THE difference between the
republicans and democrats in
congress is very great. The
republicans backed by the pres
ident, claim that the general
government shall have control
of the election for congressman
and to that end, claim the use
of the army at the polls, if nee
essary. The democrats con-
tend that the election of con-
gressmen is a matter wholly
within the control of the several
states and that the general gov
eminent has no right to inter-
fere unless the state is unable to
maintain public peace.

In the good old days of OK
wagons and stage coaches the
state taxes. were only twelve
and a half cents on the 500.
The railroad, the telegraph and
the daily papers were unknown.
Times have changed and the
people have changed with them.
Taxes are now much higher.
The Statesman referring to the
tax rate says: "Now twice that
amount is levied for the public
schools alone" This is a mis-
representation of the grossest
kind. Under the constitution
the state tax cannot exceed fif-
ty cents on the 500, one-fourth
of the general revenue is appro-
priated for the public schools
whichis only twelve and a half
cents on the SIoo and not twen-
ty five cents, as claimed by the
Statesman. In this particular
instance it lacks one hundred
per cent of giving the true fig
ures, which is about as near as
it cares to come in regard to
any matter pertaining to the
schools.

tory as again brought to light
by a correspondent of the New
York .Ti6une, as follows.
Judge Davis was elected sena-
tor in 1876 over Logan by the
advice and procurement of both
Edmunds and Morton, who were
determined to prevent his being
a member of the electoral COM
mission. They classed DAVIS
as sterling independent, with
strong democratic proclivities,
but had perfect confidence in
Bradley as republican with no
contentious scruples which
would prevent his awarding the
prize of the presidency to Hay
es, regardless of whatever evil
idence might be presented. The
Tf6Me's correspondent declar-
es that Senator Morton sent an
agent to Springfield to confer
with the republican members of
the Legislature. and that the
withdrawal of Logan after the
hundreth ballot was the pur-
pose of electing Davis thus
making the coast clear for
Bradley"
