D. Wyman just as they were leaving town
with the plumber. Coombs discharged re-

WASHINGTON.

Report of the Inspector General Of the
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-General Marcy, In
spector General of the Army, in his annual
report, states there has been marked improve
ment in skill in handling arms by the army
during the year, as well as in Workmanship
with the Springfield rife, notwithstanding
the large number on the duty of repairing and
building quarters. The small army force is in
a good state discipline, but there are large
number of extra duty men of many military
posts who are comparatively without military
instruction. The officers are habitually
temperate and not addicted to gambling or
other Acious habits. The rank and file are en-
listed from more than respectable classes tina n
1 have ever before known during my AZ years
military service, and the troops have evinced a
most commendable spirit in the performan ce
of their ardous duties.

MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 3.

generation of men have gone to their graves
Since the Democratic party has been able to
call itself anything but the tool of the South.
A sectional party at all times, defeated party
for twenty years, disgraced and dlshohoreu
party even more by the acts of its own leaders
than by the repeated spurning of the people, II
stands in the way of the nations honor and the
nations peace, and men are SUN asheu 10 sup
port it because their fathers did before them
The situation now is suggestive. In october
last the Democratic party attempted revolu-
tionary movement. 1t threatened to stop the
wheels of government unless permitted to defy
the constitution and the laws, and to strip the
President Of his rightful power. 1t has APP
peaTed to the people, and has met with igno-
minious defeat in every State which has voted
since Congress adjourned A year ago scarce
ly Republican was hopeful enough to predict
a Democratic defeat in 1880, and the only
question gravely discussed in political circles
was whether the Democratic party would elect
one man or another to the presidency. NOW
scarcely Democrat dares to hope for success
of his party in presidential election, and the
only question is whether She RepublicanSswill
nominate theie best and worthiest, or an lnfe-
ror candidate Ohio has put the brand of
popular condemnation upon the soft-money
and repudiating tendency of the Democratic
party, and the uprising of the Democrats of
New York against Mr.. Tilden and his clique of
embarrassing tricksters makes it plain that the
party cannot hope to win III this State elther
WITH MN or Without lllln IL is uoOhleu W uO-

serves its doom, because it has been false to
Democratic principles, false to human rights,
false to the public faith, false in these later
days to the elementary principles that gov
ernment called free shall not be controlled by
massacre or ballot-stuffing, by torce or fraud.
The young man of day who ties himself to
the Democratic party, has before him dismal
year of penitence and shame. He will see the
party of his choice trampled into the mire by
the exposure of the most infamous things ever
done under a free government. AS samples,
three may be mentioned: the cipher dispatches,
the Chisholm massacre, and the vote of the
last Democratic Congress for the repeal of the
resumption act. Ia every respect, and at
every peint the Democratic party has dishon-
ored and disgraced itself as far as it was posi-
Bile, and its ADLER journals are now crying aloud
with great bitterness of spirit that it has
thrown away all its legitimate chances, and
has no hope save in the willingness of one des-
perate old man to buy votes with money most
unscrupulously acquired. Is that the sort of a
party to which the young men of to-day want
