GATES DEFAMERS

Those political blackguards to whom
fairness is q stranger and truth unknown.
say that Georgia's treasurer should have
lived in Missouri, where ~defalcation on
the part of such ar officer goes unpun-
ished. This is q lie, of course. The
state treasurer of Missouri is no more a
defaulter than our county treasurer
would be If the banks holding the coun-
ty deposits should fail. and he be there
by temporarily unable to pay out the
moneys of the county. The Georgia
treasurer is proven to have received
benefits from the deposits OF the states
moneys; precisely the reverse was
proven in the case of Gates. The gov
ernor. who urged impeachment, and
deplored his lack of power to examine
Gates accounts, or to proceed against
his bond, was given these powers fully,
freely, by the legislature. He was ap-
plsuded for desiring the impeachment;
why does he not proceed ? Because,
when he comes face to face with the
matter, he finds an honest, though un-
fortunate public servant, trying as no
other man ever tried before, to hand
back to the democratic party which cleo
ted him, an unviolated trust. The pay
ment Of every dollar will make no diff
ference in Gates honesty or dishonesty.
The money is not withheld from the
state by his conn1vance or consent, but
when he makes it good to the state, the
little demagogues and dirty falsifers
who, to prove for themselves a virtue
they v possessed. have been crying
out "Crucify him, cruelty him." will be
valued at their true worth. The demo-
cratic party Of Missouri makes no COM
promises with rascality. and has men at
its helm who are brave enough to be
just. despite the vaporings of ignorance,
malice. envy and hVpOcrisy.

The most absurd objection to Tilden

The most absurd objection to Tflden
is the one that as he was elected he
should have said, like old Jackson"
s.By the Eternal, 1 was elected, and l
will have my seat" When jackson
said "By theEternal!' he was president
and commander in chief of the armies
of the United States, whereas Tilden
was only a candidate in the hands OF
his party. three tourths of which had
agreed to an electoral commission, with
out his consent. Here then was the Sit
nation: With the entire republican
party opposed to him. three tourths OF
his Own party was tied to the decision
of the commission. Still, men who
didn't care for war when it was furnish
ed to their hand, think Mr.. Tildsn should
have plunged the country into anarchy
with one eighth of the people at his
back. He did better. He acquiesced.

would have been in the other event.

The Quincy, Ills, Wing is a republic
can paper. and to judge from its utter
ances, it IS of the stalwart school. 1t
recently SAID, every republican knows
that nothing could happen to this re-
public that would be OF so great advan-
tage to it as a general and judicious
slaughter OF the democrats at the polls.
For this purpose there ought to be fed
eral bayonets in every county OF the Uni
ted Statos at tho no.s general election.
There ought to be more, but there are
unfortunately 40 more to be had. Every
patriot, however-and every patriot is a
to take a bayonet
with him to the polls for the purpose of
assisting the federal army in the work
of killing democrats" A nice prospect,
truly, and still there are democrats who
are small enough to SOW seeds of dis
sension in their own ranks to crafty
personal ends.
The London Times significantly says
that the extraordinary controversy now
alarming Europe on the supposed mis-
understanding between G~ortschakoff
and Bismarck, shows what dangerous
stuff is all around US. The ring of in
Spectators in confusion seems
to have half persuaded the illustrious
statesmen that the greatness of one
empire is incompatible with the
greatness OF the other. For the Russian
and German nations at present the diff
Guilty appears to be to manufacture rea-
sons for flying at each others throat.
Their interests are in no respect oppos.
ed. Neither owns territory coveted by
the other. We believe much of the
OF swords would be found to
be merely the exercises of fencing
schools, but it is time the masters should
come forward and reassure mistrustful
Europe.

Dime Novels Again.

A week or two ago, four lads in
New York, from IA to l6 years old,
resolved to start TO the far West to
seek their fortunes. After long So
wing, they managed to provide their
outfit, which consisted of one gun,
two parlor-pistols, one dagger, four
Observation-Disclosures their fiery mus
tangs which they meant TO bestride-
and 20 cents in cash.
They met at midnight at one of the
ferries for start, when the leader OF
the expedition discovered that he had
left the photograph OF his lady-love
at home, and, declaring that he could
not travel without il, went back for
it.
His mother heard him climbing in
at the bathroom window, and gave
the alarm; policeman arrested him
MS burglar, and he was marched off
to q police station, where his father
recognized him the next morning.
The story came out, and the boys
were taken home, we are told, "to be
taught better sense" We doubt,
however, if the teaching be success

16 with no other qualification for ia

The following paragraph from the
Philadelphia Times explains itself:
"The worst blow that John Kelly,
and therefore A. B. Cornell, has re-
ceived is that dealt in the decision that
Tammany is to have no inspector OF
o!ection this year. 1t is held by the
learned counsel that have been con-
suited, both Republican and Demo-
cratic, that only the regular organiza-
tion of each party may be represented
in this important branch of the ma
chinery OF election. Every inspector
that Tammany could secure would be
worth to Kelly nearly his weight in
votes. True, the regular Republican
inspectors might be led into the secret
of an inspectors duties to his party
under the Tammany system, but that
would be to give the enemy ammunl.
tion that might be used against the
Democracy next year. y batter plan
would be to import some Republican
guardians of the purity of the ballot
from Philadelphia, and let them open
lodges of instruction in our sister
city. We warrant that in some
things the Philadelphia experts could
give even Tammany inspectors val
liable points of the work Of the higher
degrees of the modern order of Ballot
