We neglected to make mention las t
week of the robbery of Fl. j, Brace by
some sneak thief, who entered his house
during the night and stole SAT-. The
money has not been recovered, and as far
as We are informed, there is no clue to
thief. The loss bears heavily on Mr..

command to run his business.

Every American citizen OF ac-
knowledged ability, and who has
been tried in political, public and
official station. should always in this
free republican form of government,
be willing for the time being, to
yield up his mere individual wishes
to the demands of his fellow citizens
who may desire his services in a
political station. III anticipation of
the political struggle that will in all
probability come to the American
people in the next four years, it will
require ali the wisdom and ability
of congressman and senator's to
handle wisely and dispose of judi
cially. No one can, who observes
events with common care, fail 10 SEQ
the signs of the times, that free and
untrammeled right of suffrage is
being abridged in certain sections of
tho country and that, too, where the
laws fully guarantee the right.
Many electors now, through fear
and intimidation, are prevented from
exercising this right, and if granted
the boon it is 10 cast their suffrage
in some other direction than their
judgments and consciences approve.
Legislation, state and national, will
be required TO reach this great
wrong pcactieed upon voters. They
must cast free ballot in every state
of the Union, or our independent
form of government will become a
Kissing and by-word among the peo-
Piles Of the earth. Before this right
can be secured to the down-trodden
electors Of the United States the
conflict may assume another form
than that of legislation, aud if it
does, VIC predict for il one OF The
most terrible struggles in its conse-
quences ever witnessed on the
American continent. We are earn
est in our hope that il may end
peaceably, with proper legislation,
in which all good citizeps can cheer
fully concur.
In view of this struggle we know
Of no better qualified man in the
nation to assist in bringing about
this legislation than Senator Blaine
By this expression Of opinion we dc
not intend to cast any reflection
