peach the patriotism of those men
that differ with me and hold that the
safety of the country is best pre-
served by the Republican party, but
wish them aud you to see where
that party would carry us should it
remain to power. BY force the war
was ended, and when it was ended a
reign of peace should have taken its
place; Tut love of power was there,
and unlike Washington and Han
cock, men were unwilling TO give it
up, and so there has been a struggle
between tile kindness and love Of
union of the American pep!e--their
disposition to forget and forgive-on
the one hand, and the desire of the
Republican party to maintain con-
troll by any means on the other hand.
See how they have centralized
power. We are all citizens of Della
ware and of the United States. Why
after the experience of one hundred
years, should we not be trusted to
conduct our own elections? / only
mention this as one of the steps the
Republicans took to MAINTAIN power.
In 1879 there were nearly 100000
more votes cast for the Democratic
than for the Republican candidate.
Not only was there popular major-
lily at the polls, but majority of
some twenty electoral votes. What
was done? The Cabinet at Washing
ton, controlled by the military spirit
of merely military man; man who
never laid down power willingly;
sent troops under a suggestion of the
Secretary of the Interior, the late
Mr.. Chandler, of Michigan, and he
had willing aid in NJ. Cameron, of
Pennsylvania, Secretary Of War;

A You've WIDoW.-A certain CEN
sus enumcrator of this city called
upon woman the other day, who
resides not far from the Capitol,
and pronounced the usual questions
as by law directed. The woman
said she was widow, her age was
twenty five and her husband died two
years ago. The faithful recorder,
on receiving the name of the woman's
deceased husband and his occupation
when alive, surrlited that he must
have been a relative, if not the same
Mr.. B, who was member of the
One Hundred and Seventy seventh
New York Volunteers during the
war. A conversation ensued, when
finally the enumerator innocently
asked if her husband was the same
Mr.. B who died during the war,
saying that be himself was mem.
Der of the same regiment, and that
he was well acquainted with the
man. The widow, in a modified
tone, replied: ooh, yes, but that was
a long time ago. The amusing
part of the affair is that the man has
been dead about seventeen years,
and if the woman is only twenty. five,
she became widow at the early age

Republican Logic"

columbus, O., Democrat.
1t was decided by the eight eminent Re-
publican jurists of the electoral commission
that the certificate is prima tacie evidence of
election, and that any evidence to show to
the contrary is aliunde. According to Re-
publican logic it is not even competent to
inquire how the holder of certificate came
by it. The fact that he has it ends the mat
ter, and he is entitled to act in accord
ance Herewith. This is "logic"
which the Republican party
has declared good and by virtue of which
the present occupant of the Presidential
chair holds his Office. We see no reason
why Legislature so composed cannot pass
valid statutes, just as well as President so
chosen can perform valid executive acts.
We are not arguing the question es to
whether this is Democratic logic or not, but
simply make the point that it is '.logic''
which Republicans have pronounced sound,
and would be pleased to know why it don't
apply just as well now as it did in the spring
of 1877,

"Around the World in Eighty Days."

The Opera House was crowded last evening
to witness the first production of the spectacu-
lar drama ''Around the World in Eighty Days"
by the Murray Metropolitan company. 1t was
a production that disappointed many, but the
disappointment was in finding it much supe-
rior to previous anticipations. The scenery
was the finest and most elaborate ever placed
on the Opera House stage, and aside from a
few bitches incidental to first nights in all
theaters worked to charm. The ballet was
excellent, and the acting throughout smooth
and satisfactory. All of the regular members
of tie company acquitted themselves with
great credit. The dancing was good and the
situations sensational in the highest degree.
We predict Tor the play long and successful
run. 1t will be repeated at the matinee this
afternoon and in the evening, and we are glad
to say that full houses are already assured.

A Pretty Kettle of Fish.

Indianapolis Journal-Rep.l
The difficulty about the whole Presidential
question as it is now being considered ap-
pears to be want of harmony-that is, to
find great and good man with whom all
the other great men harmonic. When you
get down to the bedrock you will find the
want Of harmony generally grows out of
selfshness and personal ambition. On the
Republican side We are told that Logan and
his friends will not allow Washburne's
name presented from Illinois, that Conkling
and his friends will not allow Blaine or any
one connected with the present administra-
ton to carry New York, while on the Dem
ocratic side it is claimed that Tildsn will not
allow Hendricks or any one who antagonizes
him to carry New York, and that Mr.. Hend-
ricks will not allow Tilden or Bayard to car
~ Indiana, and so on to the end of the
chapter. We have very decided impress
sion that men do not carry whole States in
their vest pockets, and that before tho
tickets of both parties are nominated some
great men will discover this to their great
surprise and discomfort.
