
reason ot the negro population, that
population ought to be permitted free
suffrage in elections. To deny that
clear proposition is to affirm tlmt the
Southern White tuan in tho Cult
States is entitled to double the politi
cal power ot the Northern white man
in the Lake Statos. It U to affirm
that the Confederate soldier shall
wield double tho iiitluence in the Na
tion that the Unioii soldier can. and
that the perpetual and constantly In
creasing superiority shall bo conce
ded to the Southern white man iu the
Government ot the Union. If thal
be quietly conceded in this genera
tion it will harden into custom until
the badge of Inferiority will attach to
the Northern white man as odiously
as ever a Norman noble stamped it
upon a Saxon churl. This subject is
•f tlaop imtii'vsi to thu working men
Of tli Norlti. W ith the Southern
democracy triumphant in tliuir States
and in the Nation, the negro will be
compelled to work for just such wages
as the whites may decree, wages
Which will amount as did the sup
plies of ths slaves, to bare subsistence
equal lu cash, perhaps, to 35 ceuts.
per day, it averaged over the entire
South. The white- laborer iu the
North will soou feel the destructive
effect of this upon his owu wages.
BLAINE RECKLESSLY LEADING
THE FRAUD.
The intimate friends of Mr. lilainc
hare been greatly surpt ts-.-d during
the past thirty-six hours to discover
that his phlegmatic coolness on receipt
of election returns has Completely de
serted him and he has been exhibiting
a pelulency pitiable to see. The dis
patches scut him by the national
committee have aroused him to an
excitable point. He did not scruple
to openly curse tho committee as im
beciles and was especially bitter to
ward hie old apologist, William Wal
ter Plielpe, of Englewood N. J.
I’beips promised Blaine that ho would
surely carry Now Jersey. Blaine al
leges that Phelps sold him out.
Phelps’ vote in New Jersey for Con
gressman runs ahead of the national
ticket. The last four days before the
election Phelps spent iu New York
harbor on his yacht, waiting for his
wife, who was expected from Europe.
He promised Blaine that he would
not leave his State. Blaine is convin
ced and has stated that Phelps has
played him false. The’Whole plan of
the national committee
has met Mr. Blaine’s disapproval,
lie telegraphed them to claim every
tiling. It was upon this dispatch
that they claimed Indiana, Virginia,
North Carolina and Florida in addi
tion to'New York. liitlic course ofa
few hours Blaine was amazed to learn
that the national committee had giv
en up alt these Statos - Exchange.
WHAT WE CALX. OTJB DRONES
(Loudon Truth.)
One of the uiqter ten thousand who
was visiting America, accepted the
hospitality of a gentleman in New
York. When taking farewell of his
host, the latter asked him what lie
thought of tho American people,
“Well,” answered tnc nobleman, “I
like (hem immensely, but I miss some
thing.” “Wbat is that 1” asked tlie
Yankee. “I miss the aristocracy,” re
plied tlie Englishman. “Wbat are
they ?” naively asked his host. “The
aristocracy ?” said tlie nobleman, iu a
somewhat surprised tono of voice,
“wbv, they are people who do nothing
you know ; whose grandfathers did
nothing, you know—in fact, the aris
tocracy.” Here lie was interrupted by
the American, who chimed in with,
“Oh, wo’ve plenty of them over here;
but we don’t call them aristocracy—
we call (hem tramps.”
THE NEW TOHKHEBaLD ON
BLAINBS SPEECH.
“We believe that no patriotic citizen,
bo lie Republican, Democrat, People's
Party man or IVobihllionisl, will
read the speech Blaine made at Au
gusta last night without thanking
God most fervently for tho deliver
ance of the people of the United (states
from tlie danger amt disgrace of hav
ing such adsmagoguo ami incendiary
for their President.
“It Is the first instance in which a
Presidential candidate maddened by
defeat, has tried to inoculate ids coun
try with sectional passions in revenge
fsr its choice of another man. Un
less wo underestimate the patriotism
of tlie people North and South
they will greet it with such scornful
anger every where, that It will be (lie
last instance, as well as tlie first, and
no future disappointed miscreant will
(taro dely tlie warnings.
“Iu the civil war one great crime was
attempted, which the hosoraelto bcl
ligorcnts on the other side regarded
with unanimous horror. Wcnieau tlie
attempt to inoculate theeountry with
yellow fever, but it pales in wicked
ness besides Blaine’s attempt to Inocu
late the country with sectional pas
sions, to tear open the healed wounds
of the rebels, to permeate the North
with ajsouse of humiliation from tlie
election of Governor Cloveladd to the
Presidency, to infect freedmen With a
tear of re-enslavement, to inspire the
white workman with the dread
of fi'eadmen’s competition In their
of labor and to impeach the sincerity
of allegiance of all Southern white
men. No rebuke is too screrr for this
viliianous speech and the shame of it
is aggravated by the fact that it was
as deliberate as it is dastardly. Blaine’s
words are not an unpremeditated ha
rangue of hot temper. They are
studied utterances of cold blooded
malignity. Siuco ho cannot rule he
would ruin, he would curse his coun
try with jealousy and misery, because
he hliusClfh jealous, discordant and
miserable. But we believe that there
is small danger of harm from such
words as his at this day, IVe have
faith that tho evil ho would wreak
upon his country will be visited on
his own head. If the Republican par
ty does not unload itself of Blaine af
ter this speech,it will add damnation
to defeat.
What a Mississippi Pilot Says.
Capt. D. M. liiggs, who is well
known at New Orleans and along the
Mississippi river, says, “I have beeu
suffering from dvspepsla for the past
five years, ami from broken rest, by
severe pants in the bowels rihl kid
neys. I tried every medicine recom
mended for these diseases, without
success. At last I used a bottle of
Brown’s lrou Ritters, which proved
a perfect success in mv case.” It
cures all liver, kidney and malarial
diseases.

Catarrh.
The China and Queeuwarc House

the largest lathe seutb. Mr. A. J.
Mcßride of this firm has been cured
of catarrh ef the nose of 16 years
standing by the use of B. B. 8., after
every known remedy and treatment
had tailed. B. B. B. cures catirrh in
a few weeks, after slothful stuff hss
failed for years. Write to bltn and
learn all the facts.
Xldaar Complaint.
Fer over six years I have been a
terrible sufferer from a troublesome
kidney complaint, for the relief of
which I liavs spent ever 1250 without
benefit; ths most noted so-called rem
edies proving failures. The ase of
single bottle or B. B. B. has been
marvelous, giving more rellefthan all
other treatment combined. It is a
quick cure, while others, if they cure
at rll, are in the distant future.
