THE pitiable confession of the Ercning
Star that free suffrage or free and represent
atiye government is a failure here in the
District, may proceed from the fullnoss of
its own heart but we deny that its mouth
speaks for the masses of our people. 1t is
true that the tetrachical potcntates of Four
and-0-half street have put money in its
purse time and again through the we'll
known methods of "public advertising" but
for the credit of our common manhood it is
to be hoped that its present attitude on the
suffrage question has not been brought
about by such sordid influences. Homo
Rule is the birth-right of every American
citizen, and he who sells it for such a des-
picable mess of pottoge as the meagre profit
upon few municipal advertisements is to
be pitied indeed.

THE Pittsburg Dispatch assumes that
the 10000 Republicans in New York who
scratched Mr.. CORNELL, viii, if nominated,

THE ELECTORAL VOTE IN NEW YORK


There lisa bill now peudinGin the New York
legislature, which has just been introduced,
and which proposes to change the method
of voting for Presidential electors in that
State The present method is to permit the
citizens of the whole State to vote for the
whole ticket, q fact which has heretofore
DISTINGUISHED the sentiment of the State
through the frauds in stufing repeating and
counting the ballots in the city of New
York. The plan proposed by the pending
bill is for the electors 20 be elected the same
rs Members of Congress in their respective
districts, with the exception of two to rep
resent the Senators, who are TO be elected b y
the entire State on general ticket. There
will be some opposition to this measure
among Republicans, and it may not prove
feasible, though it is unquestiOnably just.
At all events this proposed plan reserves to
the people all the rights that they now have,
aud it may possibly secure 10 them more,
for if this bill becomes a law it is not posi-.
BILE for New York city to defeat the wishes

II will defeat the Democratic schemes of the
city, which have too often overwhelmed the
honest popular sentiment of the State. II
is held that twenty-three of the thirty-fye
electoral votes of that State will be assured
to the Republican candidate, which result
will render the Democratic hope Of success,
desperate even with Solid South scored to

VERIFY, the whrligig of time does even
up matters occasiOnly. For some time
the Democratic organ Of this city has been
polting sharp sticks at Speaker RANDALL
for the reason, us is thought, that the
Sneaker could not be used in the iobbing
business in which that concern has large
interests. Well, the Speaker has bided his
time patiently, aud now has planted good
one on the bridge of it's face. A few days
since, the House Committee ON Printing re-
ported bill abolishing the Office Of Public
Printer aud creating the office of Congress
sional Printer, and making him an on Ger Of
the Senate. This measure is compromise
under an attempt of Democratic patriots TO
steal the Government Printing Ollice out
right, and they are now found following this
home into the arena. The Philadelphia
Bulletin says, in referring to this matter

THE "Stnr" mail service investigation

If the exercise of the right of suffrage is,
ns the Star asserts, an encouragement" to
the idle and vicious classes only of any
community, it should at once be abolished.
And by the same token, if idle or vicious
men happen to enjoy the exercise of the
rights of Congressman, then Congress should
be abolished. The same postulate would
empty our pulpits, perhaps, and dethrone
not few editorial dictators of public opin-
ion But the trouble is, the Star overlooks
She fact that the upright and honorable
citizen is also encouraged"

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1880-03-17

The Inter Ocean is the appropriate
name Of a weekly journal which made
its appearance in Denver on last Sum-
day. 1t Is modelled after the London
Truth and similar journals which have
met with such worldwide success. 1t
is not always fair to judge the merits of
a publication by its first issue. We do
not wish TO be understood as conveying
the idea that the Inter Ocean would suf-
fer by judgment on its first issue; on the
contrary, 1t bears inspection remarka-
bly, well, and elicits the commentator
Of all readers. But we can see very
clearly that the Inter Ocean has bril-
liant future, and will ever prove attrac-
tive, and consequently become an estab-
lished and profitable institution. Sue
ceeding numbers will improve ON the
first, and that assured, the success Of
the enterprise is fixed.
A very interesting feature OF the
Inter Ocean is the contributions from
the editors Of Colorado. This is very
attractive and profitable, and Will doubt
less be continued.
The LEADER wishes the Inter Ocean
success and trusts that the people Of
the plains will appreciate the new pub
lication to the full measure of its mer-

parties had already staked placer
claims and taken up ranches on the
Ute reservation, and others preparing
70 follow. The telegram says:
The next two weeks will see the res

The agent concludes with the request
that troops be ordered 10 the reserva-
tiOn for the purpose Of protecting the
Utes.
This matter was the subject Of con-

to-day, and later Secretary schurz had

and the Ute chiefs now here awaiting

ment with the government to ceding

chiefs should leave at once for Colo

no locations made on Indian reserva-
tions will be recognized by the interior
department.

not due until June, and thereby car
ried the election.

denounced the proceeding by which
Kelley had controlled the election.
Twenty-Five shares, said he, were given
by me in the regular way Of business,
as collateral for loan, and which, had
anticipated such n move, might
have paid of without any dificulty.
Mr.. Brooks will contest the matter In
the courts.

Kendall recently killed desperate

afterwards waylaid and murdered.
Kendall has just been convicted at San
Saba Of the murder Of Brown. which
excites just indignation. Had Kendall
not been under the special protection
Of the rangers in the court room, he
would have been shot dead. Pistols
were drawn on Kendall and his coun-
sci; the rangers showed their winches-
ters.
The jury declare that they found
verdict Of guilty, with five years, as q
measure OF safety to Kendall and them
selves.
