The Contested Election

Some Of the Democrats of the city
having deliberately determined to rob,
if possible, Mr.. Philip Decker of the
Office of Auditor, to which he was
rightfully elected by the people, the
Republican Executive Committee, at
a meeting on Tuesday afternoon, at
the Office of William Heilman, re-
solved that it would defend Mr..
Dscker's rights to the last extremity,
and demonstrate thereby to the salts
faction Of the people of Vanderbureh
County and the State whether cleo
tions are mere farces, or are to stand
as the expressed will of the people.
The principle to be decided by this
contest seems to be what majority is
necessary to insure a man from all
disturbance in his Office. Mr.. Deck
er's majority was thirteen. This his
opponent, and the Democrats gener-
ally, regard as insufficient, and they
have established the precedent of
contesting elections when majorities
are no larger, that may return to
plague them in a manner little
thought of at the present time. We
confess to some surprise that Judge
Parrett does not contest his compet-
itor's election on the same principle,
because his majority was less than
two hundred. Mr.. Miller also seems
to have just cause of complaint ia
that his opponents majority was less
than FIVE hundred. We think the
main point to be determined in this
contest is what majority is necessary
to enable a candidate to take posses
sion of an Office without annoyance
or disturbance on the part of his po-
litieal opponents.
The Democrats of Evansville have
publicly boosted that their main de-
pendance for success in the present
contest is in the fact that they
have been successful in electing a
Circuit Judge, as well as the Judges of
The Supreme Court. They freely admit
that had their candidates for these
Offices been defeated, they would not
have entertained for a moment the
idea of contesting Mr.. Decker's cleo
ton, much less spent any money In
prosecuting the suit. The publicity
which they have given to this fact is our
justification for speaking of it freely.
We say that a greater insult was never
offered to a judicial body than this
unblushing declaration that because
the Judges elect are Democrats, and
were elected by the Democratic
party, therefore, in partisan suits
coming before them for adjudication,
hey will decide in favor o

SENATOR MoRToN's deelination of
the English Mission mas been pro-
duetive of weeping and a wailing
and CRASHING of teeth, among the
Indiana Democracy. The Courier in
particular, is O weeping Jeremiah
over this untimely nipping of MIR.

We will suggest. however, for its con-
ISOLATION, that U. s. Senators are pro-
verbally unlucky as Presidential as
pirants, and as Mr.. Hendricks is the
favorlte for the Presidential race in
1872, it ought to thank Senator Nor
ton for keeping him out of Congress
until that time. As Senator, Mr..
Hendricks would be compelled to
take position on some questions which
might prove heavy weights during the
Presidential race, and absolutely re.
suit in his defeat. He would have to
vote on Tariff Bills, on Financial
questions. and vote as he would could
not avoid displeasing some Of hi
party, with its present discordant
views upon these questions. The
Courier ought to thank, rather thar
abuse, Senator Morton for declining
the English Mission.

New York Items.

NEW YORK, October 26.-Attorney
General Akerman has established his
headquarters at the Astor House,
where he will remain until the cleo
ton to pronounce upon all questions
of law that may arise. He is instructed
to see that all the rights of citizens
are respected, and that the authority
of the United States Government is
maintained In all its integrity. He
was in consultation with u. S. Senator
Conkling yesterday, and the Senator
subsequently remarked that the de-
termination was to enforce the act
Of Congress at all hazards, No doubt-
full or questionable power will be as
sumed by the officers, but thew will
enforce such processes and provisions
as they are assured they will be sus-
tanned in executing. The prebara-
tons for the purpose are being per-
fected every day, and there will be no
lack Of authority TO back up the off :

400 recruits, who await its arrival. It

gency is over. will proceed to the
Canadian frontier and go into Winter
quarters. Other forces of consider
able strength will find it convenient
to concentrate in the vicinity of New
York in the next two weeks, and
though but few people will probably
ever see them, the fact that they are
on hand will be consoling to one party
and will exercise a wholesome re-
straint on the evil doings of the other.
The officers charged with the duty
of executing the laws of Congress for
the preservation of the purity of the
ballot, mean business this time. and
the Government mean to sustain them.
The Attorney General telegraphed to
the President, last evening, that mat
tiers were quiet in the city, and that
the resistance on Monday was not of
serious character.

We regret to learn that the Repub-
licans of Chicago have made a very in
judicious nomination for Congress
man. in place of Mr.. Judd. and that
defeat will, in all probability, be the
result. 1t is certainly most unfor-
tunate for the party, as we'll as the
people of that Congressional District,
that Mr.. Joseph Medill withdrew his
name from before the convention
prior to its assembling. He might
have permitted his friends to put him
in nomination without making any
pledges or compromising his manhood.
Had they failed the resource would
still have been left them to defeat the
trickster who got the nomination by
lnstrumentalities discredita5le and
dishonest, at the polls. But we in
sist that when a good man refuses to
permit his name to go before a con-
VentiOn for any Office to whose duties
he is not averse, he is largely respon-
s;5!e for the nomination of an un-
worthy candidate, which is almost
certain to follow, under the circum-
stances. Party politics are not very
pleasant for independent and honor
able men. Yetwe think good govern
ment is of sufficient importance to
justify such men in making personal
sacrifices TO secure it. Besides, if
good men will persist in standing
alOof, what right have they to expect
anything but corruption and misman-
agement in all branches of the
Government. Our impression is that
Mr.. Medill is mainly responsible for
FarWell's nomination.

Llelr partisan IrIen0e, regardless OF
law, justice or even common decency.
We are 10th to believe that the cleo
ton of Judges by the people through
parties has resulted in plunging our
Judiciary into this depth of degrade
ton, though we are aware that many
Of the best lawyers of the State pre-
dicted that such would be the result
when first the election of
Judges became a party ques-
ton. The Republicans tried
hard to avert this calamity, and have
cheerfully supported Democratic can
didates for the Judiciary, rather than
make the selection of Judges party
question. But their opponents would
have it otherwise, and apparently for
the reason freely set forth on our
street corners by Democratic politi-
clans in discussing the contest of Mr..
Decker's election to the Office Of Au-
ditor.
We can rot believe that the Judges
elect will thus draggle their ermine in
the mire of party politics. Itis be-
cause they have more faith in the in
tegrity of the Judges elect, that the
Republican Executive Committee
have resolved to aid Mr.. Decker in
contendiDg for the Office to which
he has been legally elected. The
allegations set forth in the notice
of contest filed with the County
Clerk are mere pretenses. As a
fair sample of the whole, it will
be proper for us to state, that in the
First Precinct the Republican Inspec-
tor, wearied with the long and con-
tinued labor of calling off names, per.
mitted one Mama Bosting impor.
tation to which we have had occasion
to refer once or twice before-to cal
off the names on some of the tickets
1t was discovered, however, that ht
was calling the names wrong before b.
had completed very many tickets
and he was at once commanded Il
stand aside as one who could not b,
trusted. Mann now sets forth this fac
as one Of the allegations in the contest
emitting, however, the fact 0
his attempted fraud. We think thi
is fair sample of the reasons assignee
for contesting, We are somewha
surprised that Mr.. Mann does not al
lege as a reason for contesting that b
was prevented by the watchfulness o
the officers of the Election Board fron
perpetrating fraud that would hav
excited the admiration of the most ex
pert of Tammany Hall ballot DO,
suffers. This same Mann is now on
of the leading attorneys in prosecuting
the contest.
We are gratifed that the Republi
can Executive Committee propose t
back up Mr.. Decker in his fight TO
the Office to which he has been legal,
elected, and whose right to it woulc
never have been called in question
but for the reasons set forth above
We trust Mr.. Decker and the Com
mittee will fight it out on this line
it takes three or four Summers. Their
is a principle involved of far more i'm
portance than the mere emolument
of the office. It is this prinoiple-th,
right of the majority to rule-whicE
is in jeopardy, and which the Repub
licans are called upon once more t.
defend.
| We suggest to the Republicans o
the city. who may have any informa
ton whatever as TO illegal votes hav
ing been cast for Mr., Joseph Reitz, t
furnish the same promptly to Mr.
Decker. They may materially al,
him in the fight by so doing.
