zens, entitled to vote for the man they
hnH 1cxN,A

zens, entitled to vote for the man they
thought best fitted to fill the office. There
are thousands OF such voters in every
State, and their influence is the lever that
revolutionizes politics when parties become
too wicked to be longer trusted with
power. The defeat of Tweed was not due
to the Democracy, but to the detection OF
this powerful class of voters from the
Democratic ticket. So much for the fact.
As to the argument, it is just this, that
moderate Republicans can not CO.
operate with the Democracy because they
can not trust it. If they are forced to
| select between the President, with whom
( they confess to be dissatisfied, and DEM
| ocrat whom they distrust as infinitely
worse than President Grant can ever be,
they will prefer the latter all the time.
The country is not distracted at present
about platforms, for there really exists
but little difference between the two par
ties in the public policy they profess; but
the public know what the Republicans are
doing, and what they intend to do; and
they do not know what the Democrats
are doing, or what they intend to do
This is the stumbling block in the way Of
the fusion which the Times speaks of.
The Democrats talk in riddles. They
equivocate about the plainest matters. In
one place they are in favor of everything,
and in another they are in favor Of
nothing. Take our State for example, and
what do we discover? The Democrats as
sert their aequiescence in all the laws that
affect the political rights of the colored
people, and yet when Messrs. Marks
and Fenner pin them down to the essen
tials of the law, they fly into passion
and tare about like wild Indians. This
proves that their professions are insincere,
and justifes the Republicans in not trust
ing them. In another particular, too, they
are equally at fault. They rave about re-
forming the political condition Of the COM
munity and when we ask them who they
intend to select as their leaders in the per-
formance of this work, what do they do?
Need we answer? They point us to the
very men who have betrayed the politics
of the State time out Of time. They ex-
pect US to let them substitute their wicked
and corrupt leaders for the men that we
are dissatisfied with because they have not
done their duty faithfully. None of this
for US. If we are to have bad men, give
us bad Republican instead Of bad
Democrat We can exercise some influence
for good over the former, but no power on
earth can do that with depraved DEM
ocrat
If these reasons are not sufficient, we
have others that can be produced at short
notice. We hope these will do, however.

TIE REASON WHY.

The Times desires to be informed why
the Republicans who are dissatisfied with
the President can ~, unite with the Demo-
Gratis to defeat him, as the Democrats of
New York united with the Republicans to
defeat Tweed, with whom they were dissat-
istied. This is a confusion Of fact and ar
gument together. In the first place, the
Democrats of New York did not vote
against Twe.d, but stuck to him as they
stick 10 al their wicked leaders. The men
vii" vote,. VIII. the Republicans in New
ok to defeat the Democracy never admit
ted that they belonged to that party or to
any other party; but they Were ia-l who

says the Sandusky Register, with severe re-
buke, when a judge who thus dishonored

Suicide is rapidly increasing in Paris,
where the Morgue is TOO small to contain all
the bodies found in the Seine. Statistics OF
the lunatic asylumns show them to be over
crowded, and that their inmates have dou-
bled in the course of the last year. An in
quiry into this lamentable state OF affairs
has been established, and most of the mad
doctors and savants attribute it to the strain
of the political misturtunes which have
afflicted France

DRAINAGE.

The heavy rains experienced here re-
Gently should remind our city Admlnistra-
tors of the necessity of pushing forward
the work of properly draining this city
and protecting it against inundations. Ihe
Legislature has charged them with this
most important duty, and steps should be
taken as rapidly as possible to consummate
the work A few days ago we stated that
the comprehensive system OF drainage
adopted by the City Council was being
rapidly carried forward; that the work OF
excavating was sufficiently advanced to de-
mand that immediate preparations be
made for obtaining and erecting powerful
pumping machines at the lake terminus OF
the three main canals that are intended to
complete perfect system of drainage for
the city We showed that two OF these
canals, running from the river to the lake,
were in an advanced state of completion,
and that within twelve months it was ex-
pected the work of excavating would be
finished. The Mississippi and Mexican
Gulf Ship Canal and Drainage Company
is earnestly pushing forward that part OF the
work which is to create channels OF suf-
fcient width and depth to drain this city
of all surplus water, and at the same time
give an outlet to its sewage. The COM
pany has one hundred and twenty-five
men and large number OF powerful
dredging machines engaged in this work
at the present time, and it will be 1Sor-
ously pushed to speedy completion.
The company seems anxious to complete
this work, and it is to be hoped the city
Administrators will not delay the pur-
chase of the necessary machinery to ena-
BILE our people to realize at as early day
as possible the benefits of thorough sys-
tenn of drainage and protection levees.
The storms of last month inundated the
entire rear of our city, doing much dam
age to the people living there. 1t is esti-
mated that the damage done to gardens,
stock and real estate in that direction by
the storms will reach the value Of many
thousands of dollars, and the heavy rains
within the past few days must have added
to these losses For these and other
equally potent reasons immediate steps
should be taken by our city Administra-
tors to procure the necessary machinery
for thoroughly draining this city and pro-
tecting it against inundatioR

The Clinton County Republican puts
the following, by no means extravagant
value, that thesscompletion of the new rail
road from Dayton through that place,
Hillsborough, &C., would be to Clinton
county:
Can any wide-awake citizen doubt that
the increase in value of the real estate of
our county would be on an average of ten
per cent. all over the county, as soon as
the new railroad is built? Clinton county
will be million dollars richer in so short a
time after the road is finished, that the in
crease in wealth will be astonishing to all
who pay no attention to the growth Of
wealth in communities where important in
ternal improvements are made.

at once examine one of the Holidays
Wind Pumps. One of these pumps brings
out the water warm and fresh from the
ground all the time. It pays for itselfwith
one lot of one hundred hogs. In cold
weather it is capital, as the water does not
freeze and is always where the stock can
drink it without any trouble, We have
