Poor Blaine

- - - . Another straw. IIow about Mame? Thrcc checrs for Maine. Thcresult in Mame suits us to a T. Maine is no longera republican state. Maine bas anotber case of sun-stroke. Maiuc sends greeting to a solid south. How does the news from Maine suit y ou? - ■ ■ Tbere is mourning in tbe republicau camp. ■ A uninber of bloody shirts for sale in Maine. The republicans feel down the motith over tbe resull in Maine. Twenty two Union Major Generáis have taken the stup in Indiana for Hancock. ■ i m The Democuat sympathises with Pattison, the crazy loou of the Ypsilanti Commercial. Maine, the home of Jim Blaine, wout back on Davis, tlie republican candidate for governor. Only a few davs before the Maine eleclion the Post and Tribune claimed 5,000 majority io thst stittc. Davis, tlie rt-publiean caDdidale for governor of OTaltie, Was dcfeated by over 2,000 iuajority. How vas dot for high? Pattiaon; of the Ypsilanti Commercial, says all democrats are rebels. Yet this crazy individual "expects" a legal now and then from demoerats in authority. Of the rcsult in Maine, the Inter-Oceau says it biings disappointment to the hopes and expectatious of the great majority of rcpublicans. Mr. Blaine thinks it ominous of national disaster- to his party of course hc means. : - If the republicaus love the soldiers so why don't thcy honor thcm with oflice? They blow about rebel brigadiers being in congress. Whose fault is it that uuiou generáis are not there? Why don't republicaus send them there? The republicans are inconsolable. Thcir defeat in Maine is a bitter pill, and while they have but little to say, they go about with long faces. Ask a republieau if hc has heard from Maine, and instantly a sad smile will overspread his countcnancc. Garfield is doomcd to defcat. The glorious work acconiplishcd in Maiuc is but the conimenceinent of wbat the democrats will do in Indiana and other northeru statcs on the second of next November. Backed by a solid south Hancock will be triumphantly elected. i ■ Several republicana bave expressed thcir disgust respecting tho course of the Detroit Post and Tribune, in publishing six or eigbt columns of murders which occurred in the southern states years and years ago. Most of thern when the south was uuder carpet bag government. ♦ The republican party is endeavoring in its greed to rob the Lord of tho credit for the bountifu) harvests of the present year, and republican papers teil us that the republican party is to bc Ihanked for them. Bcautiful tableau! the God and morality party robbing tbc Lord of his glorj ! The radical press and republican stump speakers would havo the country believe that itwas an awful thing for the democrats and greenbackers in Maiue to unite on a coalition ticket. Not one word though, about the republicans and repudiators fonning a combination in Virginia, to carry the state for Garlield. ■ A subscriber dishes it up lively to Chas. S. Gregory of Scio, who wanted ihe nomination for state senator at the late democratie couuty convention but got left. His political record killed him, and althougb he was shelved, lie again comes to the front, and will blow be satisfled with the nomination for representative. We cali the attention of demócrata of the third representative district to the lettel f rom "Occasional" in another column. Tbc chainnanship of the democratie county committee is in poor hands. Witli the right man at the head, tbo party would bnvc 200 more voters in this county to-day. It was only aftcr mucb arguing and coaxing tbat be ealled the meeting Tuesday niglit, and then he did not do ituntil af ter he bad board from Pond. The city committee were indignant, and were about to takc the matter into tbeir own bands, when the meeting was ealled. How near a battle did the inkslingers wbo are writing such mean, low, dirty lies abont Hancock and English, and tlic democratie party in general, ever get? We dou't believe one of them was eyer near tbe nrmy. Onr soldiers were brave inen, and therefore would not stoop to such dirty work. Every one of tbe cowardly maligners of tho soutli were skulkers, or bouut}r-jumpcrs or home guardt during tbe war. - ■ ♦ Tbe southern peopie took up arms because they tbought it was rigbt for them lo do so, and tbrough niany a bloody battle they upheld tbe honor of their cause. At last tbey were obligcd to lay down tbeir arms and peace was declared. In tbe course of time tbe republican party made citizens of these rebels and flnally gave tbem tbe right of franchise. And now we flnd tbe very party wbo did all this raving about a solid south. Is it any wonder that a people wbo have been abused bccause they would not vote for republican men and measures, who have been cried r.nd houned down, sliould vote asoné man.and this, too, after their sutes were made bankrupt by nortbern carput baggers.every mother's son of whom were republicans. Charles R. Whitman, wbo was beaten tbe last time he ran for prosecuting attorney by a shameful desertion of some of liis party, deserves and should get the cordial aud unanimous support of the democrats of Washtcmiw, for the reasons: First, he would make a thoroughly capable offleer, honest and efficiënt in discharge of duty; second. he lias worked faitbfully and well for the party, sacrificïng time, comfort, and practice, to the forwurding of democratie interest. - Ypsütintian. The above from a paper independent in politics is a beütting compliment to .Mr. Whilmau, who is entitled to the bcarty support of evcry democrat in this county. What he has done for tbe party in times past should not be overlooked, and when the time comes, let evcry democrat go to the polls and vote for bim. Show by your suffrages that you appreciate bis worth as a citizen, and as a democrat. - If the south is solid it is so through the course pursued by the rcpublican party since the war. The establishment and maintenanee of carpet-bag governments at first gave tliem the stait that way. and the bringing up of the old issues and figbtiug the battles of the rebellion. over agaiD at every election, together with thcir acoused slandering of soulhcrn pcoplu lias since torced tliem to reraainunited. Had there been any nobility, any humane, brotherly feclings in the leaders of the republicau party who dictate wbat the polioy of a campaign shall be, there would have been thousands of white republicana in the south to-day. But the repúblicas leaders do notdesire anything of the kind. ïhey could not then fire the northern heart, and by drawing pictures black as lindes, appcal to northern prejudices. Let Hancock and English be cleclcd and you will soon sec the blooly shirt cry go out of existence ; it ought to have gone years ago. There will be no sectionalism then, but the country will be allowed the peace and prosperity whicli the republicana have denied it, and the natioti go forward to .such prosperity as slie never knew before. .iet the rcbcllion rest for a ycar or two. - ►-- . In times past democrats have somctimes votcd out of compliment to republic-:m nominees for congress in this district, believing their clection was sure and certain und by large majorities. But every lemocrat in this congressional district should remember that we have a good show of elecüng our nominee, the Hon. Wm. 11. Waldly, of Adrián, and witli a long pull, and a strong pull, and a pull ultogelher it can be accomplished. What is needed is united action on the part of tbc democracy f rom now uutil thesecond of November. Washtenaw is democratie by sevcral hundred, but we must not lag in our efforts as democrats. Every man should put hi.s shoulder to the wheel and keep it movïng. Hard aud persistent work will teil. There is dissatisfaction in portions of this county among the friends of J. Webster Childs, over the nomination of the great bloody shirt waver, Willets, of Alonroe. ïhey, in common with the democrats of this district, believe that a change would be bencficial, and, as they know Mr. Wiildly to be an honorable gentleman, aman whose record is spotless, and against whom the republican press have not been able to say a word, they hope for his election, for he would ably represent this district in the national councils. We have them right in this city. And a more desplcable lot cannot be found anywhere. They declare with brazeneffroutcry, that tbe republicans fought the batles of the rebellion. Are you aware, Mr. liad, that even here in Ann Arbor, those who went fortb at their country's cali for men, out numbered the republicans two to one; that of the old scarred veterans who are resideuts of this place, a majorïty are democrats, and stood by their old comrade in arms, Gen. V. S. Hancock, who will again lead the country to a glorious vietory in November. When you talk rebels you insult the democratie soldiery of the North.who baretl their breasts to the storms of shot and sbell during the late rebellion. When you say that the democrats of the north are rebels, you lic. By your utterances you brand yoursclves as infamouscowards, anda major. Hy of the reading, thinking people,look uponyou as tho veriest of knaves. You hope by keeping alive the issues of the war, to make capital, and thus carry wbat you are pleased to term tbe doubtful states. Il will avail you nothing, for the people as in 1876. demand a change of men and incasures, aud by voting for Gen. IIiimcock, will bririg that change about. You miglit as well uuderstaud it ürst as last, that if Hancock has the vote that Tilden had in 1876, he will be president of tbe United States, whether or no. And in hisrigbts he will be backed by the gréat democratie party; for in Hancock it will have n leader, a man who is known cverywhere as bcing among the bravest of the brave. Wu -hould Ui uk that soiiie of the republican papers Unit publish such slush, such coutcmptible narrow-minded stuft - show ing the intense hatred and malignity of their natu res as the followtng extract, would at least be asuamcd to look decent pcople in the face: The demócrata who voted for accession ure lor Hancock. The demócrata who fired on Fort Bom ter are for Haccock . The democrats who toe down and cursed the Üld Flag are for Hancock. The demócrata who shot down the Old Flag defenderá are for Hancock. The democrats whostarved our soldiers to death in southern prisons are for Hancock. The democrats who tried to burn northero cities are for Hancock. The democrats who tried to murder Seward are for Hancock. The democrats who employedj. Wilkes Booth to assassinate Abraham Lincoln are for Hancock. The democrats who wore the Ku-Kluk costume are for Hancock. Had it nut been for the patriotism and loyalty of the democratie party of the north, what would have been the resul t of the war? Had it not been for such brave generáis as Hancock, Roseucraus, Siegle, Williams, Uichardson, Custer, and hundreds of others who rushed lo the defence of the natiou, what would have been the termination of the war? In the rank and 111c the democrats were as numcrous as were the rcpublicans. From the county of Washtenaw three democrats shouldered the musket to two rcpublicans. Cut now they are all traitors, all secessionists, all murderer8 and redhanded assassius. Shame upon a party that has no better argument to 'offer, líate, malignity and spleen are their sole and only argiunc uts. Appealing to the prejudices of the pcople is their only hope of success. They have siink so low that keepiug the bad blood of the nation stirred up istheir only desire. Are not the people tired of it? About twenty thousand pcople attended the democratie barbecue at Shawneetown, Illinois. One hundred animáis wore slaughtered, cooked, and eaten on the ground. Judge Trumbull, Gen. Black, Gen. I'arsons, and others.made speeches. Etopublican papera have claimed llitit the Staunton Valley Kepublican thatpublishcd the garbled speech of Wade Humpton was a democratie paper. This is not truc. It is a rcpublican paper, and ruisrepresented the sentiments of Hampton for political effect. - Sagiruiw Democmt. Mr. Ilayes has granted a pardon to. James Douglas, the postoftlce thief. The New York Sun wants to know whether the pardon restores '.bat eminent republicau to the full privileges of citizenship. If it does De Golyer Garficld will have one more vote than if it does not. - Jxmsing Journal. "Nevcr bef oro," says the New York Herald, "not even in the memorable campaigu of 1876, have such enthusiastic advices been received by the democratie uational committco as at present, aud nevcr, it is reported, have so many republicans announced an intention to support tho democratie lickel." The best sign we liave seen yet, is the desperation exbibited by the radicáis in many places, as sbown by such acts, as cutting down lLmcock poles, aud bannors. Shooting into democratie proecssions; assaultingdemocrals, and lying by wholeale in all their speeches. These are all sure BigDS that thcy feel the premonitory symp toms of defeat. - Ypsilanti Senttnel. At a large Hancock meoting at East Halilwin, Maine, an address was delivered by General Lee, of New York, a gentleman who has voted the straight republican ticket since the formation of the organization. He eommaudcd under Hancock at Gettysburg and was in a rebel prison eleven months. He made a fine argument, and announced bis intention to vote for Hancock. An Oh 10 mob seized Thomas McDonald, a farmer living in I'ickuway county, took him from his house in the night time and hung him to a tree until he was dead. It happened on the 31st of last month. This is not a southern outrage. No; if it had lappened in a southoni state, tbough, it TOtud have furntsbed material for more han a dozen blood curdling tales; as it is, t is doubtful if the organs hoar about it. Why not vote Bancoek? Why not vote for a man who lias fougbt bravtly 'or liis country? Why not vote for a man vho wears a "bloody shirt" in the service )f his country? Why not vote for a man against whom Ji is bitterest politica] eoemes can urge not one word, ag&inst whose character and reputaüon slander ban 110 ougue? Why not vote for a noble and heroic soldier añil a pure and spotlcss patriot?- -Vímí Dcmocrttt. Mr. John A. Joyce, who, several ye&rs ago was gazing tkroUgh the bars of the Missouri penitentiary, a convict, of oiur of hc infamous gang of whiskey llueves, is now writing campaign poclry for the íarficld people. Dick Barrington, of "elaware, the notorious safe burglar who lourished in Washington in the. latlcrdays of Grant's administration, is making imnense Garficld speeches. Now, by Saint ?aul, the work goes bravcly on! Return thanks to Providcnce for two rear of bountifu] bar vest; give credit to lemocratic economy in the cutting down of the cxDen3es of the government; award o the people a f uil share of praise for industry and patience uuder linancial stress jrought about by republban iuanciering, then if thero remains any credit for the long looked for era ef prosperity, ascribo it to the al most universal :elief that the days of republican misrule aro about over. Tliere' s light ahead. Colonel McCahnont, gradúate of West Point of 1842, who was speaker of the Pennsylvania house of representativos in 1850, presiding judge of hls district from 185üto 1861, whon he resigned to take cornmand of the Tcnth Regiment Pennsylvania Reserves, and who lias been a prominent republican since 1801, bas written to the Venango Spectator, of Franklin, Pa., a letter in which he repudiates Garfleld and Arthur, and declares that hc will support Hancock and Englisb. Dick Trcvellick, of Detroit, whohasbut two enemics on carth, - tho Englisb dictionary and the man who wears clcau shirt.s, - made tbe discovery, a few ilavs since that somebody or otlier had said something about the laborer, and thereupon committed a fiendish assault upon the Euglish language, cutting and niiiiiglinK the most inoffensive and smallest words beyoud recognition, to the extent of about. two columns.

Experience bas demonstrated that so far from Mr. Shurz being able to carry'the Germán vote in his pockcl, and to dispos Of it to their detriment aud bis own personal advantage, his assumption israther hopeful than hurtful tohis opponcnts.and intelligent Gcrmims rfsent the reflèction which this shrewd politioil time-server casts upou tbcin. Tho Germán vote is divided on the great issues of the dav just as every other intelligent class is divided that reads and thinks and reasons for itself. It would be idle to deny that its preponderlng weigbt is witli tlic party that gave to the foreign settlers on pur shores the protection due to citizenship; but it has been wcll said - "The politician who takes the Germansfor a niassof stolid foels who can be swayed or controlled liy the empty claim of a self appointed leader is German-born and a cabioet offleer, will flnd that be has made the greatest mistake ef his lifo.
