The Normal.

Wednesday afternoon, in quest of
news for the readers of THE GRAPHIC,
we called at the Normal, and witnessed
the dismissal of the students,-always
an interesting and amusing sight. The
attendance so far this term is some ff-
teen or twenty more than during the
same time last year, making the aver
age somewhere near three hundred.
The students this year are composed Of
excellent material and are already max
ing marked progress in their studies.
Every county but three in north Mis-
sour has representatives present,
while some ten counties on the south
side of the river have one or more stu
dents here. Kansas, Iowa and Illinois
also have a representation in the vari-
ons classes. A very large attendance
confidently expected during the second
and third terms.

but he proposes to take the entire ma
ton over to the principles on which he
tried to found the oonfederacy; and
the latter either with blind zeal refuses
any information of this dark rebel
plan as republican lies, or with cop
perhead malignity joins to subvert the
free institutions of the nation. The
records show that now as in Buchan-
mans administration every important
congressional trust is in rebel hands.
They preside over thirteen Of the
most important committees of the sen.
ate, and twelve of the most important
in the house, and constitute also 4 ma
jority of the democracy on most of
these committees. These usurp the
power of taxing the majority, when
this majority pay six dollars to sup
port the government for every dollar
paid by them: No wonder they are
saving the account Of slaves liberated
with other expenses OF secession to be
paid when they shall elccta president
to sign their bills, since but a small
amount will come from their pockets.
Taxation without representation is
tyranny. The republican party de-
mand equality of representation, es-
pecially as they support the govern

The County Canvass.

From every township in the county
there comes the most hattering re-
ports for the success of the whole re-
publican ticket, and the indications
are that it will carry by . larger ma
jority than ever before. There is an
undercurrent that is sweeping every
thing before 1t, and the republicans all
over the county, though feeling that
success by good majority is assured,
are determined to make that majority
just as large as possible. And this
is just what we like to see-every re-
publican up and doing with an ear
nes;ness which shows his heart to be
in the cause, and with a vigilance
which insures grand success. There
lis an opportunity now, by earnest
work and vigilance to free ourselves
from the political influence of a bour-
bon element, not only here, but,
throughout northeast Missouri; an
influence which has driven many
young men of promising talent from
this portion of the state, and ether
wise hindered our material advance
ment. Now is the time to strike.

REPRESENTATION.

The immediate cause Of the Ameri
can revolution Of 1776, was the levy
ing of taxes upon the colonists by par
lament, body in which they had NJ
representation The founders of the
Republic showed by their course thai
i, vas the principle involved for which
they contended, and not the trifling
sum of few dollars taxes on their tea
And no principle Of free government
is more just than this; That the Peo-
pie taxed shall be fairly and fully rep
resented in the legislative bodies that
vote the taxes
We deem it just cause for political
revolution when representation is not
equitably proportionate to the burdens
of government, as well as the distribu-
ton of population. What are the
facts? In this state by an unjust and
Infamous re-districting law, whereby
for the PURPOSE OF pIsFRANcHIsING
I56 900 REPUBLICAN VOTERS, they, (the
democratic legislature) made some
districts to contain 10000 voters, and
others over $1,000; some 200 miles
long and but 80 wide, and one to
cross the Missouri river three times,
and NONE COMPACT, but ALL DEMo-
CRATIC. The congress elected in 1873
has a fraudulent democratic majority
obtained by the infamous redistrict-
ing" in some states, and in others by
suppressing more than 1000, 900 re-
publican votes. And what is more
striking still this democratic majority
in congress represents constituency
of voters less by I ooo,ooo than is rep
resented by the republican minority.
Also the population of the republican
minority exceeds the population rep
resented by the demscratic majority
l, 100000. This is TIE fruitage Of the
reform started by 1ilden & Co, in
1876.
Let us look now into the congress
ional records. Here IS the last chance !
for the inequalities OF representative
form of government to be equ!tably |
adjusted Surely here the chivalrous
southern gentleman Will show the no.
oility of his nature and purpose by
lighting the wrongs above alluded to;

,iic northern ally will remind him Of

FRAUD . FRAUD ! /!

Such is the startling cry which i:
again being shouted by the democracy
all over the country. We think We
have heard it before. hepcople have
become accustomed to it and know
Just what it means when coming from
such source. There is nothing in il
to alarm any one. 1t simply means
that democracy sees its prospects o
success slipping from it, and cries on,
fraud for two reasons first, to LEI
themselves down easily, from the po.
sition which their unfounded hopes OF
success had leo them to think they
occupied secondly, that they may
excuse themselves for the defeat which
in their souls they believe to be certain.
Notwithstanding the blow and bluster
with which the democratic papers have
regaled their readers, they have for
several weeks felt that the long covet-
ed prize was slipping farther and farther
away from them. But they must keep
up the courage of their voters. This
is why they attempted to convince the
people that the result in Maine was 4
democratic victory-indeed, they even
attempted to deceive themselves =! A
y democratic victory ? when the dem
ocrats got nothing while the republi-
cans have two thirds of the legislature,
three out of the five congressman, and
the grcenbackers have the remainder :;
and the republicans can show 4 clear
gain over the fusion ticket of last wear
of over SEVEN HUNDRED voTEs-a gain
which would give US if kept up through
out the other states, New York by I q
900, Ohio by $4,000 and Indiana by a
sufficient majority would give Us in
fact every state outside the solid south
but one. The democratic papers and
politicians understand this, and they
see the drift Of popular feeling, and SO
they cry fraud" Their candidate has
been forced to write letter declaring
his intention to veto all bills to allow
southern claims. This became neces-
sary in order to secure votes in the
north, As an electioneering scheme
it will SIMPLY amount to nothing. The
are steadily and earnestly
at work. They know just what they
are doing, and are confident of SUCCESS.
They are closing in the lines on their
democratic enemies, with 4 steady |
firmness that is bound to win. Even
the greenbackers CT Maine and Indi-
ana, as well as other states are becom-
Ing distrustful of their professed friends |
the democrats, and manifest de-
cided tendency to let them fight their
own battles, Thus they are becoming
sorely pressed, and the harde, they
are pressed the louder they will yell
fraud so that we will be enabled to
Judge the progress of the fight all along
he line, by the frequency and earnest
hess with which they yell fraud =

General Sir Thomas PonSonby explain
ing that while the Queen sometimes
gives e:i to the mothers Of three chill
dren at a birth, she only does so when
the children survive long enough to
cause expense and the parents are
respectable but poor. Mrs Collier has
had FIVE children in twelve months and
seven in two years, and ii is alleged that
tho Queen fears that she has contracted

egates to the judicial convention
which meets IN this city on Thursda,
next. The disposition on the part o

to be very generally in favor Of NOM
lnation and an active and thorough
canvass, believing that By such action
success Is assured. Still there are
some even among the republicans,
who think Ellison cannot be beaten;
giving as evidence, the large majority by
which he was elected two years ago.
But that cuts no figure in the case at
all. In the first place it was an of
