The OUrLooK Mr.. Watterson
of the Louisville Courier-JOurnal (ln-
dependenD gives up the Independent
vote. He says :
"For three successive campaigns
the Democratic party has bsen forced
to compromise part of itself. This
time it will try it alone = plain,
straight-no sugar or sugar of lead in
1t. There is an Independent voter,
and being lively animal he is not
going to be suppressed and will have
to take himself somewhere. For our
part, Judging him by his oracles, we
despair of him. He will never act
against the Republican party in a
crisis unless the Democratic party be
out of the way, and this is impossible
lust vet. We therefore look to see
him a good Republican, providing
Morton or Conklins is not the Re
publican nominee, and we do not ex-
pect to find him much of a disturbing
element at Cincinnati. More's the
pity, we confess, but it is well to take
things as they are"

STEWARDS WEAKNESS - A New
York letter writer gives the follow
ing particulars regarding Mr.. A. i.
Stewards social mattere:
His only weakness, and | say it to
his credit, was for women, and the
affection and money he is alleged to
have lavished upon the Rushton and
Demar women, and the affeclionate
care he took of his illegilimsto chill
dren wero traits we'll worthy of no.
tice, but they have beon passed over
in silence. HIS only two legitimate
children, son and daughter, died
years ago, and he showed the sffcc-
ton he owed them to his irregular
offspring. Two illegitimate daught-
ers are now in Dresden, where they
were educated at his expense, and a
favorite iIlcgitimate son holds posi-
ton in the branch house at Paris. 1t
was bis regard for thcse children, and
his attentions to their mother, and
to the mothers of othor less known
offsprings that were the main Gauss
of tie constant disagreements be-
tween him and his wife, which wore
notorious.

Timely Words.

The following from the Chicago
Journal will bear reading two or
three times, and then it will be neces-
sary to give heed to the suggestions !:
There are two many of our public
men who do not understand this, the
real situation of affairs. They are
going on "fxing things in Pennsyl-
vania, in North Carolina, in some
other southern states, just as though
the people were standing idly by,
paying no heed to these tracks of the
hucksters. 1t is fatal mistake. The
most of the delegations in Cincinnati,
thus far chosen, are composed of men
of standing and character. Delega-
tons yet to be chosen will be at least
as good, SO that we may expect an
intelligent and independent and hon
est convention whose work may be
entitled to receive the favorite iudg-
ment of the people.
In view of the importance of the
election, of the activity of the buck
sters who will not yield up their
power without tremendous strug-
gle, we beg leave earnestly to sug-
gest to republicans everywhere,
where conventions have not yet been
held, to select as delegates to Cincin-
natl, the best and ablest men-men Of
reputation and undoubted integrity.
If these are preferences for ''favorite
sons" let them be stated, but seek
first Of all a strong, faithful delegation,
and do not needlessly trammel its in.
dependence. Above all, let there be
no more huckstering. If any one
suggests or attempts that disreputa-
bic business, especially in the North
west, put him down instanter. The
people demand and the country needs
another heoric era in politics.

Who Struck Billy Patterson.

The FITNESS of last week reviews
the late judicial canvass, and attempts
to account for the defeat of Mr. Car
ter. 1t gives two "reasons why" he
was beaten. The first was the ridcu-
lous stories and false report circulated
in Iowa county against him. Taking
it cue from the Darlington Demo-
crat, the Witness then proceeds to
blubber out the other cause that OPP
Grated against his defeat. 1t says
"There is another explanation
which, perhaps, for the credit of the
party, had better not be made, but
the condition of affairs in our state is
such that if the Republican party
ever expect to be successful the peo-
pie must rise in their might and wrest
its leadership from those who have
so long disgraced the position they
now so unjustly hold. Ifevery man
who does not belong to the so-called
"Regency" or "Ring" or whatever it
may be called is to be mercilessly be-
headed it is time that the people
knew it, so that they can be prepared
to act for themselves. AS is well
known and understood Carpenter and
Keyes have their sycophants all over
the state-in Grant county as well as
elsewhere, and it is understood to be
the determined purpose of these men
to oppose everything and everybody
that in the least clashes with their as
pirations. Mr.. Carter has always
stood aloof from this "Ring," choos-
ing rather to think and act for himself
and for this reason as much as any
other, all the strength that could pos
sibly be brought against him was
used to his defeat"
The Mineral Point Tribune, how-
ever, don't see it in that light, and
speaking for Iowa County says
1T WONT WoRK.-The Darlington
Democrat labors through half col
umn to make it appear that the de-
feat of w. e. Carter was accomplish
ed by the friends of Matt e. Carpen-
ter, who took this occasion to pun
ish Mr.. Carter and others in the dis
trict for their opposition to Mr.. Car
penter's return to the q. S. Senate.
Ofcourse Democrats would like to
make Republicans believe such non
sense, and get into broil over it;
but the game wont win. for in this
county at least, where Mr.. Cothren's
msjority is greatest, and where Mr.
Carpenter met as strong opposition
as anywhere, the Senatorial fight cut
no figure whatever. The strongest
opposition to Mr.. Carter here, came
generally from Republicans who
were specially active in opposing Mr.
Carpenter; which is conclusive proof
of the falacy of the arguments adj
vanoed by the Democrat.
IF the Witness had given as one of
tho causes of Mr.. Carriers defeat the
visit of Dom Pedro to America, 1t
could not have put itself in more
ludicrous light.

THE United States Supreme Court
has just reversed decision of the y.
S. Circuit Court of Illinois, declaring
certain taxes levied on a railroad
under State law to be illegal. The
Supreme Court says that the way to
resist alleged taxation, is not by in
junction in Federal courts, but by
suit of law after paying the taxes.
The question of taxation of railroad
property is one wholly within the
jurisdiction of the State. As the
State court has already decided the
question involved, the Circuit Court
should have refused the injunction
1t was dissolved.
