SATURDAY EVEN'S. OCTOBER 2, 1880-
The tireeateekers.
The Greenback party is evidently te
be resolved into its original elements in
the het fight waging between the two
great antagonistic parties. Without a
particle of prospect of success even in a
single state, the Greenback organization
can have no influence except as it maybe
used for the benefit of one or the ether
of the real parties in the contest. -Ner
can it have any hope for greater strength
in the future by preserving its separate
organization and keeping in the field its
electoral ticket. There is nothing in the
signs of the times te premise it any con
version of voters. It has seen its best
days; and the monetary situation which
brought it into existence having left it
stranded high and dry, its wrecked form
is certain te disappear very seen under
the shifting sands. It must cease te be
known of men after the election ; and its
leaders, exercising ordinary sagacity
and a human impulse te abandon a hope
less wreck, are new prompted te hand
ever what fragment is left of their power
te one or the ether of the parties which
may be capable of rewarding their ser.
vice.
Weaver, the candidate for president,
proposes te take his chances with the Re
publicans, being himself an original Re
publican, and the mass of these with
Republican sympathies among his fol
lowers will fellow his example. The
Democratic portion will return te theif
first love ; and in our own state Frank
Hughes plainly intimates that lie does
net propose te let Weaver use the Green
back party as a tail te the Republican
kite. The correspondence which has
just taken place between these two
Greenback leaders shows already hew
their sympathies run and hew they stand
as between. Garfield and Hancock.
Weaver has shown by his interference
in Maine te prevent the fusion of the
Democratic and Greenback electoral
tickets, that he aims te help Garfield.
An independent electoral ticket there
would give the state te the Republicans,
and Mr. Hughes aptly says te him that
he does net desire te give him credit for
less intelligence than belongs te the ordi
nary human being, who is supposed te
intend what his action is clearly adapted
te bring about. When a separate electO'
tral ticket will give Maine te the Re
publicans Weaver desires te help them
by advising that it be kept in the field.
As the campaign progresses Mr. Hughes
and his fellows of Democratic antece
dents will be forced by the logic of the
situation te come out from the Green
back party and give their votes te Han.
cock; seeing that by remaining in it
they de net save their own ticket but
help the Republican, which they de net
want te de. They cannot have their
first love and would be foolish in the vain
strife for it te sacrifice their second choice.
Every Greenbackermust cheese between
the two principal parties if he would
make his vote count as he wishes it te
de. The rank and file may be sure that
their leaders will be sagacious enough te
de this and that they will be left in the
cold if they desire te stick te their hopeless
ticket. It is net even a forlorn hope that
they would cling te. The least wise of
them must see that in the present con
dition of business, and in that which
will exist for a number of years, there is
no possible chance for the popular en
dorsement of their theories. However
right they may think them, this is net
the era in which te seek their recogni
tion. Thej' must postpone their efforts
te a mere convenient season, and mean
while take a half leaf as better than no
bread, and cheese between the is
sues and the men that are represented
by the two parties of which one is bound
te be successful, as they Avell knew.
The World of. te-day publishes an ad.
dress of a number of Southern Republi
cans which gives their reason, for sup
porting Hancock. The address should be
read by every fair-minded man. In ad
dition te the information given by
the World, we can state that Geerge
Williamson, one of the signers of it, is a
native of Seuth Carolina, and a graduate
of the college of that state. He served
in the war en the staff of General Polk.
Soen after hostilities ended he joined the
Republicans, because he believed it was
the true policy He could have been
governor of Louisiana, but refused te
accept. He is well known and has a host
of friends from the Carolinas te Texas.
Alex. White, of Alabama, another
signer, is a man distinguished for his
legal knowledge, his literary culture and
unquestioned eloquence in the forum
and en the stump. In the Republican
party he has few equals and no superior.
David P. Lewis, the last Republican
governor of Alabama, who also approves
the address, is a lawyer of ability, a man
of gieat worth and of high social stand
ing. When such men leave the Republican
party it is plain there is something wrong
and the Seuth is net solid without a geed
cause.
Tue " business men" of the Eastern
cities must be getting terribly alarmed
ever the prospect of Hancock;s election.
Here are two sample paragraphs from a
private letter received at this office :
" In Philadelphia I called at a leading
publishing house. Of five members of
the firm, all Republicans, four will vote
for Hancock."
" In a notion house in New Yerk city
in which there are 38 salesmen and book
keepers, and of which I buy regularly,
there are usually 20 Democrats and 18
Republicans. This year they will vote :
37 for Hancock, 1 for Garfield."
Skxatei: Jenks, of Xevada, denies
that he has abandoned the rotten Re
publican ship and come en beard the
staunch and seaworthy Hancock bark.
This will be a disappointment te the sil
ver senator's well-wishers, who were
congratulating him en his lucky escape
from the disaster that is sure te come
upon him and his companions when the
gales of November shall lash the turbid
waters of the political ocean and sink
the notoriously unseawerthy Garfield
craft beyond hope of resuffectien. Mr.
Jenes, like Ephraim, alas! is joined te
bis idols.
Mb. Wm. H. Sikpsek, whilem the
staunch Democratic editor of the Belfast
(Me.) Journal, but who fell from grace
a couple of years since and carried his
newspaper with him along ever te the
Republican fold, has retired from Ins
position as leading editorial writer and
proprietor of that new rank Republican
organ. We are glad te have the assur
ance of Editor Simpsen in his retire
ment that the Ixtelligexcer is mis
taken in supposing that there has been
any intention en the part of Governer
Davis te "suppress enough of the Dem
ocratic vote te re-elect himself, " and
that that individual " has no mere con
trol ever the election returns than the
editor of the Ixtelligenxer." The
Journal has the honesty te admit that
Gen. Plaisted has a plurality of the votes
and declares its conviction that he will
be seated as governor, nas the Exam
iner heard the news from Maine yet ?
Say ?
Ex-Gov. Ccktix has been nominated
for Congress this year by the Democracy
of his district with a much mere hearty
acquiescence by the rank and file of the
party than before. His selection was
accomplished with a marked degree of
spontaneity and without any of the
outside interference which was se bitter
ly resented years age. Moreover, Curtin
seems te be giving his time and best
talents te the general cause of the De
mocracy, and under these circumstances
he will be heartily supported and tri
umphantly elected.
The Republicans of this city paraded
some eight hundred of their alleged
voters the ether night, and the Demo
crats saw them last night and went
about thousand better. New the Re
publicans propose te try it again and
we shall be glad te see them again.

but declining the proffered honor, stating

$270, and A. H. Champliu, his clerk, $175.
Mr. Champlin attempted te draw a re

by one of the robbers putting a bullet
through his coat sleeve. The ether pas
sengers threw away their pocketbooks
containing $1,500, when the stage was

William H. Fairchild, who has borne

alleged that French was enticed te Kansas
by Fairchild 'and his wife in 1878, under
pretenseef being taken care of by them,
and was there 'murdered in cold blecd.
The crime was disceveree by the chief of
police of Teledo, Ohie, through the prat
tling of Fairchild's little girl.
A Contrast. ,. '
Baltimore Garette.
A few years age no public man in the
country was held in higher or mere een
cral esteem than William M. -Evarts.
Thoughtful member of both parties re
garded him as a politician of elevated ami
independent views, who if called upon te"
fill an important cabinet position would
net fail te exhibit the best virtues of the
statesman and the patriot. Only four
years age 3Ir. Evarts, in hi3 famous
Centennial oration, breathed the lefty
sentiment of one who placed his coau ceau
try's geed above party weal or wee, and
had he retired from public life at that mo
ment he would have left behind the fairest
of reputations. But unfortunately within
six months thereafter he was called upon
te defend before the bar of public opinion
one of the gravest crimes against popular
liberty that was ever committed the
monstrous electoral fraud of 1870. With
shameful alacrity Mr. Evarts descended
from his lefty pedestal te wade in the mud
and filth of that disgraceful struggle. As
the advocate of Hayes before the electoral
tribunal he labored with all the casuistry
of the shrewdest and most unscrupulous of
barristers, apparcntlyjfergetting altogether
these elevated precepts of political moral
ity which he had inculcated in his Centen
nial oration of only a few short months
before. Mr. Evarts's cause triumphed
through forgery and theft. As his reward
he secured the office of secretary of state
under the fraudulent president, appar
ently his connection with that outrage has
dulled his conscience ; for we new find him
apologizing for the very things which he
once se earnestly condemned. In his speech
in New Yerk en Wednesday night Mr.
Evarts deliberately aud elaborately stulti
fied himself by making the narrowest par
t'sin argumentthathas yet emanated from
any Republican speaker in this campaign.
His address, in fact, abounded with state
ments which arc maliciously false and un
fair, and his reference te Mr. English was
worthy of the meanest of stalwart editors.
The worst of it all is that Mr. Everts knows
perfectly well Jthat there is net the ghost
of a chaance for the Republican cause, and
that, therefore, his veluntary'surrender of
his political virtue is as unnecessary, even
en the score of self-interest, as it is base
and wicked. Democrats have no cause te
harass themselves ever Mr.Evarts'soeurse,
however; for he himself has provided a con
clusive answer te his own labored periods,
and all Democrats need de in order te ex
hibit his gross insincerity in vivid colors is
te place his Centennial oration and his
New Yerk speech side by side and then
say te the peeple: "Loek upon this picture
and en this."

nALTIJIOREy FESTIVAL.
Elaborate Preparation ler a tirand Event,
The details for the celebration of the
150th anniversary of the founding of Balti
mere are nearly completed, ilic decora
tion of the city, it is believed, will be
general, the entire population having
joined in the effort te make it a grand suc
cess. The arrangements for the proces preces
sions include representations of almost
every branch of industry, as well as so
cieties and organizations, civil and military.
The U. S. steamers Kcarsarge and Vanda-
lia have been directed by the navy depart
ment te take part in the celebration. Ex
cursien tickets, geed from the 10th te the
20th inst., will be issued by the railroads
te and from Baltimore, aud a "committee
en public comfort" will have an office op
posite the Sun building, where visitors de
siring beard ana accommodation during
celebration week can receive information.
They mayor and city councils of Balti
mere and Mr. Rebert Garrett, in behalf of
the Baltimore & Ohie railroad, have
given a special invitation te the venerable
Peter Cooper, of New Yerk, te attend the
appreacdiug celebration of Baltimore's
150th anniversary. In their letter of invi
tation they say : " It is desired te testify
net only the respect that is entertained for
your personal worth and deservedly high
character, but the deep sense of obligation
for the service you rendered when, in the
summer of 1830, yen demonstrated en the
Baltimore & Ohie railroad, 'that it high
curvatures'te we the words of chief en
gineer, 'would net prevent the successful
application of the locomotive engine,' and I
although with our present lights we won
der that such a demonstration was then
deemed necessary, you are none the less
entitled te the credit of being the pio
neer in the application of steam te Ameri
can railways." Should Mr. Cooper accept
the invitation, the president's car " Mary
land" will convey him from Jersey City
te Baltimore, where he will be received
with special honors and made the guest of
the city and the railroad company.

Garfield or any ether Republican candidate

It's entirely unnecessary te ask General
Garfield's views en the subject as .his
record has been made se decidedly that
none can misinterpret it. He voted for
one hundred millions of Southern war
claims, which were paid te that extent
while the Republicans controlled Congress,
and he couldn't declare new that all such

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
GEN. ADAM E. KING.
EepubUcan .Meeting at the Court Heuse.
There was a geed audience at the court
house last niffht te hear Gen. Adam L.
King, of Baltimore. The general is a nu
ent speaker, and was listened te atten
tively for two hours.. He began by divid
ing the Democrats into three classes
. rt
War Democrats, Copperheads and Seuth
ern Democrats. The first he praised high
ly, and was surprised they should stay "in
such cucsed bad company. In the second
he included the great mass of Northern
Democrats, and he denounced them with
out stint, as "doughfaces, false te them
selves te their country and te Ged."
The third class he could excuse ; " the
Southerners were educated en wrong
principles and were very geed fellows and
tar be it from me te say aught against
them."
He alleged that the Southern Democrats
have the brain, skill and nerve of the
party, and insisted that Hancock, it elected,
would be powerless te resist their demauds
and hence Southern claims would have
te be paid.
He justified the electoral fraud of 187P,
and bitterly denounced the Tilden and Re
form movement and asserted that the sup
porters of Tilden were composed of the
rcr worst elements of the country.
On the tariff he was quite eloquent, but
said nothing new. It was the old stock in
trade argument.
The bloody ishirt was net waved much,
but the general said, "In the Seuth 10,000
men were killed for opinion sake and
would rise up as witnesses before the bar
of Ged en the last day."
The general closed with an appeal te the
old soldiers te rally areuud the flag.
He spoke highly of Hancock, and re
gretted that political principles compelled
him te refuse the general his support. Of
Gen. Garfield he said but little, aud never
pretended te defend him against the
many charges made by the Democrats.
It was a well prepared, and well deliv
ered speech, interwoven with touching ep
isodes and witty illustrations, but it was
without point or argument. The general
knew his part well, for he "had been speak
ing -10 days in Maine" and probably repeat
ing the same thing. May the success he
met in Maine attend him as he gees West
ward te rally the boys.
Had Mr. King's speech net been se long
Hay Brown could have had a chance. But
he hadn't; and as the audience preferred
seeing the Democratic parade te hearing
him, his explanation of why he brought
S3.000 te Lancaster te secure instruc
tiens for Grant and Quay had te be pest

THE 1I0(MIC PARADE
UNEQUAIED DEMONSTRATION.
I.ACASrEIi'S MOST UUILLIANT rO
JJTICAL. 1HSPLAY.
1,800 MEN IN LINE.
SIX BKASS BANDS.
Twe Hundred Mounted Men.
It is no exaggeration te say that the (de
monstration of the Democracy of Lancas
ter, witnessed in this city last evening, was
tbe most brilliant event of the kind that
has ever been seen here. The present is
confessedly the most exciting and enthn
siastie campaign ever experienced here
and however respectable the late Republi
can parade was, it scarcely amounted te one
half the number in line last evening, the first
general turn-out of the city Democracy
this year, which is yet likely te be paral
leled by the same party before the cam.
paign is ended. The uniform geed ap
pearance of the men, the illumination of
the city, the enthusiasm all along the
route, the fireworks, and the admirable
order preserved throughout,speak volumes
for the efficient organization of the local
Democracy aud the popular interest mani
fested in their success. All afternoon yes
terday there was a bustle throughout the
city, occasioned by the active preparations
going en in every quarter of the city, and
by nightfall the movement of uniformed
men toward headquarters could be seen in
every ward.
nag Presentation.
Prier te the march of the Ninth ward
club te the place of formatieu of the line,
the club, headed by the Eden
band, marched from the headquarters at
Arneld Haas's saloeu around Lemen street,
te the residence of Cant. Jacob Pentz,
where the lady friends of the club had as
sembled te present its members with a
flag. The club was drawn up iu line ou
West Lemen, joined by the club of Frank
lin aud Marshall college, and, addressing
them from the steps of Mr. Pentz's resi
dence, Mr. W. 17. Ilcnsel presented te the
Ninth ward club, in the name of the mem
bers lady friends, a handsome bunting
flag, eight feet by five, en a stafT. Mr.
Elim G. Snyder, president of the club,
received it iu a neat and eloquent address
of thanks, and the club moved off with
three cheers for the Democratic ladies of
the Ninth ward.
Formation of the Parade.
In accordance with Cel. Fordney's direc
tions, the clubs proceeded te the places of
formation assigned them promptly at the
appointed hour, and when the bugle
seuuded for the advance every street be
tween the depot aud Centre Square was a
blaze of light. At the first note the "six
teen big men," who were te lead the line,
caught step with the music and marched
quickly down North Queen te lead off iu
the advance ever the route fixed. As they
passed the Intelligencer office the fol
lowing enumeration was takeu of the
order of the precession aud the number of
men in line :

According te this count tlie grand
total in line at the time of the outset of
the march was 1,800. Anether count at
another point in the route by a prominent
Republican in the city was 1,811 ; ether
counts run from 1,794 te 1,860. In round
numbers it may safely be asserted that
there were 1,800 in line, of whom the col
lege club, mostly non-residents, the 7th
ward juveniles, tba visitors from near the
city asd the hersesea from the country
numbered abeat 350, leaving a net total of
1,550 actual Democratic voters of.Laneas ef.Laneas
ter city in the parade.
- As the precession' moved off through
the dense crowd gathered in Centre square
te see its start, past the Intelligences
building, gaily decorated with Chinese
lanterns, the fireworks committee, under
direction of J. Lr Steinmetz, esq., sent a
shower of Reman candles and rockets from
the reef. Colored lights were burned at
the corner, irradiating the square and the
streets for squares around. The scene was
one of rare brilliancy and enthusiasm,
which was taken up and renewed at every
point in the route. Frem the wagons, in
tbe precession,with fireworks there was an
incessant display and the multitude ou the
curbstone made the air ring with shouts of
greeting.
The illumination was very brilliant all
along the route, and as it would be tee
lengthy te publish the list of all whose
residences were lighted up, se it would be
invidious te particularize among the hun
dreds who vied, te the common advantage,
in the brilliancy of their special decora
tions. Flags, banners, portraits, mot
toes, Chinese lanterns and rows of
candles greeted one at every turn.

North Christian near Frederick, M.
V. B. Cehe's, Peter McConemy's and
many ethers were notable. Frederick
street, between James and North Queen,
was beautifully illuminated and there were
rows of an almost uninterrupted succes
sion en James and Mulberry of decorated
houses. In Maner aud Derwart streets
there seemed te be a universal decoration
and some of the finest devices wrought in
colored papers and with significant in
scriptions were seen in the Eighth ward,
which had geed reason te be proud of its
boys last night. Their fine appearance,
orderly marching and manly bearing at
tracted general attention.
The finest sight of the occasion was af
forded when the parade filed out Maner
street into West King and began its march
toward Centre Square. The torches glit
tered "like a swarm of fire-flies tangled in
a silver braid" as they came down the
hill, aud when the calcium light was
turned this direction it threw a golden
haze ever the whole line, through which
the precession moved en and reached the
top of the East King street hill before the
ether end had passed Mauer street corner.
The splendid design of Cel. Fordney te
show the whole line in one stretch was
then manifest, and hundreds of delighted
spectators applauded its successful execu
tion. During the passage of the parade
through the square there wasjanether gen
eral display of colored lights and fireworks
from the Intelligences building. This
was repeated when the line counter
marched te Centre square and the veterans
drew up in line in the south side and re
ceived the ether clubs who filed off te their
respective headquarters in the best of geed
order.
The whole affair was characterized by
promptness of action and completeness of
detail that reflected credit en Commander
Fordney, his staffs aud aids and the rank
and file of the clubs. It was a great
pageaut and had a royal welcome wherc-
ever it displayed itself. -
Ketes and lucldcuts.
Peter Weeds bravely carried the Third
ward banuer from oue end of the reute te
the ether and no coon dared te molest him
or make him afraid.
Matthew M. Diggs, Ninth ward banner
carrier, was also a notable figure in the
line.
Mr. Edw. Bookmyer, bugler of the
parade, was bugler of Ce. I, of the 12th
Pennsylvania cavalry, served in the army
three ycars,and blew that same bugle at the
battle of Gettysburg.
Newton Lightncr, esq., hail his house
handsomely illuminated, but, for some
uuexplained cause, the gas went out just
as the parade reached his residence and
only the third story decorations were
plainly seen.
A remarkably large number of the pa
raders wcre made the proud recipients of
handsome floral testimonials at the hands
of fair lady friends. Many of the
bouquets wcre real beauties and added te
the fine effect of the precession.
The nebby button-helo bouquets of the
Fourth ward club attracted considerable
attention.

S. Gan&'s Sen Jc Ces monthly circu
lar, speaking of the New Yerk market
says:
Notwithstanding the "Bearish" procliv
ities of our manufacturers, and we may
say nearly a total abstinence of expert de
mand, a geed business has been done ;
1379 crop or all kinds that contain geed
useful wrappers has been dealt in ana full
figures were realized, particulars of which
will be found in our list of sales below.
We trust that none of our friends im
agine that we favor high prices, en the
contrary, for years we have tried te im
press upon all the necessity of buying the
crops at moderate figures, but alas, in vain;
had such been done last season our mar
ket would te-day present a different ap
pearance, although at the present time
with the segar trade flourishing aud man
ufacturers fn but few instances supplied
with 1S79 tobaccos, the outlook for dealers
is enceuragiug.
r ine goods must rule higher, whilst ter
common and low grades the chances are
poorer, and te all holders of the latter
classes we say " de net miss any opportu
nities te dispose of these sorts."
Aneth r important fact looms up te the
astonishment of many, namely the greatly
overestimated yielding qualities of the
1879 crop ; this is, of course, an incentive
te manufacturers te press prices, but en
the ether hand a great benefit te holders ;
without a large expert outlet, our surplus,
at the time the 1S80 crop will be in condi
tion te work, will by no means be as large
as many predict.

while statistics usually lead operators

Of the new crop ('SO), we can hardly
speak definitely te-day the production
has been very larce but of its quality ana
soundness our reports are very conflicting.

This morning Jake Bcrtz, aloud-mouthed
Republican bully of the Niuth ward, re
ceived a geed treuueiug from a young
Democrat named Harry Bable. Bcrtz be
gan talking te an old man named Herr
about the parade last night, anf became
very abusive. Herr walked away from
him, net desiring te quarrel. Bable was
standing near by and he told Bcrtz that he
ought te be ashamed te talk in that style te
an old man. At this Bert z became very
angry and asked Bable whether he wanted
te take Herr's part. Bable told him that
he did net want te fight. Bertz walked
up an alley near where they had been
talking and drew a mark with his feet, at.
the same time bantering Bable te light.
He asked the latter whether he would
clear him of the law in case he whipped
him. Bable still said he did net wish te
fight, but assured him that there would
be no law suit if he did. Bertz
was net satisfied and appeared
te be anxious te tight, se he walked ever
aud struck Bable. who received the blew
en one arm and knocked Jake down with
the ether hand. He allowed him te get
up, and when he renewed the fight he
again sent him te grass. He then proceed
ed te whip him which he did in a very
artistic manner and in a very short time.
A number of persons witnessed the fight
and all t-aid that it served Bcrtz exactly
right.

Since yesterday we have learned addi
tional particular, concerning the death of
young Swisher, who was silVecr.tDd in a
limekilu. en the farm of Isaac Mont
gomery, near Quarryville yesterday.
It appears that he and his father,
Patrick Swisher, were engaged at picking
"core" from the top of the kiln, out
of which about 25 bushels of lime had
been taken muhe days before. While
at work the lime suddenly sank and car
ried the young man with it. He was com
pletely covered with lime, and when he
was taken from the kiln he was found te
be dead. The father of the young man
also made a narrow escape from being
killed, but he managed te get off the kiln
before he was carried down.

The fair of the Agricultural aud Heiti

attendance being rather small. The finance
committee have net yet footed up the re

the society will sustain a small less. The
time selected for holding the fair proved
te be a bad one. It was tee late te show
peaches, gi apes or even pears te advantage,
and the reilt political demonstrations be
