Try Us on Our Record.

Facts are so much better than fancies,
works are so much better than words,
that there ought TO be little wonder at
the steady progress of the Republican
, party in the face of its own internal diff
ficulties. The absence of all cohcrcnce
in the modern Democracy is not less the
.iutU vi I,o uMu WANT UI -,.tiiTc primer
pies than of the repeated successes Of
its antagonist. There are two classes
embarrassed by this state of things
first, those in our own ranks who allow
personal feeling to control their actions f;
second, those on the adverse side, who
expect to win through our discussions
While the Republicans stand firm, prove
their fidelity to their faith and fulfill
'Athcir pledges, they can afford to rest upon
the results as upon rock, indu'ging IL
due forbcarance to their disafIccted asso
ciates and defying the Vaccinations of
theip .adyersaries. Our strength is not
isimply in numbers and majorilics, but in
our general ability for government and
in the unassailale integrity OF our re-
cord. We do not invoke support by
promises of what we shall do. We dc
niand it by the fair showing of what we
have done. Perhaps nothing so vindi-
Gates Republican policy and so proves
Republican power as the concessions of
the Democrats. The best of them yield
to the new amendments to the constitu
tion. The worst of them dare no longer
attack the systematic reduction of tho
nntional debt.

A LONG BRANCH RoMANcE.-A cor
respondent Of Tie Cincinnati Commcy-
cidi writes
Even tho perfdious ocean has its ad-
vantaaes. A young man of goo ! family
and position, without income worthy of
mention, camc down here some weeks rgo
with the intention Of marrying girl
having wealthy father-not with the
intention of living upon her. but as u
precautionary measure against pi'ssibicj
poverty. He found such girl one of
two children, and as she was sensible,
ami bic and moderately good looking, lie
proposed to her after courtShip of ten
days.
She thought his wooins rather brief,
and frankly told him She believed lie
waited to we'd her fathers fortune rath-
er than herself
With equal candor he admitted that
the rccuniary p;rt had its influence, but
declared that if he were rich and she
POOR, lie would be most happy to make
her his wife. She wavcred for half Il
day. slept over the matter, aud the next
morning felt constrained to decline.
The young man performed the phil5so-
lhic ,'oic, remarking that he was sorry,
but that he had too much to DE- to occu-
py himself in brcaking his heart eve
may do better than marry, Bella" he
added. 'Wo might have quarrclcd as
man and wife. bat We won't quarrel as
friends and, after all, who knows but
cclibacy is the greatest Of blessings"
Still, he did not surrender hope
He proposed the same afternoon to
teach her to swim, and they went to.

prudence would have dictated. 10
wanted to irigliten her, and he succeed,

she thought she was really drowning.
