est confederation OF those of our Re-
publican friends who have been talk.
ing so loudly OF campsigu OF cal
umny being instituted by the De-
mocracy. Read it and see where
the "ca umuy" originated
"The leading editorial in Hmpcy's
Weekly Of last week opens with the
assertion, the Democrats invite a
blackgusrd campaign If this were
true it would be rePreheusible. 1t
would prove that the Democrats had
not yet risen above that low level
where abuse, Misrepresentation and
vulgarity are mistaken iCr discussion
and where the newspaper that can
utter the greatest amount Of SANDER
against the candidate on the other
side is regarded as the most efficient
orgtu Of the party. But is tine as
sertion true
1t will certainly be admitted that
the highest standard Of treatment OF
candidate for office is TO be drawn
from the organs o! his own party.
If the candidate is a l. mociat, it is
allowable for the opposite side to
quote what Democratic newspapers
say or have said about him 1.-The is
"a Republican it is equally permissi-
bic for the other side to repeat
what Republican newspapers say or
have said against him. II the quo
tations made are uncomplimentsry
that cannot be helped it Is the
candidates fault or at least his
misiortune--aud he has no right to
complain.
The Democrats have adopted this
high standard in their treatment Of
both the candidates on the Republi-
can ticket. They have invented no
stories, they have fabricated no
taIsehoods against them. They have
not even repeated doubtful reports.
1t Is true they are fighting the Re-
publican candidates, as they have
right to, but it is with weapons
drawn from the Republican armory,
exclusively. They are ropublishing
certain reports, statements and crit
lcisms on Cen. Garield's relation
with the Credit Mobler, tie De
GoIyer paving contract and the sal
ary grab; but these reports are
official ones, made by Republican
committee to Republican Congres-
sea some of these statements are
made by Mr.. Garfield himself, and
these criticisms are taken from the
columns Of Republican papers now
supporting MIN. The Democratic
press ls attempting to illustrate
Gen. Arthur's unftuess for official
position by quoting Mr.. Hayes and
Secretary Shermsns reasons for re
moving him from office. If this is
blackgusrdism, then, Garfield and
Authors friends, not their enemies,
are responsible Tor it, and the Poland
committee, the New York Tribune
the New York Times, the Cinoiu-
natl Commercial, Mr.. Hayes, Sc ere

Republicans make the mistake oil

Such talk as the above on the part
OF the Republicans, especially as to

nothing more noy less than profes
sional crow-eating. We doubt
whether there is another man in the

quently for his Democracy, accused
more frequently Of disloyalty, OF his

than Mr.. James A. Brown.

Should be squelchod. .

There are two classes Of humorisls
in this country that ought to be sat
down on emphatIcally, One is the
funny man who points an empty gun
around unfortunately and The
other is the genial man that rocks q
rowboat to scare the inmates. The
boat-rocker looms mp the grsndest
when there are some women jn the
boat. 1t shows of lis great bravery
and indicates that he cares very lit
tie for marine dangers. His smil-
ing seif-assurance ao he rocks the
little craft lgom side 20 side, stands
out strongly against their terror
stricken demeanor as they cling to
the boat. The remedy for this sort
Of funny business is TO pick up the
nearest oar and knock the humOrist
into the bottom Of the boat. Don't
be afraid Of hitting him too hard his
head is thick Argue the case alter
ward, when he lies Il the bottom Of
the boat, Then show bim primly,
but kindly, the error Of bis ways,
and If he attempts to dispute with
you have the osr handy.--Deholt
