A LONDON RIOT.-LoNDON, Feb.

A LONDON RIoT.-LoNDoN, Feb.
24.-The supporters of the government
assembled in great force near Marble
Arch this afternoon, for the purpose Of
putting down the peace demonstration,
protesting against any attempt to en-
barrass the government and against the
Russian occupation of Constantinople.
After enthusiastically passing resoIu-
tons in favor Of the government, the
crowd attacked and temporarily broke
up the peace meeting which was in
progress in Hyde Park. After some
time Chas. BradIaugh moved resolu-
tons in favor Of peace, but he was fire.
quently obliged to change his position.
Several fights occurred in the mean
time and the mob sung Rule Brit n
MIA" After Bradlaugh's departure
there was some heated discussion and
more fighting The crowd in and
around the park is estimated at $1,000
to 100000, of whom 10000 actually
took part in the proceedings. A large
and excited section went to boot before
Gladstone's residescc, but was prevent
ed from doing any damage by a strong
force of police.
A few persons were taken to the
hospitals, with Commissions received at
Sundays peace meeting in Hyde Park.
The affair was complete failure. The
peace resolutions were put to and car
ried by crowd Of persons who sur
rounded Bradlau:h after he had been
driven from the platform. In the
evening crowds assembled and cheered
before the residences of Moisurus Pa
sha and Lord Beaconsfed. Some
windows in Gladstone's house were
broken.

Gen. AndersOn'S Case.

The jury which convicted Gen.
Anderson, of the Louisiana Return
ing Board, recommended him to the
mercy of the court, which is conclu-
sive evidence that the case was a
very weak one. Indeed, no intelli-
gent, fair minded person pretends
that the prosecution was intended
for other than political effect, and
we do not believe there is any in
clination to punish Gen. Anderson
ut all. The programme was to
place stigma upon him and throw
4 cloud over the validity of the Re
turning Boards action, and thus
make capital for the Democracy
with which to go into the next pre-
sidential campaign. With 'Fraud'
for their battle cry they propose t.
90 before the people and try to carry
the country in 1850. The convic
ton of Anderson, to be followed, as
a matter of course, by similar re-
suit in the case of J. Madison Wells
will be all that is required to make
a brima facie case for the BULLDOG
ers, and this is all they are Intend
upon accomplishing. Indeed, over
lures have been made to the Presi-
dent which show that the prosecu-
ton spoken of is a political stock
jobbing operation, and nothing
more. All that the Democrats wish
to secure is control of the spoils,
and the Governor stands ready to
pardon Anderson, provided the
President will remove the three
members of the Board who now
hold federal offices in that state and
agree not to appoint any of the
Board to any Govern msnt position
in Louisiana. No further evidence
can be wanted of the wickedness of
the bull-dozing Democracy of that
state, and of their want Of fairness
and sincerity.

How Democratic congressman are
Made.

The unseating of Representative
Belford, of Colorado, some time
ago, by the Democratic House of
Representatives, and the admission
of Patterson in his place was at the
time regarded as one of the cheeki-
est performances ever attempted in
a deliberative body. When after
wards Mr.. Pacheco, Of California,
was unseated to make room for
Wiggenton, his Democratic compe-
titor, the climax was supposed to
be capped, and the lowest depth of
intamy reached. Pacheco not only
held the certificate of the Democrat
ic Board of Canvassers, but the de-
cision of the Supreme Court was
also in his. favor; still the Demo
Gratis in the House by strict party
vote admitted Wiggenton.
But still greater outrage than
either of these has just been COM
united in the case of Darrell, of
Louisiana, who had an honest ma
jority OF 1000, and by Democratic
count majority of over 1000, be-
sides being backed up with a certi-
ficate of election from both Gov.
Kellogg and Gov. Nichols. The
only reason reported for this charac-
teristic Democratic outrage was that
count of the ballots some four
months after election showed ma
jority for Akin, the contestant.
How much such count was worth
was shown by the statement that
the boxes containing the ballots had
been in irresponsible hands; that
the seals of some had been broken,

DURING a recent debate in the Ca
madam Parliament, the feeling in re-
gard to the presence of Sitting Bull
and his warriors in the Dominion was
pretty thoroughly discussed. Mr. Nc
Kenzie said that while they would not
allow Canadian territory to be used as
basis Of operations against the United
States, if the Indians remained peacea-
BILE they would not be refused an asy lum.

The Democrat, having no argument
to meet US with, does the next best
thing and treats lightly our article of
week before last instituting a compari-
son between the economical Board of
Street Commissioners in 1856 and
the profiigate Democratic Board of
1878. 1t does not dispute any of
our figures. because it knows they are
official and edo not lie" If it had
any explanation or defence to make,
one would be forthcoming at once,
but it knows very we'll that none can be
made, and hence it lodges the issue
and avoids all discussion. We have
reason to know, however, that tax-pay
ers are not blind to the facts we pre-
sented, and are at loss to understand
why the city is not managed as cheap
~ under Democratic rule, as when the
Republicans were in power. The
Democrat could not do its readers Is
greater service than to devote a por-
ton Of its space to the calculation of
this point, but we venture to say that
it will undertake no such difficult task.

A Fact They Forget to State.

Democratic papers which are loud
in their condemnation of the Louisiana
Returning Board for the alleged forgery
of election returns from Vernon Parish
fail to state that if all that is claimed
as to the changes in the figures be true,
the result on the presidential vote was
not effected in the least. Now this
goes very far to show that in all prob
ability there was no forgery committed,
for no motive is shown, nor does it ~.
pear that the Democratic party was
injured, nor the Republican party
benefited at all, assuming that the
Board did ''doctor" the returns as
charged. The Democrats claim that
the actual vote as cast was Republican
2, Democratic, 647; and that as can
vassed it was Republican ITS, Demo-
cratic, 1859. Whatever else may be
said about j. Madison Wells, Gen.
Anderson, and the other members of
the Returning Board, no one, we be-
lieve, considers them fools, and such
they certainly would be to commit a
penitentiary offence without the least
motive and to no purpose We believe
them entirely innocent of tie charge.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1878-02-27

and some of the ballots had no
marks Of ever having been folded,
showing conclusively that they were
never cast in the legal way, but
must have been deposited in the box
after it was opened. In face of
such facts the Democratic contes-
tant was seated by solid Democrat
ic vote, with one single exception.
Another Republican, Mr.. Field,
of Mass, is now in process Of being
slaughtered in the same way, the
Democratic committee having re-
ported in favor of his contestants
right to Mr.. Fields seat. The in
justice of the proceeding is unques-
toned, and suggests that if there are
any other Democrats who were de-
feated for Congress, and are anxious
for admission, they should make
early application. In this district,
for instance, where Mr.. Caswell's
majority was barely 200, we have
no doubt that he could be ousted,
and Judge Orion awarded the seat,
such is the temper and disposition
of the present House of Representa-
tives. With the Democrats there,
''might makesright, "and they could
easily fix things so as to unseat Mr..
Caswell and admit his competitor.
But perhaps as Judge Orion is sure
of better thing in his coming ac-
cession to the bench ofthe Supreme
Court, Mr.. Caswell is not likely to
be disturbed.
THE Senate amendments to the
Silver Bill were promptly concurred
in by the House last Thursday, and
the bill now goes to the President.
The original advocates of the meas
ure are dissatisfied with it as it
stands now, but voted for it finally
under protest, because they feared
that by fighting for something more
to their liking they would eventually
fail in getting any legislation at all.
On the other hand, the opponents
Of the Bland bill, who were not en-
tirely pleased with it as amended,
voted for it because its worst feat
ures had been emasculated, and they
preferred to accept this, rather than
take the chances of getting some
thing worse: So that while the
measure received an overwhelming
majority, it really had but few sup
porters who are not of the negative
sort. We hope the President will
approve the bill and let it have
fair trial.
