DEMOCRATIC BLUNDERIxG.

Thirty years ago the democratic par.
ty announced that "slavery is the cor
ner-stone of our republican institutions.
Where is slavery to-day.
Twenty years ago the democratic
party insisted that secession is an ina
lienable ri ht." Where is that perni-
cious doctrine to-day.
| Seventeen years ago the democratic
party declared that the debt piled up
by democratic rebellion would never
be paid yet 1t has been reduced nearly
oEe-half up to to-day!
Seventeen years ago the democratic
party protested that the nation, under
republican rule, would be bankrupted /;
yet behold its prosperity to-day!
Twenty years ago the democratic
party Illuminated and voted almost solid

an unconstitutional issue yet see how
they love them to-day
Thirteen years ago the democratic
party went solidly, in Congress and out,
against the public credit act; yet see
where that credit stands to-day
Seven years ago the democratic par

Bob Ipgersoll's Milne.

The press of the country seemed
not many days ago, to take a pleasure
in pointing a moral and adjoining a
tale from the statement that "Pope Bob
Ingerson had lost $780, 900 in cash and
the confidence Of some of his friends
in an unsuccessful, though once prom
ising mining venture. Now comes the
Sorocco IN. Ny Sun, published close
by the seat of Col. Ingersoll's ventures,
and says: There has been much
said about this NINE and much fun
poked at Col. Bob Ingersoll about it,
but if person could get 81, 900 worth
of stock at what it is said to have been
quoted at in New York and Washing
ton, it would realize nice little fortune.
The men who best know this mine, the
miners who have worked in it, have
never lost faith in the Ivanhoe. Its
that work will be resumed on
the mine within the next three weeks.
He who laughs last laugh BEST Bob
will get his laugh in POGO tempo-pret-

ONO ELECTION.
Ohio has gone democratic.

Ohio has gone democratic. BY
what exact majority it is too soon yet
to say,-but sufficient, at least. There
is no doubt that the democracy have
also gained several members of con-
gress. Such a result is by no means !,
surprise especially IN such 4 state as
Ohio, where change of twenty-five or
thirty and sometimes fifty thousand
votes is no novelty. Such a state OF
affairs is the bane of the machine pol
itician but it means good government.
Ohio is no more democratic state to-
day than it was when it buried Vallan-
bingham and Copperheadlsm under an
avalanche of nearly hundred thou
sand ballots, and whenever in the flu
ture single vital principle is at stake,
We have no fears that Ohio will not be
found sound to the core, and in the
advance. The German vote and the
whiskey question are said to be the
causes which brought about the pres
ent defeat. but while they may have
aided, i'll our opinion they were not the
only causes.
The death Of Garfield, the reckless
and insolent treatment of his followers
and friends by a certain element in the
republican party, not necessary to
name here; the extravagant and reck-
less legislation OF the last congress. are
all causes which have contributed to
the result.

OVER 100000 MAJORITY.

In the Kilkenny cat fight between
the Filleyties and the so-called Reform
ers both sides claim to be right. Yet il
our opinion both sides are clearly
wrong.
Filley undoubtedly was right IN try.
ing to bring about union between the
Republican party and the Greenback-
ers. That union alone could defeat
Democracy. Without such UNION,
even the united Republicans were in a
hopeless minority. He was right. too,
at first, in not desiring State Conven-
ton. There was really no need of one.
The candidates for the State offices
put up by the Greenbackers were old
line Republicans. The offices them.
selves were comparatively unimport-
ant. More than that, they were clear
ly non-political. Of all the offices of
the State, none should have less poll.
tics in them than the Supreme Bench,
the Railroad Commission or the Chief
fancy of the Public Schools. Yet he
was wrong in refusing to call conven-
ton after it became manifest that the
sentiment ofthe party was largely, how
ever foolishly in favor of holding one.
Right here MIR. Filley made the great
est mistake of his life. When the will
of the party became apparent, 1t was
his duty and should have been his
policy, to yield to it, call convention
himself and take his chances of con.
trolling it, and thereby averting an
open rupture.
As things now are the Democrats
will elect their ticket by majority of
over one hundred thousand. They will
probably gain three or four members
of Congress. They will carry many
Republican counties. Trey will have
a larger majority in the Legislature
than ever before. They will strength
en- their hold upon the politics of the
State for the generations yet to come.
They will deprive the Republicans of
many of the most important Offices in
his city.

ormers wanted when for years they

Independent for Congress
John NJ. GLOVER.
CLOvER-HATCH.

Hon. ]. M. Glover, Independent
candidate for Congress, spoke at Ma
sonic Hall last SATURDAY.. The hall was
well filed. there being nearly twice as
many people in attendance, than were
out to hear Mr.. Hatch. Mr.. Glover
devoted most of his time to his oppo-
nent's record in Congress, showing that
he deserted every tradition OF the party
and was hand in glove with its oppo-
nents, that Notwithstanding his pledges,
he had made no effort to continue the
investigations commenced by Mr.. Glow
er, and CONTEMPORARY ignored all in
formation in that line submitted to his
attention. Mr.. Glover then took up
the river and harbor bill ana exhibited
some of Its BEAUTIES and constituencies,
and gave Mr.. Hatch rebuke for in
tirnating that President Arthur acted
corruptly and in the interest OF the
eastern railroads when he vetoed it.
That he, Hatch, had voted against the
bill before 1t was sent to the President,
and when the President voted the same
way, by his veto, Mr.. Hatch turned
over and voted to pass the bill over the
veto and his OWL former vote.
During his speech Mr.. Glover ar
gued that men were not bound by NOM
nations, however made, when tile
candidate IS a qualification of the
party. That principles are older than
parties and conventions, and when the
latter fail to be in accord with the
former, men of principle are no longer
bound. Mr.. Glover, from this on pro-
poses to make a red-hot canvass, and
there is no doubt but he is receiving
a large amount Of silent support among
the more liberal minded democrats of
the district. With ANYTHING like full
vote cast in his favor his
chances for election are decidedly
good.
