AS a companion piece to one to be
found In this column clipped from the
CUurier-Journal, we reproduce the fol-
lowing from the New York Tribune
"The democratic executive commit.
tee OF Monroe county, Mis-.
sissippi, has passed resolution
declaring that there should no
longer be any radical school teach.
or employed in the capacity Of
school teacher, and requiring
each applicant to present a Ger,
tihcate like this: Il certify that
have been q Democrat, and that will
hereafter support the candidates Of the
Democratic party The clumsy con-
struction Of this remarkable resolution
is what Is TO be expected from its lib.
eral- minded authors. So long a. the
teachers are sound on the doctrines of
hating the dam radical Ysnkees' the
Mississippi 'redeemers' will ask for no
further evidence Of fitness."

Another Outrage.
Memphis Appeal.1

Another attempted outrage occurred
between nine and ten o'clock last
night, on Overton street, between
Main and Front streets. A little
girl aged eleven years, was sent by
her mother, who resides on Overton
street, to q grocery on Main street to
make some purchases. The child was
on her return home, and on reaching
the alley on Overton street a negro
man approached and asked her some
auestios, which she answered. He
then seized her by the neck and at
tempted to drag her into the alley, and
at the same time choke down her
cries for assistance. She continued to
struggle and call for help. Her moth
er, who resided near by, hearing her
screams, came out. The negro, seeing
her, let the child go and ran down the
alley, making his escape. The little
girl was SO frightened that che was un-
able to recognize her assailant, and
couli only give general description
OF him. This description the police
have in possession, and every { fort
will be made to effect the arrest of the
villainous scoundrel. When arrested
an example should be made Of him
that will deter others from attempting
like crimes.

A FULL CoNFE>SIoN.-The PrOgrsSSSrt
.4g, of Belfast has certainly progressed
with the age and kept abreas, Of the
highest tide of political insincerity. Here
is what 1t says about the political stu
alton:
Gen. Weaver has been uDjuStly criti-
cised. lie cannot consistently. being a
Presidential nominee, advocate fusion.
With u in this State the case l. different.
our first object i 20 beat the Republican
party. and the most efeCtual way To do
this is 70 unite the forces against Il. We
cannot tell what the future may develop.
The first object in this State is 10 cast the
electoral vote OF Maine in opposition TO
Garfield and Arthur, and this l. assured by
fuSing with the Democrats.
Note the full and free confession Of it,
political creed, which is to frSt boa, the
Republicans. No principles Of govern
ment, no State policy, no national quc>-
tons are OF any Importance compared To
the spite and envy which Is held by these
renegadeS, who obtained all the Promi-
nence they ever had by courtesy of the
Republican party Of Maine II they
could not rule the party; If they could
not reach the summit of their ambition I;
If the party would not listen to the claims
Of aspiring mediocrity in It's ranks,
then the ranks must be broken, and the
party hurled from power. Such Is the
opposition which we have met and de-
feated, and such Is the opposition we
have TO meet and fight for the next dec
ade, unless new and great questions art
brought out for discussion. The Repub-
hcan party does no, base ~ claims foT
power upon hatred and jealousy. Il
points with pride to is past brilliant
record Of patriotism, honest administra-
tion and business capacity. IL promises
10 continue this excellent condition OF
affairs; and It Is met simply by this
senseless cry for "a change, and ANY
thing TO beat the Republican party.
The opposition i composed Of discord-
ant elements. meeting only on this one
platform OF hate against the dominant
party. What It's policy on finance, in
business affairs. or on any of the great
national questions will be, no one can
tell. II the Southern element does not
control, no man can predict which Of the
other diSOrganizing elements viii be found
on top. Voters who think, viii scarcely
care TO change from such an excellent
certainty 10 the glittering generality OF
no known policy save this one Of beating
the Republicans.

The larger party has simply devoured the
smaller, for although the number OF un-
shaken Democratic in Maine was only 49,
600, their numbers In the country were
rcckoned by millions. The mouth OF the
Democratic whale only, has been in Maine,
while the body, and especially the stomach,
that has digested the Greenback Jonah Is
elsewhere.
This Grcenback break and rush to the
Democratic fold is not so surprising after
all, for II is well known that two-thirds oil
the voters that has constituted that party,
came from and retained their Democratic
proclivlties and principles, aud when they
saw an opportunity to gain control of the
State and country by joining drives will
their old friends, they had no scruples to
overcome in order to do just what they are
now doing in fact think that their at
tachment To their old love Is so strong that
the majority of them would sooner sail IN
TO power under the Democratic than The
Grecnback standard.
The only thing to be wondered at in The
whole of this great stampede TO the Han
cock lines, is how any of those who lcf'
the Republican party for the purpose o
securing financial reform, can so readily 60
to the support of their old enemies from
whom they can expect nothing in further
ance of their ideas or principles. Bu
Nasty has truthfully said that 1t Is charac
tcristic of the Amt ricans to slop over, an'
those men have made the greatest Slop o
the age. x. Il. BRACKETr.

DENMARK. The hoSp.tablc residence of
Mr.. William Bean of d ,nmark was a scene
OF rejoicing Thursday evening, Sept. 3O,h,
when the citizens OF his Representative
district assembled 10 congratulate Mr..
Bean on his election, and 10 congratulate
each other on their success In their dis
trict and in oxford county. Examinations
in each window sent their rays Of light far
along the road 10 greet each Republican
who came that way; Garfield \ Arthur
flag lloated over the main entrance; and
Just beyond, band OF music sent forth
harmonious sounds, TO add To the pleasure
OF the hour. The crowds of people about
the grounds gave Us the idea that all had
come forth into the open air 10 listen to
the music, but when we entered we found
similar crowds, up stairs and down stairs,
aud we concluded that everybody had come
and brought their wives and children.
Mr. Johnnes OF Hiram, made 4 short adj
dress, intlmating that though as Republi-
cans OF the State OF Maine we might have
some cause for feelings Of disappointment,
a. citizens Of oxford County We would re
ioice; and urging to renewed courage and
effort for November. Mr.. Stearns OF
Lowell, followed in few brief remarks
after which an invitation TO the supper
rooms dispersed fraction of the crowd.
Bowls of steaming oysters were served,
and for those who indulge not in such
luxuries, other good things were not want
ing, and though tableful after tableful ate
and were filed, yet, apparently were not
the viands less. The hcartiest good feeling
prevailed throughout the evening, and
when the people dispersed at a late hour,
with three hearty cheers for Mr. Bean it
was noticed that good Democrat in the
band cheered as Justify as any; and we all
departed TO our several homes feeling that
we had spent an evening long to be re-
membered.- Neirs.
