R0OSTERS TO the REA Il.

II is lamentable and singular thing
that in this important political year the
Democracy at the two extreme corners
of this State should have made such
unfit Congressional nominations as
those of Wm. II, Dmmick, of Wayne,
and Morgan r. Wise, OF Green coun-
ties We have before referred TO the
latter and there is every prospect that
he will be forced to abandon II candi-
dacy which threatens the loss Of a
Democratic district. Dimmick's dis.
trict is Republican and the election OF
"A Democrat there would be decided
gain, though not impossible in these
times Of political revolution If II decent
candidate were nominated. In nomi.

claim to success and have deprived

LINCOLN MUSCLE


A recent writer in Scribner's Maga.
zinc says
Few were aware OF the physical
strength possessed by Mr.. Lincoln. In
muscular power he was one in thous
and. One morning, while we were sit
ting on deck, he saw an axe in socket
on the bulwarks, and, taking it up,
held it at arms length at the extrcmi-
ty of the helvo with bis thumb and
iorcdnger, continuing TO hold it there
for number Of minutes. The most
powerful sailors on board tried in vain
to imiiaiaie him Mr.. Lincoln said he
could do this when be was eigbtech
years of age, and had never seen a day
since that time when he could not. 1t
occurred to me, when reading the de-
tails Of tho plot that terminated in the
death Of the President, that his abduc-
tion, which was at one time proposed
by the conspirators, would have resul-
ted very disastrously to those who
should have the termity to undertake
it. The plan proposed was TO waylay
the President at night during one OF
his frequent visits to the War Depart
ment, when he was in the habit OF 90,
ing to read the telegraphic dispatches
during the time Of important military
movements, and when he would often
remain until a very late hour, return
ing alone through the grounds of the
White House. A hali.dozen men were
to seize and carry him off; but, had
they attempted it, they would probably
have found that they had met their
match, for he had the strength of a
giant. Judge SWEET, of Chicago, who
was an intimate friend of his, says that
he has seen him dash into crowd
where two powerful men were fight
ing, and, taking each by the collar,
hold them ont at arms length in the
most helpless and ridiculous position

Occasionally we come across Demo
crat who queries whether the Demo

tional movement, there being "lots OF
Republicans who want TO beat the
party, but have been educated to hate
the name of Democrats and will not go
with u.s." If men who have got sick
of Republicanism want relief, lot them
come into the Democratic party. The
Democracy will welcome them with
open arms. But if they will not do
that, then let them work out their own
salvation. On the issues the Nationals
raise, the Democracy are clean while
as much cannot bc said of many lead.

ran West for governor OF Ohio on a

truckled in his speeches to the most

Nor EXACTLY So,-The Montrose
Republican, in animadverting upon the
career of William II. Dimmick while n
member of the Legislature in 1874 4,
speaks as follows
II was during the term when the Democrats
bad control Of that body, and when they made ii
the most scandalous and corrupt legislature this
Commonwealth has known 10 halfa century. All
manner Of jobbery, bribery aud nscality gener-
ally prevailed.
We agrec with the editor Of the Re
publican in what be has to say about
this Legislature with the one single
exception-that it was Republican
instead of n Democratic Legislature,
the former having s majority in the
Senate and II in the House, with
Henry II. Mccormick, Republican, of
Allegheny county, as Speaker of the
House at the time this corrupt work
was being DONE Wyoming Democrat.
