Making Congress Democratic In Both Branches

Making Congress Democratic In Both Branches
the First Time in Twenty Years.
The elections on Tuesday, though not
resulting in all that we hoped for, new
ertheless give the Democracy the next
Congress in both Senate and House. In
this there is no mistake. This is the
important matter. The contest was for
this. By this result the Democratic
party will centrol the legislative depart
ment of the government. We have lost
Congressman in New York State, New
Jersey, Connecticut. and possibly in
some others, but held our own in Penn
sylvania and gain in the South and
West, so as to balance our losses and
give us majority in the House of TWEEN
ty to thirty. This is enough for all prac-
tiCal purposes, as we will have a majority
of some eight or ten in the Senate. This
glorious result is worth growing over and
should gladden. the hearts of all lovers
Of liberty and justice.

THE Hancock Courier of last week
came to us with the full proceedings Of
the dedication of their fine new block
in Findlay. We congratulate our friend,
Mr. Lewis Glessner, and his sons, on this
evidence of their prosperity. The band
was out on the occasion, the Hon. David
Joy was master of the ceremonies, the
Reverend Sutherland made the principal
address, giving history of the Courier,
which was established in 1886; Hon. VIM.
Mungen furnished the poetry, and other
gentlemen spoke, Mr.. Glessner closing
with few remarks.

McGregor, of the Stark County Democrat,
comes out in an editorial last week and
boldly makes the assertion that Mr.. Fran
els Murphy was brought to Navarro on
the 18th of September in the interest OF
Congressman elect Hon. William Nc
KinIey, and not in the interest of the
temperance cause. Now, this statement
we wish to refute, claiming as we do that
it is entirely false. We can su bstantiate
our statement, and are prepared to prove
that theartice is false, mean and sense
less, and that Mr.. Murphy's services we're
secured by W.0. Sffers and A. j. Ridet,
members of the Navarro G, I. U and we
are further prepared to prove that not
one cent of Mr.. McKinley's honest
money" was paid to Mr., Murphy, as
claimed by McGregor. The Democrat
does indeed feel awful sick" over the
grand surprise party and glorious Repub-
iican wak.away in Stark county -Cleue'
land Leader Ndvdrre Correspondence.
Now, if Mr.. Murphy did not endorse
and praise Mr., Mckinley, urging his
election, ETC., we have been misinformed
but if this temperance leader did all this,
then are we sustained ard justified. 1t
appears that the Leader correspondent,
though saying that our " article is false,
mean and senseless," does not deny that
Mr.. Murphy spoke for Mckinley and his
election. This is fact, and these Ma
varre Murphy leaders, who have so
readily rushed into print, dare not deny
it. Mr.. A. J. Rider, in the Rep, did not
deny it, and this Leader correspondent
does not. No doubt these gentlemen
were into it, or at the bottom Of it, and
they do not like to have their sneak
game thus exposed. These gentlemen
souirm at our exposure Of their base
piece of Murphy trickery.
A highminded man of principle, labor
ing, as did the great Father Matthew, to
raise the fallen and reform the inebriate,
and improve and benefit mankind, all
good citizens must admire and honor.
But when we see a would-be-Considered
temperance evangelist like Murphy,
lend himself to the little knaveries of
fungus politicians, and his little Navarro
satellites rushing to the rescue lest their
trickeries be exposed and their influence
endangered, it is calculated to raise dis
gust in the minds of honest people.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Even'

awakened to the importance, which we
have urged for some time past, of looking
carefully iEto Secretary Shermsn's plan

do this he will be liable to impeachment
But can the Post inform us What coin
this resumption is to be made in?-N Z,
World.
What good will resumption do the
great public when they cannot reach the
place of redemptionP And then, the
National Banks are not to be called upon
to redeem their notes in coin. The
Sherman sham is plain as a pike staff.

pENNsYLYANIA,s SHAME.

The election yPstefday resulted In q
clean sweep for the Cameron Republican
party. Hoyt is 'elected Governor by a
majority estimated at from $4,000 to 25,-
600. There is question whether Dunkel
and Sterret are elected, but II Hoyps ma
iority reaches the latter figure he will
probably carry through these candidates
by small majorities, Mr.. Africa runs
largely ahead and Dunkel falls behind
every where, and the chances are good
for the formers election.
The Legislature will be largely Repub'
lican, and Don Cameron will be elected
United States Senator.
The Congressional delegation is report
ed unchanged, but there are indications
if we hold our own in the Franklin and
Luzerne. Columbia districts, we will gain
a member in the Somerset district by the
election of General Cofforth. The dele
CATION is likely to stand l5 Republicans
to II Democrats. Speaker Randall is re-
elected by an increased majority. Curtin
and Clymer are elected by large MAORI
ties. In the Plttsburge district the indi-
cations point to Errett's success by few
hundred, but Col. DufFs friends do not
give up hopes of his election.
The greenback vote of this State ex'
ceeds that of last year very little, ifany-
but the Republicans who were in the
movement last year returned to their
party, while fresh recruits from the DEM
oCracy took their places. This was one
cause of the Democratic defeat. Corrup.

The Repository will not divide the Fess-
Ter disgrace with US. AS in the 80 lille

the Rep gives US all. How generous our
political opponents are Their judges

again, Fessler was a Democrat, elected

The party of professedly "honest mon
ey" now, were the party of dishones
money for years, depreciating the green
back currency by legislation and beared
or bulled the gold market year by year
buying up the greenbacks at a depreci
ated price and paying them out at paI
to the government employees, soldiers

called " honesty; but whatever they do
is "honest," taking their word for it,

MEssRs. Riff, Honner and Grimes made
their report to the County Commission
ers on Monday, and it will be found in
this paper. 1t will be seen that, while
these gentlemen say they found clerical
errors, both for and against the Treas.
urer, there was no evidence whatever of
design or collusion. Their investigation
ran back four years only, which included
the period of George Fessler's acting as
County Treasurer. We doubt not errors
would be found if similar investigation
were made in the books covering the Pc
riod of the four years previous, that is,
from 1870 to 1874. Since this work has
commenced, we would like to see it go
on,

Mr., A. ], RIDER, Of Navarro, the Mpr-
ply iolah there, is out again in the Re
pOsiiory but don't quote Shakespeare nor
refer classically to Cicero this time. Mr.
Rider does not deny the truth OF our
statement as to Mr.. Francis Murphy
turning his temperance Sunday discourse
into political harangue to promote the
election of Major Mckinley. 1t is our
inferential remarks as to McKinley's
"hCnest money" in this case that dis
turbs the tender conscience of Mr.. Rider.
There may be special reason for Mr..
Riders extreme sensibility, 1t is not to
be supposed that Mr.. Murphy INDUCED
in a political harangue on that occasion
without being instigated thereto by the
local leaders in the Murphy evangeli'
zing process. We did not intimate that
Mr.. Murphy got all the "honest money"
to bring this thing to bear, in the sense
of the stock gamblers. Mr.. Rider, there
fore, may have at least rocked the cradle
for this baby, and got his pay.
As to Mr.. Murphy, we had better
opinion of him, supposing he had a
Father Mathew soul, capable Of soaring
above such intermeddling, and really
meant what his pledge says, with char
ity for all and malice toward none.'
While thinking so of Murphy, however,
let it not be supposed we thought 30
highly OF the souls of some of his pre-.
tended followers. All arrangements of
this kind must have head, body and
a tail. Mr.. Riders place we shall not
designate, but be does wiggle terribly as
though he was hurt. We need not "rub
our glasses to perceive that
From all we can understand, the Muir
ply movement at Navarro at least, ifnot
in the market, is at least political in the
meanest party sense, lacking charity and
filled with malice. OF late years in this
country we have regretfully seen the
great power of principal, and the great
weakness of principle, Men are usu-
ally dupes to their own weakness;
and corruption is like a ball of snow,
when once set rolling it must increase,
giving, for the time, momentum to the
activity of the knave and consequence
and prominence to the fool.

A NATIONAL bank is 80 called because
it has United States bonds and draws
gold interest thereon deposited with the
United States Treasury department, and
has received from the government cur
rency equal to nine,tenths of the bonds.
Thus the bank has had its investment
nearly doubled. Why not extend this
privilege to all manufacturing compa.
nies? And, why not to people in gen
eral2 Senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania,
favors stopping the interest on he bonds
held by the National Banks. He says,
give the banks currency equal to the
bonds deposited and pay them no inter
est on the bonds. This looks fair and it
would be a saving of interest on $50 mil
lions of dollars. This would relieve the
people.
