products of the system ia, tones Of thunder.
It will not be well to tempt them further.
The Tribune, assuming that the primary
fraud has been forbidden by party resolu-
ton, recommends somewhat the system
existing in Louisiana. It thinks better
than primary system
L. obviously to be found in the Repub-
lican ward clubs, whore every members
residence IL known and his position vOuched
for. A record Of this kind being kept, ting
danger of repeating and double voting, and
voting out of the ward, may be efectually
guarded against; and the club organization
Is usually such, and may always be made
such, that fraudulent counting and return
ing Of votes will be impossible.
We agree that any system of party APP
pointments, whether indicated by . pr
mary or club nomination, can not receive
legal confirmation at the hands Of the
people unless based upon the personal
and political merits of the nominee. The
day when 'sham nominations" of men I'M
known and unworthy popular support
would insure the Office sought has passed.
The Union is in no danger. Legislative
and official frauds commencing with
Tweed, Connolly & Co., and continuing
to expand into the exposures Of robbery
of the revenues, before and after they
reach the treasury, has convinced people
that the man who would buy sham
nomination means to indemnify himself
for the outlay by selling anything
that comes in his way. They have
become convinced that such men
are of no principle, and will take any
name that will pass them into profit
Hence the Republican party is holding
grand review of its officials, and which
the Dem ocracy assists. It wished for the
next term the return of the fit for duty.
All con victed officials will be sent to the
guardhouse or hospital. All candidates
will be inspected into the service, nor
will the purchased certificate of sham
nomination suffice to establish these
qualifications. If these men are politi-
cally and morally sound upon popular in
spection they will be mustered into SER
vice. If not, their hackers or buyers need
not be surprised anywhere at the result
in Chicago, in seeing a candidate who
had purchased through ticket from
the primaries, though ''really the head of
the ticket" run ''more than 10000 votes
behind his associates" Let all be fore
warned and forearmed against sham
nominations everywhere.

SHAM NOMINATIONS.

The Republican party in Chicago ha,
repealed the practice of primary nomina
tons. The Tribune thus notices the pri
mary evil:
1t would be difficult to conceive of 9
greater travesty of justice, decency and
harness than the primary system OF making
nominations as it has been practiced in this
city tor some years past.
The progress of this abuse is thus de-
scribed:
In the course of time the question of car.
rying particular ward primary became a
question OF getting given number of men
TO particular place at particular time,
without reference to their politics or place
OF residence. This, of course, was a mere
question of money. Somewhat later it was
found that a gang of professionals voting
from place to place were more efficient and
cheaper than any previous invention for
carrying primaries, and these were tried
with somewhat brilliant results.
The public revolt and repudiate the
nominations
Instances might be cited, however, where
the utmost efforts Of repeaters, Democratic
humans, Republican ruffans and honest
citizens all together, outside of the voting
room, have been frustrated by those who
had the counting of the votes and the
making of the returns.
A fe " weeks ago a primary election was
held in the first ward, which resulted in
giving two or three times as many votes to
3 certain candidate for alderman as he
afterward received in the regular city cleo. |!
lion. All the votes given for him over and |
above the small number he received at tbe |
,ity election were of course fraudulent |
When the election came to be held under
he safeguards prescribed by law, he was |
Ound to be in q ridiculous minority.
The last city election demonstrated pretty
that sham nominations will NOT
70 ratified by the people. A candidate for
n important Office, who was really the
lead of the ticket, ran more than ten thou-
and votes behind his associates, and Wa
eaten Notwithstanding all that was done
save him from defeat.
The party have officially declared that
hey have no confidence in nominations
lade in that way. This they declared bv
duly passed in convention. Tho
eople have declared that they have no
in them by rejecting one Of the

COLORPHOBIA,

The Democratic World feels called on
to censure with appropriate condemnation
the attempt of Cuban pupil in New
Jersey school to throw off a train bv
means OF stones placed upon the track.
1t IS very bad for children such as we have
erstwhile noted, even in moral Boston and
elsewhere, to display such precocious
curiosity of mischief, and even murder.
There is, however, no use in attributing,
as the Democratic World seems to do, the
criminality of the act to the color of the
offender. It thinks that State which is
chiefly absorbed in the right of wav
to the railroads with which it is
so deliberately related, will very likely
speed the parting of this youthful and
enterprising Caribbean guest"
1t is indignant at what it calls ..the en-
rlosity of this tobacco-colored little tropi-
cal demon" The World says: "In this
case there seems to have been an amiable
freedom from malice and compile superb
ority to vulgar considerations of gain"
''The little creole, it says, ''only wanted
some fun" After this acquittal of bad
motive the Democratic World still calls
the boy ''malign little goblin, and that
bis parent is said to be 20 wealthy West
Indian, p" who could not do better than
expend portion Of his means in re;m.
porting his offspring" that is, charitsblv |
adds the World, latter he has served ont |
lis time"-in the State prison.
The chief odense Of this little ..demon
md goblin" seems to have been that ba
vas ''tobacco-colosed creole" That's

1mPBov1DENT APPOINTMENTS.


The sudden discovery that Mr.. Fitz-
hugh has bad record shocked many
Democratic reformers. The fact Of his
trials for criminal offenses seems to have
been accessible to all, and it even appears
that the attorney who defended him on
the indictments, and who is now q MEM
Der of Congress, never thought to men
ton these little blots of acquittance for
arson, perjury, and, perhaps, forgery.
It will probably aid these political
Puritaps in their explanation if we fur
nish them with an example of similar i'm
positions practiced upon king.
There was banker of Lyons who was
named Partice ELI, who, having become
bankrupt changed his name of D'Emery.
The Kings minister, the Cardinal Richie
lieu. who had recognized great financial
skill in this Particelli, presented him to
the King, Louis Kill, under his latter
name of D'Emery, and desiring that he
should be appointed collector Of revenues,
spoke very favorably of him to his
majesty.
"This is somewhat strange" replied the
king, and am glad you speak of NJ.
D'Emery SO favorably for place in which
we needed an honest man. They told me
you would press the appointment Of that
scoundrel Particelli, and I feared you
would have compelled me to take him."
''Sire, replied the Cardinal. ''let your
majesty be relieved. The Particelh Of
whom they spoke has been hanged.
"Ah" said the King as he affixed his
signature to the commission Of the 'tscoun-
drel Particelli" under the alias of D'Emery,
$50 much the better. It is not for nothing
that they call me Louis the Just"
The unconscious Democracy has been in
like manner imposed upon. 1t has be-
slowed commission upon man it now
deems altogether unworthy, and it is for
this the Democracy is called the inexora-
BILE foes of official incompetency, and the
gracious patron of official integrity.
