Arysaasaw Etiquette.

Last night two men from Phila-
delphia, engaged in quarrel at hotel
in this city. After using all kinds of
epithets, one of the men thrust his
hand behind him as though about to
draw a pistol and then took it away.
The quarrel terminated without dam
age to either marty An old man from
South Arkansas shook back his long
hair and, advancing to the man who
had made the hip-pocket motion, re-
marked:
"Both of you men are strangers here,
reckon p
Eyes"
"Not acquainted with our little rules
of politeness?"
"How?"
"Why, you put your hand behind
you just now"
"Yes."
"You didn't pull gnn."
"1 haven't got a gun"
"Now, young man, let me give you
piece Of advice. While you are in
this country don't put your hand be-
hind you unless You intend to shoot.
Don't even run your hand into your
pocket for chaw OF tobacker. Don't
spit. Don't wink, for if you do your

YESTERDAY morning was cloudy, giving
indications of storm, but that was as moth
ing compared with the storm which was
raging in the ranks of the Republicans who
were 60 assemble in convention at neon to
nominate State ticket. The Merchants
hotel was, as on tho svening previous, the
center of attraction, and tho crowd surged
and yawped through the corridors all the
forenoon All kinds of work was being
put in. The memorable occasion when the
devil offered to dispose of large
amount Of real estate without fur
nishing an abstract of title, was
double discounted by the Republican gang
who were promising each other all the good
things of this world and the world to come,
while they all knew they were lying all the
time. The chief rumor Of the morning was
that Pllsbury and Baker had joined teams,
and the former was to be governor and the
latter lieutenant governor. There ia no
doubt this trade was agreed upon, and in
sccasdanee with this programme Bakers
ittle boom went in to help organize
the convention for Pillsbury. When it
eams H. nominations for Governor there was
no mention ct Baker, but still he didn't get
the Lieutenant Goyarnorship. He was sold
ont by the ring.
The only practical move OF the morning
was the agreement that J. V. DAM Is, of
Olmsted county, should be supported by the
pillsbnry gang for temporary chairman of
the convention, and that 8. p. Jennlson, of
Goodhue county, should be the nominee of

clouds outside lifted but the POLITICAL hori-
zon remained obscured and at few minutes
before twelve the seething, wrangling, jar
ring cEowd writhed itself out of the hotel
center and swarmed up to the Opera House:

The Supervisors Law.

The extra session Of Congress now at
hand bids fair to be the mostimportant ever
held. Party lines are closely drawn and
bitter and unrelenting contest is sure to
be made over the repeal of the obnoxious
Federal Supervisors law, That the DEM
ocrats will contend for it's repeal to the
end is foregone conclusion. There Will
be 10 compromise on this question, never
before were the democrats more soIldly
united. The republican press sends up
wall of distress and pretends to fear for the
sauctity of the ballot. This is all bum
cumbe. The real reason is because the
republican party managers know that II
this law is repealed, that success in 1880,
at best doubtful will then be impossible.
They know that republican victory can
not be fairly won. They know that the
party is loaded down with corruption,
fraud, bribery, and record as foul as ever
existed. What care the republican mana
gers for the purity of the ballot box. Why
x the object is to protect all impartially,
is the exercise of the law to be confined
only to democratic localities? Where were
all these pure minded howlers in 1876,
when the purity Of the ballot box was made
q farce by the electoral commission fraud,
which consummated the most gigantic
villainy ever perpetrated in a free coun-
try. Why did not these pious and
anxious mortals, these men who are such
Jealous guardians of the elective franchise
come to the front in 1876 and raise their
voices against the conspiracy that deprived
Tilden of his rights and seated Hayes 10
the face of the most glaring frauds. This
cry is not the result of sincere desire to
secure purity in elections. it is, on the con-
trary, a deliberately. agreed upon plan to
save the republican party, and the carpet
baggers and thieves who have grown fat
through its patronage.
If the enforcement of the law had the
effect its republican supporters claim, then
the democratic congress could do no more
injurious thing than enforce its repeal.
But it does not, nor will it ever do what
its letter intends. On the contrary, it is a
powerful political agent used purely to
further the Interests of one party. The
men appointed as supervisors
are generally selected because Of
their peculiar fitness to do dirty
work. Most Of them, as was the case in
New York, last fall, are from the very
scum of society, men who would hesitate
at nothing, if it held cut the hope of re-
ward. The supervisors law is black
spot in the statutes of this country, which
cannot be too soon eradicated. Let it be
repealed.
