THE Democratic House objects to the ad-
mission Of Belford, Republican Represen-
tative from Colorado His right to a seat is
challenged on the start, the Democrats in the
present exigency raising the point as to the
status in the Union of the Centennial State.
The worrment of the House centers in the
Presidential attitude Of Colorado. The State
which the House voted to admit, by reason
of the understanding that it was reliably
Democratic, turns out to have been captured
by the Republicans, with it's three electoral
votes for Hayes. This unlocked for result
naturally disgusts the average Democratic
Congressman, and hence the far-fetched OBJ
lection of Springer to the admission of Bel
ford to his seat

SIR JOHN MALCOLM, writing of the Per-
slams, says they deem music a science, though
they do not appear to have made much pro-
gress III it. They have gamut and notes
and different kinds of melody adapted to
various styles, such as the pathetic, the vo-
luptuous, the joyous, and the warlike. The
hch thew nossess co9ysderab1e humber
but they can not be said to be further ad-
vanced in this science than the Indians, from
whom they are supposed to have borrowed
it. Their strains are often pleasing, but al
ways monotonous: and they want variety of
expression, one of the charms of art.

The Vote of Ohio.

a Cincinnati correspondent of the
Baltimore gazette says:
The number of votes cast will ex-
coed by 80 600 the largest vote ever
pollcd in the State. In 1872 500 600
votes We're cast at the Presidentia
election, and Grant carried the State
by 10000 majority. Last year i'm the
memorable contest between Gov.
Hayes ard Gov. Allen, 652 600 votes
were east, and Hayes was elected by q
plurality of $500 votes. The increase
in state contest of 81 600 votes over
the Presidential vote of 1872 was as
tOnishing, but the increase this year
of 10000 votes over last year is still
amazing. The increase in our popu-
latiou has not been either sufficiently
rapid or great to justify such an in
crease in our vote.
In this city and county about 81, 600
votes We're pOiled, an increase of 1000
over last fall, when there was pollcd
the largest vote ever cast in the his.
tory of Cincinnati. There is no doubt
but that fully 1000 of these votes were
fraudulent; most of them were cast
by patriotic negroes from Kentucky,
whom Republican patriots had i'm
ported at Il large expense to save the
country from the terrors OF solid
South.n
Without the official figures to base
my calculation upon ] will grant all
the Republicans claim, viz That
Barnes, their Secretary of State, is
elected by 5000 majority, and Boyn-
ton, their supreme judge, by 5000,
out of total vote Of 620. 600. Last
year Governor Hayes had $500 ma
jority, and the Republican lieutenant
governor nearly 10000 AS in an in
crease of 10000 votes, most of which
are fraudulent, imported by Republi.

prestige Ola fayorite son for President,

careful analysis demonstrates COuclu-
siyely that on a fair vote Ohio il DEM

of the vote for ten years confirms this

Q. 4. CAREER.


The Democratic party has struggled
against terrible odds in Ohio and In
diana. 10 has had to confront unlim-
tied resources Of men and honey. 1t
has had TO meet an uupriuCiplcd or
gaulEatiOn, ready 10 sacrifice every
great public interest to carry its own
selfish ends. The auticipations of the
Republican party are not met. The
vast expenditure Of money has brought
them no adequate return, and they
have shrieked eternal eImity to the
suffering people OF the South to no
effect. For the first time since the or
ganizatiOn of the Republican party the
Democracy passed the critical period
of the October elections without the
influence Of a depressing popular cur
rent against them. The prestige of
the Republican party is at last broken.
At last it must face the people through
out the eutire length and breadth of
the land. At last it must give an ac-
count of its stewardship at the gene
raj election i'm November. No longer
can it enter into the November cleo
tons with the impetus of an ava
lanche, sweeping everything before it,
1t must now face the sober judgment
OF the country. 1t must abandon its
appeals to passion and prejudice. 1t
must abandon its hopes of winning by
personal calumry and scurrilous Vi
tuperatiOn.

An DutspOIen Opinion of the

There are several important amend
meuts to the constitution to be voted
on at the November election i'm this
State. One, and perhaps two, of these
amendments would be beneficial if
made the law of the State but as a
whOle-and rs such they must either
be adopted or rejected-we believe
them unjust, fraught with evil, pro-
posed, linked and chained together by
small demagOgues for demagogical
purposes, and we are uuqualifiedly OPP
posed to them, and hope they will
meet with the unanimous rejection
tley deserve.-Page courier.
