II Now, this is too mean! Garcelon, the
Greenbacker just elected Governor of Maine, has
prepared his message, in which he approves Re-
sumption. What satisfaction is there in having
. Grcenback Governor, when his first act is to
go squarely back upon the very foundation stone
of Greenbackism

E The lower House of the Maine Legsla-
ture, having a majority of Greenbackers and
Democrats, selected the Greenback and Demo-
cratic candidates for Governor, for the Republi-
can Senate to choose from, although the Repub-
lican candidate had by far the most votes at the
polls. The Senate elected Gercelon, the Green
hacker, Governor. He was formerly Republ-
can. Had we been the Senate, we should have
chosen the Democratic candidate, and have done
with it. We prefer a known aud open opponent
to q go-between, who is ready to unite with
either party, for share of the spoils. Besides,
the Democrats and Greenbackers are Siamese
twins in politics. If the effects of resumption
are not such as to play ont the Greenback party,
they will ultimately be found operating as faith
full allies of the Democracy.

THE pST;a1I STATE OF 1olix1S KANSAS 3ss.
Daily Republican., 1879-02-03

GENERAL BUTLER evidently believes
in the propriety of taking time by the
forelock. His overwhelming defeat for
Governor Of Massachusetts several
months ago, is still fresh in the memory
of every reader. Two weeks ago his
successful competitor was inaugurated
and on last Saturday his friends and
adherents gathered in the Hub to make
arrangements to prosecute his claims at
the next election. Their efforts seem
to have been directed towards captur-
ing the regular Democratic party in
that State, and if they can manage to
unite the Greenbackers with them,
their prospects of success are not SO
bad. Benjamin has many strings to
his bow, and may continue to keep the
politics of his native State in lively
state of turmoil for the next quarter Of
a century.

The OWLS, HAWKS aud muskrats O
Sussex County, have not yet marched
upon the State Capital If We are to be
lieve the printed reports Of the Legis
lature. This reminds us Of chArac
teristic little speech that W. p. Biggs
a representative from New Castle coun
ty, made before the Lsgislature,ss We
think in 1873, upon bill providing
for the destruction OF owls and hawks
that the farmers might be enabled to
raise chickens undisturbed by those
enemies. Mr.. Biggs maintained tina,
the farmers of New Castle osurty did
not desire such bill, III fact they had
ra Their warm side for hawks, for
though they did carry off pullet ev.
cry now and then, they more than re.
paid the loss by the number of mice
they destroyed, "but as for Sussex"
said Mr.. Biggs, "well the people Of
Sussex need this bill and they ought
to have it, for if the hawks are not de-
stroyed they won't raise any chickens,
and if they have no chickens they wont
have no preachers, and then the Lord
have mercy on their SOULS 1t is
needless to say that Mr.. Biggs had
New Castle exempted and the law was
passed for Sussex.

The CASE againt Davenport, United
States Commissioner in New York about
the intimidation of 10000 Of the fierce
Democracy of that city is still progress
ing, before the committee Of Congress
Messrs. Freye, Lynde and Forney. 1t
is expected that the testimony OF the
Democrats will be all in by Monday
noon. Then the testimony of the defence
will be taken. SO far, the charge that
the Democrats lost 10000 votes by tn e
arrests OF the United States Super visor,
has not been proved. There were only
500 arrests at the outside, and this is
not 10, 600 by any means. No one not
arrested has been found to say that he
did not vote because lie was afraid of
Davenport, nor does it appear that any
man was interfered with except those
who voted on naturalization papers of
1865 now claimed to be fraudulent
Mr.. Davenport ought to be compell-
ed, in all fairness, to show that those
papers were unlawfully issuel, as a
justification for his conduct. He says,
himself, that his defense will be COM
plete and satisfactory.

Last weak while the most Of the pap
srs through the country were lauding
Ben. Hill, and other rebel leaders for
taking stand against the payment Of
rebel or any other war claims, We with
held our need Of praise to the redoubta.
BILE rebel leader and stated that in our
opinion there was not only no honest
sincerity in him taking such a stand,
but it was only to draw wool over the
peoples eyes until the ex.rebels got
firmly entrenched in power. We find
We are not alone in these views, for
the Philadelphia North american in re-
ferring TO the same subject, says We
should not be according much credit to
the few Democratic leaders who have
arrayed themselves against their party
in opposing the payment Of two rebel
claims. On sober second thought no
one will believe that such Democrats
as Senators Ben. Hill, Francis Kernan,
w. W. Eaton, Francis NJ. COckrell, and
others, whe voted against the Warren
Mitchell cotton claim, are going to do
anything TO antagonize the great body
of voters in the only sure Democratic
States of the country. The hearts Of
these voters are set on the payment of
these claims in fact, they can see but
little other purpose in democratic sue
cess. But these leaders see plainly
that to trust all on the hazard OF snch
a cast would be suicide to their indi
vidual hopes and the hopes of all party
success in future. They proclaim their
virtuous intentions in loud tones, but
quietly urge the claimants TO wait.
This is clearly seen by their unwilling
ness to remove the temptation by a
amendment prohibiting
the payment of all such claims. The
attitude Of conscious self righteousness
which they assume on Senator I'd.
munds' amendment is not one in which
the Democratic party appears to the
best advantage, and since its transpar.
ency has been seen on all possible oc-
,asions it will hardly deceive the coun-
Try.

THE GREAT PARTY Of Reform is awake
n Missouri. A Legislative investiga.
ting committee has discovered that
their Supreme Court has invested in a
bath tub for the use of the Judges, at
an expense to the State of $685..
This proceeding of the Supreme Court
was certainly both extra-judicial and
un-Democratic, and naturally excites
the Indignation Of the great un-
washed" That an occasional bath
would be of great service to the Judges
of Missouri might almost be regarded
as presumption of law as well as Of
fact d.; still it indicates decided Republic
can proclivities, and therefore Demo-
cratic Legislature cannot consistently
do otherwise than refuse the appropri-
alton.

The Gazette says that the REPuBIi
SANS accountjof State Treasurer Rey'
nold's banquet at Dover, on Tuesday
night last, was not only scurrilOus, bu
false and insulting to all the partici
pants in the banquet. Should not ouI
neighbor be more careful where it get'
its information from before it makes
such reckless assertions 1t is very
we'll known that the whole thing was !
drunken revel, but all who attended
were not drunk, and if the Gazette viii
only take the trouble to inquire closet y
from the citizens of Dover who are not
in any way connected with the Legis
lature, and who are not influenced by
party bias, it will find out enough tt
make it take the back track, and de.
nounce such affairs as they should be.
Our neighbor has always denounced
drunkenness without stint, and now
that it has chance to strike at it in
high places, it should not withhold its
gain no credit for denouncing the RE.
puBLlcAN's report of the banquet, for
there are members of the Legislature
who will not dare say that it was not
in the main true, and even the Deid-
wareun admits that there were few
persons under the influence ofliquor to
a considerable extent. When that pa
per makes such an assertion it means a
great deal more than what it says, and
when it SO recklessly and untruthfully
charges that the reporter OF the REprB-
LfcAS was drunk, it might as well have
said that there was not a drop of liquor
at that banquet, but it was easier
TO say that the reporter only was
drunk. Those members of the Legis-
lature and others who lknow the alb
stemious habits of our Legislative re-
porter, when they read the false charge
in the Deiapdrcan, will realize how ..un.
truthful their organ is. Even the Every
Eoening, fulsome in its fattery of the
generosity, purity and honesty of all
tue State officials, l.: has not denounced
the REPUBLICANS report, nor has any
other papers in the State done so ex-
cept the Gazette and Delduarean. The
State Sentinel published at Dover, not
only bears out the REPUBLICANS report
but makes it stronger. The Milford
Ners hints at it but had evidently not
heard the worst. Had the editor him
self been present at Dover we can only
imagine the scathing terms in which
he would have denounced it.
The Sussex Journal, Seaford Inder,
and MiddIetown Transcript all Demo-
cratic, have no word in condemnation
of the REPUBLICAN report, nor in praise
of the banquet. The reasons for this
silence are obvious. The GaSette as we
have already said has been unsparing
in its denunciation of drunken carou-
sails everywhere, and why falter now
Let it take back what it has said; for
the interests OF truth and morals take
it back.
