Washington Post The presidential
election next year, as things go to indicate,
will be close, very close. The democrats
hold the key of the situation, in that they
are in way TO control matters, And
their position is simply this: They do not
intend to interfere with the decision of the
people oE the presidential question, and
they do not propose that the republicans
shall. The democrats will do their utmost
to elect their candidate in 1880 If he is
elected they intend that he shall be iu~
augurated, come what may. If the re-
publican nominee is chosen he will be
seated. The democratic congress will
meet simply to register the decree of the
people. There will be neither ''couutine
in nor counting out"

The reports of fatal fever raging in the
counties of Polk, Paulding and Harranson,
Georgia, have not been overdrawn. Within
a few days over fifty men have died in an e1-
clusvely rural population. The victims were
mostly young men. Those attacked suffer
horribly, the tongue turning black and SWELL
ing to twice the natural size, the blood oozing
ing from their mouth and ears. Immediately
after death the bodies become spotted and
discolored OF twenty-nine cases under one
physicians treatment, not one recovered.

SEVERAL County Conventions i'll Peansyl-

and adopted resolutions favoring his renom-

ton. Notwithstanding this expression of
popular will, report is now telegraphed
throughout the country that Senator Wallace,
Of Pennsy lvania, who is a candidate for Vice
President, and therefore opposed to Tilden,
has made a compact with prominent politicians
and Office Seekers to carry the State delegation
against Tilden.-Siiuer State.
1t is generally understood that Sam Randall
is Tlden man and working for him. 1t is
more than likely that Sam Randall is working
for Speaker Randall, and knowing, as he must
that Tilden's dependence on a solid South
will tell against him in the Convention, he
hopes to come in as the " dark horse" At
any rate, Wallace has no chance with Sam in
manipulations.

KANsAs-On Monday night, September
10Th, the twenty fifth anniversary of the
Foundation, or Settlement of Kansas, will be
commemorated at Lawrence and promises to
be an interesting affair Kansas is the point
from which might be dated the commence
ment of the era of emancipation The per-
sistent efforts made by force and otherwise to
make Kansas slave State, first brought Bu-
chanan to the front as a first class dough face,
and lost the Democratic party such men as
Forney, who had seated him in the White
House. Col. Forney will be present and
speak on 1.-The Great Lesson of Kansas" and
will address the people Of the Capitol at the
Topeka Opera House. Col. Forney's name is
inseperably connected with that trying event
which made Kansas free State, and his ad-
dress will be worthy of preservation.
How time rolls We remember Forney at
the case and as youthful political orator on
the stump, and his fight on Kansas a staunch
patriot brilliant editor; fine speaker; a
ripe scholar and self made man.

Ever since the people of San Francisco

give up the public printing, that sheet has
been belching forth fire and flames and dena-
gopical trash which is disgusting to read.
The last is captioned "Hartranft for Sheriff. "

put toward in the breach, at the failure of
the base attempt, we should not have such
pests to scatter pestilence over the land.

Simon Cameron could not get a corporals

if the Examiner men do not know 1t, they

and reliable politicians tried to injure him by
a report that he had promised the turbulent
Irish element in Pennsylvania, that in case
they voted for him, he would pardon the con-

his word after election, and hung them. All
