Secopd Church, Cleveland, has been
installed pastor of the First Presby-
terian Church at Oakland, Cal.
The ballot-bOx stufing in the city
of Cincinnati, and for which several
worthless have had their freedom
circumscribed to the jailOr's limits,
was all done in the name of Reform
Ohio enjoys the proud distinction of
furnishing more filibusters in the
House than any other State. Most
of them are elected to stay at home
next term and have nothing to risk.
Mr.. Mcdonald, whose appoint
ment as Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney was announced on
Saturday, is a man of character and
ability. He is a native of Cincin-
matt.
The fact is illustrated by the fate
of Governor Growers Cronln certli-
cate that when the Governor Of a
State certifes to lie, his certificate
amounts to no more than that of any
other man.
Senator Thurman resigned his
place on the Commission the 25th
in consequence of continued i'll
health. Senator Herman, of New
York, was unanimously chosen to
fill his place.
Some of Tilden's friends call Gov.
Hayes-"Hayes the Usurper." !" VIII
they tell us what he has done to give
success to his usurpatiOn? Usurpers
are not generally so passive-swait-
ing circumstances.
Speaker Randall is evidently
much disgusted with his own party.
Chosen to represent the majority in
the House, he finds himself unable
to control more then pitiful minor
ity of his own party.
Mr.. Tilden has lost all confidence
in astrology since the ''Seven Stars"
of the Commission went back on
him. sWho can bind the sweet
influences of the Pleiades and lose
the bonds Of" Oregon?
The Indiana Legislature has voted
to give colored children an equal
chance with white children in the
public schools. The strongest ad-
vocates of the bill were Democrats.
This is an age of progress.
The Tilden Electors in South Car
olina, on motion of Senator Freling-
huysen, were unanimously voted
down. Such vote is rather signii-
cant and would seem TO have the eff
feet to modify the ferceness of some
of those fre-eating members of the
House.
Whenever the Democrats in
Washington feel an unusual pressure
of indignation they fall to kicking
Hewitt. This unfortunate leader
put in $780, 600, it is said, to help
the party through, and in return for
it is called ga time-serying humbug. "
Such is the ingratitude of Democ-
racy.
Wade Hampton is disgusted with
Tilden's bull-dozers in the House
and insists that no obstruction be
placed to a speedy completion of the
count. He is willing to trust Presi
dent Hayes interests of the South.
The special organ of Governor
Vance, of North Carolina, had pre-
viously expressed similar views.
CrOnin's ''nOse is evidently out of
joint" Judge Edmund's resolution
before the Commission, to throw
out tie Cronin Electoral certificate,
was carried unanimously No nose
not even that nose of Cronin-
that $4,000 nose--that strawberry
blond nose-that beautifully car
buneled nose, that according to Sun
Set Cox, lifted up its voice like a
trumpet, could be expected to with
stand such a trial! Alas, for Gro
nin's nosel
There can be no question what
ever as 10 the manliness and dignity
of bearing which has characterized
Mr.. Hayes all through this peculiar
and trying campaign. He has said
nothing that was unbeftting his
high position; he has never yet been
compromised by any relative or
agent whose proceedings made it
necessary for him TO disavow mo-
tiYes and intentions imputed to him.
The little speech which the Presi-
dent-elect has Just made at Fremont,
Ohio, is thoroughly in keeping with
all that he has heretofore said and
done. " 7. Times.
The schism between the irreconci-
tables and the more conservative
Democrats in the House is fast de-
veloping. On Monday the two fac
tions came very near getting up a
Kilkenny cat fight on the floor of the
House, Democratic fists being shak-
en- under Democratic noses, and
Democratic voices yelling "Cow-
ardl" in Democratic faces. Tilden's
special friends in the House are dis
gracing themselves and their candi-
date every day, and Tilden's legal
representative is egging on the riot
ers. Cleveland Herald.
