DEMOCRATIC ECoNoMY.-The Wyan dotte Her.
aid asks us to explain how the Democratic econ
envy of Speaker Randall will prove expensive in
the end. In the first place, why is Randall en-
titled to itf If it is really economy, why not
give the credit to the body Of Congress, who do
the work, and not to the Speaker, who does
nothing but put the motonsi In fact, why not
the Democratic Caucus, that cut out and dctat-
ted all the worki Bat we again say, it will
prove, in the end, extravaganza instead of econ
omy. At the outset, it may appear that so much
money is saved but in order to make it so ap-
pear, every branch of the Government is Grip
not prosecuted, and public business generally is
retarded. The expense of repairing these losses
hereafter will he much greater than if they had
not been hampered ia order to make it appear
that Democratic Congress was economizing in
order to make some political capital. If you
starve your cattle through the winter, you may
make yourself belive you are economizing, but
when, in the Spring, rs a consequence of this
economy, your cattle become hide bound and
die, you can figure up that your so-called econ
omy was extravaganza. So it, for the sake of
economy, you expose, starve and freeze yOur
family, your outlay for doctors bill will over
balance the amount you saved. But it may be
your policy to let your family go to the devil,
just rs your Congress will allow the country to
go to the devil, if they can make some cheap
capital for the time being. We don't mean to
intimate that you, personally, starve your cat
tie or your family, but put it merely by way of
illustration. We hope you see the point.

THAT OPISION.-Attorney- General Willard Ds-
Wis has reiterated his opinion on The delinquent
tax-list question. Here it is:
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE
Topeka, Dec. l5, 1879.
John T. RastaH Editor Of Usage County Chronicle,
Buriiagdme, Kansas:
DEAR SIR Your letter of the 18th inst TO nv friend
NJ. Weightman, Esq has been referred to me for
swer.
The substance of opinion which have given. the
subject to which You refer, is this That the County
Treasurer, and not the County Board, has the legal
authority to designate the paper in which the de-
linquent tax-lists shall be printed and published.
That the fees for such printing fixed by law, and
cannot be changed modified by the Board. and all
they have do is audit the printers bill in such
and Orer il paid. As to other kinds of print
ing for the County, and which. in fact il paid by the
County. the BOar designates the printer. There is
to he made for the courts which will settle all
these matters. Very respectfully.
WILLARD DAVIS, Atty Genl.
As the question now stands, it is this The
Statutes of Kansas distinctly say "The Boards
of County Commissioners of the several Conn
ties Of this State shall have exclusive control of
all expenditures accruing, either in the pnblica-
tion Of delinquent tax-lists Treasarer's notices,
County printing, or any other expenditures"
The attorney General says the County Treasur-
ers have exclusive control of delinquent tax
lists, in spite of the positive language Of the
law. 1t now remains to be decided whether the
Attorney General is mightier than the laws of
the State.

e When Republicans remember what
hard fight they made against the Congressional
Salary -grabbers, a few years ago. and remember
that President Grant signed the Grab, and avail

it will be necessary for his "boom" to overcome.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CoNvENTIoS.-The
National Republican Committee met at WASH
ingtop, last week. Don. Cameron was elected
Chairman, in place of Senator Chandler, and
Chicago was selected as the place for holding
the National Convention, and Thursday, June
Sd, the time fixed.
Cincinnati made tempting offers for the Con-
vention ;~but her conduct at the last one was
fatal to her hopes. She had the Bristow fever
then, and her citizens and newspapers treated
all other candidates very meanly and insulting
ly Mr.. Blaine especially came in for their in
suits. Cincinnati received but two votes in the
Committee.
The election of Cameron is said to be in the
interest of the Grant "Boom" In fact, he left the
"Boom" at Philadelphia, in order to attend the
meeting of the Committee, and the Pennsylvania
member resigned, in obedience to orders, to give
place to Cameron, so that he might be chosen
Chairman. Cameron openly proclaims himself
for Grant, and says Pennsylvania will appoint
delegates at an early day, and instruct them for
Grant Cameron received but two majority
over the candidate who was supposed to favor
Blaine. The Grant and Sherman men united
against Blaine. So it goes, as heretofore. They
are all jealous of Blaine's popularity. and it re-
quires their united forces to beat him. But after
while, Blaine will be so strong that they all to-
pether cannot beat him.

Maine, and Other Things.

The Democratic fraud in Maine, by which .
large Republican majority in the Legislature is
thrown ont, and large Democratic majority
counted in, without any pretense of having been
elected, is only q more open and bare faced
phase of Democratic practices since they began
to recover power. Il is part of 9 conspiracy
that has been and is going on tn make Demo-
cratic President, election or no election. Legal
ly elected Republican United States Senators
are thrown out, so that the Republicans cannot
secure majority by any possible gains. Legal
ly yelected Republican Congressman are unseated,
and Democrats put In their places. in order to
make certain States Democratic, in case the
election of President devoives upon the Honse.
This work all goes on by order of the leaders of
the Democratic party. Governors and Congress
men. in these outrageous acts, are bnt doing the
bidding of recognized party leaders.
Republicans see these things going on day by
day, and can have no doubt as to the result
aimed at. Democratic Governors and Legisla-
lures do not hesitate at any act to give their
party power-whether it be re dstricting
State for Congressman ont of the regular time,
or counting ont officers legally elected. The
Republicans have it in their power yet to check
hands, where it would rigbtfully be, if fair cleo
tions were held. Why, should they longer per-
init conscientious scruples to deter them from
meeting the enemy with his tactics. Nearly all
the Northern States now have Republican Leg
islatures. The States in which they have such
msjorities, possess a majority Of the Electoral
votes for President 1t is possible that some Of
these States might go Democratic at the next
election. 1t is probable that outrageous frauds
will carry some of them. Why trust to such
concingenciesi In nearly all the States, the
Legislatures have the power TO designate how
Electors sbal, be chosen. They can enact that
they shall be chosen by Congressional Districts,
or that the Legislature may choose them. In
all these States, where the law will permit, let
the Legislatures, by adjournment, meet OH the
Tuesday after the first Monday in November,
and choose Republican Electors. Then let Rome
howl. If Grant is the candidate, which now
seems inevitable such election will stick.
