The serene confidence of the Maine
Fusionists that General Plaisted will get
the Office if he has been elected rests up
on the knowledge that Republican
governor will do the counting. The
Republican party, as Mr.. Blaine sug-
gests, has the moral courage To count
itself out of Office
| The Democratic committee at Wash
ington has news that for ten days past
Mr.. English in Indiaaa has taken it up
on himself TO ignore the advice ofall the
state leaders with whom he has been as
soceated. He has also made the differ
ences which have risen an excuse for
tightly closing his pocket-book.

south and secession, says: ave believe,

The failure of the Democrats in Indi-
ana 10 buy off the Greenback candidates
has resulted in the adoption of new
plan, which is 10 import into the state

expense of the Democratic campaign
fund, and inaugurate vigorous cam
paign for the purpose of consolidating
and holding the Greenback vote.
There is a good deal of solid work to
be done by the Republicans of Lyon
county between this and November, and
the sooner they put their shoulders to the
wheel the better. If the Republicans
play while the Fusionists work, the
former may have more political leisure |
after the first Tuesday in November than |
they will know what to do with. Get on |
the harness.
SThe meeting to consider the expedien-
cy of putting n state fusion ticket in the

The unhappy. second congressional
district of Kansas is just now being raw
aged by Sid. Clarke, F. l.. Green, Doc.
Struggled and Judge Vrooman, all of
whom seem to have united in a malevo-
lent Oratorical onslaught upon that de-
voted section. How times are changed |
Why, in the good old Bible days, it was
considered n violation of natural law for
an ass to open his mouth and speak.
The result of an investigation of the
financial condition of the solid south, |
shows that the state debts repudiated |
south Of Mason and Dixon's line, reaches |
the appalling aggregate of $l59, 900 900. |
The catch-phrase in the Democratic plat. |
form touching ''the maintenance of the |
public credit-both state and NATIONAL" |
was evidently intended to be interpreted |
in its Pickwickian sense.
In Ohio, the other day, colored man
was knocked down and killed by stone |
because he hurrahed for Garfield while |
a Democratic procession was passing, |
and party journal, in speaking of the |
affair. employed the following playful
headlines: "a black Republican has |
his wool combed ard won't yell any
more for Garfield" The upper air and |
solar walk Democracy" seems to be
forging ahead in the old Buckeye state.
Doc. Mumford thinks that Republi-
cans should be discouraged as much as
possible this year. Now, if he possesses
that measure of devotion to his party |
which is equal 10 u great personal sacri- |

Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky, is firing |
the Democratic heart of Ohio with his |
feryid patriotism and towering elo- |
quence. Joe is the noble Bourbon who |
pledged the Democratic party "to wipe |
out every vestige of war legislation from |
the statute books" in a speech which he |
make during the extra session of the |
forty-sixth congress. 1t is a source of |
comfort TO reflect that if Wade Hamp-
ton is not to be permitted to come north |
to plead for the principles for which Lee |
and jackson fought, Kentucky has
furnished an excellent substitute.
Tom Ewing, of Ohio, has been invited |
and will probably speak in the second |
Kansas district, in th9 interest of the |
succulent Captain L. 4, Green, whose
rare verdancy is reflected in his name,
and the serene conf fence which he is |
said to cherish of be biting bud Haskell |
in the congressional face this fall. Tom
is just the kind of financial straddle-
bug to import to Kansas at this stage of
the fusion fever, and his views on the |
currency question are sufficiently fiexi-
BILE to meet the exigencics of the delicate
situation in which the Kansas Democ-
racy now find themselves placed.
