The Cdledonidn serves up the poll
teal situation in the following correct
and sensible style:
The political cyclone which struck
the republican party on Tuesday was
not wholly unexpected. The spirit of
disafection with the manner in which
nominations are made has been work
ing until the independent leayen has
leayened the political lump. When
federal office-hOlders are repeatedly
assessed for the purpose of carrying
state and national elections against
the expressed warnings of the conser-
vative and independent elements OF
the party when the party allies itself
with an adventurer like Malone in
Virginia; when the president and
members of the cabinet resort to the
practices of ward politicians, buy del
egates and issue forged kilograms !;
when the ring-leaders in the star-route
frauds are acquitted and their corrup-
ton condoned when river-and-har-
Dor steals pass Congress and the men
who voted for such measures 90 on
the stump and unblushingly defend
their action when this is the state
of affairs, 1t is matter of little sur
prise that tue people rise and rebuke
the party guilty of these things.
The result does not indicate an in
creased confidence in the democratic
party, but rather indicates a lack of
confidence in and distrust of the re-
publican party leaders. The history
of the republican party has been a
glorious one, but it cannot forever
live upon its history and traditions.
1t must send the bosses to the Fear
and take up the live issues of the day
instead of relying on its war record.
1t must move forward, prove itself
equal to the demands and emergencies
of the hour, or its mission as a polit-
cal organization is ended. We have
faith that it will do this and that
this dearly bought lesson will be the
crucibie in which it shall be tried and
from which it will come purified and
regenerated. If this proves to be the
case, the lesson of the elections will
not have been administered in vain.

A crazy man named Jackson, threw
Bolton township into fever the other
day, by climbing up a perpendicular
ledge 100 feet high. About half way
up he took off his hat, boots and coat
aud screamed for help. The village
at once turned out to save the lunatic
or witness his terrible fall. Some
strong men finally threw him a rope
from the top and hauled him up.
Crazy Jackson is the first man to scale
the cliff, and says he did it to cut his
name "higher up than George Wash
ington dast go"

Among the jocosities of the cam
paign, there was little joke which is
worthy of note. A Democrat who
remained down town to hear the elec-
tion news, and was supposed to have
done some cheering, telegraphed to a
Republican in South Abingdon inquir-
ing what was good for a sore throat.
The reply came promptly, "For a
severe case of sore throat eat crow"

John B. Cough is &c years old, yet
he clings to the lecture platform in
spite of the dangers to which a man

cold which has proved so stubborn
that he has deemed it advisable to can
eel all his engagements.
Horace Greeley said in the days of

that We want a--good licking, and
the trouble with that is that We can't
ind any one big enough to lick us.
