season for railway travel and caused a
general delay in the running of trains.

that road for several wears.

low, IN fact that comparing them with
other machines with which we are ac-

These meetings are too mu ,

politician were to stay at home, we

the time that pre- 'ervcs and perpetuates
the government and the attendance Of
the County Meeting is patriotic duty ];
it is more, it is religious duty as well.
1t is by these meetings and this process
that we have free government, evolving
free church, and giving an impetus
to the progress Of religion which perhaps
would not ex st under othec forms. Un-
der all these considerations, therefore,
we urge large and general attendance

1t is rather curious that while the
Republican press IN one breath denou-
nee the investigations Of the Demo
cratic House as of no use and a mere
befouling of the public mind in the
very next, they cite the results of these
Investigations rs ample evidence of
official misdemeanor. Bristow throws
Democratic "mud" at Blaine, Morton
at Conkling, Conkling at Blaine and
Blaine at Bristew. When each of them
has proved all the others unfit to be
President, what will become of the
Republicans at::Cincinnati shut up to a
choice from such materials? The
n. Y. Times (Rep.) which reviles a
Republican Judge-Advocate-General
for clearing the character of Mr.. Pend
Teton before a Democratic committee,
thus deals with the exposures made by
Democratic committee in the case of
Secretary Robeson:.
"Mr. Secretary Robson canuot
afford to allow the Cattel percentages
and his private business relations with
the Cattells to remains longer unex-
planned. If the details of f. q. Cattell's
testimony published in the Boston
Herald are even approximately correct,
it is clear that the position of MIR.
Robson is such rs no member Of the
Cabinet can properly occupy. No
sane man can believe that the Cattells
systematically levied percentages upon
the Navy Department contracts with
out the cogniZance of its chief. A
single corrupt bargain of this sort
might escape his notice, but that any
one could exact commissions amour
ting in the aggregate to $500, ,000-of
which $40, 600 was received from one
contractor ulone-without the cencur-
rence of the Secretary and his subord.
mates, few will be able TO believe. The
class to whom the Cittells e ong are
not in the habit of loaning large sums
without security, and without exact
ing payment of interest if not of the
principal, or OF transferring $l3, 900
worth of property at Long Branch for
no other consideration than bald
entry in book of account. There are
too many corroborative circumstances
to allow OF the supposition that Mr.
Cattell has been essentially misrepOr-
ted, And, accepting the publishe
version OF the evidence received by
the Committee on Naval Affairs as ri
: preseu. cXpartc, the Secre ary mus!
prepare himself to give "a full, true ant
