THERE are rumors 0lloat to the effect that
the Republican party will soon rejoice over
weighty accession to its ranks. Senator
DAVID DAVIS, according to common report,
bas wearied OF training alone in the DAVID
DAVIS party and carrying its ponderous re-
sponsibilities without the aid of any one
else. He cannot leap, so to speak, over into
the Democratic ranks and it is therefore
believed that he will quietly solidly, and
emphatcolly sit down in the Republican
camp When he does he will sit there for
ever and day.

THE execution of the Mollie Magures in
Pennsylvania not only detracts from the
strength Of the Democratic vote in that
State, but it robs the Democracy of the
country at large Of an argument that Ku-
Klrxism or violence is tolerated in the
North as nm offset to the charges of similar
outragcs against the South. 1t now appears
that nineteen Molies have been hung in
Pennsylvania in eXpiation of the crime OF
murder during the past two years, while in
the South not a single execution of Bull
dozer has taken place since the war.
