pares tbe result of Republican rule

GeN. Josepii Wheeler has been
nominated by the Democrats of the
Eighth Alabama district for Congress.
That district has been represented by
a Greenbacker. Weaver and De La
Hatyr have been in Alabama try
ing., to save tbeir man by stump
spealtibg.
Adsburn Birdsall, formerly a Dem
ocratic member of Congress from
New York, but for ten years acting
with the Repmblicans, writes to Col.
Forney that he goes with him for
Hancock, as “Democrats of the old
•ehool find sufficient reas m for their
course under existing circumstau*.
ces.”
The Democracy may as well pull
down its sign-boards, if we are to es
timate,' as do the Republicans, the
proportions of the fact that the “Na
tional Independent People’s Labor
Convention,” which met at Sharon,
Pa.,last week chose as their candidate
Garfield and Arthur. We d*nbt if
there are two hundred and fifty men
who, before last week, ever heard of
this organization.
The politics of the Independent
Headlight, at Dalton seems some
what varied. It claims to be a sort
of organ for the Greeubackers, and
yet it hoisted at its mast-head Han
cock and English immediately after
their nomination, and the name of
Colquitt for Governor and Dr. Fel
ton for Congress. Lately it has tak
en down Hancock and English and
Colqnitt and put up Weaver and
Chambers. It will be Garfield and
Arthur’s turn next, then Neal Dow
and his co-racer, we presume.
The New Orleans Democrat of re
cent date states that Mr. Clias.
Nathan, of that city sailed from New
York for Europe on the 21st of Jnly
with orders from Louisiana planters
to engage farm laborers to the num
ber oi over 600 families. The Deni*
ocrat considers this movement a most
important one to the future labor in
terest* of Louisiana, and states that
•bonId the present experiment prove
•11 that is anticipated, migrations
from Spain and Portugal on a very
mnch more extended scale will be
doubtless undertaken, one planter
having signified bis intention to try
to secure as many as 500 laborers for
his estates alone. The plan con
templated is to confine the immi
grants selected strictly to sturdy, in
dustrious persons, habituated to ag»
ricultural pursuits, and these, the
Democrat argues, will prove a last
ing benefit to the State, and predicts
th* advent during the current year
of an addition of several thousand to
the permanent agricultural classes of
Louisiana from this sou ce. ytea
i Le Yetlia* Last Saturday.
In these days of strange political
whims and caprice?, when conven
tions have met with such condemna
tion and have been claimed to so rare
ly represent the views andwishes of
the people, we think the Democracy
of Polk county might congratulate
tself on the resnlt of the meeting at-
this place last Saturday—upon the
number present and the seeming in
terest manifested by all classes of onr
citizens. Though we know there
are some who will honesily differ
with us, we believe from what we
coosider the best of evidence that
the delegates elected to Atlanta who
will support Governor Colqnitt in
the convention, represented the sen
timent existing in regard to the Gov
ernorship, among a majority of the
Democrats of the county. The meet
ing was fairly conducted with none
of the “cut and dried” characteristics
so often complained of, and all who
participated seemingly acquiesced in
the result. We believe in organiza
tion in the party,and especially when
it is a necessity in attaining the best
results, and we hope circumstances
may combine so that it may prevail
throughout all future deliberations.
Gen. J. B. Weaver, Greenback can
didate for President, made a speech
at Dalton last week. Weaver ought
to feel rather lonesome down here in
Georgia.
The nudity of the female bathers
at Long Branch is attracting a good
many sharks, and the baid-headed
ones are all rushing for the front
seats.
Tlie Cotton-Urowing States.
[Cincinnati Star.]
The forthcoming Census Report
will be a very interesting document
in many respects. It will be espe
cially interesting in the information
it will give as to the cotton interest
of the States of the South, of which
this great staple is the chief produc
tion. These States are Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisi
ana, Mississippi. North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee and Tex
as. The population of those States
in 1870 wa3 a little over eight and a
quarter millbns, that the war left
impoverished, and in many cases
loaded down with debt, and with
their labor system prostrated and
overtimed. From this condition, to
which the financial depression of
1873, that existed everywhere, North
and South, added ten-fold severelty,
.the South has for the past year or
two been slowly yet surely emerging.
The year 1878 was the beginning of
a genuiue revival for th;m, and 1879
was the brightest since before the
war. For ihe fiscal year ending
June 30tb, 1879, when something
like 5,000,000 bales of cotton were
raised, these ten cotton States haying
one-fifth the population of the Uni
ted States, contributed more than
twenty-two per cent, of the domestic
exports of the country. For the
past year the best estimates make
the cotton crop of the South 5,600,-
000 bales, worth at a fair estimate
not less than (225,000,000, which
vast sum was poured into the waste
places of the above ten States in coin.
The extent of cotton planted this
year embraces an acreage probably
ten per cent, greater than last year,
and the state of business warrants ns
in claiming that the remunerative
prices of last season will be main
tained. If this view is correct the
ten Southern States.of the South
will derive a revenue from this one
staple when harvested and marketed
ot some (250,000,000.
There are vast fields of valuable
cotton land remaining undeveloped
m a’l these ten States of the South
that only await the laborer to pro
duce; and this staple the United
States seems to possess a climate and
soil fitted to yield more abundantly,
better and more cheaply than any
other country on the globe.
What is there, therefore, to hinder
the South from becoming the equal
in population and wealth to the
rapidly settling Northwest, wl^ose
fields, it is true, are yellow with
ripening grain, but where it is im
possible for a cotton plant to grow?

Why She Decorated the Bear.
[San Francisco Post.]
While the procession celebrating
Memorial Day at Marysville was
wending its melancholy way toward
the graves of some more or less sup
positious Union soldiers in the vi
cinity, they passed a wayside iun not
far from town kept by a buxom wid
ow. Among the attractions for en
tertainment of passers by provided
by the aforesaid hostess was a huge
grizzly bear chained to a tree in the
yard, which intelligent animal was a
shining proficient in the usual bran
ches of ursine edneation, such as
drinking bottles of pop and the like,
besides being sometimes rented by
the widow to give eclat to an occa-
sianal Sunday bull-fight
On this occasior, however, instead
of being industriously engaged in
diluting her stock of fire water to the
standard Marysville proof, the widow
was discovered weeping bitterly, aud
the same time busily ornamenting
the grizzly’s neck with garlands of
flowers, which she arranged upon the
savage brnte by means of a long
pole.
At this astonishing sight the pa
rade halted.
“Guess she’s gone crazy,” said the
grand marshal. “Hello! Mrs.Jones,
what are you doing that for ?”
“Ain’t this Decoration Day?”
snapped the widow through her tear9.
“Why cert,’*’ replied the orator of
the day, who had been playing “old
sledge” with the chaplain i il the way
out.
“Well, then, what are yon staring
at ? This bear ate my poor dear hus
band sixteen years ago, and every
year I decorate his tomb,”
And the band struck up a dead
march as the proccession moved on.

THEIR LETTERS OF ACCEPTANCE.
Governor’s Island, 1
Nkw York City, Jnly 2.9. j
Gentlemen : I have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your let
ter, of July 13, 1880, apprising me
formally, of my nomination to the
office of President of the United
States by “the national Democratic
convention” lately assembled in Cin
cinnati. I accept the nomination
with grateful apieciaiion of the con
fidence reposed in me. The princi
ples enunciated by the convention
are those I have cherished in the past
and shall endeavor to maintain in
the future.
The imrteenth, fourteenth, and
fifteenth amendments to the consti
lion of the United States, embody
ing the result of the war. for the Un
ion, are inviolable. If called to tbe
Presidency I should deem it my duty
to resist, with all of my power, any
attempt to impair or evade the full
force and effect of the constitution,
which, in every article, section anil
amendment, is the supreme law of
the land. The constitution forms
the basis of government of the
United States. Powers granted by
it to legislative, executive and judi-
Spasmodic convulsions are fre

according to directions.
platform of principles adopted by
tiie convention, which fcordially ap
prove, and I accept it quite as much
because of my faith in the wisdom
and patriotism of the great states
man and soldier nominated on the
same ticket for President of the
United States. His eminent servi
ces to his country, his fidelity to the
Constitution, Union and laws; his
clear perception of the correct prin
ciples of the government as taught
by .Jefferson ; his scrupulous cure to
keep the military in strict subordina
tion to the civil anthoiities; his higii
regard for civil liberty, personal
rights and the rights of property, his
acknowledged ability in civil as well
as military affairs; and his pure and
blameless life, all point to him us the
man worthy of ihe confidence of the
people, not only a brave soldier,
great commander, wise statesman
and pure patriot, but a prudent,
painstaking, practical man of un
questioned honesty, trusted often
•vith important public duties, faith
ful to every trust, and in the full
meridian of a ripe and vigorous man
hood, he is, in my judgment, eminent
ly fitted for the highest position on
earth—the Presidency of the United
Stites. Not only is he the right man
for the right place, but the time has
cial departments define and limit the come when the best interests of the
authority of the general government.
Powers not delegated to the United
States by the constitntion, nor pro
hibited by it to the Slates, belong; to
the States respectively, or to the peo
ple. The general and State govern
ments, each acting in its own sphere
without trenching npon the lawful
jurisdiction of tbe other, constitute
the UnioB. The union, comprising
the general government with general
powers and the State governments
with State powers for purposes local
to States, it a polity, the foundations
of which were laid in the profonndest
wisdom. This is the Union onr fath
ers made and which has been so res
pected abroad and so benificent at
home. Tried by blood and fire it
stands to-dr-y a model form of free
popular government, a political sys
tem which, rightly administered, has
been and will continue to be the ad
miration of the world. May we not
say nearly in the words of Wash
ington: “The unity of the govern
ment whioh|con8titute8 us as one peo
ple, is justly dear to ns. It is the
main pillar in the edifice of onr real
independence, the support of our
peace, safety and prosperity, and of
that liberty we bo highly prize and
intend at evety hazard to preserve.”
But no form of government, how
ever carefully devised—no principles,
however sound—will protect the
right of the people unless their ad
ministration is faithful and efficient.
It is a vital principle in our system
that neither fraud nor force must be
allowed to subvert the right of the
people. When fraud, violence, or in
competence controls, the noblest con
st itutions and wisest laws are us less.
The bayonet is not the fit instrument
for collecting the votes of free men.
It is only by a full vote, a free ballot
and a fair count that the people can
rule in fact, as required by the theory
of our government. Take this foun
dation away and the whole structure
falls
Public office is a trust not a bounty
bestowed npon the holder. No in
competent or d.shonest person should
everbeentrusted with it, orif appoint
ed, they should be promptly ejected.
The basis of substantial, practical
civil service reform must first be es
tablished by the people in filling elec
tive offices. If they fix a high stan
darif of the qualifications for office,
and sternly reject the corrupt and in
competent, the result will be decisive
in governing the action of the ser
vants whom they entrust with ap
pointing power.
The war for the Union was suc
cessfully close-1 more than fifteen
years ag-.. All classes of our people
must share alike in the blessing of
Union, ami are equally concerned in
its perpetuity and in a proper admin
istration of public affairs. We are
in a State of profound peace. Hence
forth let it be our purpose to culti
vate sentiments of friendship and
not animosity against our fellow-citi
zens.
Our material interes!s, varied and
progressive, demand onr constant and
united vigilance. A sedulous and
scrupulous care of the public credit,
together with a wise and economical
management of our governmental
expenditures should be maintained
in order that labor may be lightly
burdened, and that a'l persons may
lie protected in their rights to the
fruits of their own industry. The
tinre has come to enjoy the substan
tial benefits of reconciliation, as
one people we have a common inter
est. Let ns encourage the harmony
and geuerons rivalry among our own
industries, which will revive onr lan
guishing merchant marine, extend
onr commerce with foreign countries,
assist our merchant manufacturers
and producers, to develop oar vast
natural resources and increase the
prosperity aud happiness of our
people.
If elected, I shall with- the divine
favor labor with what ability I pos
sess, to discharge my duties with fi
delity according to my convictions
and shall take care to protect and de
fend the Union, and to Bee that the
laws be faithfully ami equally execu
ted in'all parts of the cor ntry alike.
I will assume the responsibility, tnilv
sensible >f the fact that |p adminis
ter rightly the functions of the gov
ernment is to discharge-the most sa
cred dnty that can devolve upon an
American citizen.
I am very respectfully,
Winfield S. Hancock.
Indianapolis, Jnly 30, 188C.
To the Hon. Jno. IF. Stevenson, Presi
dent of the Convention; Hon.
Jno. P. Stockton, Chairman, and
other Members of the Committee of
Notification:
Gentlemen—I have now the
honor to reply to yonr letter of the
13th inst., informing me that I
was unaninously nominated for Vice
President ef the United Stats by
the late Democratic National Con
vention which assembled at Cincin ■
nati. As foreshadowed in the verbal
the delivery of your letter, I have
now to say that l accept the h : gh
trust with a realizing sense of its re
sponsibility, and am profoundly
grateful for the honor conferred.
I accept the nomination npon t
country require that the party which
has monopolized the executive de
partments of the General Goverment
lor the last twenty years should be
retired. The continuance of that
party in power four years longer
would not be beneficial to the public,
or in accordance with the spirit of
our Repnblicon institutions. Laws
of entail have not been favored in
our system of government. The
perpetuation of property or place in
one family or set of men has never
been encouraged in this country, and
the great and good men who framed
our Republican government and its
traditions wisely limited the tennre
of office, and in many ways showed
their disapproval of long leases of
power. Twenty years of continous
power is long enough, and has alrea
dy led to irregularities and corrup
tions which are not likely to be prop
erly exposed nnder the same party
that perpetrated them; besides, it
should not be forgotton that lour of
the last years of power held by that
party wer- procured by discreditable
means and held in defiance of the
wishes of tbe majority of the people.
It was a grievous wrong to eiery
voter and to our system of self gov
ernment, which should never be for
gotten or forgiven. Many of the men
now in office were put there because
of their con upt partisan services in
thus defeating the fairly and legally
expressed will of the majority, and
the hypocrisy of the professions of
that party in favor of civil service
reform was shown by pi icing such
men in office and taming a whole
brood of Federal officeholders loose to
influence e ections. The money of
the people taken out of the public
treasury bv these men for services of
ten poorly performed or not perform-
ed at all, is being used m vast sums,
with the knowledge, and presumed
sanction of the adminislration, to
control elections, and even mem
bers of the Cabinet are ^strolling
about the country making partisan
speeches instead of being in th’eii
department at Washington disenarg
ing the public duties for which they
are paid by the people. But with all
tiieir cleverness and alilitv, a dis
criminating public will no doubt read
between the lines of their speeches
lhut their paramount hope and aim
is to keep themselves or their satel
lites four years longer in office. That
perpetua'ing in power of chronic
Federal Oflice holders four years lon
ger will not benefit ihe millions of
men and women who hold no office
but earn their daily bread by honest
industry, is what the same discern
ing public will no doubt fully un
derstand ; and they will see also that
it is hi cause of their own industry
and economy, and God’s bountiful
harvests, that the country is compar
atively prosperous, and not because
of anything done by these Fedenl
officeholders, l’hecountiy is com
paratively prosperous not because of
them, but in spite ot them.
This contest is in fact between the
people endeavoring Jo regain politi
cal power, which rightfully belongs
to them, and to restore the pure, sim
ple and economical constitutional
government of onr fathers, on the
one side, and a hundred thousand
Federal officeholders and their back
ers, pampared with place and power,
and determined to retain them at all
hazards, on the other. Hence the
constant assumption of new and
dangeroas powers by the Genera!
Government under tbe rule of the
Republican party.
The effort to build up what they
call a strong government, the inter
ference with home rnle, and with
the administration of justice in the
courts ol the several States, the in
terference with elections through the
medium of paid partisan Federal of#
ficeholders, interested in keeping
their party in power and caring
more for that thau for fairness, in
elections; in fact, the constant en
croachments which have been made
by that party upon the clearly re-
ser'.ed rights of the people and
States will, if not clucked, subvert
the liberties of the people and the
government of limited powers crea
ted by the fathers, and in a great
consolidated central government,
strong indeed for all evil and the
overthrow of Republican institu
tions.
The wise men who formed the
Constitution knew the evils of strong
government and. a long continuance
of political power in the same hands.
They knew that-there was a tenden
cy in this direction in all govern
ments, and consequent danger to re
publican institutions from that
cause, and took pains to guard
against it.
The union of the States nnder the
Constitution must be maintained,
and it is well known that has always
been the position of both the candi
dates on the Democratic Presidential
ticket. It is acquiesced "in ever -
e ery legitimate way to eveiy citi
zen, native or adopted, in every sec
tion of the Republic, in the enjoy- G 1
ment of all rights guaranteed by the
Constitution and its amendments; a
sound currency of honest money, of
value aud purchasing power corre
sponding subsraaiiiily with the
standard recognized by the commer
cial world, and coi sisling of gold
and silver, and papier convertible in
to coin, will be maintained; labor
and the manufacturing, commercial
aud busiuess interests of the country
will be favored and encouraged in
; every legitimate way; the toiling
millions of onr own peopile will be
protected from the destructive com- *d.b.r.
petition of the Chinese, and to that
end their immigration to onr slimes
will be properly restricted ; pubi c
spirit will be scrupulously, main
tained and strengthened by rigid
economy in public expenditures, and
the liberties of the people and the
property of tbe people will be pro
tected hy a government of law and
order, administered strictly in tbe in
terests of the peeple, and not of cor
pora 1 ions and privileged classes.
I do not doubi the discriminating
justice of the people and their ca
pacity for intelligent self government
and therefore do noi doubt the sue.,
cess of the Democratic ticket. I't-s
success would bury beyond resurrec
tion sectional jealousies and ha r ds
which have so long been the chief
stock-in-trade of pestiferous dema
gogues, and in no other way can
this be so effectually accomplished.—
It would restore good feeling
between all sections, and make us in
fact as Well as in name one people.—
The only rivalry then would be in
the race for the development of ma
terial prosperity, the elevation of la
bor, the enlargement of human
rights, the promotion of education,
morality, religion, liberty, order, and
all that would tend to make ns the
foremost nation ot the eartli in the
grand march of hnmtn progress.
I uni, with great respect, very
truly, Wm. H. English.
