THE RECONCILIATION to Congress OF the
Hon. John S. Barbour by tine Democrats OF
the Eighth Virginia diFtrict-a renomina-
ton which is equivalent to an electon-ls
proper tribute to a most worthy gentleman
and a statesm anlike member Of the national
Ieeislature. Mr.. Barbour is effective as
copgressman an, and is gentleman whose pub
lie spirit, active enterprise, blended with
his personal integrity, has won for him the
respect and esteem of all gentlemen of either
and OF each party.
ALL THE present Democratic members OF
Congress from Alabama have been renomi-
mated, except Wheeler, in the Eighth dis
trict, who was turned out on contest By
Lowe. Wheeler himself declined TO enter
the race, and nominated Pryor, who carried
the convention by storm. Pryor was ap-
pointed senator to succeed Houston, and
served very creditably. He is one OF the
strongest men in the State, and will give
eBilly Malone" Lowe a sound drubbing.
The REPUBLICANS of Ohio are alarmed al
the state of affairs in that State, and recently
proposed tn at "test vote" shall be taken on
one of the State oficers-that is, vote in
| which every Republican shall vote as such
and every Democrat as such, without regard
to differences on the liquor question. To
this suggestion neither the Germans nor the
Prohibitionists propose to pay any attention.
! They cay that they "mean business" and
that what they want to do is to 'punish" the
Republicans for their hypocrisy, and that
the only effective way of doing this is to get
them beaten at the polls.
THE DENVER Netvs seems TO be familiar
with New York politics, and rates Cornell at
his real value. she deserves no sympathy"
it says Common deceucy should have
compelled him TO stand by Conkling, who
stood by him when Hayes fred him out OF
the customhouse. But CornelPs stock OF
decency is very limited. His defeat may
now be regarded as a foregone conclusion,
and he can well be spared. He was not
elected by the Republican party, but by that
pattern of political scroundelism, John
Kelly. New York politics will be improved
when both CorHell and Kelly are laid on the
shelf"
THE NEW YORK World reminds its read :
ers that after the facts became notorious
upon which ten of twelve jurymen have
found w. s. Dorsey guilty of rob-
bing the government, complimentary
banquet" was given TO Dorsey, which
was attended by almost every conspicu-
GUS Republican in the city, and il was
explained by the Vice-President-elect of the
| United States (Arthur) that the service BY
| which Dorsey had earned a complimentary
| banquet was the service of buying up voters
| at the October elections in Indiana. To the
| respectable Republicans assembled at the
banquet the statement of this fact seemed to
be so very creditable to Dorsey that il
| awakened among them an outburst of hila-
| rious admiration.
