Nh. CARL SCHURz, of Missouri, has dis.
covered that the pocket in which he
carried the German vote came inside
out when he turned his coat, and the
vote was lost.
TIE Republican National Committee
paid very just tribute to Mr.. Thomas
Mast for his splendid campaign work,
but it should also have acknowledged
! the services of Mr.. Matt Morgan.
THIS from the Missouri Democrat: "The
Wounded Eagle Of the Wabash is what
the Indianapolis Sentinel calls Dan.
Voorhees,. Wounded Eagle is good,
but busted buzzard' is alternative and
better"
The Forty third Congress will contain

The Buffalo Courier, remembering its
folly IN the recent canvass, prefaces the
following bit of poetry with the words,
"Here is comfort?n

The question whether the Liberals or
the democrats were responsible for their

whether the Democrats or Liberals were

GES. JOE HOOKER says: 81 do not
pretend to be prophet, but tell you
that Grant aches for another war, and
that he Will make one if there is the
slightest pretense." He'll get badly
beaten, then, unless he depends for sue
cess upon more successful Generals than
poor Joe Hooker proved.
THERE is enough of the Andy johnson
element in the Tennessee Legislature to
make things lively. 1t is proposed to
rectify some of the Democratic gerry
Wandering of last winter. 1t hardly
appears as though the Republicans
ought to be very much dissatisfied with
the result, though. They get good
enough thing out OF it.
The New York Times pleasantly re-
marks upon the announcement of a
change liz the editorial department of the
Tribune: " If Mr.. Greeley fatters him
self that this hodeepodge of impudence,
mock modesty, flash philosophy, and
Pecksnitfian morality settles his account
with the American people, and restores
him unchanged to the position ne once
occupied, he is mistaken"
A STUDY of the election returns of the
Fifth Congressional District of Georgia
develops some suggestive facts. At the
October election Smith, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, carried every
one OF the twelve counties comprising
the district, but IN November Gen. Grant
had majorlties in just one-half of them.
The total Republican vote in the district
IN October was $3.50, and 10,97S in No.
vember, while the Democratic vote in
October was 1888, and $500 in No.
vember for Mr.. Greeley, but 1923 were
cast for Mr.. O'Conor, making the total
Democratic vote 1923. This conclu-
sively shows that terrorism swelled the
Democratic majority in Georgia at the
State election.
