We should like to have a plain and
simple statement from some OF the
Republican orators in the present campaign
of the reasons for referring to the Hon.
E. l. Martin, Representative in Congress
from this State in the scornfuly con-
temptuous manner they assume. Col.
Martin has served two years in Congress,
and we have watched his career with as
much interest as any of these gentlemen
have been likely to show, and we do not
know of single act or word which
justihes such tone and such
expressions concerning him as marked
the recent speech of Mr.. Higgins. He
has been an active worker in committee,
he has the respect of his fellow IN EN- bers
and he has been prompt and courteous in
attention to the requests of his constitu-
ents. His position and influence in the
House will certainly compare favorably to
say the least, with that secured by Mr..
Lotiand the only representative of
MT. higgins party sent TO that BODY from
this State for long time.
We have no desire to say any thing harsh
of Col Martins opponent in the present
contest, but We doubt very much IL Judge
Houston would cut Al respectable figure
using the word in its old sense Of
respect-inspiriug-as his opponent does il
tue Ho Sc. 1t will be seen We are not making
any exalted claims for Colonel Martin
We are not laudinp him in campaign
style as something wonderful We ar,
simply setting forth the actual facts abou
INN and showing him to be
what he is, man of fair abilitis
and considerable force, in position h.
fills with dignity and with credit and use
fulness to his constituents. He has
right to decent treatment and fair criticism
az the hands of every Deiawarean, and tn
attempt to treat him as an object of cor
tempt by one who has achieved no NOR
. than MIR. Higgins is an exhibition of YER
, preposterous self-conceit and i'll m amer
!, which deprlyes the person making it G

They Do Not Scare.

The Nation, which. itappears to US. has
itself taken to some extent hand in the
game, says "The Republican plan of
" soaring the business men SEEING hardly
successful, as the fears of business men
''show themselves unerringly in the stock
"market, which gives no sign, whatever,
''of depression or foreboding; and, in
'fact the accounts from all branches OF
business indicate that the country is, for
''all political purposes, insensible to fear.
60 The election over, particularly
''if there is no danger of disputed count,
I'VE shall probably see the business man
Escaping from the political committees
ito indulge in the widest excuses OF
confidence in the future OF his country
whether under Hancock or Garfield "
This is plain statement of the truth
from paper which, while urging the
election of General Garfield. is unwilling
to deliberately commit itself to the pre-.
posterous statement that the continuance
of Americas marvellous material pros
perity depends on anything 10 uncertain
as the indefinite continuance of single
political party in power. The recent
attempt in Philadelphia to create
such an impression WAS trans
parent partisan trick, and the

Leans who happened to be engaged in
business and was in the interests of the
Republican party rather than of business.
Of course, many of these gentlemen
honestly believe that the continuance of
of the Republican party in power is
essential to the continuance of prosperity,
Just as others have seemed to believe that
the Republican administration of Mr..
Hayes gave us the grain and
of trade in our favor; but
We believe they were equally ardent Re-
publicans in the dark years following the
panic, when the balance of trade was
against us, and we do not remember thai
any of them, on account of that condition
of affairs proposed to drive the Republi
can party out of power. Yet, il they ar,
now right in attributing the prosperity o.
the country to the Republican party
possession of the Presidency, they ough
to have held it much more responsible TO
the terrible depression which came abou
while it had possession of all branches o
the Government. Yet the fact is, the.
talked then very much as they do now, o
the danger of permitting the Democrats Il
come into power.
