THE LINCOLN TOMB ROBBERY.

An editorial article in the later Ocean OF
Monday morning throws little light upon
the aiteu pied desecration Of the tomb OF
Lincoln. The outrage was one OF oh 6
dastardly character, so shocking to the whole
country, and the object Of the perpetra.
tors such an inscrutable mystery, that no.
body has been able to form any reasonable
theory upon which to account for it. The
LntT-Ooedn intimates rather plainly that
the robbery was put up job, intended to
serve as an electioneering dodge, in favor
of Mr.. Washburn, exChief of the Secret
Service, in Washington, and adds:
"Mr. Washbum is a candidate for Super
intendent of Police in this city. The dis
covery and frustr alton of such q shocking
deed insures him the gratitude not only OF
the people OF Chicago, but of the entire
country. He has just been removed as
Chief of the Secret Service in Washington.
L. this plan TO bring himself into noto-
riety and popularity, exceeding all that he
has enjoyed before? We can hardly credit
such q thing, and yet this affair has 6shy
smell from beginning to end"
We should be 10th to think that any
man worthy Of the name Of an American
citizen would stoop to an act 90 horrible,
80 sacrelisious and SO revolving to every
instinct CT humanity, for the purpose Of
furthering some paltry personal end, and
yet the Giro INSTANCES attending this shock
ing affair all point to some such explains
ton as this. The report of this crime
shocked the whole country, and if, as the
Inter Ocean says, it shall appear that 60
solemn and sacred subject has been made
the vehicle of petty ambition, the perpe-
traitors deserve to be dashed naked through
the world.

WHO USTNFAUIT.

Some ten days before the election the
publisher Of this paper addressed letter
TO III. Miles Moore, at Lesvenworth, desIr-
ing to know if there was any possibility OF
getting 500 or 1000 copies of the address
of the Republicans Of Leavenworth to the
Republicans OF Kansas" to distribute
throughout Jefferson county. This address
was devoted to the shortcomings OF Geo. l..
Anthony. The election passed off and We
heard no word from Leavenworth. After
the election was over, one evening the hack
driver brought US a package, the cover OF
which was mutilated and torn, directed to
"B. K. Wilson, Democratic Central Com
Mite, Oskaloosa." This package came
over the Kansas Central railroad. We
will try and find out something more about
this affair.-OSkaloosd Sickle and SheGt.
There was package Of 900 OF those adj
dresses sent from The TINES Office, 10 Mr..
Wilson, November 3, 1876. We do not
know why they were not delivered prompt
" on the same evening. We do know how
ever, that this is only one OF many instances
in which these addresses were delayed in
the delivering.

pRCSuDENT PRO TEN.

Senator Blaine will not be elected Presi-
dent pro te1a. of the Senate, for the reason
that his term Of ofIice expires at noon on
the 18th Of March, and he could not hold
over in the contingency which suggested his
election TO the chair of the Senate. Presi-
dent pro tenn. Ferry's term also expires at
the same time, as does also that OF Senator
Anthony, the father of the Senate. 1t Is
probable that Senator Conkling, OF New
York, may be elected President pro tenn,
and in the case of trouble over counting the
vote for President being continued beyond
the 18th of March, he would be acting Pres
ident of the United States. Senator Blaine
positively denies, as will be seen by our
dispatches this morning, any responsibility
Tor the story connecting his name with the
posiriou-ssys he would not take it il he

THE LYNDON TIMES Is RIGHT.

tsThe CRY set up by the Leav.nwo tn TINES and
other opposition Journals like the Ottawa Triumph
CowIey county 7esrdm, Lyndon Tims, and hall
dozen papers Of that ilk, that Republicans have
scratched Mr.. Anthony because of his dishonesty
is an bo-h Mr.. Anthony has received the vote
of the Republicans Of the stat ex -ept where II
has been controlled by the liquor interest. He
will 60 into the Governors chair nav Nc the con.
fdence of the Republicans OF the tate, and VIII
make al least as good Governor As Prior ones,
and that is all that We can ask ''-ROten Common
Uedih.
We ask of the Commonwealth this ques-
ton: II they did not scratch him" be-
cause of his dishonesty, what in the world
did they ".cratch him" for? Ten thousand
of them SCRATCHED him" according to your
own figures. Mr. Baker says: "Mr. An
thony has received the vote of the Republic
cans of the State except where it has been
controlled by the liquor interest" Let US
see about that. We saw several Republicans
scratch Mr.. Anthony election day and vote
for Mr.. Hudson and Mr.. Martin, and every
one of them we're sober temperance men.
We also saw several Republicans who were
under the influence OF Liquor and Its
interest" who swore they would vote for
Geo. T. Anthony if they knew he would
steal the whole State, before they would
vote for any man that was not RePubli-
can nominee" Baker will do the same
thing. His record in the Topeka Lottery
swindle assures us of that fact. Veal and
Anthony are men to whom that editor
"points with pride" Cheese men and lot
terry swindlers suit the Commonwealth outfit.

1t was the Wholesale whisky element in
this city that supported George rs nomi-
nation. Only three out Of fourteen dele
gates from this county, originally support
ed George T. in the convention
One of the three was a wholesale whisky
seller, another was fellow who hasn't
sense enough of his own to know what he
does want, and was the mere tool of the
whisky seller; and the third was devoted
friend of the whisky seller, who is a candi-
date for the position of State Architect, and
boss man at the Penitentiary.
During the election all the leading
whisky bummers in town supported George
L. On election day whisky bloats were
furnished with money, and the drunken
vagabonds made the day hideous with their
bowls for purity and George I.
The fact is, that the sober, moral Repub-
licans OF this county were disguised at the
means employed by George I. to carry this
county, and they either declined to vote or
Use voted for John Martin.
