The bold Democrats of Washington
awoke Thursday morning to the real
ization that they had again played
1.-THE fool in the quadrennial farce call
ed the presidential election. The fool.
hardness ofthe unterrifed Democrat
is sublime. That he continues to
vote year after year with the faith of
a child and the persistence of sysa-
plus inspires either amusement or
awe; it depends entirely how you
look at it.
l notice that some Democrats are
felicitating themselves with the idea
that Garfield has been honestly
elected, and that the country will
mot, at least, be disgraced by a fraud.

Democrats will, | Hope, in the more

/ INTERVIEWED. Is any one SO simple as
to believe that, had Tilden had his
rights, Garfield would have been
electedH If then, Garfield owes his
succession to the fraud that seated
Hayes, is he not himself fraud?-
He is the protege of fraud, the lineal
decendent of all the political abomi-
nations of the centennial year. And
| if there is an American citizen who
can rest easily until the temple Of
the United States has been scourged
and secured of all that pestilence, SO
much the worse for the citizen and
for America.
Ofcourse we can do nothing now
but bide our time; we have come up
on evil days. Millionaires, stock.

office. holders, the party in power has
been able under the forms of law to
practically declare itself permanent,
and this is monarchy in all but the
name.
1t seems now that the Senate is Re
publican. Thurman goes out and
Kellogg comes in. Oh! the lowell
ness of Republican rule, where
craftsmanship must give way to
perJurers and thieves. G. AS.
The United States Senate now
stands 43 Democrats and SO Repub.
licans. The Republicans gain Sen
ators in Connecticut, Indiana, New
York, New Jersey, Ohio and Penn
sylvania-in all 6. The Democrats
gain Senators in Mississippi and
Nevada-in all 2. The Senate will
now stand 81 Republicans and 80
Democrats. California may send a
Democrat in place of Booth which
would increase our strength.
If it is true that by fraud, intimi.
dation and bribery the Republicans
have carried New York State, then
if we submit, that party by the same
criminal process, can overturn any
Democratic State in the Union, and
the voice Of the people is silenced
by corruption.
If Congress counts the Electoral
vote of New York, (which was carried
by fraud, it will deserve the denun-
citation of every honest voter in the
land who cast his ballot for General
Hancock.
1t is rumored that Jim Garfield is
going to adopt the Chinese costume,
pig-tail and all, and wear it on re-
ception and State days.
A good many people seem to think
that another Presidential election
will never be held in this country
It looks very much that way.
