THE LOTTERY or ASSASSIN
ALTON.

Senator Ednunds, the present Re-
publican leader az Washington, de.
nounced the election of Mr., Bayard US
President Of the Senate ~ a prize
drawn by the Democracy in the lottery
of assassination. Mr.. Edmuuds, says
the New York Sun, seems to forget
that the assassination was entirely
Republican Gateaa, tho dcmoniat
murderer who fired the deadly shot at
President Garfield, is, like Mr.. Ed
munds, an ultra Republican. He says
he was divinely inspired to kill the
President in order TO re.unite the omar
relling factions of the Republican par
ty. Except by his murder, he could
not see any other means Of keeping
the Democracy out of power.
So far as can be gathered from theiI
public uttorances, Guiteau and Ed
munds seem to be about equally IRA
tional regarding the reults that might
follow from the restoration OF the De
mocracy TO the control of the Govern
ment Both the assassin and Senator
regard the Republican party as a kind
of divine institution. The one mur
dered the President because of his in
sane delusion. The other furiously
denouncos tho Democracy for exercis
ing their constitutional and legal righr
in the election of Thomas +. BayarC
to be President of the Senate.
1t is an absurd stretch Of ianatica
partisanship on the part Of Mr.. Ed
munds but this absurdity is much lesl
oulpable than the act Of the same Ed
munds in 1876, when he conspireC
with others, in some respects worst
than himself, to set aside the Presi
dental election, and to put Rutherford
B. Hayes into the office to which S. J
Tilden had been chosen. Then ht
was ready to commit an unheard-o
crime to keep out the Democrats
Now his conduct is less utrocious, bu'
his spirit is the same, 1t is not I
spirit of high patriotism or Of sounC
nationality.

hositated and finally pleaded not guilty.
He attempted to mako speech, but
the Court told him ho would have

The ELECTIoNs.-The elections held
in the States of Ohio and Iowa on
Tuesday of last week resulted in the
election of the Republican ticket, but
by greatly reduced majorities. The
Legislatures in both States are Repub,
lican. Gov, Foster was re elected in
Ohio by about $4,000. The Republi.
cans carried the State by about 10000
last October and by $4,000 last No.
vember. The vote IN the State falls
over 100000 short of that of last year,
when 10000 votes were cast. There
are this year $1,000 Prohibition and
500 Greenback votes, both greatly in
excess of last year Foster this year
ran behind the balance of the Stat
ticket.
In Iowa, Sherman, the Republican
candidate for Governor, was elected by
$4,000 over the Democratic candidate.
Ohio and Iowa are joined to their
idols and eventually the people will
suffer by oppression, tyranny and
theft. The Philadelphia Times echoes
our views exactly when it says: "The
Republicans saved Ohio because the
State ticket represented the honest
Garfield Republican element of the
party, and tho sacred memory of a
martyr President gave the Republi,
cans victory. In Pennsylvania the
Stalwart machine bosses defy the peo-
pie and the Garfield Republicans arc
in rebellion. The same causes which
elected Foster in Ohio, will defeat
Baily in Pennsylvania"

Johnson's accession, and in the end il
will be said that it had been better for
Arthur if he had never been born, OF
that milestone had been hanged about

he should have been made Conkling' 4
