the polls always follows the judicious
selection of candidates in the conven-
ton. Hon. H. L. Pierce it was expect
ed would be the Republican nominee, but
at the last moment declined, the use of
his name chiefly on account of ill health
and the previous strong position he
took on the license and other questions,
he was fearful might cause some dis
affection in the party and recommended
Congr .ssman Robinson as man who
could command the support of all. and
who will probably be nominated.

An eastern newspaper states that
Governor Hendricks favored, o protec-
tive tariff in his recent Iowa speech.
Another newspaper declares that, in
the same speech, the Indiana politician
declared for II ''tariff for revenue only"
Both seem to be correct. Ex-Governor
Hendricks, in the speech referred to in
dorsed both tariff for revenue andN
tariff for protection. The speech can
be quoted to support either side of the
tariff question. MIR. Hendricks has long
been considered the most expert stradd-
Ter in American politics, but his recent
effort in Iowa distanced any of his
former achievements in this line. 1t is
remarkable also how many times q
year he feels constrained to define his
position on presidential candidacy
He first declined the Vice presidential
nomination, then after the ticket was
defeated, declared he would never be
candidate for that place again. He
was lately reported as asserting to the
use of his name on the ''old ticket"
and now since his visit with the Sage of
Greystone," an eyewitness puts it in this
way: ''Neither Tilden or Hendricks
will again emerge into public life, I'M
less the Democracy demands" Surely
Mr.. Hendricks can sustain his reputa-
ton of being first-class democratic
topper at all events.

Bootblacks and Newspaper Men.

The Democrats and the Presidency

The Democrats, being in opposition,
must raise some issue or other in order
to justify their damand for change in
the government; and so they have start
ed the cry that the Republican party is
hopelessly corrupt, and that the first
step toward better state of affairs is to
"turn tne rascals out" This cry was
started almost simultaneously in var
ious parts of the country, and the DEM
ocratic leaders apparently intend to
make it the main issue next year. But
if they do. they win, in our opinion,
make a grave mistake. No one will
deny that there are corrupt men among
the leaders of the Republican party, or
that there have been of late years scan
dalous cases of malfeasance in office,
for which that party is mainly response
BILE. But when we are asked to turn the
Republicans out as step toward re-
form. the question Immediately arises,
Whom have we to put in their placer
Such a party as the Republican party
now is, would not remain long in power,
if there were a party of unimpeachable
integrity to put in Its place. But, I'M
fortunately for the Democrats, the in
tegrity of their party is by no means
unlmpeachable, and there is strong
reason to doubt whether they are whit
better than their opponents. To be
sure they have not done so much as the
Republicans toward corrupting the
national government, for the excellent
reason that they have not had the power
to do so; but in the States and cities
where they have had control of affairs,
their management has been quite as
corrupt as that of their opponents. Nay,
in one respect it has been worse; for
the shameless reputation of public
debts in many of the Southern States
has been in the main their work, though
there has been some disgraceful CO.
quoting with the regulators on the
part of Republicans. Then we all
know what scandalous abuses have
marked their reign in the city of New
York, where they have had interrupted
control for whole generation, scan
dals which are by no means thing of
the distant past. Nor has the party
redeemed these acts by valuable services
in the work of reform; on the contrary,
it has in many cases opposed reforms
which the Republicans carried into eff
fect.-From "2opics Of the Times" in

Butler's Chances.

Politics in the Bay State, just at
present, are securing more than their
usual yearly quota of attention from the
country ut large, not because it is the
largest. most wealthy or centrally To-
Gated, that all eyes are riveted this fall
ON Massachusetts,, but because division
in the ranks of the Republican party
and dissatisfaction among the indepen-
dent and intelligent voters with the
opening acts of an accidental and I'M
tried administration, a great Democratic
tidal wave swept over the country in
November 1882, and waited Ben Butler
in the executive chair of Massachusetts,
an Office. for which men, principles and
parties have been made in the hands of
this prince of schemers, subseryient
tools for the qualification of his allah
sorbing ambition. First as democrat
then as republican. and afterward as
labor-greenback- democrat, for twenty
five years past he has been before the
people OF that state as candidate for the
goyernorship. and in turn has been re-
pudiated and denounced by each, and
during his present incumbency of the
Office, his course has been so audacious
and brazenly vain in his official acts,
that portion of his labor greenhack
followers, now openly denounce his &C
tions as a mere subterfuge for the pur-
pose of advancing his own interests and
furthering his higher ambition for Presi-
Dental nomination.. With a becoming
sense of propriety aud tho proper fit
ness of things, this course on the part of
apublic servant is causing the intelli-
gence and patriotism of the old common
wealth to arise in its might and re-
buke this gross presumption, and re-
deem the state from an administration
of its chief executive Office, which is
unparalleled in disregard of decency
and propriety in the annals of her his

New Ferry Mt Eagle Point.

Good news to the farmers and bust
ness men of Grant county. A com
pany has been formed in Dubuque, la.
to establish substantial ferry at Eagle
Point in connection with street rail
way, from the ferry landing, to the
heart of the city. This will give the
people of Grant county a very short
route to Dubuque, and will be source
OF profit to both sides of the river. The
company is known as the Eagle Point
Ferry and Street Railway Co. and
has filed articles of incorporation to
that effect. The capital stock is fifty
thousand dollars, the shares one hun
dred dollars each. The company has
obtained the necessary ordinances from
the city of Dubuque and have made a
survey and plan of the proposed ferry
route.
The ferry is to run east from Eagle
Point to the Island on the opposite
shore, and the intermediate distance
from the landing, east to the high
ground in Wisconsin, to be brjdged, in
q substantial manner. A committee
has waited upon the people of Menom-
once and Dickeyville and found them
much in favor of the enterprise. They
at once appointed two COMMITTEES con-
sistion of A. Schmitt, M. Churchill,
Mr.. Tresslcr and others for the town OF
Paris, and j. Lenster, c. Gauterman
and Geo. Keeler, for jamestown town
ship to take the necessary steps to raise
funds to build the approach on the
Wisconsin shore. The people of Wis.
consin and the people of Dubuque have
joined hands in this undertaking, and
their combined efforts, will make the
enterprise a success.

Recently in answer to the inquiry OF
friend rs to his opinion respecting the
Republican prospects in 1884, Mr..
Blaine said: cat the present time / re-
gard the prospects of the Republicans
in the campaign of 1884 better than
they were a year before the campaign
of 1880, and in every way more hopeful
than they were a year prior to the elec-
ton of 1876. For years there has not
been so general a feeling of harmony
in the Republican party as exists at the
present time, while the absence
of anything like unity of sentiment on
the leading issue of the tariff, by the
Democratic leaders leads intelligent
men to distrust that organization more
than ever" Being asked about avail
able candidates he said that he thought
a Western man would be stronger, all
things considered, than an Eastern
man.

The contest in Iowa wages hot all
over the state. Never was there greater
energy shown by all parties than this
year. 1t is crucial test of the prohibit
ton question, and both parties are de-
termined to win. The Democrats have
imported Springer and Morrison from
Illinois and Mcdonald from Indiana
The Republicans have Senator Hawley
from Connecticut and other notables.
A Republican victory of $4,000 majority
or over is predicted. The Democrats
are getting mad and swearing at the
preachers and women for dabbling in
politics. These are some of their
methods when they discover they are
losing ground and likely to be beaten.
