OuR esteemed contemporary the Steuben-
Vile Ga.eiie expresses, with its customary
politeness, some doubt whether Mr.. Ross
j. Alexander was correctly reported in the
lHrRI.lloEScER OF Yesterday. Mr.. Alex
aniar did say that he regards 4 Republican
triumph in the Seventeenth district as a
ioregone conclusion, and he gave good
reasons for his opinion; rs for instance,
"The Republicans have all the advan-
tages. Their ,majorities are principally in
the towns, where a full vote can be brought
out in the short time ut their disposal, while
the Democratic strength lies in sections
which cannot be thoroughly canvassed."
Anotberand striking reason, not mentioned
by Nj. Alexander, is that there are more
RepubliexnH than Democrats in the dis.
rrict. Does our esteemed cotemporary
think tho Democrats over the river have a
fair fighting chance this time? And II SO,
ou what grounds does Il base its belief?

TIE Washington correspondent Of the
Pittsburgh Chronicle says: "The. evidence
upon which the Washington detectives are
convicted is that of two thieves, serv.
ing out the penalty OF their: crimes in
jail." ltwould have been difficult, perhaps
impossible, to convict them in any other
way. Honest men do not have dishonest
transactions with anybody; they have no
reason to ask and pay for protection from
so.called detectives. When the Philadel-
phia Pres, wentafter the notoriously cor
rapt detectives Of that city they lodged
behind the well.sounding plea that the
Press was proceeding against them on the
testimony. OF "a convicted thief" But the
Press dragged them out, encouraged wit
ness not convicted thieves TO come forward,
and kept banging away until the Mayor
cut Off the head Of every thiefin his en-
ploy. For thoroughly good house clean
ing no broom sweeps so clean rs an earnest,
honest, courageous newspaper.

THE pardon of Cox, the murderer OF

Brown is said to be about to retire from the

pardon and Governor Stephens desired to
be on the right side Of the Legislature. Cox
ought to have served out his term-in fact,
