A REMARKABLE case of crawfishing

A REMARKABLE case of crawfshing is
that of the democrats in congress who
have finally been compelled to vote in
favor of bill to pay the q. S. marshals
for services under the congressional cleo
ton law. For months they stood out
through the extra session in opposition to
the measure and threatened to starve the
government. They denounced the law
as unconstitutional and declared they
would never vote dollar to carry out its
provisions. Since the decision of the
supreme court affirming its legality, the
Democrats have thought better of TIE
matter, and while some of them denounce
the court as partisan and its decision as
wrong, the majority have voted in favor
Of making the necessary appropriation
under the law 1t is bitter pill for them
but they have had to swallow it never
theless.

CITY PRINTING.

The Democrat of last week announced
il short paragraph that it shall have
nothing more to say in relation to the
city printing. This was very sensible
conclusion to come to for the simple rea-
son that it can advance nothing on the
subject which would have the least
weight with the tax-paying portion of
the community. 1t has evidently got
sick of dishing up to its readers that old
story which it has repeated so often, that
Watertown is a democratic city, and
ought therefore to contribute several
hundred dollars annually from the public
treasury towards the support of its demo-
cratic organs. 1t may be that a few
politicians are in favor of this, but the
citizens at large, democrat or republican,
have no desire to devote any of the pub
lie funds to this purpose. We trust that
the board of street commissi oners will
put stop to this misappropriation of the
peoples money, by advertising for con :
petitive bids, which will be the means of
forcing the new council to consider other
bids than the one made by the organ Of
the democratic party. The present board
can save WATERFOWL 5000 at least on its
printing bill next year, if it is so inclin-
ed. Ought it not do it, citizens of Water
town? Who will say no?

The democratic committee on privi-
ieges and elections in the Z. S. Senate
have reported in favor of unseat-
ing Kellogg, of Louisiana. 1t is doubtful
however, whether the action of the com
mittee will be sustained by the senate.
The question has once been decided, and
it is said that senator Davis and some
other opposition senators take the ground
that the action of the senate then must
be taken as settlement of the case. If
senator Kellogg is displaced it will be
one of the greatest outrages perpetrated
by the present congress, though
no worse than others which are to fol-
low, probably, in the unseating of Wash
burn and Orth, members of the lower
house, from Minnesota and Indiana,
whose seats are wanted to better es-
tablish democratic supremacy in con
gress

A RECENT number Of The Rock County
Republican announces itself in favor of
Hon. Hans B. Warner, the present genial
and popular Secretary of State, for the
next republican candidate for governor.
Other papers in the state have also men
toned the Secgetary's name in connec-
ton with the gubernatorial office. 1t is
early yet to say who will or who will not
be candidates but should Mr.. Warner
enter the field he has host of frienCs
who would pull off their coats for him.

THE two thirds rule, which has here
tofore prevailed in democratic national
conventions, is supposed to be antagonist
ic to the interests of Tilden, and it is
stated that an effort will be made by his
friends to abolish it. They think that
while Sammy may be able to obtain
majority of the votes in the convention
he may not be strong enough to carry
two thirds of them.

THE Democrat has at last been forced
to define its position on the city printing
business, and admit that the action of
the council was governed by political
and not legal considerations. Tt says:
We shall have no farther controversy with The
Republican about city printing, but shall ex-
pect that sheet to become the official paper, at
remunerative prices whenevera ajOrity of the
common council shall be of its political faith.
cognized mouthpiece of the democracy of this
city and county, we shall expect our friends to
stand by u.s. as opposed to the impudence and
trickery of The Republican.
We were not expecting so frank con-
fession as this from the spoils organ To
be consistent The Democrat ought to so
step farther and propose an amendment
to the city charter with a Ttitle something
Ike this: can act to enable the demo-
cratic common council of WATERFOWL to
award the city printing to democratic
papers at a cost three times greater than
the bid of The Watertown REPUBLICAN."
This change in the law would legalize
the steal and thus remove one of the OBJ
jections to the plan adopted last April.
Taxpayers, however, will find themselves
robbed of two or three hundred dollars

cunious neighbor

COLONEL FRED HECKER, one of the
leaders of the German-Americans of H.
linois, publishes letter in the Belleville
Republican, announcing that, while his
personal preference is for Washburne as
a Presidential candidate, he will cordial
ly support the Chicago nomination,
whether it be Grant, Blaine or Wash
burne. That is the right kind of talk
The republicanism of any man may well
be questioned who takes any Underground.
The rule or ruin policy is not the right
one. Majorities must govern in party
conventions as in elections. The Chica-
go convention will be composed of large
body of leading, influential and represen-
tative republicans. They will come to-
gether from all parts of the country for
consultation with view to determining
what is best to do. When a decision
shall have been reached-when candi-
dates shall have been fairly selected--it
is the duty of every republican to take off
his coat and go to work for the ticket.
Every one can not have his individual
preference gratifed. If he can secure
the nomination of his favorite, that is all
right, but if he cannot, he should fall in
to line and pull true exactly as he would
have wished others to do had they been
defeated and he successful in the candi-
dates of their choice.
