THERE is plague abroad among
Democratic statesmen. The mortality
among Presidential candidates is now
shown to be nearly equalled by the
mortality among the chairmen of
House committees. A Washington
dispatch states that eleven of these
have been defeated so far, either in the
party councils or at the polls. Mr..
Whitthorne, head of the Committee
on Naval Affairs, is no more, and when
Robson enters the next House, as he
undoubtedly will, the man he came to
meet will, be missing. Carter Harri-
son, of the Committee on Reform in
the Civil Service, is gOne-died of too
much elasticity. Mr.. Banning suffer-
ed violent death, and deserved it.
He was never elected, and was re-
proach to the people whom he misrep-
resented. Mr.. Southard, head of the
Committee on the Electoral System,
the man who devised scheme for
allowing as many as-three citizens OF
Ohio to crafty their Presidential Am BIZ
tions at once, has sunk under the
weight OF his ingenuity. Mr.. Eden,
Chairman of the Committee on War
Claims, who was a conspicuously fool
is1 person during the last session, has
been made away with. There are
Others, of whom the most respectable
are Mr.. Schleicher, of Texas, and ex-
Governor Swami, of Maryland. Bnt
on the whole these losses are great
gains for the conntry-and for the
Democratic party, If it only knew it,

STRONG circumstantial evidence of
Tilden's full Knowledge of the Florida
bribery rsscality is furnished by the
fact that he has been using the same
cipher in telegrsphing to his lawyer,
who carried off the books at Marquette
to suppress the fact about his income,
that was employed in the Florida
business by Marble, Woolley, Coyle,
and PeltCn. The Marquette dispatch
es, signed by Thomas Harland, were
addressed to Geo. w. Smith, Tilden's
secretary, to whom many of the
Florida dispatches came.

ELECTIONS for members of Congress
have thus far been held in eight States.
These States are now represented
by 80 Republicans and Is
Democrats. The result of the elections
Is to give the Democrats net gain of
ii members and to return 4Greenbs ck-
ers in place of Republicans. This is
not especially encouraging, though it
might have been worse. The probabil-
ity is that the result in Ohio has turned
the tide and that the States voting in
November will make more cheerful
showing.

guilty of such infamous fraud in unseat-

A Washington special to the Cincin-
natl Gazette says that the friends OF
several defeated Democratic candidates
for Congress have written here that
they intend to contest, and the talk
over these matters here indicates that
the feeling is general among candidates
that contesting is as good as an election.
The Colorado case, and unseating Field
In Boston, are now both regarded as
serious blunders by some of the nlanag
ers, and it is by no means certain that
contestants before the next House will
have as smooth a road as heretofore.
