that person referred IL to the offending
Judge who was the official creator OF PHIL
HoYNE and who alone had power to curb
his mad propensity to collect the beer IL
ccnse.
But DRUMMoND, being an ignorant fellow,
who had never practscd law In monarchcal
countries, showed n most rcprchcnsiblc dis
position to protect his minion, and even
went 80 far as to assert that in this land Of
freedom 1t was no robbery to collect a tax
when II was overdue. He also insOlcntly
invited Mr.. BRENTANo to his chambers,
where he engaged to show him that he
had entirely misunderstood the facts, and
that Phil HoyNE had performed very
simple duty by FRIrz FRIbLMAN Then IL
was that BRENrANo the citizen sank com
pletely in BRENrANo the rcprcscntatisc,
and, rising to the full height of the great
argument concerning those twenty-five
dollars and fifty cents, he informed Judge
DRuMMoND that he was coordinate" and
that the Legislature should never be subor-
iinated TO tho judiciary in his person. lie
brcathed defiance and flung scurn; he would
carry the cause of the injured FRITZ to the
Congress of (which he had the honor 10 be
an humble member and he would have an
investigation that would make the Federal
Judges trcmblc on their seats, and PHIL
HOWE quake in his boots.
II is hardly necessary To state that we
await in GREATNESS expectancy the develop

persons and papers, in accordance with the
Importance and dignity Of the subject, and
we can imagine the sorry figure poor DRUM
MOND will cut before 1t with that sad knavc,

robes.

Too Plain TO be Misunderstood.

The election in this State IL full Of instruc-
ton to every one who is able to learn.
The amazing folly shown by the Demo-
Gratis, under the lead of senator KEENAN,
and their state Committee in identifying
their cause with that the Fraudulent Pres
idcnt, aud Ia appealing to HAYES Rcpubli-
cans to vote for the Democratic candidates
~ the only way 10 support and encourage
HAYES, has borne its proper fruit in the
small majority for their state ticket, in their
actual loss OF the Senate and imperfect con-
~ Of the Assembly, and in their inability
70 carr through an apportionmcnt act that
would insure to every part of the state its
rightful representation in the Legislature.
The best that can bc said for them is that
Mr.. HERMAN and his assistants have not ut
tcrly overthrow their party. They have
only struck il a disabling blow. An immense
success was within their reach, and they
have weakly. almost madly thrown away
the opportunity. The people will bc in no
nun w oiS'b Nh'il ihNpHii'e' Wht ohht
laundering
The courageous and statcsmanlikc con-
duct Of senator CoNKLING, on the other
hand, is amply justified by the result. But
for him and the voice Of loud disgust which
under his inspiration the Republican Con-
vention uttered against HAYES against his
fraud and against his folly, the Republican
party might have been annihilatcd in the
State. Now it l. united and compact, pre-
scnting powerful array full Of vitality and
enthusiasm. and able to exercise through
the Senate a great power over both the lcgs-
lative and the executive branches OF the
State Government.
Instead Of achieving an overwhelming vie
tory. the Democrats barely keep their heads
above water; while the Republcans not
outstanding HAYES. the Electoral Fraud.
and the civil service impoSturc. are saved
from the ovcrllDwing scourge which threat
cned their destruction. and can still look
forward to the future with d feeling of hope
II not Of confidence.
1t Is very instructive election, and it l.
TO be dcyoutly hoped it will prove prac-
tieaily useful

The Great Case of Fritz rrillman.

II is pleasant to know that the new Con-
gross contains at least one bold champion
of tn" peoples rights, who's" lance i. in per-
pctuai rest against the powerful oppressor,
and ready for any deed of rescue in behalf
If languishing beer vendors. Oar eyes Of
flesh were never gladdcned by a glimpse of
this good knight but nourl-hed, as he was,
on sauer kraut aud pumpernickcl beyond
seas. we conceive him fat and whcezy, but
withal as true a champion "a ever drew
blade against men in buckram or men in
steel. His name, it Is BRENTANo, and the
Second District of Chicago, inspired by
happy thought which we are persuaded
would never have occurred TO any other dis
trict in this unrumantic country has sent
him up to represent its brcwcrics and beer
saloons, and, asevl tongues insinuote, dis
tillery Of his own, in the Congress of the
United States.
The glorious orb Of day had scarcely
descended westward upon the election, be-
fore BKFNTANO, the vigilant, began 20 look
around for an opportunity to strike a blow
for liberty; and when he heard that PHIL
liOYNE-so the gcntlcmans name is re-
ported dressed in the brief authority of Il
United States Commissioner, mad hailed

triillnF matter of running Il beer saloon and

In Massachusetts, and probably In Wiscon-
sin, 1t will pretty certainly turn out when
the canvass IL completed that both parties
are in considerable minority In States
wherein they have now what, upon
n superficial view, seem to be vie
tories So, too, in Ohio, II We are right in
our recollection Of the final figures, the
Democratic candidate for Governor barely
obtained n majority Of the aggregate vote,
though he appeared to have beaten his Re-
publican opponent by some 25,OOO We fancy
il will prove to he very much the
same in Minnesota when we get
the complete returns from tho recent
quadrilatcrnl contest in that State. We all
recollect that il looked on the surface as ii
the Republicans had swept Iowa by about
5000 majority, but when the outside vote
came To Toe counted the absolute majority
dwindcd to some 1900 or 1IO00, and this,

Two Resolutions.

Congressman S,1iLEICHER OF Texas has
introduced a resolution calling on the HAYES
Administration for information in regard 10
any recent violations OF United States terri
tory 10y incursions from Mexico. Congress-
man NANCY of the same state has addition
ally asked for particulars ot the Rio Grandc
city jail breaking, aud for the reasons why
the persons concerned in IL were not given
up by Mexico.
There have been no recent violations of
American soil by Mexican raiders. Last
summer there were raids by Indian
cattle thieves who plumber Mexican
and American ranches alike; but Gen
ORD officially reports that nothing of
the kind has occurred since midsummer
"a period of immunity. hc says, such
as has not occurred for years. The State
Department., therefore. in answering Con-
gresham SCHLEICHERs call for facts
may safely add the comment that since the
accession of DIAZ to the Presidency the
raids complained Of have largely dimin-
ishcd, thus contradcting the allegation that
he has only the will and not the power to
lessen them.
But If there have been no very recent vio-
latiOns of American soil by Mexican armed
forces, there have been recent violations of

The autumn elections which have just
closed teach some valuable lessons. Be-
ginning with September and closing with
Tuesday OF this present week. fifteen STATES
have voted on general tickets Of more or
less importance These States extend from
the extreme East to the far West and en-
brace remote points in the South. and may
therefore be presumed to cover every phase
Of political opinion.
Ten of these fifteen States voted for HAYES
FOR President and five for IlLDEN. The first
important fact that strikes the observant
eye is that the five States which cast their
votes for TILDEN have now been carried for
the Democrats, while the Republicans have
lost three and perhaps four Of those that
were carried for HAYES. The five States
which went for TILpEN last fall, and have
now been carried by the Democrats, are
New York, New Jersey. Maryland, Virginia,
ana Mississippi The Democrats held their
own in these. wherever there was a serious
contest, by maIoritics which are about the
average in what are called the off ycars.
The ten States that have voted this fall
for general tickets and which went for
HAYES last year by large and in most in
Stances by overwhelming majorties, are
California, Maine, Ohio, Iowa, Massachu-
sets, Pcnn-y lvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota.
Kansas, and Nebraska. Three Of these
States have now certainly been captured
by the Democrats, and perhaps four,
namely, California, Ohio and Prnnsy lvania,
with Wisconsin rather in doubt. though the
chances are in favor Of the Republicans
or the six States in which the Republicans
still maintain their control, they have car
lied two this year by rcpudatlng the HAYES
Administration while In two Of the others
they have not got absolute majoritics but
elect their tickets by mere puralities
These seem To- u3 To be highly significant
features of the fall campaign. They are an
emphatic and singing verdict against the
Fraudulent Administration Of HAYES and the
policy toward which there Is such an out.
spoken revolt in all sections Of tho country
These results, however, are not wholly
owing to the determination Of the masses OF
The Democracy TO testify their abhorrcncc
OF the chicancry, the duplicity, the dis
honest practices and false pretenccs
whereby HAYES obtained his defective
title TO the Presidency, but they are
t. some extent due To the dissatisfaction
aAl disgust which large portions of the Re,
Publican PARTY feel toward him for having
abandoned and betrayed so many of tn,
principles whcroon his supporters fought
their battle in tine last Presidential cam.
Iiign But II l. safe to say that severe as
this l"huko is it would have been far more
marked and significant if portions Of the
Democratic party had not surrendered TIA,
