STATE PnrsrEE.-The State Printer contest

STATE PIINTEE.-The State Printer contest
comes up again, this Winter. We have prefer
ence among the candidates, but have no interest
in the Office, and shall, therefore, not advocate
the claims of any candidate. But there is
candidate who is making strong effort, whom
we do not want to see elected. That candidate
is Samuel Dodswortll, of Leavenworth. 1t has
been charged that George Martin does CONNER
cial printing, that ought to go to the Offices IN
the several Counties. But Mr.. Martin says he
neyer solicits snei 9o,k, and takes it only when

IL The Holton Recorder disputes our asser-
ton, that Hayes policy secured Democratic ma
iorites in both branches Of Congress. 1t says
the House was Democratic before Hayes was in
augurated. We do not charge that Hayes pol
icy was responsible for every Democratic VIC
tory, before bis election but we still stand by
our assertion, that he is responsible for Demo-
cratic majorities in both branches of Congress.
He betrayed the Republicans of the South, and
demoralized and dishcartened, for time, those
of the North. Had he not betrayed the South
ern Republicans, they would have elected
enough members of Congress, this year, to have
made the House Republican. Had it not been
for him, the Republicans would have had two
Senators from South Carolina, two from Lonisi-
ana, one from Ohio, and one, if not two. from
Indiana He was responsible for Ohio going
Democratic, last year, enabling them to elect
Senator, and to Gerymander the State so as to
gain half dozen or more Congressman. He IS
q frst-class fraud, and has done the Republlcsn u
party more harm than he could do it good, were
he to live a Thousand years, and devote his
whole time to the business.

JOHN CRADLE.

EDITOR CHIEF NO person, whether jew Gentle,
Mohammedan, Brahmin, Free Thinker, or devotee of
any other of the thousand religions of the world
ever walked down into the dark valley of the shadow
of death with frmer step-with more fortitude-
than did John Cradle. l visited him at the begin
ming of bis sickness, and when later he to the
conclusion TINT he 10 CO. and sent for me,
found him cheerful and perfectly reconciled to the
mandates of Nature. Knowing nothing of the future
he could frame no belief concerning it. Belief with
ont evidence he regarded superstition. He ap.
piled the rules of reasoning to the solution of
this problem that he did to all the questions of life
"As the world goes" said he, proofs called for
in finance politics, business, law, mathematics, the
sciences, ETC., and evidence must preccde conviction
and belief everywhere bnt in theology. There you
must go it blnd-shut your eyes, and run with the
crowd He thought that whatevor future awaited
him, would be for the best Nature committed no
wrongs. She dealt honorably and equtably with
her children-sought their good in this life, and
would undoubtedly do SO in the next if there was
one. He was not afraid to trust her. He had Gu
riosity to know what if anything, behind the
veil. If he awokp to another existence he felt as
sured Of greater scope for enjoyment than in this life
If he should never wake, he would never know it.
If he had wronged q human being, he did not
know il. lie thought the best preparation for the
next life, if there one to follow the impulses
of love- guided by the dictates Of reason in this
Reason was the gift Of the Infinite to be lamp to
our feet-a light to our path. man without reason
is O brute-a religion without reason the same
level. There was but only true religion-the
ligion of Nature-natural religion and not unnatural
religion. His conversation showed that he contem-
plated death with phosophic mind, and a simple,
chidlke trust in the infinite goodness Of Nature.

IL Que of the latest Constitutional amend

in any Stat, is abridged or denied TO any class
of citizens. the representation of that State in
Congress shall be reduced in proportion. Rep
resentative Page, Of California, will offer res
olutiou reducing the representation of those
Southern States in which Republicans have
been deprived of a vote. But as Congress is DEM
ocratic, there is no prospect that such q meas
ure can pass. However, it will offer an oppor-
tunity to the Democrats to practice their pro-
fessions of accepting the Constitutional amend

tY- And now the man who defeated the rene.
gade, Curtin, in Pennsylvania, is to be contest
ed out of his seat. The reason, given, is, that
the District is very strongly Democratic, and
everybody expected that Curtin would be elec
ted by at least 5000 majority; but he was very
sick ut the time of the election, and, to the sur
prise of everybody, he was defeated. This
tnakes the election fraudulent. Ii is very sin
gular that, with every County in the District
having over 1000 Democratic majority, the Re.
pnblicaus were able to perpetnate such enor,
nous frauds at the polls. But Democratic
Congress will place Curtin in q position where
the people refused to put him.

II We recently mentioned that W. V. Barr.
"foruerly of Kansas" was the candidate of the
Greenbackers, or Nationals, or whatever they
call themselves, for Congress in the First Hi
nois District, in the vicinity Of Chicago. Per
haps the reader would like to know how he came
out. He came out the hindmost of four, falling
even below the candidate who ran as a 'Social-
ist" Out of 23,63s votes cast in the District,
he received bat LISA. Barr's popularity does
not seem to increase by immigration.
