An Hl.Founded Republican Sheer.

There is not q little cheap sneering
on the Republican side at the Demo-
cratic declarations in Congress OF be.
lief that Garfield has been elected and
will be inaugurated. The New York
Times, in particular, speaks of these
declarations as \ "paradc OF virtue,'
and points to the fact that Garfield has
PA votes to HancOck's 1915, as it it
were quite sufficient to make ridiculous
any expression of a willingness on the
part of General Hancock's supporters
to permit General Garfield to be count
ed in without objection. Z
But if any candid person. acquainted
with the recent history of the country,
will fairly look at the matter, he will
see that the sheer is not only ill-found-
ed, but comes with very bad grace
from the Republican party. Four years
ago that party, defeated at the polls,
did not announce its willingness to &C.
cept defeat, but proceeded to falsify
the votes Of two States. and eventually
succeeded in inaugurat;ag the defeated
candidate. If there haI heen no such
experience, it would be ridiculous for
the supporters of q de. eatcd candidate
to announce thatthey accept The verdict;
hut in the light Of that experience it has
become anecessity forthe quoting OF the
public mind, that the defeated party
shall make the announcement. the
Republican party created that necessi-
ty. Its organs recognized that neces.
sity when they began, Immediately att
er election -actuated, no doubt, by the
twinges of conscicnce-of accusing the
Democracy of intending to follow the
wicked Republican example. 1t does
not lie with the party or organs to
sheer at the Democracy for also recog-
. nizing the necessity and giving assur'
ance that the Republican fraud Of 1876
!, is not to be repeated. 80 - 49,

From Chicago Times, June 81
One of the most important railroads
now in course of construction in the
United States is that upon which the
controlling capitalists of the Union
the utmost energy and expedition that
unlimited financial resources can COM
mand. This enterprise was deter
mined upon three months ago. Its
initial point is Granger station, some
1856 miles east of Ogden and s76 west
of Council Bluffs, on the Union Pacific
line. From Granger the inc extends
northwest to Port Neuf, in Idaho, at
or near which place it, crosses the
Utah and Northern railroad and
thence, following with little variation
the same general direction, crosses
Snake river at the great ShoshOne (or
American) falls, touches Boise City,
Idaho, and Baker City, Ogn., and ter
inmates at Portland, in the latter state.
a glance at the map will show the i'm
pOrtance of this new road to Chicago.
1t penetrates the most pOpulous por-
tiOn of IdahO-a district abOundiny in
mineral and agricultural wealth al
ready fairly developed-and connects
tuC WiioiC vi tiot dIu tDe
vast region of Eastern Oregon, now
practically isolated, with the outside
world. The new line, as has been said,
Is to form part of the Union Pacific,
and will, therefore, of necessity, be
essentially Chicago road. The coun-
try II traverses has almost illimitable
agricultural and grazing capacities,
and contains scores of growing towns
and some Of the richest developed
mines on the continent. The road is
sure of large local trade from the
start, which will be immensely in
creased by the opening of a way to
market. 1t will be powerful rival
OF the Northern Pacifice for the trade
Of Oregon, and dispose OF all danger
OF n diversion of travel and commerce
from that portion of the Pacific coast
to any northern route eastward.
