Facts About Parties.

If Tilden is elected, it may be sci
down as certain, that no Republican
paper or member of the Republican
party will get any support from the
Democratic party. That party never
does such tniHgs. They support their
own members and own papers. This
they do in Kansas in every locality in
which they get a foothold. One never
sees Republican in Office where
Democrats have control. Nothing is
more common than to see Democrats
in office in Republican counties. 1t is
about time that such things be stopped.
&C ". Nouembea 8th.
Magnanimity is a good thing, and so
far as there has ever been any shown
by or between Democrats or Republic
cans, it has always been on the side of
the Republicans. In fact, when Re-
publicans are in power, Democratic
politicians and newspapers get almost
as many party favors as Republican
ones do. But when Democrats are in
power, no Republican gets as much as
a smell of the good thing that fall from
the political table. This is all wrong,
and is one important reason why the
Republican party fails 10 keep up it's
organization as well, and in as good
working order as does the Democratic
party. In the distribution of political
favors, il is right that each party
should favor its own members, and
Democrats understand and act upon
this principle. while Republicans are
too apt to do exactly the opposite

Resound Of Russian Notes Of War.

Reuter- telegram from ST. Peters
burg states that in pursuance of the
partial mobilization of the Russian
arm, preparations are now beiLg made
for the mobilization of corps. Move
able hospitals are also being got ready.
Committees of ladies have been
formed on the model of those which
worked with so much success during
the Franco-German war, for the pri-
vate nursing of the wounded. The
empress of Russia and the grand
duchess,it is stated, have assumed pat
ronage of the associations.
II is improbable that General Tcher-
neyef will retain command of the Ser
Wan army in the event of Russia being
TO action, as his whole conduct in Ser
via has not given satisfaction III official
quarters.
A Paris correspondent says the prin-
cipal obstacle to the war seems to be
removed. The RothchiIds are said to
have been prompted TO advance Russia
money. The loan will not be made
public. Russia's conditions are said
on exchange to be so favorable that
the Ro,hchllds can easily dispose of
the loans privately.
A telegram from Constantinople re-
ceived says that Turkey agrees uncou-
ditionally to conference.

Bad Business.

A correspondence of the New York
Tribune says truly Zone great rea-
son of the Democratic virulence and
loud talk, fear the public overlooks.
The active sporting politicians are
ruined, fincially, if they have to pay
their debts. Millions of dollars are in
the hands Of Morrissey and Johnson
to await the result. The fight, if the
election IN the end seems TO favor
Hayes, will be made as long and des-
perate as possible TO give Morrissey an
eqcuse for not paying over Republican
winnings. This is a more serious fac
tor in the problem than many people
are aware of. know prominent men
who will be utterly ruined by Re
publican victory"

The Pail Mall Gazette, of November

Eastern question, which concludes as
follows: English jealousy, English
suspicion is thoroughly aroused. Any
act on the part of Russia in the direc-
ton of her suspected aims would
deepen this suspicion into active hos
tilities, and not only leave the govern
ment free to act against Russia, but IN

The Youngers.

The Grand Jury found four
indictments against the Younger
brothers, Cole, James, and Robert.
This afternoon they were arrained.
They were escorted to the Court
House from the Jail by detachments of
armed men. Cole was is in the others
shackled on each side. There were
large crowds of citizens in the street
and in the court room, including many
ladies. The sbacklcs were removed
from the prisOnes and County Attor-
uey Baxter read the Indictment for
the murder of Haywood. The Court
asked the prisoners if their true names
were read, and all acknowled that they
were. After the reading the counsel
asked for time to plead, aud it was
set for next Saturday afternoon. The
indictments charged Cole with the
murder of the Swedc, Gustavson, and
the brothers as accessories. Cole show
ed signs of nervousness. No demon
strations was made by the popuiace
except quietly by few irresponsible
men, who were quickly silenced. The
boys showed sense of relief when
safe in Sheriff Barton and the citizens.

The second rumor is that the Demo-
cratic Governor of California, Irwin,
does not propose to issue certificates
to the Hayes Electors until after he
has examined certain alleged frauds in
some districts, the Inference being that
if his investigation did not suit him
he would refuse altogether to issue The
certificates, and thus constitute him
self a Returning Board. The Republic
cans nswer that if the Democrats try
any tricks of this sort, the Republi-
can Governor of North Carolina
Brogden, will decline, for much better
reasons, to issue certificates to the
Democratic Electors in that State. 1t
happens that North Carolina has ten
Electoral votes. while California has
but six, SO that iftrickery Of this kind
is TO be played the Republicans insist
that they are not without remedy

A Cams Two Can PLAY.

Gen. Ineligibility is now the sole re
manning hope of the Democrats. They
have discovered that one of the Re.
publican electors in Vermont aud an.
other III Greg on were ineligible to that
office by reason of holding Federal ap-
pointments. But they have also made
the discovery-or at least the Rcpu5-
licans have--that the name of Demo
cratic elector in Connecticut was mis-
spelled on part of the ballots, and
that several southern Democratic
electors are ineligible because OF fail
ure to remove their political disabili-
ties. IL is also stated that a number
of others are disqualified by reason of
having sent or accepted challenges to
fight duels, and at least two by indict-
ment or conviction of crime. So the
disability dodge reacts upon its au-
thors. The Democratic bunderbuss
is very like the Hudibrastic shotgun

From the Chicago Journal
President Grant on the Situation.

NO man worthy of the Office of
President should be willing to hold it
if counted in or placed there by
fraud. Either party can afford to be
disappointed in the result. The cOun-
try cannot afford to have the result
tainted by suspicion of illegal or
false returns. L. 5. GRANT"
No grander political sentiment was
ever uttered than the one embodied in
these few words addressed to the
General of the army by the President
of The United States. They will live
in history, and be prouder and more
enduring monument to the honor of
the name of Grant than any marble
shaft or panee Uric. As they go upon
the wings of the lightning to the civ
ilized world, the proclaim in most uu-
mistakable language the high moral
tone of American politics. AS COM
pared with an ideal Republic, ours is
low and corrupt, perhaps; but as COM
pared with any other Government and
country, ancient or modern, the United
States is model of justice. Nowhere
else in history or the record of current
events can be found any such defer
ence to the rights OF the People and
the demands of equity as President
Grant expresses. lie only gives voice
to the prevailing sentiment of the
country. Great as would be the ca
lamity of Tilden in the Presidential
chair, we should deeply regret to see
him debarred from it if he was actual
ly and fairly elected. The doctrine of
doing evil that good may come is per-
ncious. especially in politics
The position taken by the President
is the only one that can be taken with
safety to the country. We are not
afraid of war or any other immediate
disaster of National sort, in any
event; but a precedent is being estab-
lished 1t is very difficult thing to
conduct Presidential election in such
a way as TO maintain unimpaired the
political privileges OF the people.
Every four years the machinery of
is put to q severe
strain. Once begin to break the cogs
or cut the bands, and there is no tell
ing where il will all end. We must
guard assiduously every approach to
political anarchy, and strengthen all
the barriers against it.

Arrest of the Despoilers Of the Tomb of Lincoln

18th United States Detectives Tyrrel
and Washburn, with the aid of two
local detectives, captured the two men
who attempted to steal the bones OF

.or of the Hub saloon, 294 West Madi-

will have the entire Southwest almost
solid. But outside of his favorable To-
cation his eminent ability and fitness,

dable candidate in all parts of the
State. Among his six or seven compe-
ritors, prominent will be Senator Har-

Hayes carries eighteen Northern

Tilden carries four Northern States
with sixty-five electoral votes. In the
eighteen States carried by Hayes hi:
popular majority is 259.so0, while Til

ried, is 43,S0o. Thus it is shown that
