Republican whose nomination would make several
Southern States doubtful The Republican VINO

Before another dollar is subscribed for the ped
estal of the Bartholdi statue, we beg that the
Clarendon Hall philosophers may have some assur-
ance given them that it will not be dedicated on
anybody's birthday, unless it be Saint Patricks.
These gentlemen have had their feelings sufficiently
hurt IN the matter of the Brooklyn Bridge. They
will not bear much more trifing. The statue can
very easily be blown up Let us start fair Not
another dollar until it is fixed that 1t shall be ded-
Gated on Saint Patrck's Day.
yAe Iron Times reports that /" Mr.. Randall goes TO
bed at o'clock aud rises at o'clock IN summer"
Considering how difficult it must be to go to bed with
any comfort fence and that eternal vigilance is
the price Of the Speakers chair, we should think
Randall Would prefer to sit up all night.
The Jedersonian Democracy stands revealed as
JeffersoDian Humbug. After talking about Jef-
ferson. Joastng Jefferson. celebrating his birthday
and calling him the Father Of his party for more
than half century. tie Democratic leaders sud
denly mako IL apparent that they really care moth
ing whatever about him. His grave ut Charlottes-
,sille, Va, was totally neglected for many years
Recently the people of the neighborhood exerted
themselves and raised money enough to get mon
ument. They have made great exertions TO az
semble the Democratic statesmen OF the country at
the grave on the approaching Fourth Of July, and
have the monument unveiled with impressive cere-
monies. Invitations were sent to General Hancock,
Senator Bayard, Senator Thurman Governors
Cleveland and Pattison and many Others, but all
have declined to attend. The Committee OF Arrange
ments are still looking for orator OF the day and
can find him not. The outlook now is that the I'M
veng will be o mere local ceremonial, without
single Democrat of National reputation to take
part in it, It's profcssed loyalty to its dead heroes
has heretofore been the Demoeracys strongest
point Now it appears that the party is as insin-
cere in that az in everything else.
Tho Democratic Boston Post thinks there is q
possibility of having too much Indiana IN it. Hen
bricks and Mcdonald under one canvass it thinks
us too much of a good thing" and inquiries why
they cannot como to some understanding similar to
that existing between Forepaugh and Baraum. We
presume the difficulty is that they can't which
shall play fore paw.
We nave already expressed the opinion that Sena-
tor Beck mea mt deliberate mischief when he came
East and whispe red into reporters ear that he
knew n Republican who, if nominated for Presl-
dent would make several Southern States doubt
full, and BIO a sure winner; and that he was so
afraid of him that lie did not dare spread his name.
We cannot hope TO change the subject by claiming
to know of any Democrat who could carry the next
election, but we do know of one whose nomination
would mako several Northern States doubtful.
And as we don't want to tantalize people and arc j
not afraid of him. we frankly say his name is
Butler.
Democratic newspapers that are now engaged in
denouncins certain prison contracts will please IN
form the public why the late Democratic Legisla-
ture took precious good care not to NEEDLE mate
rally with the contract system.
The Schokarie Republican sees in the Governors
veto Of sundry items ia the Supply bill the inten-
ton ON the part of that official to hew to the line
LET tho chips fall where they may" OF course.
But suppose one Of the chips takes Erastus Brooks
in the eye and another settles in the windpipe OF
John c. Jacobsg Those two gentlemen. as The Re
nubloan is aware were chalrmen of the committees
that reported the Supply bill that got so very badly
clipped.
