leadership of that party is composed
of. His name is Scobey--he is law

that this great "reformer' has been

has had snit instituted to debar him

Senator Window, of Minnesota,
made speech not long since in the
Senate. showing up the falsity Of dem
oeratic pretensions as to the amount OF
money which has been saved to the
people by Congress. AS is we'll re-
marked by the New York Times, the
democratic exaggerations on the SUBJ
ject are too ridiculous for serious srgu-
ment. For time it was insisted that
sixty millions would be saved. Now
the utmost that is claimed is thirty
nine millions, and Mr.. Window g
analysis shows that even this pretense
is made plausible by a series of sup
pressions and falsiicati ms that are as
puerile as they are impudent. De-
iciencies voted in 1875, and which of
course related to the expenditures of
the previous year, are included in the
total which is used for comparison.
"Unexpended balances" have been
treated in the same way. Tne Cen
tennial appropriation Of last year is in
Guided. while the much larger appro-
priation Of this season is omitted.
There are other tricks of the same
sort, and thus the pretended savings
are magnified to the extent of nine
millions. In the next place various
necessary expenditures, amounting to
more than five millions, have been
postponed, and will figure in the ap-
preparations of next session. Defc-
iencies which also will have to be sup
piled next winter amount to nearly
eight millions. Two millions are
saved" by shameful disregard of the
obligation to pay amounts awarded by
final judgments of the Court of Claims
in other words, by population of
what have been judicially declared ma
tional liabilities. Credit is, moreover,
taken for reductions in department a |
estimates, the work of Republican
officials; and, on the other hand, re-
auctions are claimed on account of
works that are finished The two
items exceed four millions. Twenty
eight millions In round figures must
therefore be struck off the grand total
of democratic retrenchment, bringing
it down to about eleven millions. Nor
is this all. Some of the reductions
not included in the above category
impair the efficiency of different
branches of the public service. Mr..
WINDOWS view of the matter is that
this spurious form of saving represents
nearly all that remains at the credit of
the House on account of its boosted
labor.

The j Jefferson Banner has started
another bugbear story on Hon. L. B.
Caswell, to-wit, that he is distributing
public documents though the mails
contrary to law. Mr. Caswell is doing
nothing which the law says he shall
not do, nor is he doing anything which
every member of Congress does not
DO, be he democrat or republican. The
law permits Congressional speeches,
being portion of the official record,
to pass through the mails free, and it
is this of which the Banner complains.
The editor probably knows what the law
is as well as we do, bnt having been SO
long associated with Governor "Who
prostituted himself to the level of a
common thief" be cannot avoid these
trifiing inaccuracies of statement, and
they must be expected from him. s

SEVERAL Democratic papers having
charged that Carl Schurzs support of
Hayes and Wheeler is based upon the
promise of a seat in the Cabinet or a
foreign mission, DIR. Preetorius, of the
Westliche Post, states in his paper
that Immediately after the nomination
of Tilden his (Tilden's) friends ap.
preached him (Preetorius) and offered
to guarantee Schurz any seat in the
Cabinet which he should choose, or the
mission to Berlin, upon condition Of
his support OF Tilden. And yet the
Democratic party is the party of re-
torm"-the party that is shocked al
any thing like trading in Offices! Per-
haps the Democratic organs will give
the public rest in regard to Schurz.

The Rem1ck Giro ular.

ful amount of ignorance last week, o,
overtaxed the credulity Of their read
ers to a remarkable extent, in what
they said with reference to the ere
mick Circular" More brazen and
impudent, if not more stupid.
than any other democrats of whom we
have heard, they charge that the cir
cular was issued by the republican
campaign committee, and that failing
in the purpose for which it was in.
tended, republicans are now trying to
shift the responsibility upon democrats.
This simply shows that the boys don't
know what they are talking about, and
suggests that they have mistaken their
calling in attempting te edit news
paper. They should keep better post
ed. Had they first informed them
selves in what they were writing about,
they would have found that DR.. An
derson, chairman of the democratic
state central committee, was the orig.
inator of the scheme, and that Remick
is a youth Of about 20 summers, in
Anderson's employ as a clerk, whose
name was appended to the circular, as
secretary. They would have further
ascertained that the answers requested
to be returned to said circular, were
delivered to that pure performer"
James r, Doolittle, II Clark St., Chi
cago, by whom, or his Office clerk, they
were forwarded to Anderson at La
Crosse. They would likewise have
learned that the disreputable and dis.
graceful attempt to steal the republi.
can organization was SO distasteful te
certain members of the committee
that meeting of that body was called
at Madison last week, fer the avowed
purpose of throwing Anderson over
board as chairman. Anderson begged
SO piteously, however; and demonstra-
ted SO conclusiVely that the fraud was
sanctioned by Tilden, who played a
similar game IN New York when he
was elected Governor, that they fore
bore vengeance, leaving Anderson, the
trickster undisturbed In his position.
1t is beautiful commentary upon the
professions of a party laying claim to
reform, and promising to purify and
make politics better.

HOWEVER unpaiatable the trut' nay
he to democrats, it is a fact, never
theless, that Maj. Gardner is master of
the situation, and has the Watertown
democracy on the hip. They may
deny his right to claim the leadership
of the party, but while they are doing
so he is adding fresh laurels to his
wreath of fame and glory, and laugh
ing the small fry and vanquished to
scorn. His latest achievement, the
brilliancy of which We dare say was
never ecliped by any maneauvre of
his when bushwhacking Northern SOL
diers in the army, has only confirmed
bis title to tie role of dictator and
boss. The cohorts of Burchard were
placed hors 9u combat, and death, de-
struction and democratic gore were
strewn in every direction in the 9Th
and 9th wards: as Gardner marshaled
his forces and made his gallant charge
which was to win the day for Bragg.
Gardner goes himself to the Congress-
ional convention as delegate. a nd
pledged against the nomination of
Burchard. But it does not by any
means follow that he will not support
him after all. IF he finds, as he un-
doubtedly will, that Burchard's nomi-
nation is an assured fact without his
vote, he will desert Bragg, support
Bnrchard, and thus become the power
behind the thrown, in case Of Tllden's
election, in the dispensation of patron
age in this locality. Why not? Sam
wants Gardner's vote. and Gardner
wants Sans influence. Both being
fellows of easy political virtue, they
can readily come to terms Gardner
dictated the policy of the party in the
spring election; was subsequently
chosen a delegate to the state conven-
ton in Milwaukee; afterwards made a
speech there at Tilden ratification
meeting; and now has met with anoth-
er triumph by being sent as delegate
to the Congressional convention in
spite Of bitter and relentless opposi-
ton. For the party to now expect
him to take back seat, is to show how
painfully ignorant it is, as to what man
per of man Gardner is. Democrats in
Watertown may as well make up their
minds now as at any time, that if they
want Office in case of Tilden's election,
their applications will not be consider
ed unless first approved by Maj. Gard

WE have heretofore alluded to the
fact that Fl s. Orion, of the law firm
of Orion, Mulberger & Gardner, of
this city, is talked of for Congress by
the democrats in this district. The
WATERFOWL Democrat came out for him
in vigorous article at the instigation,
as we understand, of Judge Orton's
partner, Maj. Gardner. 1t was very
cunning and shrewd device, and hand
somely executed. to say the least.
How the boys of the Democrat allow
ed themselves to be thus played upon
we cannot imagine. 1t was genuine
Heather Chinee performance. La the
first place it was little rough on Sena
tor Reed and George w. Bird, who
have each an eye on the nominate on;
but it was likewise several points in
the score for Gardner in the little
game he is playing for the leadership
of his party in Watertown. Ofcourse
no one is simple enough to believe that
Orion can be elected, but the custom
is to allow defeated candidates for
Congress to control the government
patronage in the district, when of the
same political faith as the adninistra-
tion. There are thus but two obsta-
c'es in the way Of Gardeners being the
grand dispenser of official pap in JEFF
ferson county. One is the nomination
Of his friend and partner, Judge Or
ton, for Congress, and the other is the
election of Tilden. The first may pos.
sibly be overcome, but the latter can
not be. Hence, Gardner is not liable
to profit by his strategy in the least,
but he is deserving of credit for the
skill with which he manipulated the
wires.

THROUGH the niggardliness of the
democratic House of Representatives
in refusing to make any appropriation
for the purpose, the Post Office De
partment, is unable to establish large
number of money order Offices which
it was the intention to do the lst of
July. In all probability, good many
Offices now in existence will have to
be discontinued by reason of the nee
essary appropriation being withheld.
And this is what is being served up to
the people as "Retrenchment and Re-
form." Vive humbug.
