speaker of the house of representatives,
over Mr.. Garfield, by a vote of 149 to 1872.
In the course of his remarks, after being
conducted to the speakers chair, Mr.. Ran.
dali said:
Since adjournment an administration has
been indicted into Office which is obeyed as
the actual government, regardless Of the
grave events which marked its birth, and
the house, animated by a spirit Of true pat
riotism, desiring first public tranquility
under the law, will frankly approve any
sincere and permanent policy looking to
complete paci6cation by constitutional
methods, and to the consequent promotion
Of the general welfare; but it should be
held our sacred duty to provide legislation
which will render impossible a repetition Of
the wrongs which have occurred and Of the
dangers which threaten lis.
George NJ. Adams, of Kentucky, was
elected clerk; John g. Thompson, of Ohio,
sergeant-at- arms; John W. Polk, of Mis-.
souri,, doorkkeeper James NJ. Stewart, Of
Virginia, postmaster Rev. DR.. John Paisel

The list of estimates for improvements to
the Missouri river aggregates $4,000 and
Of this sum it is proposed to use only
$4,000 on the upper river. We do not
know the character Of the improvements
proposed at St. joseph and Nebraska City,
for which $165,0 600 is asked of congress, but
it is our opinion that if any public money is
to be expended for rendering navigation
l,~ difficult on the Missouri it should be
u'ed where it will be of some benefit to
~Steamboating on the Missouri
l. now a most wholly confined to that por-
tion'of the river between Yankton and Fort
Benton, and there, if anywhere, should i'm.
provements be made. The trouble is that
all this vast region of water traffic is unrer.
r scented by a single vote in congress and
under the modern system in vogue in that
body Of giving influence only in exchange
for influence, the really useful portion OF the
river is left in its native, unimproved con-
di,ion, while its lower waters, abandoned
long ago in favor Of more speedy and more
certain railroad transportation, are given
The meagre appropriations Of congress.

As Gen. Howard approaches Bismarck
the Tribune Is moved to take back all the
had things it has said about that general
during his chase after Joseph. We do not
insinuate that Louusberry is afraid Gen.
Howard may call around at his office and
surround him with a naked sword in his
hand. It is an innate perception of right
and wrong, which induces such thoughts as
these:
In this connection the Tribune desires to
state that though. to some extent, it has
Joined in the ridicule heaped upon Gen.
Howard BY the press of the country during
his chase after the Nez Perces, he has real.
" done most excellent service, and does not
deserve censure. = The fact that
Others have met and fought the Indians
should not detract from Gen. Howard who
chased them into their nets.
Howard was due at Bismarck the night
the Tribune was issued.

Washington Republican: No president
for years-if there is any parallel to it in
history-has been so grossly abused and in
suited rs President Hayes was on Thursday
evening last by the democratic speakers who
GRATED for the delectation Of the democracy
on the occasion of their rejoicing over the
result in Ohio. They seem to have gotten
through singing peans to the president. and
now draw upon their amount Of adjectlves
and epithets to heap maledictions on his
devoted head. They are consistent patriots
and reformers. They applaud the southern
and civil service policies of President Hayes,
and then hurry to the ballot box and vote
the democratic ticket. Such is democratic
consistency and devotion to those who have
done more for democratic Advancement than
that party has accomplished in seventeen
years by its own efforts.

The cause of the defeat is not denied by
starnch republican papers. The Chicago
Inter Ocean has spoken freely upon the loss
OF Ohio and placed the blame where it
belongs,..with the presidents southern and
evil service policies. The Washington
Republican has also sufficient courage to face
the true cause and it speaks in terms which
are plain enough to be understood. In an
editorial article in its issue of the 18th it
SAYS:
The state of Ohio has been lost to the
republicans simply because the great mass
o fthe people do not yield hearty accord to
IS The southern and civil service policies that
rule the ADMINISTRATION \ = y A
deep feeling Of dependency began to settle
upon the average republican mind when
these policies were first announced, and it
has grown more. and more intense as devel-
Y opments have since unfolded,, until the
party is being rapidly d~isintegrated and
stamped with n1arks Of decay. We have no
idea that the president intended mischief
10 the party when he entered upon thu
new departure" but the CONSCIOUSNESS ars
to Re none the les dsplored on that Account.
