on political canvass based on prin'

Brown aud Evans, the lately "sus-

The Carroll Conservative reads the

a lecture on democracy. Let's see.
The Conservative is about one year

democracy because it has done such
noble work for it. Now, IT'S singular
that no one ever heard of the Carroll
Conservative, and it's "25 years in

and 1876. We were sadly in need of
its talent at that time, but perhaps it

A Sorry Dilemma.

Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, Of the
Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee, is reported as having said,
when the question Of the Florida invc>.-
tigation was under discussion. that "thrre
are not two Democrats in ten VIII" desire
60 get Tildcn in the White House. What,
then, will an investigation accomplish ::
If an investigation is solrmnly ordered
by the House of Representatives, it must
be for al object more than the mere tact
of making campaign capital. 1t must
be for result, and that result can only
be, if the Florida fraud is proved. the
taking of some steps to get Hayes out OF
the White House. Now, if the Demo-
cratic party enters into the matter at all,
it must be with purpose to overturn
the results of the fraud, if fraud be es'
tablshed It must, if fraud is proved,
vitiate that which has been accomplish
ed by it, and the inevitable end wonld be
a movement to disturb President Hayes
in his seat.' He next nalyzed the effect
of such movement in the way OF party
capital. He thought that if the inves-
tigation is entered into the Republicans
will take advantage of such proceeding
to give out that the Democratic party is
endeavoring to disturb the peace OF the
country, to create revolution and to turn
HAYES out and put Tilden in; when the
fact is that Tilden's own party don't
want him in the White House. Again,
he thought, it all investigation was Wig
orously pressed it would solidify the fac
tons in the Republican party and give
cohesive strength to an organization that
+hc drift of events is fast disintegrating.
He said that while no sane man Wonld
and Louisiana S,is through fraud, yet he sstb
seoucntly attained solid title to his
Office through bill which was passed by
Dpmocratic votes.-Cincinnatl Enquirer

What's in a man never shines or
fades except when he stands face to
face with an issue. Smooth sailing
no wind-all calm, never brings out
the slaunchness of a ship. A news
paper is like the man and ship. With
a war in Europe and good pair of
scissors, it's clean work. and no effort.
Put that paper before the breach and
seven in ten it limps like rag. Just
at present We are having a rush Of
these papers hunting the rear. An
issue comes in the shape of the enc
my on one side and the clamor of an
outraged people on the other, and
they are sick.
For seven teen months they have
banged with the stuffed clubs, at every
small head in sight-generally some
poor radical without friends and al
ready chinned to death. They talked
constitutional Convention"and frotl
ed against the Legislature until-their
"honorables" returned home, then
they "reacted," while now they
whine, "that if we attempt o vigorou
canvass on principles specifically en-
unciated; if we move on aggressivel!
to the fulfillment of the pledges mad
to the people, it will "cause a spill
in the party" Then, in Gods name
let the party split. In that event tn
weak and dishonest elements, 10
whose sins of omission and commits
sion we are held responsible, will b
rid Of, and we can redeem thot
pledges or fail ia the attempt wit
all the virtue of the State at Of
backs. .. ~, !.
