THE Potter Committee has completely
drawnits net around theDemocratic Wis
iting statesmen, and proved conclusive
Iy that they tried to buy the votes of
two States and hopelessly failed. and
it has proved beyond all question that
the Republicans not only did not buy
the Returning Boards, but made no ef-
fort to do so. The net so carefully
spread to catch Republican statesmen
is full of Democratic founders.
THE Cincinnati Times Co. has been
recognized, with an entirely new

under his control will not only main
tain the high reputation it gained un-
der his predecessors, but will, we pre-
dict, grow In strength and excellency.
Prosperity to the retiring editors, genial
gentlemen, all of them, and success to

1880 Up to date the material accumu-

That the Democratic party is the same
glorious old concern that it always
was; that 1t is in favor of buying a
Presidency If done only once and
the coparceny is not revealed by the
surIeptitious publication of the private
papers of gentlemen; that it is just and
right to redeem the Rolid South by
stufing ballot-boxes with tissue bal
lots and by bulldozing; that 1t is the
highest patriotism to maintain Dem
ocratic majority in the House of Rep
resentatives by seating Democrats in
the seats to which the people have
stupidity elected Republicans; that it is
high-handed tyranny to interfere with
ballot box suffers and repeaters work
ing in the interest of Reform; that it
is lofty Craftsmanship to break down
resumption by using the fund provided
for its maintenance to pay millions OF
pensions which have been voted to
make capital for the Democratic party;
and finally, that the penitentiary should
be abolished, since it is daily becoming
more and more peril to the existence
of Democratic majority ia Congress-"
