A THEORY WANTED.

There is theory demanded for General
Garfield's continuous streak of good luck
in holding the positions of a Congress
man, United States Senator and President
elect. 1t can possibly be accounted for
on the theory as set forth by Twain or SEINE
kindred spirit in the sketch of THE Bad
Boy" The latter leased ALL the cats and
worried all the dogs of the village; grew up
bad" was in all kinds of mischief and
went out into life with sort of social mark
of Cain upon him; yet he returned to his
native village to receive all the honorS and
emoluments within its power TO bestow.

ering almost his entire political record-yet,
contraryto all theSunday school literature of
the day and the moral teachings of the pull
pit, we find him loaded down with the
choicest gifts that the.Republican party have
to bestow.
How long can any country stand up under
such demoralizing programme?
A record that in the better days of
the Republic would have consigned Mr..
Garfield 20 utter political annihi lation

infamous sentiment which they express, are
all sunken out OF sight by the debauched and
beSotted public opinion created by the sue
cess of General Garfield at the polls. ~
The humiliating spectacle has been
recently witnessed in this city
of prominent Republicans wearing the
badge of General Gar6eld's infamy

chalking the sign of degradation upoE their
own and their neighbors clothing A joke
it is called. Verify, a very CHASTITY joke.
The times are sadly out of joint when pO-

over, is thus glorified, and the being re-
sponsible for that record elevated to the
most prominent position among great,
proud and chivalrous people. al

The Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

RICHMOND, Ind, NOy S.-That the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, through its Indiana cor
respondents, did the Democratic cause in this
State vast injury, is the general opinion of
Democrats of this section. If "Jayhawker''
had been employed by the Republican
party to labor in its behalf and against the
Democracy of the State, he could not have
done more effectual work. He mIsrepre-
scented and slurred the prominent and lead
ing Democrats of the State, and all his let
tiers showed design to create dis
cord if possible among those
who were managing the campaign,
and to give in every way he could, through
his letters, the influence of that largely cir
culated and professedly Democratic paper

of a political character hc sent to the En-
quirer was Inisrepresented to favor the Re-
publican side. One case OF many may be
stated In August a Democratic meeting
was held ut the village of Washington, ten
miles northwest of this city. which was at
tended by one of the uniformed Democratic
Clubs of this city. Some Republican,
roughs, whites and negroes, got up a dis
turbance, and two or three shots were fired
evidently aimed at persons in the process
sion. These shots missed their aim; one killed
Republican who was standing on the OPP
posite side of the street from where the shot
was fired, witnessing the procession, and an
other shot took effect in the foot OF Demo-
crat who was Standing near the man who
was killed. The Enquirer correspondent
in his Dispatcher attempted to make the
impression that theIshots were fired by men

was based upon this idea. Republican
newspapers made the fight against Grant on
that line. They charged it openly and above

THE INSANE.

Those of our readers who desire to be in
possession of correct informationaw with re-
gard to the management OF the State Insane
Asylum, and the condition Of its unfortu-
nate inmates, particularly the women,
should give Mrs George Merritt's exhaustive
paper upon the subject. which we
print to-day, careful perusal IN
calling attention to Mrs. Alerritts
communication it is not required that we
should refer particularly to each topic she.
so intelligently discusses, She writes with
entire candor; she deals with conditions as
they have, for number of years, come
under her observation, and it is gratifying
to note that in the estimation of a LADY,,
whose opportunities for observation and for
comparing notes has been extensive,
finds so much to approve in
the Indiana institution She has
found the officials always courteous and
ready to give information, and she has found
the inmates properly cared form all re-

prove a source of great comfort to those
whose friends and relations are the subject
of its discipline. as also to the public gener-
ally. 1t viii be noticed that Mrs Merritt
makes a strong appeal to the people Of the
State to find some way by which the man
agement of the asylum shall not be Changed
with every change in the parties in control
of the State Government, and the reasonsshe
urges relate entirely to the welfare of the
insane who seek relief from their terrible
malady by placing themselves under its dis
cipline.

harm possible done by its Republican CORE
spondents, the Enquirer conplacentfy SAYS
IA its issue of Friday last: But there are a
few people who object to the Enquirer's
correspondents. 1t is notably not
complained that these g correspond
dents have not told the truth" That is
exactly what the Democrats of this portion
OF Indiana do complain of-that the En-
quirer's correspondents, 50 far as Indiana is
concerned, did not tell the truth, but that
they, as q general thing, falsified and
misrepresented matters TO the injury of the
Democrats. "Jayhawkpr' had an article in
the Enquirer on the Wednesday previous TO
the November election, in which he at
tempted to prove that the Republican vote
at the October election was an honest one.
and was not too large, as charged. The way
he did this was to refer to an enumeration
of the voters made in 1877 "Jay-
hawker' said that this enumeration
was for poll-tax purposes, and that,
taking the number OF voters who
were not liable to pay poll-taxes, the num-
Der of voters would be largely increased
over 451 900, which was the number enum-
Grated. The truth was that the enumem-
ton referred 10 had nothing whatever 10 do
with persons who pay poll-taX, but was an
enumeration of all the voters of twenty-one
years of age and upward, and was taken as
basis for apportioning representation in
the Legislature. The gross mlsrepreSenta-
tions of the Enquirer correspondent in ref
erence to this enumeration was brought to
the attention of the Enquirer, but the cor
rection was never made. This is only one
instance of false statements to cover up
Republican dishonesty. There were many
similar ones during the campaign. The
complaintOf Democrats is that the Enquirer
correspondents lied, and not that they told
the truth. The Enquirer speaks of having
given the Democratic party faith and hope
in its editorial columns. The Enquirer did
occasionally have good editorial; but these
were but a poor offset TO the stuff it pub
lished from its correspondents.
The Democrats of Indiana have extended
to the Enquirer a liberal patronage in the
past, and it has done the Democratic cause
more injury in the late campaign than all
the Republican papers of Cincinnati COM
bined. If Democrats continue the same
liberal patronage in the future it will GER
tainly not be to their credit.

THE New York Sun does not hesitate to
believe that General Garfield has given to
Senator Conllling aiwritten agreement as to
his course as President, which viii compel
him to follow the behest of conkling and
Grant" The ST. Louis Republican says it
does not believe that any agreement in
writing exists. because General Garfield
''has always been credited with fair share
of sense, and no man in his position with
the smallest grain of sense would put such
a club in the hands Of his enemies.p Still,
the Republican must confess that General
Garfield in his, time has been guilty of sew
eral transactions indicating far less sense
than to make an agreement with Conkling
to do his bidding H. ~ ~

THE fight for the Indiana Senatorship
wakes hotter and hotter as the days come

OF this amount Indiana is credited with
43, 900, 900 bushels; Ohio, $4,000, 900 bushels,
and Minnesota with 1920 600 bushels. On
the whole, says the authority from which We
quote, we are led to place the needs of the
country for food, seed, etc, at 265, 900, 900
bushels, and on this basis there will be left
a margin of 100, 724 900 bushels for export to
supply the demands of foreign countries.
The paramount question both to producers
and dealers, when once knowledge Of the
home yield has been gained, relates, of
course, to the foreign needs. Early in the
season, when exaggerated estimates of the
wheat crop gained wide acceptance. belief
was entertained that the surplus of wheat
would be very largely in excess OF any de-
mand likely to arise. From the present
outlook there is no good reason to appre-
bend that the American farmer will not be
able to realize a fair price.
