Not Enough For a Decent Canvass.

Not Enough For a Decent Canvass.
The New York Nation ian in
dependent Republican newspaper,
advising the Republicans concern
ing the Presidential canvass, warn:
them that they cannot with effect
or even with decency go into the
campaign with the two murders
and one assault on which they have
conducted the canvass just closed,
and adds:
The Chisholm murder occurred
in 1877, and YOU used il in the
elections of last year. You have
now used il again, and came very
near having to use 1t alone. The
Dixon murder---a poor one at
best, in which one bull-dozing ruff
fan and gambler killed another
came TO you in the nick Of time,
and 40 did the assault on the post
master at Blackville. You must
remember that in the late canvass
you threw overheard every Re-
publican doctrine or argument ex-
cept distrust Of the South. You
got rid completely Of civil service
reform, and YOU said nothing about
the enormous volume Of notes
which the government has still out
standing, or about the pile Of sill
vor coin which is accommodating in
the treasury, and which possesses
SO much explosive power. You
were silent, too, about State affairs.
You fell back, in fact, almost COM
pletely on Southern lawlessness,
and the danger now is that YOU |
will have to go into the Presiden-
tial canvass with the weapons you
have used in this one.
But You cannot so into a Presi-
dental canvass, or even so TO the |
convention, and draw up the plat
form on stslwart principles, with
nothing but two old, and indeed
one might say secondhand muir
ders. You viii, therefore, need
fresh ones during the coming win
ter. and two murders collected over
an area as wide as the South and
from perturbed and semi-barbar-
Gus community will not be enough,
even when dressed up with the
best Of rhetoric at your command.
You must have at least q dozen TO
support the dreadful picture you
now draw Of Southern society,"
The danger Of this state Of things
is that your dependence on muir
ders for your campaign ammuni-
ton and your dislike 10 taking up
else will during the win
ter lead you first to welcome them
and then, by process with which
human nature is only too familiar,
10 desire them rs necessary 10 the
Of the party. That this
condition Of mind ought
TO I've guarded against. all or most
Of YOU will admit, and it can only
be guarded against by such utter
auces between now and next June
as will satisfy the party managers
that the game which has just been
so successful within the party in
this State cannot he played over
again in the larger field.

New York and the Next Presidency.

from the nctrc,t frcc rrcSs,
II is a little singular that dis
cussion concerning the result in
New York is confined almost ex-
clusively TO its effect upon Samuel
j. Tilden, who was elected Presi-
dent in 1876, and fraudulently de-
prived Of his office. Among Dem
ocrats the result is spoken Of, on
the one hand. as an indication that
Tilden ought not again TO be NOM
mated, and. on the other hand. as
vindicstion Of his power. Among
Republicans there is substantially
the same difference Of opinion !;
but with them, as with Democrats.
the chief value Of the election is
its bearing upon Mr.. Tlden's
chances for . denomination.
1t is natural, perhaps, that this
should be so. Mr.. Tlden has been
very prominently before the coun-
try for the last four years, and he has
undoubtedly exerted q great deal OF
influence in the State Of New York.
Unquestionsbly the result Of the
election was very largely due tc
his known championship Of the
Democratic candidate for Govern
or. 1t has, too, sn important bear.
ing upon his chance for rcnomins.
ton by National Convention
But there Is no good reason Why
these facts should be regarded b,
the Democracy, either Of New
York or Of the country, as the only
facts worth considering in counec
ton with the New York election
Mr.. Tilden is . shrewd politician
and an able leader, but he is O
infinitely less importance than tn,
Democratic party Of the country
OF even Of New York. Even vher
he is considered the great defssud
ed, il must not lie forgotten tina
the party suffered far more frou
the fraud which deprived him o
the Presidential Office. In his cas-
there was little lost but the graft
tieation of an ambition which "a

The old Milwaukee & Dubuque

The Evening Wisconsin says that

probabilities therefore are that by

ton rs to the shortest, most avail

at present surveyed, the line will
shorten the distance between Mil
waukee and Dubuque fifteen miles.
The road will traverse rich grain

tributary to Chicago almost cxclu-
siyely. Grant county alone, for in
stance, produces annually one mil

King-Hazelton.

AS the case of King VS.. Hazelton
will be decided by the next Con
gress and as the Democrats will
have quite large majority in that
body when it assemblies, Mr.. Haz-
elton's friends are sorely troubled
and sad ut heart. They remember
well on what slim pretexts Demo-
Gratis were fired out, and their seats
given to Republicans when Congress
was controlled by radicals, and
reason, we suppose that if such
things were done by the party Of
great moral ideas, nothing better
can be expected Of any other party.
The Prairie du Chen Union thus
bewails The sad fate Of its cham
pion:
"Owen King has completed his
notice of contest for the seat in the
House of Representatives, and has
doubtless served u copy thereof on
Mr.. Hyeiton by this time. The

picion. This was true Of tho House
of Commons in the latter part of
the last century. In fact the injus-

tions became 50 fragrant tina tibet
the people demanded, and forced
parliament to constitute, d tribunal
for the determination Of these ques-
lions. The excitement Of the times
led party feeling to such pitch
that the merits of the contest were
not inquired into ut all The same

and was as true Of il when it was
under the control OF the Republic

recall case i'll which Democratic

in which II Republican contestant
failed to obtain what he sought. LII

honsible policy. II Mr.. King is
