BE1KNAps POLITICAL RECORD.
The Chicago Tines says:
or conrro THE TRIBUNE doesn't expect lt1 readers
to hcuoya thia stuff: BxIKNAP Has alwaJs Detno-
at,-wont Into the War one out one waa pro-
1noted when one, aud was one when hs fell Dut no
fcol bitterly The lsgraceful causs Of that fall
II he had been born and lived Republican"
The TRIBUNE expects its renders to believe
Just precisely this "stuf," because 1t is tho
truth. In charaoterizing BELxHAp's bribery
rs o national disgrace, TEE TunuxE but gago
expression to tho profound public sense of
tho ahamo it brought upon the whole coun-
Try. Thercas up start tho journalistic spokcs-
men and defenders Of tho Democratic
party; and, in their chop-logio fashion,
assuming TINT BE1KNAp was q bribo-
doluco that tho groat Republican party
is aharor in Lis guilt, and that It is season
for Republicans to hide their faces for worry
shame's sake. TnE TRIBUNE has not boon in
tho habit Of assuming that because man
was Domocrat ho waa necessarily thief
and blacmailer; and notwithstanding tho
record OF the TwEEps, swEEsrs, CoNo1IYs,
ASoAe17SA5aof NAAoo1h7t oAAHA4A17s ouau~
hAKEns, F1oyDs, and TnoMpsoNa, the honest
aud decent mon Of that party can hardly DO
considered as sharcr' In their infa1ny.
Since, howovor. that style Of argument Is
being applied by tho Democratic press in the
DE1KNAr case, It ia porhnps we'll that tho
Democracy should enjoy tho full benefit Of
all that can be mado out Of it. Tint they
can only do, whom it Is kept in mind, as is
tho fact, thnt BE1HNAr entered public Nto IS
Democrat, and continued Democrat up to
and during tho time he was filling his pockets
with official bribes. About twenty years ago
ho made Lis advent in Iowa, as his fellow
townamen at Keokuk boar witness, as an ac-
tive local Democratic politician, md as such
WINS elected to tho Legislature. During his
term Of Office rs Democratic mombor Of the
1owalegialature was It that tho first insightin-
to thetrue-inwardncss Of tho man was afforded
by his e1nbezzlomeut OF the funds Of clients,
intrusted to him as laWyer, and which his
law-partnor in Practice had to mako gool
Shortly aftor tho close OF his legislative
term tho Democratic Rebellion broke out, and
he entered the army, whero ho distinguished
himsolf by his gallantry aud bravery, which
secured his rnpid promotion md enlisted tho
friendship and estoc1n Of Gen. GRANT. uia
brilliant porsonnl daring, ono Of tho most

ADJUTAET GENERAL STEELE expresst s
surprise at the assertions of the Burnet
Bulletin He says the editor of that paper
and the sheriff of Burnet county came TO
his Office togelner, aud learned from him
that a company was being organized to
proceed to Burnett and adjoining counties.
The gentlemen, he said, expressed hope
that a portion of the company would be
raised in their county, which was objected
to for the reason that men living IN that
section might have prejudices that wou
influence their conduct. Major jones was
present during the interview, and consulted
with the gentlemen as to some convenient
place for camp in easy reach of Llano and
Lampasas counties. "

years ago, insugurated the work last

see, unless the Vermont ring be strong
enough TO buy the managers of the job at
Washington, as when head stones were
supplied for Federal soldiers graves. Then
the thieves were potent enough Co set aside
tine lowest and compel the acceptance OF
the highest bid, and it is said tha' soldiers
skeletons were parceled OUT that at least
two head-stOnes might he awarded each
ard the volume of eacL fallen hero's fame
was thus duplicated. They were good
men and patriots who made doubly memoir
able the names If the gallant dead. But
since there are quarr.es a. our very doors.
