The semi-official Russian press discusses
the Turkish situation in decidedly aggres-
sive tone. One of the papers says it is only
a question of time when Turkey will be di-
vided into a number of independent Slav
States, and further asserts that no other
than Russian flag ought to be allowed to
wave ON the Bosphorus. Another says that
it requires no intrigues, no conspiracies to
accelerate the collapse of the Turkish En-
pire. The same paper observes that Russia
would prefer pacific solution of the ques-
ton, but the interests of all the Powers de-
mand that their designs should soon be
achieved. The present situation, it declares,
is insupportable. A third paper discusses
the matter from decidedly anti-Austrian,
anti-German standpoint.

CARL ScHURz on the Democracy: Since
the downfall and disappearance of the slave
power as a compact political interest, from
which the Democratic party, more than
twenty years ago, derived it's morals, its
logic, its political skill and craftsmanship,
that party has been flcundering about, out
of logical connection with the questions of
the day; never knowing the time of day;
always looking for something to turn up,
and when something did,turn up, spelling
it; lamely tagging in the rear of the events
and the requirements of the day; always be-
hind; denouncing as impossible things that
were already accomplished facts; with a
strange incapaeity to understand the pres
ent and to measure the future. making it.
self the recipient and rallying point for all
dangerous and obstructive tendencies and
elements, and thus committing blunder
after blunder, which at the moment of their
birth it uniformly gloried in as great strokes
of policy, from the secession movement in
1861 down to the nomination of General
Hancock in 1880. There are many good
and clear-headed mer in the Democratic
party, men whom personally esteem, and
whose friendship value, who deplore this
condition of things as much as do, but are
unable to control the obstreperous elements
and tendencies of the organization, and to
fit it for the tasks and responsibilities of

HARPER's Weekly hits Gen. Pearson, the
Pennsylvania Republican whohas deserted
to Hancock, a severe rap. Pearson gave as
reason for joining the Democracy that Han
cock had proclaimed ''that the right of trial
by jury, the hdbeas corpus, the liberty of
speech, the natural rights of persons, and
the rights of property must be preserved"
The Weekly says:
The party which has denied the right of trial
by jury, which refused and contested the pro-
lection of the great writ of liberty to the most
innocent and most unfortunate of Americans
which has always insolently attacked freedom
of speech and the press, which has outraged
apd destroyed every natural personal right, and
which furnishes recruits to the forces of Com
munism, is the party to which he has now be-
taken himself.
On the other hand, the party which has de-
manded that all citizens, black as we'll as
white, shall serve equally upon the jury;
which has invoked for the poorest and most
oppressed citizen the right of the habeas corpus,
and has suspended the writ only as against
armed treason and to save the Government
which has asserted everywhere the liberty of
speech and OF the press attacked by Democratic
foes; which was born of respect for the equal
natural rights of persons; which is the uncom-
promising enemy of every form of Commun-
ism, including that which would lower the
value of the dollar of the laborer-is the Re-
publican party which the General leaves

A CoLoRED man, DR.. Robert Norton, now
member of the Virginia Senate, is likely to
receive the readjusters' nomination in the
second district, now represented by NIr.
Goode. In the Richmond district, John S.
Wise will be the readjusters' candidate, and
his cousin, Henry d. Wise will be nomin-
ated by the funders. The Republican choice
lies between Wickham of Richmond and
Walker of Chesterfield. In the State it is
estimated that there will be from 900 to
10000 Democratic votes cast, of which the
readjusters will have a majority; and with
an energetic canvass, it is thought that the
Republicans will lead. the strongest
branch of the Democracy by $4,000 or
10000 votes. In four Congressional dis
tricts the Republican chances are good
THE New York Tribune says the Demo-
cratic cry for free ballot, like that for
home rule, is simply the clamor of men who
seek political control by fraudulent and dis
honest means. There is not State in the
South that does not, as the fruit of Repub-
publican admins tration, enjoy home rule
in its most absolute sense, so far as white
Democrats are concerned, nor State in the
whole Union which does not enjoy as the
fruit of Republican legislation an absolutely
free ballot. Their home rule means the
rule of the bulldozer and ballot-stuffer and
their free ballot means free fraud.

The One Man Power.

The Democrats have fallen into another
fit of .despon1ency over the ''one-man pow
er.' They hold that power 10 be unwise
and dangerous except when it is exercised
by Samuel j. Tilden. Then it becomes
craftsmanship. The man whose power"
they now fear is John Davenport. Mr..
Davenport has been engaged ever since
1865 in the nefarious work of destroying the
Democratic majority in the city of New
York To effec; this wicked object he has
resorted to the basest means, and has gone
so far as to arrest men for voting on fraudu-
lent naturalization papers. This tyranny,
worse even than bayonet rule. the Demo-
crat> are determined to overthrow, and they
have confided the charge of the insurrecton
to Congressional Committee of which Sen
ator Wallace is chaii man. Mr., Wallace
familiarly known in Pennsylvania as Coffee
Pot Wallace-was selected because ''he
knows how it is himself" What this dis
tinguished gentleman doesn't know about
fraudulent naturalization papers isn't
worth knowing. He and his committee
have subjected Mr.. Davenport to a most
searching examination and have discovered
that from sixty to seventy thousand fraudu-
lent naturalization papers were issued by
the notorious Judges Barnard and McCunn
and that by means of these papers New
York was carried for Seymour in 1868 Mr..
Davenport had the effrontery to declare that
he had compelled many holders of these
bogus certificates to give them up; but there
are, he said, many more still in existence,
and he means to challenge the possessors of
them whenever they put in an appearance
at the polls.
The Committee have not yet decided what
to do with Mr.. Davenport. They must get
him out of the way somehow o. lose the
State of New York; for he is avowedly EN-
gagged in diabolical blot to wipe out their
majority there. Unless they can suppress
him, the declaration in the Cincinnati plat
form that ''the right to free ballot is the
right preservative of all rights cannot be
carried out Of course you can't have
free ballot unless all men are permitted to
vote as often as they please.
