TEsT,yG DEMOCRATIC LOGIC.

Leading Democratic newspapers or thls oIate
argue that the Star Route frauds ought to, ana
will, beat the Republican party in 1884.
Now, if these newspapers desire to MAINTAIN o
consistent attitude they must of necessity hold
that the coupon frauds lately brought to light
in the Controllers Office in this city ought to
and will insure the defeat of the Democratic
party of this State in this falls elections Logic
is logic.
One Of these newspapers begins cordial in
vitation for the overthrow of the Republicans
next year with the assertion " The Star Route
defendants were Republicans. They were
prosecuted by Republican administration,
@tried by o Republican judge, and acquitted by
"a Republican Jury" ParOdying this presenta-
ton of a case, it may be said that the coupon
frauds were committed by a Democrat, or by
Democrats, that they are being investigated. by
Democrats, and that II any arrests are made, a
trial will follow of indicted Democrats 10y
Democratic judge, and Democratic jury as
likely as MOTT is certainly well within the
prObabilities-will pronounce verdict OF not
guilty. The repeated use of the word Demo-
crat in the one case is just rs sienliicant ana
impressive as the repeated use of the word Re-
publican in the other.
But these newspapers proclaim that the Re-
publican party is responsible" for the Star
Route frauds. The statement will not bear
examination. But admitting, for the sake OF
argument, that it is true, then we remind these
critics who-of cOurse-think more Of justice
than they do of craftsmanship, that with equal
propriety the Democratic party OF this State
can be held responsible" for the coupon frauds
committed in the great Democratic depart
ment of government of their great stronghold.
1t is too early as yet to determine whether or
not these newspapers will apply the rule which
they have laid down in regard to the Star Route
frauds to the coupon frauds. Obviously it is
poor rule that will not work in both parties. III
they unite in opposing n call for Democratic
State Convention, giving as a reason for so
doing that the coupon frauds ought to and will
beat their party, and good. Then their Star
Route talk will command more attention. But
IL they refrain from opposing the call for con-
ventiou aud, the convention having been called
and the ticket nominated, they do their best to
render the Democratic campaign successful, we
will be compelled to believe.that they are firmly
convinced that it does make difference whose
OK it is that is gored.

Republican President, who was the most popu
lar man in his party, became so personal In
character as to be danger to good government
and to the perpetuity of tree institutions, the
party rose against him, and after the most
strenuous internal struggle any party had ever
undergone without dissolution, set him ASIDE
and marched to victory with the best equipped
statesman who had entered the Presidency
since John Adams. When last year the people
let it be known that certain reforms were inn
peratve, such US a reduction of taxation, re-
form of the Civil Service, and the abolition OF
internal re venue taxes, the Republican Congress
responded instantly aud in the face of persistent
Democratic opposition accomplished the re-
forms demanded.
How has 1t been with the Democrats 7 What
have they reformed7 They have been out of
power for a quarter of a century aud have no
record of deeds done by which they can be
judged /; but it is entirely fair to Judge them by
their own professions. 1t would be easy to 60
back to the time when they were in power and
show how, from Jackson and his spoils system
down to Buchanan with Floyd and Thompson,
the party's record was not only full of scandal
and corruption, but that in every instance it
protected and fostered its own evildoers.
What the record has been in recent years every
body knnws. 1t was against the preservation
of the Union against the preservation of the
public credit; against the resumption OF specie
payments; against honest elections; against the
protection and preservation of American indus
try. The party was in open alliance with the
Greenback heresy and the silver dollar deluson
1t conducted great reform campaign in 1875
and ended it with the most infamous conspiracy
ever known TO political history. 1t conducted
a campaign in 1880 on the issue of Change"
and was disastrously beaten because the people
realized that change to Democratic rule meant
simply a change for the worse.
There are no signs that the people have
changed their minds on the subject. The Dem
ocrats have done nothing to show that they are
any more capable of reform now than they have
ever been. They shout Reform" as Justify as
ever, but it is our calm conviction that until
they show the ability to reform Themselves the
people are not going to be so short-sighted as to
ask them to reform anything else.

THE SINE OLD CRY.

The Democrats appear to be planning fresh
expedition for the reform of everything. Their
newspapers are Publishing laborious compila-
tons of Republican shortcomings and are assur-
ing the conntry that there can be no thorough
reform in affairs until the Government is put in
the hands OF the Democratic party. THIS is a
familiar performance. 1t was tried in 1870,
and was then called "Reform." 1t was tried
again in 1880, and was then called a Change"
In both instances IL was failure. III ii is to
be tried again In 1884, the Republicans will ac-
cept the chances on it with genuine pleasure.
Some OF these charges which are brought
against the Republican party are true; othcrsarc
false. What we wish to emphasize is the fact
that the Republican party has never been afraid
to grapple with corruption in its own ranks and
to retire from its service the men found guilty
of it. 1t is the only party in American politics
which has ever shown either the disposition or
the ability to reform its own abuses. 1t inves-
tigatcd the Credit Mobilier scandal and of its
own accord began the prosecution of the Star
Route operators. When the administration of

The management of Cornell University has

colleges would do well to follow. President
White announced yesterday that Mr.. II. V.
Adams had been elected to the chair OF HIS
tory and Political Economy, but that, as the
new professors views were those of the Free
Traders. the Hon. Ellis II. Roberts had been
engaged to present to the students the Protec-
tionists' theory of trade. The objections to SUCH
one-sided instruction as is given on these
points to undergraduates in most OF our lnsti-
tutions of learning, and especially at iaie'
have already been set forth in The TRIBUNE

worthy feature of the racing'at Sheepshead Bay
as illustrated yesterday is the reckless way In
which the stseplechases are ridden and the re-
markable good fortune of the jockeys in escaping

nature that it seemed almost impossible Tor
horse or man ever to rise again. In reality no
serious harm was DONE If sailors are pro-

Senator Thurman is reported as saying that the
only regret of his life is that he went into pol

the spectacle IL has made of itself during the last
quarter of a century it doubtless experiences the
same pensive regret.

The Executive Committee Of the National Union

shown sagacity and practical knowledge OF the
situation there. The series of meetings to be held
in that section which begins at Atlanta in the fall
will be continued through the winter and early
spring. This is n wise course to pursue. Those
who have studied the political conditions IN tho
South know that efforts confined to the few weeks

suits If the Republican party is to be reorganized
in the Southern States it must be reconstructed
from the bottom up. To accomplish this will re-
quire systematic, persistent efforts wisely directed.

the right method to reach the object it has in
