Another Change.

Heretofore, there We're two Republi-
can papers in Richland county; the Re-
publican, edited by Togo & Munson, and
the Observer, edited by Waggoner &
Burtch. The former firm recently pur-
chased the Observer Office, with its good
will, and have consolidated the two I'M
der the banner of The Republican and
Observer. We have just received the
first copy, and extend our congratu-
lationS TO the firm on the splendid APP
pearance of the new paper. We have
always regarded the Republican as a
model newspaper, especially since we
had anything to do with it, but now we
viii have TO go back on that opinion and
say that it is much better. We regard
the makeup and general appearance of
the Republican and Observer, and its
display of editorial ability. as undoubt-
edly the best in the district. 1t can now
glide along the peaceful tenor of its way
without a cloud in its course or a shadow
in its pathway. The entire field is theirs,
and it is full of fodder
The retiring firm are well known
journalists, especially Mr.. J. Waggoner,
now Land Commissioner at Madison.
He has been engaged in journalism
for many years, and always with sue
cess He is writer Of rare merit, and
newspaper work is second nature to him.
His many friends will regret his retire.
meni Mr.. Burtch, his partner for a
year past. is man of signal energy and
good ability rs an editor. and in the alb
sence of Mr.. Waggoner has conducted
the ObSercer to the pleasure of all its
readers
The new Republic IN and Observer is
r welcome exchange. and we trust it
may Republicanize every one of the
+" unterrifedN Democrats in Richlanrl

Contested Seats.

The next house of representatives will
have before it the consideration of sew
eral contested election cases. The one
which is most prominently spoken of
now is that of the Shoestring district
of Mississippi, where John r. Lynch
(colored) was elected by decided ma
jority over General Chalmers, the pres
ent incumbent. In consequence of the
fact that the printer took the liberty to
place a dash between the names, 2049
republican votes We're thrown Out aud
Gen. Chalmers was declared elected In
the answer which the latter has filed TO
Mr.. Lynch, he admits the facts. and
rests his case entirely on the TECHNICAL
ties of the laws of the state of Missis-
sippi, which in this instance were pretty
clearly framed for the express purpose
of rendering the present trick or one
like it, possible. The law requires that
the names of those voted for must be
printed with space of not less than
One-fifth of an inch between any two
names, on plain white newspaper not
more than two and halt nor less than
two and quarter inches wide, and with
out any device or mark by which one
ticket can be DISTINGUISHED from another.
The dash under each name in the pres
ent instance is construed to be such a
mark or Device although it is the
most customary thing in the world for
printers to place dashes under names in
the manner indicated.
But the object in requiring the tickets
of the contesting parties to be exactly
alike is presumably TO render it impos-
sible for the negroes in Mississippi, most
of whom cannot read, to distinguish one
ticket one ticket from another them
selves, thus making them an easy prev
for any one willing to deceive them by
lie. The same may be said of the par
ticularity with which the width of the
ticket is described in the law. A var;a-
ton OF an eighth or even a sixteenth of
an inch Is sufficient under the law to
make the ballot illegal. In the . Shoe
string district all the legal require
ments We're complied with in the reject
cd tickets with the solitary exception OF
the dash. TO construe this dash into
mark or Device is stretching the
point considerably, but it is deemed suf
ficient by the returning officers to defeat
the will of the people of the said district
by casting out over 2000 votes This is
not a pheasant thing TO look at Nor is
the man. who, while openly confessing
that the popular vote is against him, will |
take advantage of such a trick. one TO |
be viewed without disgust. Here Is
nothing less than deliberate swindle.

The uaion was equally divided on the
late elections. Nineteen states went for
Garfield and nineteen for Hancock. The
records show that for every dollar ex-
pended for mails the Garfield states re-
turned Sl0s. and for every dollar eX-

only IS cts. are returned. the first class

After the late elections there v

After The late elections There We're
many surmises as to the causes of the
defeat of the Democratic party. Some
alleged that it was because of the Morey
letter; others, because of the solid south
menace; and still others, among them
the Chicago Times, thought it was Bill
English and the failure of the Democ-
racy TO carry the Indiana and Ohio
elections. Would it not be well. now
that the smoke has blown away, and we
can reason calmly about the matter to
ascribe the defeat of the Democratic
party to the Republican party?
