been had in the matter, the resignation
Of Mr.. SourbeCk was submitted and &C.

at once to the appointment of William

term, and he was duly qualified and
sworn, and entered upon the duties oi

The big Republican majority in Phila-
delphia is partly accounted for by the
arrest and confession of Alexander Mac
kinzie, one of the many repeaters who
were active in voting early and often.
A young man named John Ryan saw
Mackinzie vote the Republican ticket
under the name of Capt. Boom. Capt.
Boom being absent on voyage to Japan.
Ryan compelled Mackenzie to accom-
pany him toward a police station. A
man named Nixon, who had bribed
Msckinzie to repeat, called the police,
and the sworn guardians of the law lib
Grated the repeater, assaulted Ryan, and
locked him up on a charge of drunken
ness. Ryan was liberated the following
morning, and he at once caused the ar
rest of Mackenzie, Nixon, and the four
police who had assaulted him, The af.
fair having become public, the magis-
trate before whom the complaints were
brought, was compelled to give full
hearing. Mackinzie, who seemed to be
more weak minded than wicked, made
full confession of the matter, in spite
of his counsel and the Court, who SEEM
ed anxious to have him keep his mouth
shut. He said Nixon had given him a
dollar, and had led him around from one
polling place to another, and that he vo.
ted the Republican ticket eight times al
together. Nixon was held in 81 900 bail,
and MaCkinze $500.

HARPER's Weekly of last week depre'
Gates "the un-American and mischievous

lne foregoing is the talk of an emf
nent Republican journal, after the result
of the elections for this year are known.
The question asked is serious one. The
controlling Republican leaders demand a
"strong government"--stronger than the
Constitution contemplates, and hence
demand "a man" stronger than the Con-
stitution. As we said last week, the de.
sign is revolutionary-a scheme to over
throw our whole system of government
by the people, for the people, and to es.
tablish in power an irresponsible mon.
eyed oligarChy, and control the country
by minority.

Our Mayor, a short time since, had
the police arrest and bring before him
some spiritual exhibitors, who gave an
entertainment and charged therefor, on
Sunday. The Mayors rule, if we re-
member, was, that entertainments, lee
lures, &C., on Sunday, for the purpose Of
gain, were contrary to the law, and that
he would enforce the law in all such ca
ses. He did in the case referred to. But
in the case of Ingersoll last Sunday ev-
ening, in which case the admission was
so and rs cents, nothing has been done.
Is it because Mr.. Ingersoll is a promi-
nent Republican politician; and hence
may defy the lawH Is this the way law
is dispensed with in Canton, under the
rule of the present Republican Mayor ?
We merely wish to know how it is.

A VISITING reporter of the Boston
Globe afirms that he has now in his
possession letter from Blaine, and over
his signature, running thus:
"See every man in your district, and
find out how he is going to vote, II he
is a Republican and weakened, see
what will strengthen him. II he is Q
Democrat or Greenbacker, see what will
induce him to vote with US. Make up
statement of the amount of money that
you will need for all expenses, and for
ward at once"
This is nice for Senator of the United
States; but one may expect as much from
the hero of the Mulligan letters.

ALMOST the entire increase Of the Ma
tional Bank circulation, which has been
very large Of late, has been Id the East
ern States. During the hard times, after
the panic of 1873. the National Bank
circulation fell off very rapidly, deCreas'
ing as much as fifty millions from Jan.
1, 1874, to Jan. /, 1878. About the COM
mencement of last year the tendency
changed, and the original circulation be-
gan gradually to be restored. In July
last the increase became more rapid and
in September and October just closed, it
has been unprecedented, reaching the
enormous sum of seven and a half mil
lions during the two months. The in
crease for the year, ending OCT. 81, 1879,
has been fifteen millions, One-haf which
it will be seen was made in the last two
months. How long this movement will
continue is uncertain. There is no prec-
edent for it, and it will depend altogeth-
er upon the marketable value of money.
1t is also remarkable fact that the in
crease in the Western States, from which
the cry of more money" has come, has
been merely nominal, The increase of
the last two months was distributed as
follows: New ENGLAND States So 800 900,
Middle States 81, 100000 Southern States
$40000 Western States $3.50 000 Pacific
States 5000, ,000 total, $7,500000, OF the
increase in the New England States, S.
450 600 is credited to Massachusetts,; and
of the Middle States, 81 800, 900 is credit
ed to New York. The bulk of National
Bank circulation is now issued in East
ern States, the Massachusetts Banks
having two fifths of it all, and this rapid
increase will, of course, increase that
proportion. Ohio Liberal

HIGH TRIBUTE TO THE VITALITY
AND COURAGE OF THE DEMO
CRATIC PARTY.

CRATIC PARTY.
We are never more impressed with
the wonderful vitality and rugged power
ofthe Democratic party than in the days
of Its defeat. The surprise is not in the
election of Tuesday last that the Ohio
Democrats, burdened as they were, suf-
fered defeat, but that they were able to
exhibit such strength and courage. Sure
ly there never was more unkindness
shown party in preparing 1t for combat.
The issues were awful, yet under cirCum-
stances-such that it ought to be mat
ter of surprise that there is Democratic
vote to each Ohio township-the old
party comes out grim as an army Of vet
Grams, and fights to the bitter end, in
the spirit of the soldiers of Russia, Of
whom it is said it is not sufficient to kill
them, they must be knocked down after
they are dead. Now, we are able to re-
ioiCe that this surprising host was dis
om6ted-beaten few per cent in a pro
digious vote, and we know that under
the gloom of their defeat there may be
disappointment and resentment, but not
encouragement. On the next occasion
they will turn out again with full ranks.

sRN NAroR. ALLEN g. THURMAN.


SENATOR. ALLEN G. THURMAN.
Every good citizen, in or out Of Ohio,
must admit the loss to the country and
to the State, in the retiring Of Senator
Thurman.
He has been regarded for years as the
great legal Democratic mind in the SEN
ate Of the United States; and he has
been equally distinguished for high in
tegrity rs for ability, This estimation
of Senator Ehngman isnot confined to
his own ri but is freely accorded by
the otherHide
The United States Supreme Court re-
Gently rendered decision upon the Con-
stitutionality Of the act of Congress, to
compel the Pacific railway companies tc
pay according to their agreement with
the Government. The enforcement o.
this measure will prevent swindle OF
hundred millions or 30. The arrange
ments were all made to perpetrate the
swindle, and these companies for years
had failed to comply with their part o.
the contract; and their friends in Con
gress seemed quite willing that another
Credit Mobilier operation should inurC
to the benefit of the monopolists.
II was under this state Of things thai
Senator Thurman prepared, with grea
care and labor, his bill to meet the case
and save the People from being swind
led again. The bill passed Congress ant
became a law; but the railway compa
MES having had their own way, resisted
the enforcement of the law, and thus thu
case got into the courts.
The recent decision in the Supreme
Court is vindication of Senator Thur
man, and high tribute to his eminen
legal ability. The people Of the Countr!
owe a debt of gratitude to Senate
Thurman and the people of Ohio shoulC
have honored the claim by continuing
him in the Senate, where he has PROVED
so useful to the country.
The N. Y. Sun, in an able article, make
the statement that Jay Gould, Hunting
ton & Co., of the Pacific railways, con
tributed largely, by sums ofmoney, to tn
late Republican victory in Ohio, ant
hence to the defeat of Senator Thurman
for reelection.
1t would seem that these schemers di
reCted their special efforts to the defea
of Democratic members of the Legisla
ture in close counties. From their rail
way monopoly power, and by liberia
expenditure of money, they no doub
contributed largely to Democratic defea
in Ohio. May this not account for Dem
ocratiC defeat in Stark CountyP May
this not account, in a measure, for thC
Republican majority at AllianceP
These railway magnates, emboldened
by their previous success, in manipulat
ing the Government, securing monopoly
favors, land and money grants, besides
Credit Mobilier swindles, aim to crush
any honest statesman who dares tc
stand up for justice, and prevent the rob-
berry of the People. 1t is to be hoped
that the Thurman law, sustained as il
has been by the United States Supreme
Court, will be enforced, and compel obe
dienCe to the terms Of the contract, and
thus prevent more swindling.
