BCLL-DOZIItG NORTH AND SOUTH
If all of the readers of the Stak
could have access to the Radical pa
pers we' glance over each' day they
would be enraged at the unfairness,
tne nupiaity, tne aosoime meanness
m m : m m m m
and impudence of those sheets. Une
Radical paper actually said that j
5,000,000 of blacks had been disf ran-
chised in the South. This is fully as I
many as there1 are negroes of all ages. I
Another was more moderate. It only I
claimed. that about 700,000 had been I
bull-dozed. This is about the num-
ber of colored votes polled. We in-
stance these, but there are lies about
other matters equally atrocious. If I
any Northern! Radical paper tells the
truth about the South in any particu- I
lar we are not; aware of it. Some of I
them actually slandered the South
during the epidemic, and said that I
whilst the North was responding to l
the aDDeals ma?nanimonslv and mu-
A. I
nificently the people of the South I
worild give nothing. In this State 1
alone over one hundred communities I
sent their contributions.
j'The reports of ballot-box stuffing in
South Carolina have been a God-sead
to the Radical papers and dema
gogues. They distort and magnify
,-ery event to such a degree it is I
past recognition. The Philadelphia I
Press says tbat entire communities in
the South are banded together to j
corrupt or prevent a fair ballot. Let I

Hayes received in Illinois in 1876, 1
278,232, Tilden 258,601, Cooper,
Greenbacker,l7,233 votes. Hayes had
a majority of 2,398. This year the
vote stands: Radical 215,283, De
mocratic 169,965, Greenback 65,355.
The Radicals lack 20,355 of having a
majority. This shows, first, a great
increase in the Greenback vote;
second, that the Radicals are in the
I minority over 20,000 votes; third,
l.. - . I
that tne opposition can carryjlunois
in 1880 if they unite their forces.
Now let us look at New Jersey. The
official vote is as follows: . Republi-
eans, 90,448; Democratic, 80,025;
Nationals. 24.608. In 1876 the Con-
gressional vote was Democratic, 115,-
168; Republican, 103,474; National
520. The Radical vote falls off over
13,000, and still they carry the State.
How is this? It is owing to so many I
Democrats voting for the Greenback
I
candidate. The vote shows, how
ever, that the opposition have 14,190
majority, and can easily carry the
State in 1880 if united.

The school fund for 1877 amounted

of dollars. The school property is
valued at $6,390,398. Male teachers
receive $60 50 a month, female teach

obtain - competent instructors and
faithful services pay fairly for it.
