WHAT MAY RESULT FROM At
TEMPTS TO INTERFERE WITH
FREE SUFFRAGE.
The Cincinnati Enquirer discussing the
Maine question, puts it down in this way;
"When the Court recognized those
questions so far as to answer them, it re-
cognized the questioneTs as Legisla-
ture. The Legislature-the Fusionists
could have obtained this recognition,
had it been deemed necessary, by sub
mitting questions to the Court not abso'
lutely material to the main issues. The
moment the Court recognized the right
of the questioners TO question, it recog-
ognized the Fusionist Legislature as the
legal Legislature of Maine. That being
done, its right to elect Governor could
not afterward be successfully disputed,
and nothing but superior force could
have theu installed Republican Cover
nor, q Republican Council and a Repub-
lican Legislature.
Civil war has decided and buried for
ever two questions that vexed American
for sixty years-slaVery and secession.
If the managers ofthe Republican party
will not submit to law, or equity. or vo
ters, or all combined, it may be that an
other question in this Republic must be
settled in blood-the question whether
suffrage and law; or fraud, shall prevail.
The manner in which the current Presi-
dency was taken is not forgotten. The
Republican leaders may prosecute Courts
even to their purposes, but not always.
The question next to be decided does
not concern only four millions of people,
it concerns more than forty millions. 1t
does not concern a few States, a section
only, it concerns thirty-eight States,
When the people find that the Consti-
tuition and laws are of no avail, and
that every peaceable effort is unavailing,
the next "unpleasantness" will not begin
in the South.

BRAwLER SHERMAN.

There is nc question Of veracity be-
tween Gen. Sherman and Gen. Boynton'
Gen. Sherman has no cause against Gen.
Boynton, save that he reviewed General
Sherman's published memoirs OF his do
ings in the war, and demonstrated by
the army record that they are untrue.
But this was done by the record, and is
a matter of positive proof. There stands
the book, and the review, and if any
thing in the review were untruei it should
be shown. But there is no question OF
the reviewers veracity. The case sim
ply is this: General Boynton's review
showed that Gen. Sherman's book is
untrue in claiming Gen, Grants plans are
his own. In this Gen. Boynton's review
had the Endorsement of General Grant,
through his most confidential military
secretary. He showedi it to be untrue in
exalting his own exploits. This is a
matter of record, and not OF personal
veracitv, The records are responsible,
and NIbD. NTIhUJ 10 IOppOhpAbAOe OuV
Gen, Sherman feels that the review has
hurt him, and he takes satisfaction by
exercising to newspaper an evil opin-
ion of Gen. Boynton. This is his an.
swer to a just review of his book. Yet
Generals who write books Of their own
military exploits must expect them to be
criticised. This can not be prevented
nor cured by expressing i'll opinions of
the reviewers. Finding that the editor
of newspaper, which had described his
book as ''self. puffery," wished to get him
TO speak i'll of Gen. Boynton, he sailed
In for satisfaction for his own hurt, by
expressing opinions of Gen. Bovnton,
such as ruffians and blackgusrds fling at
each other in their brswls. But this did
not make any question of veracity. 1t

coming an officer and gentleman"

ner. But he has only exposed his own
hurt, and has not hurt General Boynton.
Gen. Boynton needs not to vindicate
himself any more than he would from
the mad threats of street'brawler. The
army and Gen. Sherman need relief, not

A FACT should be remembered in this
Maine business, is, that the opponents Of
the Republican party are largely ex'Ee-
publicans, more than two'thirds OF them
being Greenbackers, and the Republican
malignity is on the whole increased
against the men who have left the Re-
publican party for principle, The
Greenbackers Of the United States are
attacked when the Fusionists are attack
ed in Maine.
The fusion cause in Maine is not in
flourishing shape. Errors have been
committed-serious errors. The first
blunder was made when Gov. Garcelon
was induced into submitting the canvas
sing of the returns to set of referees
wholly composed of his opponents'
Blaine himself might as we'll have deCid.
ed the matter. The Governor and Coun-
Gil were the supreme power to decide
this, and there it should have rested.
We cannot understand this foolish and
inexplicable blunder.
But a more fatal blunder still was the
delayin electing Governor and Coun'
Gil. This was inexCusable. The Fusion
lists had the organiSation-had a lawful
quorum but their inaction was fatal. In
this way they lost the government con-
troll which was in their hands. Had
they acted promptly, GarCelon would
not have handed over power to mill
tary head, and then Chamberlain and
his militia would not have been in the
way and usurped the power.
AS expected, the Maine Supreme
Court has decided against the Fusionists
on all points, and nothing is left for
them but to submit. The Court is a
mere Republican machine, and it has
been ready to decide for the party, right
or wrong.

The Washington City Star last week,
in an editorial article, quoted John G.
Thompson as saying Thurman can
carry Ohio for the Presidency against
Grant, Sherman, Blaine or any man the
Republicans might nominate. Ohio
must be our battle-ground. The Repub-
licans of New York are determined to
pass the bill to choose Electors by Con-
gressional Districts. 1t ia absurd TO talk
about their being afraid to deprive the
people of their right to choose Electors.
They believe they can settle the Presi-
dental election beforehand in their fa-
vor in that action, and they mean to do
it. Therefore, we (the DemoCrats) may
rs we'll give up New York, and turn to
State we can carry, and by carrying it
elect our President. That State is Ohio,
and Thurman is the man who can carry
it. Then Thurman can carry the Pacific
States too, and he is the only Democrat
who can. The people of those States
will support him upon great principle.
He carried through Congress the bill to
compel the Pacific Railroads to meet
their just obligations to the Government,
and that gives him strength in those
States no other man could command" p
There is still Thurman boom in exist
ence, no matter how many disadvanta-
ges they may labor under"
