HOW TO SAVE DEMOCRACY.

Montgomery Blair has broken
loose again. He has been doing this
thing periodically for several years
past. He is on hand now with re-
cipe: "How to save the Democ
racy" It comes in the shape of g
letter to the editor of the New York
Sun, and here it is:
Malone and his objects are utter
" obnoxious to the national Democ
racy, but it is certainly to be CON
graduated upon the death blow he
has given to the Bourbons. For
more than q quarter Of a century
they have hung upon it like the shirt
of Nessus, using the power they have
obtained through sectlonailsm to
dictate the candidates and policy Of
the party, aud thus- securing its de-
feat or setting aside the election
and selling out to the opposition
when their will has been disregarded,
The bossism which Kelly has secured
in New York, by parcellinS out
offices and jobs by means OF his close
corporation, they obtained by the
use of slavery and by awaiting them
selves Of the reconstruction and en-
forcement acts Of the radicals to
foster sectionalism since the de-
stEuction Of slavery The alliance
between them an Kelly is therefore
natural, and he did but execute their
| orders in striking down Robinson
and Tilden.
--- No intelligent and candid man can
now fail to see that the success OF
the Democratic party depends upon
it's discarding these bosses at once
and rallying to the sup
port of the National Democracy.
It is now plain that it is only in
that way the party can be saved,
either at the North or at the South,
The struggle in the Senate last
spring against Gorham and Riddle
| berger, and at the late session
against the Readluster postmaster 81
Lynchburg, revealed the just appre
hension felt for the machine move
ment at the South and the result il
to show how futile opposition O.
such men is to arrest it. The op
position of the Southern bosses
seems only giving fresh impulse t.
it, fo- = . as born of their success II
overthrowing the national Democ
racy. It is the revival Of the nation
al Democracy alone which can checl
Mahoneism, and it will check it eff
fectually. Until Tilden and Robin
son, the victorious chiefs of the ma
tional Democracy, were slaughtered
by the Southern bosses by means 0
their fraudulent electoral bill, and b,
the help of their henchman, Bos
Kelly, there was no Mahoneism a
the South. Tilden was not only II,
900 votes stronger than Hancock i
New York, but he was proportional
ly stronger in every Southern State
The panacea for Mahoneism is
therefore, to rally for the nations
Democracy, and to but down tn
bosses North and South.

WHAT THE EXPERTS SHOULD BE ASKED

We think that there remains little
doubt in the minds of those who have
followed the testimony in the Guiteau
trial, that the prisoner is, in one sense
of the word, insane. But-and this is
the important question-was hismind so
far affected at the time of the murder
that he did not know he was commit
ting crime? Did he know the act was
illegal? Did he know that it was muir
der, and that IL would be followed by
arrest, imprisonment and punishment:
III he did; if he knew 1t was o crime;
if he prepared for it coolly and cau-
tiOusly; and executed it as planned,
then he is sane enough to be hanged for
it. One of the experts testified that
probably one out of every five persons
is insane. In certain sense this may he
true; but it does not follow that one out Of
every five is to be held irresponsible for
violations of law. Guiteau is said to be
allied to madness, and all men Of gem
ius may be to degree insane; but they
must be held to account for crimes not
withstanding this. If Guiteau be re-
sponsible being he should suffer. No
outcry from those who would hang the
man, sane or insane, could induce Us to
favor his execution were the evidence
such as to show him unaccountable for
his acts. But such, in our judgment, is
not the case. He planned his crime
like sane man; he prepared for his
escape from mob like sane man; he
has shown himself able to meet such
brilliant attorneysas as Porter and Davidge
in their chosen field, and despite his &C.
centric actions, which may or may not
be the result of premeditation, the yer.
bict of the people will be that he should
suffer for his crime like u sane man.
