The Meaning: of It.
The meaning of it is the voters of
Vermont, and of every State, have
been aroused to the fact that the old
spirit of slavery still rides the South.
They sec that tiie white men of that
section are as linn in their determina
tion to deprive the negro of all polit
ical power as they once were in their
determination ta hold his body as
their property. They tsiw no crime
in owning him, in selling hi,,,, j
trampling on all his natural a fleet ions-
see none now in depriving him of hi..
vote ny threats, by starvation, by
violence or by fraud ; and they do not
stop at the shedding of blood to nc-
compnsn tneir purposes. -Tho vol era
of the North have learned this not
alone from the Republican news
papers and thirteen volumes of Con.
k111"' ii-pons, out irom the very
ups oi me Democratic leaders. We
give the voters of Vermont credit for
knowing that the future of American
liberty would not be secure if these
men, who archostile to free speech and
a free ballot, should gain absolute con
trol of the Government. If this Re
public is to endure, it must be ruled
by civilization and not by barbarism
It will live if there is universal Intel
igence and toleration, but it will not
live if hundreds of thousands of its
citizens are ground down into political
deaf-mutes, and kept in Ignorance by
a brutal aristocracy.
The meaning of it is that the Dem.
ocratic party, so long as it is domin
ated by the South, and the South is
ruled by the spirit of to-day, will
never elect a President of the United
States not if it fights through a hun
dred campaigns . There is the hand
writing on the wall. Let them read
it. New York Tribune.
Some time ago the California cor.,
respondent of the New York Herald
telegraphed that paper that the Re
publican managers In San Francisco
''gave up the state to Hancock, and
are bending their energies to save the
Henatorship from the wreck." The
San Francisco Chronicle says this is
undisguised misrepresentation, and
adds: "The Senatorshlp is already
safe for the Republicans uud the pre
sent prospect is that Garfield will
beat Hancock by a much larger plu
rality than Huyes'hod majority over
Tilden in 1876. The party is "better
organized than it was lour years ago,
and far more united. Tho Jndepen
dents, who then were a sharp thorn in
the Republicans side, have -disappeared
from every county, and will
nowhere ho seen or heard of in this
fiifbt."
1,1 M
After Maine, What I
Flillndelphia Tross.
The Republicans brilliantly carried
tho first skirmish line In Vermont; on
the second line in Maine we have suf
fered a reverse. To-day it is a disap
pointment; four weeks ago it would
have surprised nobody; four ' weeks
hence it may prove to have been a
timely tocsin of alarm.
At the outset it was recognized as a
very hard and doubtful battle. The
Rcpupllcans had been in a minority
of the whole vote for two years. They
had faced and fought n desperate and
prolonged struggle with an unprinci
pled and unscrupulous coalition. After
the most herculean struggle they had
still fallen short of a majority. Under
these circumstances, they entered the
contest with the odds against them.
A month ago our own despatches from
Maine foreshadowed a fierce and un
certain conflict. Since then, under
the heavy cannonading of Mr. Blaine
and his lieutenants, the Repub
lican changes have to the gen
eral eye seemed to be Improving, but
this prospect has proved to be delusive
There was one man who was not do
celved. Mr. Blaine has not. claimed
the State. He knew the desperate
character of the battle and the hazards
of the struggle. A combination which
did not hesitate at the infamous con
spiracy and usurpation of last year
which flagrantly and audaciously at
tempted to steal tliq State in the teeth
of the popular will would not scruple
at anything. But (here was one con
sideration more potent than all others
Maine stands alone and docs not share
the great business revival. Her chief
Industry is ship-building, and ships
arc not being built. Her chief rro
duction is lumber, and her lumber is
not going into keels and ribs. While
all the rest of the North brightens
with the gleaming sunshine of tiros
perity, Maine still suffers the blight of
depression. Four years ago there was
a cry for a change all along the line,
The other States have had theii
change in a new awakening of busi
ness and industry, but Maine is still
crying for hers. The difference is
palpable in the vote of last week and
the vote ot tins. crinont is lanrelv
a manufacturing State; she feels the
general boom and responds with a
splendid Republican majority. Maine
has an entirely different interest and
feels no such impulse.
There is not another Northern
State where the Grecnbackers are
strong, where thev can find the same
depression to feed on, or where they
liave any such combination with the
Democrats, ror the past two years
Maine has stood in an entirely excep
tional position. It is proved' bv the
contrast with Vermont this year and
bv the contrast, with Xi-w York
year. Taking the result in Maine at
me worsi, anil it oniy continues me
attitude of a year ago. What 'then?
When thft Pn.'ilitiniiista rurried n
majority in Maine, the Republicans
carried jsew ion; against a u
Democracy. To repeat last year
Maine, but it carries New York
united
loses
and
soves the country.
With this reverse in Maine con
fronting thnin Ht'iiiililinnua i-ill
renew the fight along the whole line
... 1.,. i i. , -.
wiin reuouuieu energy, w e Know
and understand all that it involves,
but wo mistake the temper of the
country if it does not rise to the high
demand. It means a stubborn battle.
It means hard work. It means that
the business men of the land must
wake up to the risks of Democratic
success, with all Its uncertainties and
dancers. Wc believe that thev will.
and that from now on the great
patriotic host will make a splendid
light. They have been awakened from
their sense of security to a sense of
peril. During the war the reverse on
a skirmish line only made the gallant
forces more alert and resolute Cor the
great struggle. And this is the old
tight over again.
A report from Missouri reached
the National Republican headquarters
on W ednesday evening from a prom
inent journalist in the Southwest, the
editor of the Carthage ISanacr. Sonic
extracts from (his report are encourag
ing. "Two years ago," say tho edi
tor, "only one Representative (Repub
lican) was sent from this part of the
State to the Legislature. I believe I
am fully within the probabilities
.when I say this year almost every
county which has heretofore been Re
publican will be recovered. We have
challenged our Bourbon friends to a
joint discussion, thus far without
avail. 1 believe, if it were possible to
make the same sort of canvass in
every county in the State that we are
making in this county (Jasper), the
electoral vote of the State could be car
ried for Garfield."
Boston Advertiser: ''To what ex
tent a protective tariff has strength
enen the finances of the country and
assisted in establishing it wo have not
the space to discuss. But the revenues
derived from it, with the encourage
ment it has afforded to struggling in
dustries which must have failed in the
dark days from whicli we have
emerged but for its fastering aid is a
sufficient answer. Without its bene
ficent influence much of the labor now
profitably employed would be idle,
and perhaps a burden on the com
munity, while the profits of that labor
now shared by employers and em
ployed, and coursing through all the
arteries of trade, swelling tho volume
of general business, would not be in ex
istence. - Business men should look at
business in a business way. and look
ing at it in that light it is impossible to
understand what good can be honed
for or expected from a change in the
National Administration.

A correspondent of the New
York Timet writes from Florida:
'The leading Republicans feel confi
dent, and they are thoroughly aroused
and working unitedly for the success
of the ticket, and their efforts ought
to be utilized and made effective by a
substantial recognition from the Na
tional Commltte.
A New York Tribune correspon
dent, writing of the old Greenback
heresies In the fourth congressional
district of Maine says: Tho Republi
cans have faced this issue boldly this
year,"and the whole region has been
carefully canvassed by speakers, who
dwelt chiefly on the financial issues
and the tariff. A vast amount of
sound political information has thus
been disseminated; and to-day, as a
result, the Grccnbacker is becoming
more and more a rare phenomenon."
Mr. Q. W. Atkinson, member of
the National Republican Committee,
of West Virginia, gives the most
encouraging reports of the degree of
interest manifested in his State, and
agrees with Mr. Canaday of North
Carolina in declaring that .should the
Republicans be victorious in Indiana
in their October fight, there is every
reason to believe that North Carolina
and West Virginia will fall into line
Republican States.
Mr. Potts, the Republican Gub
ernatorial candidate in New Jersey,
does not intend to pursue a stay-at-honic
canvass for tho office. He will
not confine himself to the large cities
where almost every intelligent man
can find all the facilities necessary to
keep himself informed as to what lias
been done, is doing, and is promised
by the great parties, but ho will strike
out into the pines of Ocean county,
tho marshes of Burlington and the
wastes und sands of Atlantic and
Cape May Counties, where the appear
ance of a candidnde has more effect
than any political document or docu
ments. A curious piece of information
readies Washington through reliable
sources front New York in regard to
the financial features of Democratic
politics in Indiana, and accounts for
the refusal of funds. It appears that
during the campaigns of late years
the larger share of the money to carry
the State was contributed from New
York, and now it seems that the
money has generally been distributed
among a select few of the managers,
instead of being put where in will do
the most good. The New Yorker now
decline to have anything more to do
with furnishing funds for the maln
tainancc of a few Indiana Democratic
politicians.
The New York Herald does' not
regard the result in Vermont us cal
culated to encourage or discourage
either party. It says : "As the great
merits of General Hancock do not
shake the party allegiu.ice of Vermont
Republicans, there is no reason for
supposing that he will draw off many
Republican voters elsewhere. The
same causes tend to produce the same
effects in all localities, and there is no
State in tho Union where tho re
splendent military record of General
Hancock is better known than in
Vermont. The result on Tuesday
shows the Presidential election will
be a strict contest between the two
great parties, und that the personal
popularity of the candidates will be
mere dust in the balance."
It is thought probable that when
the Tammany and Irving Hall Com
mittees of New York meet again,
something will ba done besides send
ing sub-committees to visit eaeli
other. Said a Democrat, who declared
lie had no respect for either faction, to
i reporter on Wednesday: "The idea
of these men coming together and de
ciding by lottery who shall govern
tlib great city and county ! Why, sir,
it makes the Democratic party of this
city tho laughing-stock of the country.
I have very good authority for
believing that before Tammany con
sented to go into this conference on
the basis that tho Mayoralty should
be surrendered to Irving Hall, the
former demanded and obtained from
Mayor Cooper his assurance to renom
inate Comptroller Kelly to his present
office when his term expires in No
vember. Tho whole business is buy
and sell."

Why Eli Perkins C!oes for Hancock.
1 am for the noble Hancock because
he isjdown on the Southern Unionist,
because he believes in disfranchising
the freednien of tho South who fought
against the grand old confederate stars
aud bars of their native States, and in
favor of our miserable Union flag. I
am for Hancock because the noble
Beauregard is for liiui; because that
self-sacrificing patriot Jefferson Davis
is for him; because that noble philan
thropist, Governor Blackburn, who
poisoned miserable Yankee women
and children witli yellow fever cloth
ing, is for him; because the heroic
commanders of Audersonville and
Libby prisons are for him, and be
cause all those grand old patriots like,
Robert Tombs, the noble Hamburg
Butler and the brave men who mur
dered that contemptible Union lover,
Judge Cbisholm in Mississippi are for
him. I am for Hancock because
those noble Southerners who shot
down seventy discharged black sol
diers and the six base Northern plan
ters at Cousbatta are for him. I am
for Hancock because - every noble 'old
slave master is for him, and because
every low negro soldier aud every
mean white Democrat in the South
and North who fought for the cursed
flag la for Garfield.

I A NEW DEPARTURE!
BEST PLOW IN THE WORLD!
THE SYRACUSE CHILLED PLOW CO.
of Syraouae, N. V.
Are now putting on the market a Plow that
Is as much superior to any Plow heretofore
made as the Plows ot the past few years have
been superior to those made hall a century
ego.
it combines all the excellencies of any Plow
In use.
It obviates all tue objections made to any
ether Plow.
In addition It embraces several new features
of the greatest value, for which we have ot.
talned exclusive Patents.
Its Bcain,Clevls, Jointer Standard and Wheel
Standard will be STEEL, and Its mold board
will be a composition of Steel and Iron chilled
under a process for which we have also
obtained an exclusive Patent. It will be
called
THE SYRACUSE
CHILLED STEEL PLOW
Its weight will be eighteen pounds less than
our present styles.
A first-class Steel Plow, made In the or
dinary way, full rigged, retails for twenty-two
dollars. Inferior steel Plows retail from six.
teen to nineteen dollars. .
The price of our new Plow will be but
Seventeen Dollars, and It will bo the
Cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board will outwear three of the
very best kinds of tue ordinary Btoel mold
boards. "
It will scour In 'soils where all steel plows
and all other plows have hitherto proved a
failure. ' -
With this Plow'wlU be Introduced a corru
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained a Patent, and which is
also a great Improvement, both as regards
strength and wear.
The Jointer can be shlftedso as to take
more or less land, and also more or less pitch,
and It can always be kept on a line with the
Plow. . . '
The wheel"wlll run" under the beam or one
sldo of It as desired, and always kept In line.
The beam Is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Plowing, and also for two or three horses.
The handles can be adjusted to accommo
date a man or boy, on the same Plow.
It Is a perfect Plow. J
Wooden beams are going out ot use because
they shrink, swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike. '
Iron beams are too heavy. ,
Malleable beams become demoralized and
bend, which Is much worse than to break.
A Steel beam Is the necessity of the day. It
is three times as strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
When im say a Hold board Is chilled, the
farmers know It Is so.
We do not palm oil on them a composition
of various metals and call it chilled metal.
We want agents for this new Plow In every
town In this State.
We can give but' a very small discount to
them, but we will pay the Railroad Freight.
We propose to place this Plow In the hands
ot Farmers as near the cost of manufacture
as possible.
it will be the bat Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall also be the cheapest.
Persons therefore who are not willing to act
as agents on the principle that "a nimble six
pence Is better than a slow shilling," need not
apply tor an agenoy.
No Plows on commission. All sales absolute.
IT This is the only steel Chilled Plow In.
the World.
steel costs several times more than Iron.
But this Plow, full rigged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold tor Seventeen Dollars.
Compare this price with that of any Iron Plow
ever made.
It is cheaper than any other Plow now
made would be at five dollars and a halt
Where there are no agents we will, on re
ceipt of Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any
Railroad station In the State and pay the
freight, Address,
