THERE appears to be q solid foun.
dation fer the story that an attempt
was made to poison Guiteau the
day before his execution. Accord.
ing TO the New York Tribune, Mrs
Scoville went to the jail that day ac.
companied by her daughter, John
W. Guiteau and Miss Chevalier
On the way they stopped at a for
lists and Mrs. Scoville ordered {
large bouquet for her brother, which
she carried with her to the jail
Her manner was so excited and pc
culiar that the jail officers insisted
Oh placing Guiteau in his cell before
admitting his sister: but she wa:
allowed to give him the bouquet
before leaving. As she went away
she was heard to urge Guiteau tc
smell the central rosebud in The
bouquet, and Guiteau continued to
burrow in the flowers with his nose
until they were taken from him. A
white powder was found in the CEN
tral flowers, and an analysis of the
rosebud mentioned has shown the
presence OF enough arsenic TO kill
several persons. Guiteau was not
shrewd enough to guess his sisters
meaning but it is very doubtful
whether he would have had the
courage to take arsenic, even if he
had known where to find it.

We invite the attention of Repub-
licans 10 the following from the y.

evil counsel of that once influential
journal is now giving the men in
this State who are laboring to rule
or ruin the Republican party. The
Tribune bolted the party in 1872,
and although it soon crawled back
into the ranks, il has ever since tried
to avenge the contempt which it
richly earned, and under which il
smarts, by laboring TO disrupt the
party. Its admission that the In
dependents do not pretend to be
strong enough to elect, but have
strength enough to defeat the party,
and throw the State to the Demo
cracy, fully discioses the animus OF
its designs:
The Pennsylvania independents have de-
cided to reject all the propositions tor har-
mony submitted 10y the Cameron State Com
mittce, and we are unable 10 sec how they
could have done otherwise As the Tib,aae
has steadily maintained the independents
are justified in rejecting all compromises
which aim n the perPetuation Of Bossism.
The propositions Of the Cameron Committee
merely invited The Independents to enter a
contest 20 see whether they could beat the
machine in packing q State Convention.
They Do not pretend to be strong enough TO
DO anything of the kind. They are fighting
10 overthrow the machine first. and thus
give the party chance 10 control itself.
They are in q position now where they be-
liege jbcY can smash the machine al the
COT % a temporary defeat of The party, and
they think the result will justify the means.
Mr. Cameron committee could save the
party by sacrificing him but they have de-
clined to do tas. L must be. evident TO
them now that they cannot save him and
the party at the same time by treating the
Independents as political imbecilez.

FoR some days past sensational
stories of the treatment OF Guiteau's
BODY have been afoat, but they are
now set at rest by the statement
that no disinterment has taken
place. In view of the closing para
graph of the contradiction, it is not
difficult to imagine the motive for
the runsors. and the assertion that
the bones will not find their way 10
4 Boston museum simply suggests
the possibility that some sort of a
skeleton will sooner or later figure
rs that of the assassin in some
money-making scheme. The credu
lous and morbid public who could
gaze with any satisfaction Oh such q
relic would be just as well satisfied
with the articulated remains of some
innocent rustic as upon any other
set of bones, so that ii is quite
probable the scheme will be carried
out somewhere before long. The
English.practice Of interring the re-
mains Of murderers in quicklime
has the advantage Of rendering such
an imposition impracticable.

1t is not the first time the Times has
conceded Pennsylvania to the Dem

Der that no native of Maryland was
ever elected Governor of Pennylva-
MIA, and it is an unpromising time
to attempt to reverse the rule now
when the standard-b bearer of Repub-
licanism is one OF the ablest, best
and purest of Pennsylvania's sons,
who upheld the standard of our
State on Southern battle-felds and
offered his life as sacrifice for the
integrity of the State and the per
petuation OF the Union.

The people have once more decid.
ed to entrust the Democratic party
with political power. The corrup.
ton, misrule and tyranny of the
Republican "bosses" have wrought
the change. The Democrats, too,
gave distinct and solemn pledges
that they would reform the abuses
which have made the Republican
party offensive and the voters con.
Guided to take them at their word.
1t should therefore he understood
at the outset by every Democrat
elected to Office and by the party at
large that those pledges must and
will be filed to the letter.
After the lapse of another year
the Republicans will yield their con.
troll of Congress to the Democrats.
If the present Republican Congress
at this session should fail to reduce
and readjust taxation its Democratic
successor must not shrink from the
task. Every Democratic platform,
every Democratic newspaper, every
Democratic candidate for Congress
assured the people that if the De-
mocracy were restored so power in |
the Federal Legislature the unnec-
essary and oppressive internal reve.
nue. taxes would be abolished or |
greatly reduced and that appropria. |
tons Of the public money would be |
limited only to the actual require.
ments Of government. This pledge |
must be promptly and honestly re. |
deemed, and in order that this may |
be done the more easily and effectu-
ally there should be no unseemly |
contest for the organization of Con. |
gress. A disgraceful wrangle over
the few Offices which are to be dis.
is unworthy of the leaders
Of a great party, and as experience
has shown, retards the work of re.
form, and eventually brings disaster
and defeat. Let the Democratic
be warned in time.
