THE New York Sun makes the fol-
lowing timely remarks From the
days Of Madison to the election OF
Garfield, it always happened that the
political party which carried a MAORI
ty of the House Of Representatives in
the middle of a Presidential term
elected the President two years after
ward. This old rule was for the first
time reversed in 1880. The democrats
carried a majority of the House in
1878 and according to the precedents
of the previous seventy years, they
should have elected Hancock to the
Presidency in 1880. Why did they
failY Prominent democrats in the
South had pro6ted by the great Fraud
which deprived Mr.. Tilden OF the Of
fee to which he was elected. The
party had been broken into factions,
some of which formed alliances with
the republicans. The people did not
reap the promised fruits of democratic
victories; and in the heat of the con
test of 1880, portion of the New
York democrats failed to do their du-
ty. Thus Garfield was elected. The
democrats have now chosen large
majority of the next House. Do they
hope to revive the old rule and secure
the Presidency in the coming cam
paignS In other words, will they so
act as to hold what they gained by
the tidal wave victories of last fally
New York shared more conspicuOusly
in those victories than any other State.
The result of the next Presidential
struggle will turn largely upon the
the course pursued by her democracy.

KELLooG goes out Of the Senate on
March 4ih, but Thomas NJ. Bowen,
another carpet-bagger Of the same
stripe, comes in from Colorado. Bow.
en- was formerly carpet-bagger IN
Arkansas, where he was notorious
during the period Of reconstruction.
He was a candidate for the Senate
against Dorsey in 1873. There were
only few democrats then in the Leg
islature, but the friends Of Mr.. Gar
land, the present Senator from Arkau'
sas, did not hesitate to vote for Dor.
sey as a man vastly to be preferred to
Bowen. That fact is. perhaps, the
strongest commentary that could be
made on the standing Of the new Sen
ator. After his defeat in Arkansas,
Bowen migrated to Colorado, where,
as Judge, he maintained the reputa.
ton which he bad carried with him.
His decisions in certain important
mining cases are familiar to the peo
pie of that State.

Sad and Fatal Accident.

Last night about 10 o'clock, as Il train
was backing down to Mankato from the
Junction, Mr.. Jerome Bauder. night
conductor was killed. Briefly, these are
the saddening circumstances connected
with the affair. AS the train was near
the treStle work ut the old driving park
u steer was seen on the track. The en-
CINE being on the wrong end of the
train, the engineer was unable to see
the danger, and no time was left to
give the signal to stop. The breakman
on the head car set his break and jump
eel from the train, at the same time call
ing To Jerome to follow. But this it
seems he did not ito. Being on the
platform next to car filled with wheat
when the coach was derailcd from com
ing in contact with the steer, he was
thrown into the creek below, distance
of about twelve feet, and INTO about a
foot of water. The end of the wheat
car burst open, and the wheat poured
out upon his PROSTATE form, cover
ing him with about two feet of the
cereal. Ii was some twenty min
utes before his body was recovered, and
WAS then only discovered through the
water washing the wheat away.
Mr.. Jerome Bauder was AZ years Of
age, land native of New York State. He
came to .,lankato about one year ago,
and during his brief residence here had
made many warm friends who were
deeply grieved To learn of the fatality
which had so Unexpectedly overtaken
him. Quiet and unassuming, he was
one of those individuals who impress
one with his acquaintance, and his ,lcatl,
is particularly depressing rs II was sud
den and dreadful.
His remains were conveyed to the
home ol his aged parents in Winona
this morning, accompanied by his broth
er, who is officiating in the capacity al
baggage man on the main line ot the
Northwestern.
