Try 1T AND SEE.-We all know that the ten
dency of very long lease of power to any one
party is to promote the pride of place and to en-
gender corruption.
The Republicans have now been so long in au-
thority that they seem almost to believe that
they possess kind of divine right to rule.
As to the corruptions of the several depart
ments, we may reasonably conclude fiom what
one investigation after another discoses that the
aggregate amount must be something enor-
nous.
Why not, then, try and see what change of
men in power, from the President down, will eff
feet?
1t must, almost necessarily, result in very
large saving in the expenses of the Government
and in the taxes upon the people.
The weight of the taxes Is heavy.
Shall it be lightenedy
Yes 1t ought to be.
How can it be done?
Elect Hancock and try the experiment, and
let us see what the result will be.-N Y, SIN.

Judge Black and General Garfield.

Judge Black and General Garfield though
differing in politics, were once and perhaps
are yet warm personal friends. They are
members of the same church-Discples of
Christ-and their intercourse has been of
such character rs to make each overlook
and ready to excuse the faults of the other
In 1878, when Il committee of Congress was
engaged in investigating the Credit Mobilier
transaction, in which General Garfield, Schuy-
Ter ColfaX and other prominent Republican
leaders figured, Judge Black wrote letter in
which he said that although Gen. Garfield
may have accepted the shares of Credit Mo-
bilier stock from Cakes Ames-whch were
given to influence legislation in favor of the
Union Pacific Railroad-yct he knew Mr.
Garfield well, and was satisfied that his mo-
evil intent.
Judge Blacks letter has been freely quoted
by Republican journals as Democratic testi
mony in behalf of their candidate, and was
supposed to wipe out some of the stains of
Garfield's public record.
Inc erect OF tnat letter has been entirely
overcome by n more recent one from the
Judge. In a private letter to the editor of
the Philadelphia Times, written in Paris
June 2Sth, Judge Black says:
your expressed determination to see that
General Garfield shall be defended against all
unjust aspersions upon his personal character
is equally pleasant reading to me, for have

In Mower county where it was claimed
he had the most opposition, and where
the Page bogus delegation was born,
Dunnell received nearly three times as
III any votes as Ward. And now, when we
look for some solution TO Wards lng|o-
rious defeat, it is found in the manner in
which MIR. Dunnell's campaign was con-
Quoted. Dunneil made his speeches
largely for the good of the party, and did
not spend his time in personal abuse Of
his opponents. This course had dignity
and force which carried more weight
than all the opposition's bitter invective,
and won for him at the polls hearty in.

unvarnished light OF the figures, however,
see the utter annihilatlon Of all these
puerile pretentions. Mower county, the
home Of Sherman Page, the boss organi-
zcr Of the whole rebellion, gives Dunnell
1850 votes, and Ward SAP. Faribault, the
home Of Wakefield, Sim. Childs and Hol-
ley, the latter the committeeman manipu-
la,or Of the Ward campaign, gives Dun
nell 1855 votes, Ward STA. Blue Earth,
the home of J. II. Baker, the grandilo-
quent bloviator of the pool, gave Dunnell
,812 votes, and Ward 866. Dodge, the
home ef Edgerton the candidate and Sha.
YER the decapitated postmaster, gave Dun
nell 1,042 votes, and Ward 656. Fillmore,
the abiding place Of Bassett, gave Dunnell
2,818 vo ties, and Ward 5O4. Jackson, tho
home of Chamberlain, the disgrrntled
publisher of the Republic, gave Dunnell
sos and Ward 149. Houston, which was
claimed 10 be "all tore up'' with lndiigna-
ton at the course of Dunnell, gave that
gentleman 1850 votes and Ward 259. In
these eight counties, from which we had
reason to expect eight separate and dis
tinct booms for Ward, his total vote was
4, 246, against 12,0S0 for Dunnell. In the
very homes Of the conspira,ors, then, it
will be seen that Dunnell received nearly
three votes to Wards one. Adding the
vote in Wards own county, Ohe only one
in the nineteen that he carried), aud the
total is 1854 for Dunnell, against 5,6l2
for Ward. These figures, let it be remem-
bercd, are confined to the counties in
which the chief engineers of this bolt
resided. Taking in the whole district the
vote will vary little from 7,174 for Ward
and 81 1863 for. Dunnel]. We make no
comment on these figures, save to recall
to the minds of the voters who listened to
their harangues, the figures given by the
eloquent boilers themselves, Of the vote
