so fiercely assailed Garfield through

that this defamer of the dead voted

is severely let alone.
A REPUBLICAN candidate for an As
sembly nomination in the upper district
announces his candidacy subject to Re-
publican rules for the benefit of the tax
payer and the laboring man." Thereare
no such rules. Republican rule is en-
tirely to the detriment of the taxpayer
and laboring man. Becker must do bet

In view of the prevailing tendency Of
the New Jersey Legislature to grant to the

Der was not far out of the way who moved
at one fell swoop to lease the whole state

WITH.a proper appreciation of the TT

Cameron and Logan are bagging good

THERE is one feature of the Mason sem
tence which is attracting considerable at
tention, and that is he has received a
more severe sentence than could have
been passed on Guiteau if President Gar
field had in the end so far recovered as to
have remained a cripple for life. Guiteau
could then have been sentenced to only
eight years imprisonment, whereas Mason
received that and the loss of all pay due,
and the loss Of his position in the army.
A VERY notable contribution to the cur
rent political discussion is the outspoken
opinion of the Century magazine on the
Republican bossism and prostitution in
the South, by such movements as Ma
honeism, to gain political power by using
public patronrage:as bribe. The Gen.
tury is decidedly Republican in its tenden.
cies, but the tone of this article is signifi-
cant, aud we reprint it to show tho reac-
tionary effect in the North of the move.
ment to dismember the solid South by
corrupt political agencies.
The New York Sun sees in Sullivan,
the present champion Of the prize ring,
only brutally hard hitter, and it mourns
over the beautiful science of boxing. The
Sun thinks that "had consummate artists
as Tom Sayers or Jem Mace seen the late
fight between Sullivan and Ryan they
would have covered their faces with
shame and bowed their heads in mortifica-
tion that such bruisers should be ranked
at the head of their profession. The de-
velopment of such men is like the produc-
tion of enormous squashes and turnips.
The size increases, but the quality dete-
riorates. Sullivan now is preeminent, but
before man like Mace his giant strength
would be blind and useless"
THE Examiner knows very we'll that the
INTELL1eENCER and its party feel under no
obligation to State Senator C. S. Kauff-
man. If he had not otherwise shown him
self to be q narrow-minded partisan his
vote against the admission of Senator
Eckley B. Coke would have SETTLED it.
The Democratic party has far less of
political advantage to expect from such
party bigots than from some of the "gen.
orally fair and frequently liberal" parti
sans of the Hammer stripe. The lesson
which we desired. to impress upon the
Examiner is that when it makes its columns
sewer for the dirty stream Of Squire Sam
Evans's personal abuse of Kaufman, it is
helping Kaufman and hurting Stehman.
We have reason to believe that our ad-
monition has not been lost upon tho Er-
aminsr, and if its columns are watched
from now on to the primary election, it
will be observed that less space will be de-
voted to "red hot" items from Columbia
and "red headed lies" about Kaufman.
Make note of it.
The New York Times points ont that in
the little Republican stats of Rhode
Island, only ore person in nine votes,
owing to the discrimination against for

otherwise qualified, can vote at any elec-
ton unless he is possessed of real estate of
