The victim of the coparceners still delays to
bounce them.
The Reformer of the future will not keep conf
Dental nephew.
Somebody ought to say a kind word for Pelton.
Why doesn't he say IT himself
Mr.. Potter didn't find room in his letter to say
anything about that " fraud expedition
Nobody calls upon Smith Whip Weed to defend
himself The size Of the job seems TO be accurately
estimated.
Montgomery Blair's RrOtesdue defence Of the
ciphers, that they are Of no account because they
were obtained from monopoly, beats Tilden's all
hollow.
Senator Mcdonald, Of Indiana, tolls q RorM re-
porter that he has nothing. absolutely nothing. to
saw about Tildens denial. He isn't the only man in
the party whose feelings are too great for speech.
II the Democrats are so satisfied with Tildens de-
fence that they arc willing to "vindicate" him by
giving HIM q denomination in 1880, far be it from
any Republican to stop the funeral. There would
be no end OF fun IN II.
It would be q great relief TO the overwOrked and
demOraized Democratic editors If some of the Co
parceners would pronounce the ciphers forgeTes
and sue Tue TRIBUNE for libel. That would fur
nsh n common ground for defence. 1t would also
contribute greatly to The IRIBUNEs happiness

his prediction that the Democratic hunt for fraud
would result either in farce or tragedy. 1t has
resulted IN both. Dir. Potter furnished the farce,
and THE TRIBUNE has supplied the tragedy. The
Democratic party will hold the necessary funeral
just az soon as it can decide upon the corpse.
ExAttorney-G General Taft thinks the October cleo
tions will prove TO be the death of the Greenback
movement, that irredeemable paper money Is

he is not connected with the cipher dispatches"
Has the Judge been asleep
Mr. Watterson seems to be confused by the contra

and when he exults over the Indiana victory he Is
GOOD Voorhees, man. Thus he says the result in
Ohio is a death-Ieaing blow to the quackery
of the mOuntebanks whose only notion of financial
relief is the reputation Of tie National debt, the
destruction OF values and tie dissolution of sOci-
etyD and no rejOces thereat. Now, II voorhees, Is
not precisely this sort OF mountebank" his own
mouth grievonsly misrepresents him.
Mr.. Woollcy is evidently night when he says Hen
drcks would not be allowed to carry Ono as
Presidential candidate because the friends of PEN
