~ EMPTY CRY.

| An amusing feature of the pending Congress
sional campaign in the several States will be
the efforts OF Democratic newspapers to make
capital against the Republicans on the score of
the enormtles of the River and Harbor bill.
The complications of the political situation
| make the task decidedly embarrassing one,
but it appears to be about all there is left for
them and like the boy with his thumb In the
woodchuck's mouth. they've @got to hold on,
| for the folks are out o. meat" The first cIy
after the passage of the bill and before the
hasty hoOdluns of the slang -whanging press
| had caught mp with the facts and found out
who did it, was that it was a stupendous steal :"
| in their favOrte slang-and that the Republ-
cans having a majority in Congress- were solely
responsible for it, 1t was godsend to them.
| The pack opened in full cry, and for few
1 days the air of Democratic newspaper offices
| was lurid with red-hOt denunciatons of the
"logrollers," "cOrruptionists," thieves" and
"robbers" who voted for the bill. 1t presently
| began to appear, however, that these epithets,
| like the famous Glover Investigations a few
| years ago. were in the nature of boomerangs
instead of damaging the enemy tl.ey returned
to wound the thrower. A long procession of
Democratic Congressman returned to their
constituents bringing their sheaves with
them" in the shape of slice of the appro-
prIations for the deestnct," but with their
brows adorned with very hard names flung by
their own newspapers.
The situation was and continues to be en-
barrassing. Some of the Democratic news
papers are comforting themselves in the most
painful manner to adapt themselves to it,
others have subsided into sullen sort of
silence, and all are manifestly disgusted.
Only two or three are trying to save their own
reputation for consistency by playing the
Roman father dodge, impartially cOndemning
all who voted for the bill, and demanding that
no Democrat shall be renomnaed who
offended in this particular. 1t is perfectly
safe to predict, however, that no candidate foI
denomination Will be defeated OH that ground
If The TRIBUNE hears of a case of the kind
between this time and November it will take
great pleasure in contributing to the expense
of transporting the defeated candidate 10 this
city that he may be exhibited under glass as
proof that in one Congressional district in
the country the Democratic party is honest
and actually means what it says. The diff
Guilty with which the Democratic newspapers
find themselves COL fronted Is that while they
are urging people to rebuke the Republicans
for passing the River and Harbor bill they are
under the necessity OF supporting for reelec-
tion Democrats who voted it.
: A good illustration of their embarrassing pre-
dicament is found in Connecticut. An earn
est desire exists, OF course, among the Dem
ocrats of that OF other States to rebuke Repub-
lican extravaganza and wastefulness by putting
Democrats in all the offices. They would like to
have the people believe that the River and
Harbor bill was Republican measure carried

TIE CHRoNIC ONO cROAKER.

There is excellent ground for believing that
Ohio will go Republican this year as usual
To suppose that the State will go Democratic,
under the conditions at present existing, is to
impeach the morality and intelligence of its
citizens. The issue which overshadows all
others there is that of temperance and a
Christian Sunday. The Republicans have
taken their stand on the side of temperance.
They are outspoken in favor of restricting the
liquor traffic on weekdays and suppressing it
entirely on Sundays. The Democrats have
taken the oDDOsite position. While their plat
New-York tribune., 1882-08-15

bv Republican votes against Democratic OPP
position. They must do this In order to put
themselves in position to make party capltai
out of it. Ii happens, unfortunately for them,
however, that both Republican Senator'S voted
against the bill in all its stages, and that one
of the three Republican Congressman is also
recorded in opposition to it, while the only
Democratic Representative from the State, Mr.
Phelps, voted for the bill and has taken pains
to write n letter to the press defending his ac-
ton and replying sharply to what he considers
the unjust criticisms of the newspapers. HIS
action is approved by the Democratic news
papers in his district-though they unite III
condemning the bill itself as Republlcan
steal"-upon the ground that 1t contained
large appropriations for the rivers and harbors
of his own district, the urgent need OF which
justified him in voting for those OF more
questionable character. Another queer COM
plcation in this case is that one of the DEM
ocratic organs which defends his vote on the
River and Harbor bill, opposes his renomi-
nation for the reasons that he refused to act
with his party in leaving the House without a
quorum in the contested election cases, and
because he has had it long enough" Should
he fail to be renOmlnattu lJ VIII certainty
not be because of his vote on the River and
Harbor bill.
Similar complications embarrass the DEM
ocrats in other States who would like to make
party capital out of the River and Harbor bill.
Then, too, it must be borne in mind that the
largest appropriations are those urged by South
ern Democrats for the benefit Of their own
section, and tLat an analysis of the final vote
shows that larger percentage OF Democrats
voted for it than of Republicans. So that any
attempt by Democrats to make capital out OF
this question must be attended by fatal en-
barrassments. We are very far from defend
ing this bill. The methods by which 1t was
concocted and carried through are mt war with
all our ideas of political morality and sound
party policy. But there was never any dlvls-
ion on it upon party lines, and it is simply
dishonest to undertake to hold the Republican
party solely responsible for it. Had the same
proportion of Democrats voted against it as OF
Republicans it would have been defeated.
Nothing could be more absurd in the circum-
stances than the Democratic cry on account OF
it against Republican extravaganza and waste.

The scores of the militiamen who are to CON-
pete to-day at CreedmoOr for places in the team
that is to shoot next month with represent
ative team of the British Volunteers will be
watched with interest, for some idea of the
chances of our men for victory may be gath
cred from the results. General Wingate and
other managers of the match are saDguine of
success for the Americans. Whether their
hopes are realized or not, the September contest
will greatly benefit the National Guard Of
this country, not only by encouraging a
desire to become more skIlful in the use of
arms, but in promoting efforts TO improve the
style of weapon. commonly used by soldiers.
Indeed, it Is said these results have been al
ready attained in a measure.
