A. b. C..
Clay township, Mo-, Nov. IL, 1888,
We believe that Hancock did. 1t was hard
to get the exact returns for q long time after
the election, and they were evidently kept
back IN order to cook up a majority on the
popular vote in favor of Garfield, to do away
with the bad impression on republicans made
by TIlden's popular majority of a quarter OF
a million votes. Soon after the election from
data obtained privately, Senator Beck an
nounced in the senate what the popular vote
was, showing that Hancock had a popular
majority of several thousand, and his asser-
ton went unchallenged on the floor of the
| senate; but the almanacs compiled since re-
verse this statement. Cooper's American
Politics, the latest authority, and republican.
gives the vote at, Garfield, 4,442, $50; Han
cock, 4.442, 035; majority for Garfield, 915.
Our correspondent is welcome to figure Out
what per certage this is of the total vote.

We beg leave to observe in all kind
ness that the time to urge upon the
people of Lafayette county different
modes of settlement of their bonded
troubles was before the elections Of
1875 and 1882. There the people spoke,
and what they commanded to be done
must be done. If consultation OR dis
cussion is necessary now on the part OF
the friends of the county it is on the
means Of carrying out their expressed
determination. By remembering this,
much useless difference of opinion may
be avoided.

Post-D ispatch:-"Summing up the
fall elections as far as heard from, the
rooster crews are on the democratic ma
jority. The Republicans have reeov-
cred Pennsylvania and Massachusetts,,
but have lost the great states of New
York, Ohio and Virginia, while saving
Iowa and Minnesota with greatly re-
duced majorities. The Democrats have
retained Maryland, New Jersey
and all the states usually counted al
democratic, while capturing Ohio and
New York and recovering Virginia
It is evident, however, that the republi
can party has in its desperation exhibi'
ted a rallying power that should max
the Democrats wiser and more caution
than they have recently been in New

There was nothing political in the
recent taxpayers convention. If its
leaders were mostly prominent demo-
Gratis that only proves that they are in
harmony with the people of the county
on the questions involved. The meet
ing was open to all. Not a democrat
was there to make political capital,
The position of each and every one of
them upou the debt question is so we'll
known IS to render their presence or
absence at that particular meeting a
matter Of the very smallest moment to
themselves. The attacks upon them
are but a beginning of another cam
paign of dirt such as the people have
already two Or three times severely re-
buked. The less of that kind of thing
there is on either side the better, il
seems to us, and SO far as the Intelli.
gencer is concerned it will do what il
can to keep politics in Lafayette county
out of the gutter. With persons whe
desire to place it there it has neither
the time nor the taste for discussion
So much in passing. What we desire
| especially to controvert is the bald as
sertion that the convention, last week
refused to compromise county bonds a
80 cents ON the dollar. This would
leave the impression (and seemingl!
designedly SOY that Lafayette count.
refuses to compromise its bonds at tina
rate, when the truth is that it offers t.

Mr.. Carlisle has been for some time
misrepresented to the country as to his
position on internal revenue taxation,
and as o as he arrived in Washing
ton City this misrepresentation was
repeated by local newspapers opposed
to him. AS soon as Mr.. Carlisle's at
tention was called to these declarations
he promptly announced that he
did not propose to allow newspapers
to place him in a false position upon
such IN important matter, nor did he
propose to run for the speakership up
on the platform Of Mr.. Randall. He
desired his position to be fully and
fairly understood by the members of
the next house and by the people gen.
orally. 'I desire to say" he said, s'for
the benefit of all whom it may concern,
that l am nov and always have been
| opposed to the abolition of the internal
revenue tax. I think it is all wrong to
repeal the tax on whisky and tobacco
while the tax on blankets, wooden
goods, and the necessaries of life are
kept up so high. 1 have asserted this
time and time again on the floor of the
house and elsewhere, and I do not see
how any one can misunderstood me OF
this question." Good for Carlisle
He is not only right in the position hi
assumes, but he has the courage Of hi
convictions, and he announces then
clearly and Enthusiastically. The peopl'
of this congressional district are will
him on that proposition. Both of hi
opponents are opposed to him. Mr.

We protest against the argument,
which is in effect a threat, that it will
be a democratic blunder to defeat Sam
uel j. Randall for speaker. MI. Ran
dali is one democrat among several who
desire to be speaker. If the majority
of the party feels itself better represen-
ted by some other nan than he, then ii
will be better to elect him, as belief Ill
itself, faith in its own principles and
policies is an absolute necessity, and 6
prerequisite to the convincing of inde-
pendent voters that they should ac'
with it. The New York Sun is no
always as discreet as it is lmpudent
Older and better democrats than it eve
was are for Mr.. Carlisle, and it is NJ
proof Of love for the party or anxiet!

act which it is almost certain to do
and which is in no way wrong in it
self, is a mistake. A little less Of thi

Lockhart exercises an unquestionet
