PERCENTAGE IN PoLIfics. IT h @
Democrats are in the percentage
business again. They are trying to
demonstrate that the same percen-
tase sf gain on hs vote of,lS72. in
Vermont and Maine, will give them
Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
some other States. The claim is, of
course, fallacious, as tho Republican
nGjority in both these States is
WITHIN small fraction of what it was
in 1873, when the Democracy we're
demoralized by having liberal Re,
publican, and not a Democrat as
their candidate for President, Last
year, when the Republican M aiority
in Maine fell TO some $500, We had
this same percentage calculation, by
which it was shown, very clearly to
thair satisfaction, z that D Parshing

The Younger Boys in Wichita.

"There is many Flip between the cup and
lip and fair tally OF the number would
probably show as many lucky slips a. disas-
trous ones. what the character of the slip that
saved Wichita from, or defrauded her of, the
notoriety of Mortified, Minnesota, we must
leave our readers 20 settle. That Wichita was
chosen by the Younger and James Brothers as
the theatre for the bold robbery committed,
and terrible tragedy aftcrward enacted at
Mortified, Minnesota, we have the most salts
factory evidence. To the failure of the First
National Bank are we indebted, alone, for an
escape from robbery, if not bloodshed. We
believe it is not known to our City Marshal or
police, to this day, that Cole Younger and a
portion of the Younger and James gangs, con-
sisting Of the three afterwards hung, and the
two now in the penitentiary, were in Wichita
at the time of the failure of the First National
Bank, for the sole purpose of going through
that institution. The fact of the large amount
Of money necessary to move the Texas cattle
and the vast amount of grain that found a
market here, ne doubt convinced them that
Wichita was the most favorable point for the
nefarous job. They were in our place be-
tween two and three weeks. One OF the par
ty was very genteelly dressed, and acted and
talked like an intelligent business man, and he
thoroughly posted himself as to the ms and
cuts of all our banks. Another OF the party
was genteel-shabby va man at least forty-fiye
years old, whom one would judge to have
seen better days. The latter wanted land but
was not ayerse to taking drink with the
boys. The others we know nothing about.
and don't that we ever saw them. They were
at no time together Their arrangements, so far
as known, were to have gone through the Ma
tional Bank in daylight, upon the same pro-
gramme carried out IN Northfield, where, il
will be remembered, portion of the gang
rode up and down the street, yelling like de-
mons and shooting off their pistols. playing
drunk, while others, during the street excite
ment, entered the bank and robbed its vault
aud killed the cashier. We venture the as
sertion that it was a good thing for them that
the bank busted while it might have been q
good thing for the banks stockholders and Of
tieers had they succeeded. Upon the one
band, our officers and people would not have
been panic stricken or stood, for moment
any such nonsense as shooting revolvers on the
open street, while upon the other hand, the
bank, just before closing, was very short of
money, and had the robbers went through it,
nobody but themselves and the officers would
ever have known how much they got. We
are not permitted at this time to give the
source OF our Information, but we assure our
readers that Is perfectly reliable. In truth,
the whole matter was known to a few, imme-
diately after the failure OF the First National
Bank

The New York Observer claims to publish
the best family newspaper, and repudiates all
unsound or Objectionable teaching. Even its
advertising columns are free from all qnack-
cry and dangerous advertisements: and the
whole paper, both in its religious and its gee
ular department, is filed with pure and enter
tanning reading. While We commend the po-
sition Of the Observer in this matter, We also
heartily endorse it as one OF the most desir-
able periodicals for any household. The price,
