Both political parties are at variance
in their own ranks upon certain matters
Of public policy, and notably upon
questions Of currency and finance. But
there are definite issues upon which
both parties are units and these issues
are vital in the coming National cam
paign. The Democrats in the States
whose elections are to have greater
o1less bearing upon the National cleo
NON should carefully weigh their duty
in the matter. The best financial laws
in the world, the most sagacious plan
of paying National debts and providing
National currency that ever was de-
viscd. will not keep this Nation togeth-
er IL the principles upon which II was
founded, are to lose their inspiration
and guiding force. In the hands of the
Republicans that will be their fate. II
there was any tendency at the beginning
Of the present Administration to concili-
ate the people with policy as nearly a.
possible like that which the rightfully-
elected candidate would have adopted
had he been allowed to take his seat,
that brief spasm of virtue no longer
controls the councils OF the Republican
party. 1t has relapsed utterly in every
part, and will be more merciless, ar
bitrary and INSCRIPTIONS than ever,
from the fact that some of its promi-
nent members were at one time almost
persuaded to repent and do better. The
leayen, to begin with, was too small,
and what there was il now lost. There
issnd saving grace left. The party =
joined to It's idols by bands Of steel
.-which repel all the efforts Of virtne and
onughtenment- The Democrats have
I q oppose solid front Of political
efo;d. tyranny, bigotry and hypocrisy.
'ssnd-it is their duty to consolidate all
I TIL strength against those dangers.
.leaving the secondary questions Of the
hour to be settled later. They can wait
till this evil menace is dispelled. Boo

The investigation n Cincinnati. BY .
House committee. into the Congress
sional election in thft city in 1878, has
already shown pretty plainly that the
appointment Of special deputy Mar
sfisls To look after that election was
simply for the purpose d assisting the
Republican party. The Marshal. who
made the appointments admitted on
the stand that IL he selected . Demo
crat it was by mistake, and Il was
shown by abundant testimony that the
names Of the appointees were kept
secret. The man who had charge Of
the special deputies admitted that
none were placed in the strongest Re
publican precincts Of the city, but that
q large force was sent TO nearly every
strong Democratic precinct IL was
further shown that, contrary TO law.
deputies were assigned to wards and
precincts in which they did not reside,
and that considerable number Of
them were persons whose past career
was not well calculated to fit them for
an honest discharge Of their duties.
In addition to the admitted PARTISAN
ship which was the first qualification
required, il appears that II special
deputy had :. killed his man." that
fact in no way initiated against his
appointment. The evidence shows
that AZ least three Of the special depu-
ties had been accused Of homicide,
and that two, at least, were guilty.
How many there we're who had been
guilty IF other crimes of violence
does not yet appear; but with two
or three man-killers at the head, the
probability Is that the number was
large.
This is the class Of men whose duty
it was to guard the purity OF the bal
lot-box' in strong Democratic pre-
cincts, leaving the strong Republican
precincts to get along without such
protection. A force Of plug uglies
under Republican partisan control was
mustered for duty on election day; and
he is a simple citizen indeed Who be-
lieyes that the purpose which actuated
their selection was desire to secure .
! fair election. A better class Of agents
would have been selected if there had
been an honest purpose to faithfully
execute the provisions OF q bad law.
The Republicans would appreciate the
situation a great deal better il at every
Republican precinct there had been
from four % ten Democratic special
deputies, selected for their unscrupu-
lousness, armed with large powers and
paid for by the people; especially il
there were no Republican deputies at
Democratic precincts. No voices would
be raised more loudly than theirs
against the outrageous character 81
such a proceeding. but it would be no
more than the outrage TO which the
Democrats of Cincinnati were sub
jected. Detroit Free Press.

Just At this time the Republicans are
vociferously asserting that ''this ID
Nation" One Republican state con-
yention started the cry. another caught
II up, and il Is now running along the
whole line. The corollary 70 ''this Is .
Nation" is, as the Pennsylvania Re-
publicans express IL, that 1.-THE election
Of Congressman and Presidential Elec-
tors ID subject TO tile N RATIONAL CONTROL"
or. as the Wisconsin Republicans put
II. that ..the elections Of members Of
Congress are National elections" and
il is the duty of the National Govern
ment TO supervise them.
We do not presume TO take issue with
the Republicans on this Nationality
matter, and to deny this Is . Nation;
but we desire TO call the attention Of
that amiable party 70 an occasion on
which they themselves held that this Is
not Nation. DO they remember the
Presidential election OF 1876, and the
dispute that followed Ii? They would
like to forget II. but they canrot, for It
was only three years ago. At that cleo
ton their Presidential cadidate was
beaten, and the Democratic candidate
elected. When the fact was discovered
they suddenly forgot their Nationality
doctrine and became furious ch ampions
OF State-rights. Nationality would not
serve them in the work they proposed,
for the Nation had by majority Of
257 900 votes. declared for Tilden and
Hendricks. But they got round this
by first suborning the mercenary
Returning Boards of Louisiana
and Florida to falsify the result in those
States. and then organizing an Electoral
Commission TO solemnly decide that
Presidential electors are State officers,
the elections for them are State cleo
tons, and the National Government has
no authority TO go behind the returns
Of them and review the action of q
State Returning Board. to doth is would
be an unwarrantable invasion of State
rights. The State Returning Board
might falsisy the result: they might
certify fraud instead Of the fact; they
might send in the names cf the de-
feafed candidates fol electors, instead
llof the names of those who were really
chosen, and thus inilict a wrong, not
only on the people of their State, but
uHtn tut "Aott fStttt Va 49, SAAse>&
States. No matter; there was no
remedy for such a wrong; fraud
committed BY State Returning Board
must be allowed TO stand. for there was
no authority in the National Govern
ment to undo Il,
This was the Republican doctrine in
! 1877, and on it they made Mr.. Hayes
J President. In fact. all the Nationality
\ cosideration in the electoral dispute Of
1877 was on the side Of Tilden, and the
only basis for his opponent 5 claim was
wretched peryersion Of the State
rights doctrine
DO the Republican leaders imagine
the people have no memories? DO they
f1atter themselves that the country
4 has forgotten the enormous fraud they
committed behind the mask Of State
rights in 1877, and that it can be be
y guiled by their present affectation o
