Easter to kill Bismarck, but learned
he had gone into the country. He

The DEMOCRACY are Boosting that

The Democracy are boasting that
they will have majority in the next
National House OF Representatives.
A Democratic House would be a
strangely unhappy family, their par
ty platforms in no two States agrees
ing. The Now York Graphic, not a
Republican paper, thus portrays in
brief prospective the infelicities of
the family:
But what a happy family this Dem
ocratic Congressional delegation
would be! There would be the rag
money men of the west, and the hard
money men of the east. The White
Leaguers of the South would sit side
by side in the kingdom with the fierce
War and Union-saving Democrats Of
the North. The Indiana Repudia-
tionists would clasp hands with the
New Workers, who would pay the
whole debt in gold, "even il it took
the last MCKEE" The Anti.monop-
olists of Iowa and the Changers of
Wisconsin wonld embrace the rail-
way capitalists and attorneys of Mass
achusetts and Pennsylvania it would
be funny company, and only Mr..
Sunset Cox, the humorist Of the
House, can possibly describe the COM
bination of incopgruities and its effect
on the rasing of wooi and the devsl-
opment Of the Engfiaif language,
But tho result OF such ragtng anu
bobtail majority on the future of the
Democracy would be as fatal as its
best enemies and worse friends can
possibly wish. The party can devise
no more expeditions and easy meth
cd Of committing hari-kari and cleo
ting Republican President in 1876.
The advocates ofthe third term have
only to turn to and pack the next
House with Democrats to gain their
end.
The Anti-Monop and Democratic
| papers don't agree rs To the poHtlcal
status of Ainsworth, whom the
Ants of the 3D. Iowa District have
elected to Congress. The Ottumwa
Democrat says he is a Democrat, and
will coalesce with the Democratic
members from Ohio, Indiana, New
York and other Democratic States.
The few Anti papers that still stick
to the Anti-Monop name and con-
cistently contend, as before the cleo
ton, for continuance of the new
party, condemning both OF the old
alike, protest that Ainsworth IL not
a Democrat. OF course Evans is cor
rect. Aiasworth will remain what
he has always been, a Democrat.

s A New Orleans dispatch dated Oct.
rs, says the Conservative leaders last
evening held meeting and decided
TO commence criminal proceedings
against Kellogg, Longstreet, Badger,
and all Radical leaders for murder.
The charge will be conspiracy on the
j4th of September against the lives
Of citizens while in the exercise of
rights guaranteed them under the
CONSTITUTION, in removing and bear
ing arms. Affidavits are being pre-
pared to-day, and two United States
commissioners agree to issue war
rants. While the affidavits will be
tied the warrants will not be issued
Z efore The elections unless further ar
rests OF whites are made. As the
offence charged is murder all who
are arrested must lie in the Parish
prison.

Democrat, is "such a funny mani"
1t is ever so jolly to punch hiM q
little occasionally with sharp stick
and see him squirm and rage and
tear his hair, and hurl volleys of
laundering anathemas and naughty
words and ugly names at the wicked
man Barker who gives him SO much
trouble, and at the men of straw
that he always keeps about him to
be pelted when he Is cross. 1t is 90
easy, too, to make him take tan
trum, just before or after election.
He takes his tantrums with almost
as much regularity as he does his
daily bitters, and If he happens to
neglect his tantrum we remind him
by gentle poke in the ribs, or by
shaking red rag before him, and
his frenzy comes on at once. You'd
think he would hurt somebody; but
he won't-it's only his way. He
does sometimes frighten people who
don't know him. They think him

umns Of leaders of that sort per week

from the pen Of our State Senator is
of course matter of pride to every
citizen Of the county he represents.
Such editorial wisdom and high
moral teachings should secure re-

sweet that he should be employed to
draft all our statutes. Johnny Is

Personal Liberty.

The Ottumwa Democrat, now the
the leading newspaper light In the
Democratic party of Iowa, thus en-
phatically lays down the law for that
party:
Now that reorganization Of the
Democratic party i'm Iowa is well as
sured, there are many who are In
curing as to what position the party
will assume on the Liquor License
Question. The Germans especially
are anxious Old this subject, and it is
time that all their fears may be set
at rest. The Democratic party of
Iowa will stand as it always stood,
for the personal liberty Of every
citizen, and on the Liquor Question
it will declare emphatically for al
we'll regulated License Law. The
Autobiography Party evaded the
issue and declared only in general
terms for Personal Liberty. The
Democracy never finch from any
question. They have always been
in favor of License and will so de-
clare in their next State Conven-
ton.
Mr.. Evans Of the Democrat, and
his more radical followers, will UNI
doubleday dictate the platform for
the next Iowa Democratic conven-
ton, and will make 1t strong enough
in favor of free whisky to suit the
most violent advocates Of license.
If they do, the Republican party
will be compelled to take firm
ground in opposition; and this we
shall hope to see it do, and let the
issue be made squarely. 1t must
come eventually. and it may rs well
come next year. We should not
favor law so extreme that it could
not be enforced, but the features OF
our present law which make sellers
responsible for all damage done in
consequence Of their sales, should be
retained +; and the purchaser as we'll
as the seller should be held RESPONSE :
BILE. Drunkenness should be made q
misdemeanor, and should be made
punishable by a severe fine, IL not
by imprisonment. The Republican
party ca mot afford to take any
backward step upon this question |;
and we confidently believe it will
not. No permanent success can
come to any party as a result OF pan
dering to the vicious and demoraliz-
ing elements and tendencies of 30
ciety.
There Ia really no necessity Tor
making this an issue between the
two parties, and we had INDUCED
the hope that the few hundreds OF
voters in this State who have been
holding the liquor club over both
parties for q number of years would
not succeed in forcing such an issue
but if it must be made an =" irrepressi-
BILE conflict" let it come. Let il
be fully understood, If must be, that
the Republican party is temper
anee party, and THAI the Democrat
ic party desires to be known as favor
ing whisky license law. The sharp
er the conflict the more emphatic
will be the decision. We have no
fears as to the result. Iowa does
not want free whisky, and will not
have it.

At Cleveland, Ohio, when the re-
suits Of the late election became
known, the Democracy held great
jubilee. Among other speakers
Hon. III. b. Payne, the Democratic
Congressman elect in that District,
was called to the platform to tell the
Democracy why they should be
happy, and what were the causes
which had eliminated i'm their VIC
tory and his own election. The fol-
lowing are some of his utterances,
as reported by the Democratic press
You are feeling very happy this
evening, and this Joy comes up, am
sure, from the very bottom of your
hearts. Rejoice! / say again, re-
joice! and be exceeding glad, for we
have reason to be Joyous
Now for the reason. Mr.. Payne is
certainly competent to tell the reas-
on, and thus he does it:
at is evident that the main
ground of hostility to the Republi-
can party in QAio was the temper
ance crusade and the wholesale pros.
ecution of saloon-keepers by the
Temperance League. For this and
the temperance plank in the State
platform it was determined to give
The Republicans singing rebnke.
Crusaders will henceforth find cold
comfort in Ohio"
Republicans were beaten because
they insisted upon enforcing the
statutes againt the saioon-kepers.
And now what may the temperance
people of Ohio expect? They "will
henceforth find cold comfort" says
this Congressman elect. This is
equivalent to saying That the laws
against liquor-seiling shall not be en-
forced; ard thai they shalt be re-
