During the war a Georgian started to
Marietta with some chickens for sale. He
met squad of soldiers, and they bought
all his chickens but one rooster. He in
sisted they should take him, but they were
out of money. and couldn't buy.
The old man said he hated to go on to
town with only one chicken, and was great

At last one of the soldiers said:

They played o long and spirited game,
At last the soldier won. The old man
wrung the ROSTERS neck and tossed him
at the soldiers feet, and mounted his
swab-tailed pony and started home. After
getting some two hundred yards he sud
denly stopped, turned round, and rode
back and said:

rooster fairly, but I'd to know what in the

had it in their power to claim and receive
it; they had it in their power even to
claim and receive the good will and per-
haps the active support of Schurz. The
conditions were as simple as could be. If
their state convention, when it met, did
not know what to do, it should have done
nothing; it would have been easier to do
nothing, or to have republished some dus-
ty platform of half a century ago, than
disturb the peaceful and auspicious state
of things that prevailed with the wild
agitation that has brought on them an ir.
retrievable defeat, lost to the party (per-
haps) a western state with % electoral
votes, and half undone the brilliant vic
tories of last year. There was no need
whatever for importing the money ques-
ton into the Ohio canvass; it was want
ton act, The people did not demand it.
1t was not disturbing the popular mind;
it had been apparently quieted by the
legislation of the late congress, and in that
repose it should have been left. Besides,
the Democracy could certainly have carried
the state without it. A profound discon-
tent with the venality and misgoyernment
OF the Republicans was working out the
restoration of the Democracy to power
everywhere 80 effectively that. there was
nothing to be done in Ohio but allow the
process to go on unobstructed. If the
Ohio canvass evolved an issue that utterly
obscured the faults and crimes of the Re-
publican party, divided the Democracy,
and coDjured up the spectre of reputation
to alarm the country in the background, it
is because the Democratic leaders in that
state would have it so; and if what was an
Fall but certain promise of victory three
months ago has been changed into defeat
that may not be retrieved for years, these
leaders are to be thanked for it.
The Ohio Democrats ought now to see
the proprety of resigning their claims to
leadership, and taking a position in the
background. In politics as in war, there
is nothing respectable but success, and
they have on two critical occasions proved
their incapacity to succeed. They failed
in 1868 and they have failed now; they
have brought a shadow over the Democra-
tic presidential prospect and, what is worse
still, they have created distrust of west
ern capacity to lead in national polite.

ture representatives and champions; thu

A Blunder and its Consequences.

In extending coincidence to the Ohio
Democrats in the bruised and battered
light in which they find themselves, we
take the liberty of reminding them of the
lesson which their discontinue teaches:
Platform-building is demonstrably not
their forte. Neither is leadership. Two
disastrous failures in seven years have
proven this to the complete satisfaction of
all but themselves, at least, and it would
seem that the last of these disasters is SO
crushing that even Ohio Democrats cannot
fail to understand it. They may seek a
ferocious satisfaction in looking away from
themselves and attempting to lay the
blame on the New York Democracy and
Mr.. Schurz, but all the fierce maledictions
they may hurl at New York and Schurz
cannot obscure the truth that they them
selves are the authors of the disaster
which fell on them and the whole Demo
cratic party Tuesday. 1t was their duty
to deserve, instead of repelling, the good
