Hitherto hero-worship in this
country has been contemptuously
regarded as belonging to the
ancients Or to the more servile of
modern monarehists OF imperialists.
A nation fond of man worship and
pageantry o on becomes a nation of
slaves, and unless our people cease
to harness themselves to the chariot
of a single mortal the Republic will
descend to history as having v
thrown itself in it's desire to pay ho-
mage to q creature instead of the
Creator. Happily for the country,
reactions cone and with them san
ity. Hundreds of thousands of per-
sons who have been and will be
wheed.ed in to damaging their lungs
and ~blistering their hands for Gen.
Grant will, on calm reflection, shrink
back abashed at the very recollec
tion of having furthered the designs
of conspirators against the life of
the equality and co-equality of the
States which form the Union of our
fathers.

The Senate will be Democratic
certainly until after the 4th of
March, 1883. What about the
House of Representatives, whose
term commences in 1881 and ends
in 1888? A Washington Republi-
can paper furnishes these statistics
which do not make the outlook for
that party any too well: Of the 293
Representatives in Congress, 1877
come from the old free States and
LOG from the old slave States. In
the present Congress-, CHASING all
the members as Republicans and
DEMOCRATS, the former have 126 from
the Northern and five from
Southern States, while the Demo-
Gratis have 81 from the Northern
and 101 from the Southern States.
Now it takes lat to constitute a bare
majority. If the Republicans could
carry all the districts in the North
there would be no trouble, but the
correspondent has been over the
election statistics for the past ten
years by districts, and that of 1877
Northern districts As are Democratic
at all times and under all circum-
stances. This would 1eave~the Re-
publicans only 1876 in the States
where they now have 126. To get
that increase of thirteen members
they would be compelled to devote
all their energies to the North, but
that would leave them still eight
members to secure in the South,
where they o have five. These
five are as many as they are likely
to get in the condition of politics in
that section. There will very likely
be a good many independents cleo
ted to the House from the South,
but they will act with the Democrats
in Congress on most political ques
tions, and in the organization.

The venerable Peter Cooper de
clares that in 1913 Congress passed
a law which remains on the statue
books to this day, declaring that
"any person holding an Office or any
stock in any institution in the ma
ture ola bank for issuing or diseoun-
ting bills or notes payable to bearer
or order, cannot be a member of the
House while he holds such Office or
stock" This is a revelation.

The truth of the whole matter is
that Gov. Garcelon, of Maine, threw

of the State, made by Republicans,

Is it not strange that the great
Republican party which claims so
large a part of the morals, decency,
religion and intelligence of the land,
has but one man with brains enough
to make a President; and that man,
now nearly sixty years of age, was,
twenty years ago, scarcely known
outside of the city limits of the lit
tie town of Galena, Ill. How
strange, is it not?

u. S.. Senator Voorhees, presented

There is a movement on the part
of the Republican managers to have
the Legislature of every State where
the Republicans have a majority to
SO change the laws as to have the
Presidential Electors appointed or
chosen by the Legislature instead
of being elected by the voters of the
State. This is a long step toward
anarchy, but the Republican party
having stolen one President with
out violent opposition r embold-
ened to proceed at any length to re-
peat the operation in 1880.

One of the peculiar atrocities that
the Governor and Council of Maine
committed in passing upon the re-
turns IS narrated as follows Under
the law in Maine the ballots are
counted every hour, and the polls
are closed at FIVE o'clock, so that it
is not hard to tell about how the
election is going an hour before the
polls close. In one town or county,
or plantation, or something of that
sort, when the five o'clock count was
made, it was discovered that the
Greenback candidate for the Legis.
lature was nine votes ahead. The
Republican election officers in one
district, learning this fact did not
close the polls at five o'clock, but
kept them open until nine, and in
the meantime sent abroad on horses
and brought in ten Republicans,
who put the Republican candidate
one vote ahead. But the Governor
and Council actually refused to
count the last ten votes-and here
is where the outrage comes in. The
Republican officials could easily
have stuffed the ballot box to the
extent of ten ballots, but they re-
fused to do it. They chose to get
in ten honest votes even if it die
take five hours after the legal time
for closing the polls to do it. NJ
