A Washington Street Incident,

She was-says the Washington Capital-a rather pretty young woman, wearing a sealskin cap and carrying her parasol like d riding whip. She seemed to be looking for somebody, without any very definite idea of who the body was, and when a green-look ing young man came tramping timidly up the street she address ed herself to him and asked:
 "Did you speak to me sir?"
 "No, miss," he answered.

A Stvvepipe Hat in Texas.

A party of men came down from

 for drinking at the Capitol store. One of them, whose name was Hammer, said that hn corld whin any man in Austin who had or d

 hat returned to the saloon. When the parties from LlanO returned, Thompson was talking in 8 jOvial sort of way about being a north ern man on a tour for his health, but that he believed that he could whip any man in Texas. Han. ner said, "You do? Well, you are the man for me" (Or something to that effect), at the same time l drawing a siX-shooter. But be- fore he could cock it Thompson fired at him, the ball entering near his ear and coming out at | the back of his neck. Hammer then started ecrOss the street, still trying to cock his pistol, when Scott fired a second time, the ball taking effect in Tanners back.

the files of the Radical press of New York
to prove what his record has been. The
New York Times, the leading Republican
paper OF this country, and now Mr.. TIL
den' chief defsmer, has given columns
of testimony for Tilden, which will sbund-
antly prove that Mr.. Tilden is the man of

In the present campaign. We publish
elsewhere a collation. of Times editorials,
and 1t should be remembered that these
were written while Mr.. Tilden was pri-

They must be sccep pied as the plain unbi-
ased truth. These utterances present q
contrast with the present course of the
Times ridiculous in the extreme. To meet
the slanderous statements that the Times
is now putting forth, these chapters OF
Tilden's reform record as presented by the
Times are reproduced In the Sentinel. Let

The spontaneous gathering a the Bates
House last evening was q worthy tribute
to Indisna's fsvorite orator. He arrived
here on his way from Washington and
stopped over night to attend to some
private business, with no thought OF
spes king, or that his presence would be
known in the city. Somebody caught a
glimpse of him, and in fiveminutes he was
notified that the Tilden and Hendricks
clubs would be there Immediately to ten

the streets were blocksded in 'front.' of the
Bates to greet him. Mr.. VOORHEES, re-

voting the proceeds for corrupt

the cabinet filled with men like Harlan.
Williams, Belknap, Robson, Delsno and

lions are to be expected under Hayes, for
they have taken place under Grant, and
the same men that have made Grant what
he is will make Hayes the same kind OF
president Grant was; for Morson SAYS
that he will not offend or cut
loose from those who elected him.
Morton expects to control in Indiana, or
be will help break Hayes down; Logan
will control in Illinois, Conkling in New
York, Cameron in Pennsylvania, and so
on. They were Grants friends. They
would be Hayes friends. 1t therefore be-
comes the people who would most GER
t4inly have defeated Grant to defeat Hayes,
f according to Morton his administers
ton will be the same. Do the people want
any more OF Grantism? Do they want q
continuation OF high taxes? Do they want
to pay 80, 900 office-holders high salaries? Do
they want a perpetustion of the doctrine
of hate. Do they want to see the Southern
states continually embroiled? Do they
want in this free republic third of the
states ruled by the sword and continually
threatened with military intimidation
Do they want the memory of frstricidal
war perpeIusted forever? If so, then we
have ceased in spirit to be a republic.

thrown and liberty is dead.

his success snd the necessary labor to &C
complish 1t, we must take several things
into consideration. And first, we must
not be unmindful of the INSCRIPTIONS ef-
forts that will be made for his defeat. the
Radicals are yet smsiting over their de-
feat two years ago in this sforetime
stronghold, and the dsstsrdly acts of the
Radical party here last spring were made
as provision for further corruption and
success this fall. In this city they will ap-
point INSCRIPTIONS judges. The miserable
incompstents called the city police, how
ever inefficient they be in the duties for
which they are paid by the city, will
not be found wanting when corruption OF
the baIlot-box is made part OF their duty.
Ali these things must be taken into consid-
GRAFTON and provided for by earnestly sp-
psaliDg to the people to see to it that their
will be not thwsrted by foul means.
Then again, there is work to be done.
Every man in the district does not yet be-
lieve that the present business depression
is caused by Radical legislation. The facts
and figures must be brought to their door
Dy speeches, pamphlets, newspapers
and personal visitation. Every Democrat
awakened to sense OF the alarming cor.
ruptions of the Radical party owes it as a
duty to his fellow man to strive with
Others, to open their eyes, blinded by po-
litical pre- udice, that they may see and L o
longer support party that Is reeking with
rottenness, despoiling the treasury and
dsgrscing the nation. Now, if ever, DEM
CORA s are expected to do their duty. In
this district the Radical party expect to
achieve state victory. Their only hope,
if they have any at all, is here.
Two years ago Franklin Lsnders was
elected by handsome majority. What
man who voted for him then will desert
him now? What reason is there for
Withholding further confidence? He
has redeemed his pledges. Amid the
sneers OF men OF less minds, though
more experience in public life, he
has gone steadily forward, and he
returns to US in lew days with the proud
consciousness that no has not la5orsd in
vain. The resumption bill has been re-
.pealed by the House, and the Democracy
sanction the act in convention and by
their standard bearers. 1t is therefore
every way fit, just and reasonable thai
the labors and fsithfolness of Mr.. Landers
should be recogniz ID by returning him to
Congress BY large mel pri'y.

this effort of Morton in answer to the de-
msnd for reform by the people. II will
not answer, ths people are tired OF it, and
they are tired of such defenss OF the cor
ruption of the present administration.
Taking fair survey of the speech as a
whole, we pronounce it one of the poorest
of Morton's efforts. 1t is in no sense a
campaign document for his followers in
this state. He attempts a great deal and
has accomplished little. Mere assertion
and vitupsration will not answer in this
canvass. Morton's party must make
a stronger defense than this, or
the people will treat the party as summsr-
lily as Friedley and Foster did Orth, and
tell them to step down and out.
There are many points in Morton's
speech that will attract attention TOR their
satanic malignity. One is the attack upon
the independent Republicans who favored
reform and desired the nomination OF
Bristow. To call such men as Trumbull,
Julian. Dana, Curtis, Charles Francis
Adams, BJwles, Hoadly and Sisllo "the
broken-down fugitives from the Rspub
licsn party who have bsen kicked out for
incspaciiy and fraud" is an infamous ut
terance that could only come from heart

There is a marked difference in the trea.
ment which Hayes receives from the
Democratic press, and that which Tilden
and Headricks have to endure from Radi-
cal newspapers and orators. Before Mr..
Tilden wss in the political arena, he was
praised by r 4dicsls for honesty and in
tegrity, now he is abused and s'sndered.
But the r sdical papers affirm that Dsmo-
Gratis can not say anything against Hayes
This is complimentary TO Democratic
trpi hfulness. 1T Democrats would lie on
Hayes as the Radicals do about Tlden and
Hendricks, he would be posted as a horse
thief from Maine 10 Georgia. This SLAM
derous policy is to be exp scted from Radi-
cal corruptionists. They are fighting to
retain their grip upon the treasury. They
see the reform movement among the people
and tremble. They cry" Stop, thiefp' at
Tilden on the old principle. to divert stten-
ton from themselves. But with all their
efforts they do not succeed in making their
charges stick. Mr.. TIlden has a character
that is unsssailable. No single charge
impeschihg bis integrity Is sustained
Their charger fall upon the country In
their worthlessness, and nobody believes
them. They do Mr.. Tilden no more damage
than did Morton's attack upon Hendricks
here in his own home.

In the new American Encylcp 3dis, page
607. volume 10, the historical fact Is men,
toned that a triumph was granted by the
Senate OF Rome TO a general who had
gained al important victory, II the vic
tory had been gained over foreign enemy
and not in civil war, aud the war had
been concluded. Adam, in his Roman An
tiquity, p zee 326. says: "a triumph was
decreed by the Senate, and sometimes by
the people, against the will OF the Senate,
to the gen raj who, in a just war with
foreigners" had by victory enlarged tie
limits of the republic. etc, but that "there
was no just triumph for victory in a
civil war" Luckey, In his "Hlstory OF
European Morals" makes reference to this
striking fac. AS these triumphs were cele-
brsted only after the war was over,
had they been allowed and pracliced in
cases of civil war, their tendency would
have been to keep alive bitterness of teel-
ing among the psople, to revive memories
OF triumph on one side and humiliation on
the other, to perpetuste oiscord and dis
turbsnce in the republic instead of peace
and concord. Hence, they were not toll
Grated by the noble senate and people of
Rome. Was the policy pursued wise one |?
What was les effecb in building up the
great republic? Has not the wisdom of
the Ro Ian seus'e received the approving
plaudits of mankind?
How different the course of Morton and
the Republican leaders in our republic?
At each recurring election the civil war
must be fought over, the triumphs OF the
generals of the victorious party must be
celebrated with professions, orstions and
oonfires, aud sectional and personal hates
must be stimulated. And yet Morton pro-
fesses to be Christ an statesman! How
inferior in nobility of soul and 10 mag
nsnimity to the Pagan statesmen of the
Roman republic!
But is his policy wise? Our republic is
one in which domestic peace and concord
and harmony are peculiarly necessary to
her material development and business
prosperity. Our couutry is large, the vari-
ETY. OF her productions Is great. differing
iu different sections. Hence, we should
enjoy a vast internal commerce. 1t
should be the great source of our prosper

spect that sections should not war upon
sections, but that the utmost good will
should prevail among the people OF all
sections,

Following MortOD's "key note" promi-
nent Republican speakers in this state,
such as Curry, Cobarn aud other sccred-
tied party expounders, ara roundly assert
ing that Grants administration is the
purest, most economical and praiseworthy
that this nation has ever enjoyed. They
take square ground against any need OF re-
form. In this they are fair. Republican
political leaders are not, as 10 alter of fact,
in favor of reform, and they are
to be commended for hsnkly saying
30. But the voters OF this nation
almost unanimously dsmand reiorms-
ton OF the most app Illing abuses that ever
disgraced any government. They can now
understand the Republican party and act
accordingly. Those who are for retrench-
ment and reform will support the Demo
eIatic state and national tickets. There is
no other alternative.
