The Republicans of the LIST Congressional
District ought to elect James g. Otis. He has
The prestige of an historic name and of his
own unblemished reputation and there is
much dissatisfaction among the Democracy of
the District with their nominee. 1t is worth
an earnest effort.
Our country contains-we have high authority
Cor the statement-a large number of the most
remarkable men to be found in it. Not long ago
newspaper readers were Informed that a can
didate for Congress in a Western town Of mod
crate size bad been escorted to his residence by
"four hundred leading citizens" and lately
the world has learned that there are sixty
6eminent mining engineers and metallqrgists"
holding a meeting in the northern part OF the
State.
Judge Shellabarger tells a story in our Wash
ington dispatches, which adds another to the
many circumstances that have been disclosed,
proving the accuracy of THE TRIBUEE's
recent political disclosures. Mr.. Shellabar-
gers narrative covers the period Of the
blot to imprisOn the South Carolina
electors, in accordance with the humane"
suggestions of some very ingenious lawyer in
Mr.. Tilden's house-COlOnel Pelton, of course /;
and it shows that very bold attempt was
made to brlbe one Of the electors.
The distrust of Russia which Sir Stafford
NOrthcote evinces in his speech at Birming-
ham accounts in part for the hesitation which
the British Government manifests in provok-
ang hostilities with the Ameer. The Ministers
piainly discern that the large armies which
are being organized by Russian officers in Bull
Earia and Roumela may be used to overthrow
Ottoman Power or to remodel the Turkish pro-
Vinees in the interest of Russia. Hence Lord
BeacOnsfeld Is anxious for the Amer to
apologize, so that he may still be at liberty
10 menace Russia and intermeddle in Turkish
Affairs. The irresistible attraction of race
Md creed, however, conflicts with his Turkish
policy, and in time must render it ineffective.
Professor Perry still adheres to the extra
Srdinary notion that there is an important diff
ference between "bribery to secure the right "
and bribery to secure the wrong" Both in his
lecture the other evening before the Free Trade
Club and in the brief conversation which is re-
ported elsewhere, he lays great stress on
the fact that the attempted briberies in
Florida were, in his opinion, briberies to
"secure the right but the briberies
ia South Carolina, he now admits, must have
been briberics to secure the wrong" 1t viii
