Democrats and democratic newspapers must not
be surprised if their reviling of Federal appoint

We take out the following kernels of few Of
these;
| BLAINE. II can be said of Blaine, with truth,
that he has all the requirements for the first office
in the gift of the people. He is a fine scholar, 4
superb organizer, and do not know anywhere a
better writer or speaker. He is temperate and
good tempered, full of humor, natural statesman
and genuine good fellow. Ii he gets the nomi-
nation he will arouse young America from Cana
da TO California, and put rapture in the strife
that will once more make the public heart throb
with joy under great intellectual leadership.
MORTON. A remarkable head, his pale face
and his coal-black eyes stamp him as man of
distinction before YOU hear his strong and manly
tones and follow the natural logic Of his iresisti-
Bile rhetoric. More than once has he plucked a
sinking cause from death His mental resources
are rrodigious. | know him well and intimately,

The coolest winters on record in the United

HITTING ON TIVE ROOFS CAP.

As the most feasible method to lessen
the ignominy of having published the sto-
len Foster-Blaine letter, the editor Of the
Standard comes out in his columns this
week and deliberately argues that he was
egregiously fooled in giving the letter
publicity. He sincerely believes, SO he
would have US understand, that he is more
dupe than knave in this matter. He says
now that be received the letter through the
post Office, where he thinks it was placed
by Mr. Blaine's fundamentally in order
to find its way into the Standard. It was
bait to catch the unsophistieated editor.
1t was scheme to employ Mr. Pillsbury s
paws in the work of pulling Mr. Blaine's
chestnuts from the fire.
It will be seen ct glance that this view
Of the matter makes Mr. Pillsbury's case
worse rather than better. The appropri-
ating of the stolen letter was the commits
sion Of a disgraceful act. Mr.. Pillsbury' s
attempt to show that he was duped in no
wise relieves him from the dishonor at
taching to him from the publication of the
letter. His act in publishing it is morally
as wrong and wicked if he were duped as
if he were not. To declare that he was
fooled is to double the disgrace rather than
mitigate it. The putting on OF the fools
cap does not cover the knaye in the least.
The idea that Mr.. Blaine desired the let
ter to be published in the Standard is too
preposterous. The letter proved BOOM
erang to the poor Standard and that ;
what the occasion of its ridiculous state
ments.

iS55-1S78.

To-day the year 1876 finishes its course.
Tomorrow new year begins. OF the
year now closing we have no tale to tell
of great famine. wide spreading pesti-
lence, vast connections by land or sea, or
wars of large magnitude. On the whole
it has been o year not marked by any
great events to render it specially MEM
orable. The most noticeable feature OF
the year has been the duilness OF bust
ness, the hard times, the oyerturn of
business firms, extending all over the
civilized world. As it has been in New
York and Boston in regard to business so
it has been In Quebec. Monteyideo, Lon
don, Paris. Constantinople and Pekin.
Thele is and has been stagnation every
where in the currents of trade. No more
in the United States where it is attributed
TO the republican party and the tariff.
than in England where there is no re-
publican party and free trade pre-
walls. Politically there have been nc
great changes in the worlds history
The republic still lives in France. Intestine
war continues in Spain, and Cuba suffers
in vain endeayor to throw off the
Spanish yoke. In this country we have
begun to experience the effects of the re-
turn of the democrats to power in the
House, the first fruits Of which are the
turning out of Union soldiers from subor-
dinaie positions to make room for eX-Con-
lederates. The death Of Vice President
Wilson was national bereavement, re-
moving from life the second officer in the
nation, and man distinguished alike Tor
his noble public services and unblemished
private character.
Turning from the old year TO that about to
commence, from 1880 1876. we find our
selves stepping into the Centennial year
Of the nation. This circumstance to-
gethcr with the fact that President of
the United States will be elected, makes
the new year Of far more than usual
Importance to our citizens. 1t will be a
year Of retrospect, OF comparison, of Judi
lee, SO far as the nation is concerned. No
exhibition that ever took place within the
limits Of this country can be compared in
extent and magniiicence in mere material
point of'view TO that which viii be held
at Philadelphia in 1876, while the patriotic
emotions which II will inspire, the nation

WHAT 1T MEANS.

The nation under democracy means the
recenerated republic under ex- Confederate
influences. If this is doubted, the organi-
cation of the House of Representative OF
the Forty Fourth Congress affords sufii-
Gent evidence to prove the assertion q
correct one.
The fall of the Speakers gavel which
announced the organization of the House
was the signal of new departure, for the
first time in twenty years. Loyalty, tried
and true ; one-armed and one legged SOL
diers-braye fellows who had shed their
blood in the defense of their country
were forced to take back seats. while the
rebel element, whitewashed for the occa-
sion, pressed forward to receive at the
hands of q nation they tried 10 destroy
the gifts of official patronage.
The day that saw tried Union men, who
had faced without hinehing the rebel guns
on many hard-fought field, dismissed
from the House of Representatives to
make room for the men who had marched
in the rebel ranks was a sad day in Ameri
can history--for it spoke Of an ingratitude
hardly paralleled in the history of the
world. Indebted to those manned heroes
more than any official patronage can ever
repay, the chosen representatives of a
great nation unblushingly dismissed them
from positions long held with honor, and
rewarded with place and power the very
men who plotted the overthrow Of the Gov
eminent whose bounty they are now eager
to enjoy.
Let US pray that this disgraceful scene
may not be repeated on larger scale
that the American people will not quietly
submit TO a wrong SO glazing, and an in
Justice so unpardonabe--that next year
their voice will be heard. in tones of thun-
der, calling again tried Union men to the
front, and remanding 10 the shades Of OBJ
security the ex-Confederate elements that
have accidentally come into power.
By strict party vote the democrats of
the House of Representatives voted down
proposition offered by representative
Fort of Illinois, to give the preference to
wounded Union soldiers in filling the SUBJ
ordinate positions under the officers of the
House.
In this significant action OF the demo-
cratic House the people have a fair sam
pie of what will be done by democracy if
it ever obtains control of the nation. The
Union soldier element vii be banished
from place and power Those who led
the rebellion will be selected to fill the
offices now held by loyal men. 1t is for
the people to say whether the humiliation
will be perpetuated, or whether it will be
checked in the bud Our faith is strong
in the final vindication of Justice; and VIC
look for republican triumph in the Cen
tennal year which will undo the bad work
Of the democratic House.

The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1875-11-10

Reports from Washington indicate
that the forthcoming mes 'age of Presi-
dent Grant will be devoted principally
to three topics. the school question, the
'currency"a Cuban affairs, and that
his'views of these questions will make
him prominent candidate for third
term. On the currency question but
little need be said. The recent cleo
tons prove that majority of the
people are to-day, as they always have
been, in favor of hard money, and that
the currency question is no longer an
issue. President Grant is aware of
this, and when recently serenaded said
that 'the rag baby has been entirely
suppressed, and the people now know
what kind of money they are to have
in the future" On the Cuban question
Grant has been non committal or rather
committed on the Spanish side of the
question during his two terms. For
years the Cubans have strue gled nobly
against the Spaniards, without receiv-
ing word of sympathy from the Re-
publican Congress, or administration
of the United States, although repeat
eddy asked and urged to do SO.
The school question is one which
politicians, not the people, are trying
to stir up. Schools are secured by law
from the power of sectarians, and there
is not respectable minority In any
community in the United States that
would have it otherwise. The agitation
Of this question at the present time
is simply an effort on the part of schem-
ing politicians to create religious strife
among the people. The public schools
are, as they ought to be, free from sec
tartan Influences and open to all creeds
and nationalities, and it is pure dema-
gogism to attempt to drag the school
question into politics. We candidly
believe that canvass of this State
would show that there are not fifty
voters within its limits that desire a
change in our school system.

were gaily decorated with flags. This
evening His Lordship will give a grand
